Statement by Chrisnadia Sinam, Head of Wanita Change Advocate Movement Sabah (CAMOS)
KOTA KINABALU
The Change Advocate Movement Sabah (CAMOS) today issued a scathing condemnation of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor’s recent call for a “resounding victory” for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), describing it as a desperate attempt to entrench a regime marked by exploitation, corruption, and betrayal of Sabah’s rights.
> “A GRS victory will doom Sabahans to suffer five more years of unchecked abuse of power, shameless greed, and the blatant selling off of Sabah’s precious resources to the highest bidder,” declared Chrisnadia Sinam, Head of Wanita CAMOS.
Chrisnadia accused Hajiji’s administration of systematically plundering Sabah’s resources, dismantling key industries, and leaving the state’s economy in ruins.
> “Sabah Forest Industries has been abandoned to rot, the Pitas Prawn Farm driven to bankruptcy, and state land and mineral concessions flagrantly handed out as spoils to political cronies. This is not governance — this is daylight robbery on an industrial scale,” she said.
She highlighted the Sabah Mineral Mining (SMM) concession scandal as a grotesque example of how state assets have been weaponized to buy political loyalty through defections.
> “When mining concessions intended to serve the people are twisted into tools to bribe assemblymen, corruption reaches a new, dangerous depth — power is no longer won but bought and bartered,” she added.
Chrisnadia also condemned the corrosive “gaji YB tidak cukup makan” mentality, calling it symptomatic of a morally bankrupt leadership.
> “Leaders who brazenly justify corruption as necessary because their salary is ‘not enough’ showcase the rot at the heart of Sabah’s governance. Greed is official policy, and it is why Sabah’s wealth vanishes while ordinary citizens remain trapped in hardship,” she said vehemently.
She rejected Hajiji’s claim that GRS alone can champion Sabah’s rights, pointing to the coalition’s silence on critical constitutional issues.
> “If GRS truly cared, why did it remain silent when the Federal Government challenged the High Court ruling on Sabah’s 40% constitutional rights? Why has it not demanded the immediate fulfilment of the MA63 promises?” she challenged.
Chrisnadia further denounced GRS’ so-called “unity” as a cynical alliance of convenience among politicians clinging desperately to power.
> “GRS is united not by love for Sabah, but by greed and survival instinct. It is a coalition entrenched in self-interest, not public service,” she stated.
She concluded with a rallying cry to Sabahans—especially women and youth—to reject the corrupt cycle and demand leaders of true integrity.
> “No more selling Sabah’s lands and minerals for political favors. No more pathetic excuses about ‘insufficient salary.’ Sabah demands clean, courageous leadership that serves its people, not the corrupt elite. We refuse to sacrifice our children’s futures on the altar of political greed,” Chrisnadia said powerfully.
