Sabah State Government Support: GRS Defers Decision to KDM Party

Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has stated that the decision on whether to continue supporting or withdraw support for the Sabah State Government rests with the Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM).

Hajiji clarified that KDM is not a component of the GRS coalition. Therefore, any decision by KDM to withdraw its support is an internal matter for that party. "It's up to them. KDM is not in GRS. So there is no question of withdrawing support or not. That is their business," Hajiji said.

He emphasized that the most important aspect is the support from the KDM assemblyman representing the Paginatan constituency. This representative has already declared his support for the state government. "What is important here is that they have one elected representative. The elected representative in Paginatan has expressed support for the state government. He supports the state government. What is important is the support in the State Legislative Assembly," Hajiji added.

KDM President Priscella Peter had previously announced that her party decided to operate outside the GRS government in preparation for upcoming State and General Elections. Hajiji also commented on election preparations, stating that GRS needs to be ready for the general election, which is expected to occur within the current mandate ending next year. He stressed the importance of preparing the party machinery at all levels and engaging with the grassroots.
