Bung slams GRS over ‘divide and conquer’ claim


KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin has hit out at Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) over its contention that the Madani Village Community programme was a “divide and conquer” ploy to strengthen Umno's influence in the state.

The Sabah Umno chief said the programme was aimed at helping the state government elevate the socio-economy and well-being of communities, especially in rural areas, to uplift the people out from the hardcore poverty bracket.
