PETALING JAYA: Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili could have moved up the government administration ladder 10 years ago had he accepted offers to leave Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and join the Barisan Nasional. 

However, unlike many PBS leaders who did so shortly after the 1994 state elections – which resulted in the party’s short-lived victory and rule – and became federal and state ministers, Dr Ongkili decided to stick with PBS.
