The continued mis-treatment and marginalization of Sabah and Sarawak by the PM and the federal government is just adding fuel to the fire for separation. Following the footsteps of the unequal hike in the electricity tariffs, the giving of flood aid to the Peninsula and not to Sabah and Sarawak is just but another one of the unfair treatment of Sabahans and Sarawakians and lending credence and indirect support to the calls for separation from Malaysia. If the federal government continues with the lop-sided policies and ignore Sabah and Sarawak, the time will soon come for Malaysia to comprise of only the Peninsula without Sabah and Sarawak or the reversion back to the Federation of Malaya or Persekutuan Tanah Melayu which appears to be the basis of the Umno and right-wing calls for 1-Melayu. Or perhaps the federal government should seriously consider allowing Sabah and Sarawak to part ways just like Singapore in 1965 and focus on the 1-Melayu concept in the Peninsula.
