He said BERSATU as a new political platform, brings an inclusive political approach for all communities in Sabah especially the indigenous community.
“Since its inception, BERSATU has given recognition to the indigenous community in Sabah and it is enshrined within the party constitution itself.
This makes BERSATU a national-based party which has legally placed the Sabah indigenous people at the most appropriate position in lined with the spirit and principles of the Federal and Sabah State Constitutions,” he said.
Hajiji, who is also Sulaman State Assemblyman, said the BERSATU Constitution has put in written its commitment to protect the special position of Sabah natives, in lined with the Federal Constitution, as part of the purposes and objectives of the party struggles.-pr/BNN
