Ongkili moves to unite PBS members after bruising polls

KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili (pic) has moved to soothe ruffled feathers after a particularly divisive race for his party’s deputy presidency.

Following Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam’s razor-thin victory over Datuk Joniston Bangkuai for the deputy president’s post under the non-Muslim bumiputra quota, Ongkili immediately announced that Bangkuai will assume the role of PBS information chief.
