Sarawak’s Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development, Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, has cautioned against political parties exclusively focused on a single ethnic group. He stated that such parties are unlikely to succeed in the state. While acknowledging that the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) has a base among Bumiputera communities, Karim emphasized the party’s understanding that Sarawak’s progress depends on inclusivity. He argued that championing the interests of all ethnicities is crucial for the state’s continued development. Karim’s comments highlight a broader sentiment within Sarawak regarding the importance of multiracial cooperation. This stance reflects Sarawak’s unique political landscape, which often prioritizes local interests over national-level ethnic politics. The minister’s remarks serve as a warning against divisive political strategies in the region.
