Yong's statement on contesting all 73 Sabah seats is his personal view, says GRS info chief


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee's statement calling for the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition to contest in all 73 Sabah state constituencies in the next state election is his personal view, says Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan (pic).

The Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah information chief said that while the party respected Yong's view, it did not represent the collective view of the GRS coalition.

He said matters related to the Sabah state assembly seats had not yet been discussed by the top leadership of GRS because the focus of the state government at the moment was to continue implementing all the development agenda for the state and the people of Sabah in line with the Sabah Maju Jaya Roadmap.

"We appreciate and are grateful for the cooperation provided by the leaders of Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH), especially during the 'Langkah Kinabalu' crisis earlier this year, which was triggered by Warisan and some Sabah Umno leaders.

"The Sabah government under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor is stable and functioning well with the support of all parties within GRS and Sabah PH,” he said in a statement late Monday (Aug 14) night. - Bernama
