Grs Bn Cooperation To Choose Federal Leaders To Champion Sabah S Interests

---

 


The cooperation momentum between Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and BN should continue in the 15th general election (GE15) to ensure that the 25 parliamentarians from Sabah can champion the state’s interests at the federal level.
Chief Minister Hajiji Noor, who is also the GRS chairperson, described GE15 as very important in choosing leaders who could really champion Sabah.
“Sabah as a priority must become a reality in our struggle as the GE15 is no easy game, but a big feat of choosing the national leaders to rule the country,” said Hajiji (above), who is also Sabah Bersatu chief and the party’s Tuaran division head.
He was officiating at the Bersatu Tuaran division meeting 2022 at Dewan Seri Sulaman today.
Also present at the meeting were GRS component party leaders, including Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Yong Teck Lee, United Sabah National Organisation (Usno) president Pandikar Amin Mulia, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) deputy president Robert Tawik and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) information chief Joniston Bangkuai.
Hajiji said that GRS-BN cooperation was what the people wanted and translated into a positive outcome for the people through the 16th Sabah state election in 2020, hence the good cooperation should continue in GE15.
“We hold on to this agreement as in the coming election (GE15), we convey the wish of both components (GRS and BN) that we agree in principle to face the opposition in this election,” he said.
Later when met by reporters, Hajiji said GRS was keen to contest the Tuaran parliamentary seat and this would be discussed at the GRS supreme council meeting to be held tonight.
“We will also quietly convey the matter during the discussion with BN but we have to make it official and issue the official statement on this when the time comes,” he added.
Asked whether he would be the GRS candidate for the Tuaran parliamentary seat in GE15, Hajiji only smiled and said: “I’m not interested lah.”
