Sabah: A Circus Of Corruption And Power Struggles

A widening scandal over mining license bribes in Sabah has rocked the state’s political establishment, with 15 ruling-coalition politicians implicated since 2023. Professor James Chin of the University of Tasmania talks about the implications for Sabah’s political stability, the federal-state power dynamic, and how voter sentiment may shift ahead of the next election.
