Move to topple GRS govt falls short

KOTA KINABALU: A move to topple the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor (pic) seems to have fizzled out. It is learned that the numbers needed for a simple majority – 40 out of the 79 seats in the state assembly – remains elusive.

Speculation has been rife over the past 48 hours that Sabah Barisan Nasional was pulling its support out of the GRS state government with the intention of forming a coalition government with Parti Warisan.
