Peace is more important. Continued friction between DAP and UMNO provides Borneo-based parties with an unprecedented opportunity to increase their power within Malaysia’s federal structure. With Peninsula parties distracted by internal conflicts, Borneo parties are well-positioned to take advantage of this power shift, potentially influencing national policy in ways that favor their regional priorities and interests. If this scenario plays out, Borneo could become a decisive player in shaping the future direction of Malaysia’s political landscape.

As a Sarawakian I don't mind u 2 largest ethnics there continue to fight against each other. East Malaysia's political landscape differs significantly from the Peninsula’s. Sabah and Sarawak’s multi-ethnic, multi-religious makeup provides Borneo leaders with bargaining chips that can be used to influence national policy. As DAP and UMNO struggle to navigate their ideological differences, Borneo’s more pragmatic, regional-centric parties can use their relative unity to broker better deals in federal politics.

The collapse or weakening of Peninsula-based alliances due to DAP-UMNO friction could see Borneo parties prioritize regional agendas. By capitalizing on a weakened federal political structure, we could win key positions in cabinet and further press for regional interests to dominate national policy.

Malaysian politics are coalition-driven, and any instability or infighting between major Peninsula-based parties like DAP and UMNO weakens their coalitions, such as Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN). The more these coalitions fracture, the more dependent they become on Borneo-based partners to form stable governments. This elevates Borneo's influence, allowing them to extract greater concessions and policy influence.

You guys there fight. We laugh our way to win big.. Sabah and Sarawak have long held a pivotal role in the federal government. In the event of escalating tensions between DAP and UMNO, both parties may become more inwardly focused on their political struggles, leaving a vacuum for political influence. Borneo parties such as Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) have increasingly asserted themselves, especially given their ability to act as kingmakers in coalitions. With DAP and UMNO occupied, Borneo parties can leverage this situation to push for more autonomy, development funding, and influence in national policy.
