Sangkar’s appointment unlikely to change Pakatan’s influence in Sabah, says analyst

KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s choice of little-known state divisional leader Datuk Sangkar Rasam to head Sabah PKR is unlikely to change the fortunes of the national opposition in the state, says an analyst.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah senior lecturer Dr Romzi Ationg said the PKR president’s pick of the political lightweight could be viewed as a head-scratcher amid the party’s quest to become a significant force in state politics.
