Kinabatangan, Lamag results prove cooperation between national, local parties can work, says Sabah Umno chief

“Although the opposition (Warisan) attempted to play on sentiments that Barisan is a peninsula-based party, the reality is that Barisan’s cooperation with local parties has formed a stable Sabah state government, thereby increasing public confidence in Barisan,” the Sabah Umno chairman said.
