New deal for Malaysia should be done. More powers should be given to state governments aside from just Sabah and Sarawak.

State governments should be allowed to levy sales tax, start to manage health, education and public transport system.

(Kuasa autonomi kerajaan negeri sepatutnya dipertingkat, dengan memberi kuasa percukaian kepada kerajaan negeri).

Constitution amendment should be done, to put this clause, that 1/3 of development budget, must be in Sabah and Sarawak.

(Perlembagaan perlu dipinda, untuk memasukkan syarat seperti 1/3 of belanja pembangunan adalah untuk Sabah dan Sarawak)

India dan Amerika Syarikat tetap teguh walaupun kerajaan negeri-negeri mereka lebih berkuasa daripada kerajaan negeri-negeri di Malaysia. Indonesia pun lebih stabil (selepas kekacauan pasca era Suharto dan di Aceh) setelah mereka memberi lebih kuasa kepada pemerintah kabupaten (daerah di Indonesia). Australia pun teguh, walaupun kerajaan negeri lebih berkuasa. Switzerland pun teguh walaupun kerajaan wilayah lebih berkuasa.

Adalah tidak logik, hal-hal seperti pengangkutan awam ditentukan oleh SPAD (badan kerajaan pusat) semata-mata walhal kerajaan negeri lebih peka dengan keadaan di negeri masing-masing.

Sabah and Sarawak will always be part of Malaysia, and as a Sabahan, there are reasons why it should be like that.

However, there are changes need to be made (most of which more than just Sabah and Sarawak, but also state governments in peninsular).

Among which:

- Federal and state responsibility should be revised, so that state governments gain additional powers

- Funding mechanism (Sabah and Sarawak development budget must be 1/3 of national development budget)

- Public transport and education should be fall under state governments
