Will history repeat itself in Sandakan?

Hopeful return: PBS president Dr Maximus announcing the party

AFTER two decades of absence, the Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) symbol is making a comeback in the Sandakan by-election. The last time the PBS symbol – a handshake with the Sabah map in the background – was used by the multiracial Sabah-based party was in GE10 in 1999.

That time PBS was in the opposition.
