PETALING JAYA: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s (Bersatu) attempt to unseat four Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) MPs is on slippery ground, say lawyers.

A lawyer familiar with the matter told The Star that the six Sabah Bersatu candidates had actually joined GRS as direct members in October and then contested the 15th General Election (GE15) on a GRS ticket, of which four of them later won.
