KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Ewon Benedick has hit back at critics who claimed Upko and Sabah Pakatan Harapan backed down from pursuing Sabah rights after dropping a suit over states rights against Putrajaya on state entitlements.
"All I can say is we succeeded where others have failed. The time to fight for our rights is when we are in the Cabinet, not out of it," said the Upko president on Friday (Sept 29) when asked about criticism levelled at his party and Sabah Pakatan after the originating summons (OS) was withdrawn earlier this month.
