‘A clear conscience is the best pillow,’ says SAPP president after GRS split


SAPP president Datuk Yong Teck Lee celebrating his birthday with party veterans, leaders, members and staff at the party’s headquarters in Kota Kinabalu on Friday (Oct 3).

KOTA KINABALU: Peace of mind is the softest cushion one can rest on, says Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee, who appeared light-hearted and relaxed as he celebrated his birthday on Friday (Oct 3).

“Last night I slept very well,” Yong said, drawing laughter from party members gathered at the SAPP headquarters here.

Quoting a saying he read in an English newspaper earlier that day — “a clear conscience is the best pillow” — Yong said the phrase resonated deeply with him.

The birthday gathering, attended by party veterans, senior leaders, members and staff, took place in a warm and informal atmosphere.

Just a day earlier, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) had announced its decision to part ways with Sabah Star and SAPP.

Yong’s tone suggested that the split had brought him a sense of ease, adding that SAPP would reveal its next course of action after the party’s supreme council meeting on Saturday (Oct 4).
