KOTA KINABALU: Sabah rights legal activist Datuk Roger Chin, who was appointed a nominated assemblyman on Tuesday (Dec 2), vowed to remain apolitical in his role with the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) state government led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
Chin said he accepted the appointment on the express condition that he would not be required to join any political party, and that he would serve solely in a professional legal capacity, particularly on matters related to Sabah’s rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) and the state’s claim for the 40% revenue entitlement.
