Bornean states won't lose bargaining power with fixed parliament term, says Tangau


KOTA KINABALU: The proposal for a Fixed Term Parliament Act (FTPA) will benefit the Bornean states as they would not have to worry about political domination by certain coalitions, says Tuaran MP Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau.

He dismissed as "misinformation" suggestions that such a law might see Sabah and Sarawak lose their bargaining power as a new hegemonic coalition similar to Barisan Nasional would emerge.
