KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili’s decision to hand over the party leadership to his deputy Datuk Seri Joachim Gunsalam is a sensible move, says Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

"As an ex-president of PBS, I believe a transition is good and sensible and will have an impact for the party to move forward," he told reporters when asked to comment on Ongkili's decision.
