Rahman on position of Sabah Umno:
Rahman explained that having autonomy is part of Umno Sabah’s strategies to ensure that Barisan Nasional increases its relevance in Sabah. 
KOTA BELUD: Umno Supreme Council Member Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan said Umno Sabah should not be apologetic about being a peninsula-based party.He said this in view of the overall sentiment of Sabahans who want  purely local-based parties to govern the State and fight for their rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

While Rahman acknowledged this, he said being a local-based party would be ineffective without leveraging on having a direct connection with the Federal Government.
