SIPITANG: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said voices urging that efforts be made to take out Sabah from Malaysia will adversely affect the spirit of cooperation, security and unity of the people.

The government did not want to hear voices raised by a small group stridently claiming there was no development in Sabah and urging for efforts to take Sabah out of Malaysia.

“The effort is opposed to the national and state constitutions.

“It is seditious in nature and if allowed to go on will affect the prevailing spirit of cooperation, security and unity in Sabah,” he said when officiating at the Sipitang International Gata Festival here yesterday.

Also present was Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman and Sipitang MP Datuk Sapawi Ahmad.

In this regard, Muhyiddin said the voices should not be tolerated and stringent action would be taken against them for trying to create such a situation. — Bernama
