KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's state seats, rights and powers would be managed and wielded better by local parties and leaders than those from the peninsula, says Sabah STAR president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.
"Under the Federal Constitution, in Parliament, there is already an agreed number of seats for each state and territory so why do they (peninsula-based parties) want to come here and grab ours?” the Deputy Chief Minister asked when officiating the party’s first Luyang division office near here on Friday (March 21).
