PETALING JAYA: Warisan president Shafie Apdal has urged Sabahans to vote for “significant political change” in the state assembly elections this year, which he predicts will be a turning point for the state.
Shafie urged voters to back his party at the polls, expressing confidence that Warisan would be able to emulate Berjaya and Parti Bersatu Sabah in being able to independently govern Sabah.
“There is no reason why Warisan cannot achieve the same if the people of Sabah come together to vote for change,” the former chief minister said, according to The Borneo Post.
The current state government was formed by a coalition of several parties, as were previous governments.
The Warisan president said the party rejects “extremist politics” and instead values harmony and moderation, citing the party’s multi-ethnic makeup.
“If I wanted to pursue Malay-based or religious-based politics, I could have stayed in Umno or joined PAS. Instead, I established Warisan for all Sabahans,” he added.
Shafie also vowed to reinstate the state education and health ministries if he were to become chief minister.
He had set up the two ministries when he was chief minister from 2018 to 2020 but they were abolished by the Hajiji Noor-led government which took over in September 2020.
Health matters came under the purview of the state local government and housing ministry and education under the science, technology and innovation ministry. - FMT
