PBS rejects BN tie-up, backs GRS for Sabah polls, says acting party president
KOTA KINABALU, June 26 — Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has rejected political cooperation with Barisan Nasional (BN) in the upcoming 17th Sabah state election.
PBS acting president Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam said the decision was made after the majority of the party's Supreme Council (AMT) members disagreed with collaborating with BN in the coming state election.
Dr Joachim said PBS also reiterated its stance to remain loyal to the ruling coalition, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), for the upcoming polls.
'Our position is clear. PBS will continue working within the GRS coalition and remains committed to this political cooperation ahead of the state election.
'PBS also reaffirms its commitment to strengthening ties and collaboration with GRS component party Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Sabah Star), led by Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan,' he said in a statement today.
The current five-year term of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly will expire on November 11. — Bernama

Sabah PKR ‘ready for any possibility'
Published on: Monday, June 30, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 30, 2025 By: Abbey Junior Text Size: Mustapha said party machinery across Sabah has been told to stay alert and prepare for any possibility. - Abbey Junior/Daily Express Kota Kinabalu: Sabah PKR chief Datuk Mustapha Sakmud believes an unreleased video allegedly involving Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) leaders, if true, could change the state's political landscape. 'We thought that was it… but when this latest incident happened, we were quite shocked. We are now analysing its impact. 'I believe this will, to some extent, change the political landscape in the state,' he said, after chairing the party's state leadership council (Majlis Pimpinan Negeri) meeting Sunday. A news portal reported that a new video — allegedly involving leaders from GRS component parties Star and PBS — has been recorded but not yet made public. The footage is said to show discussions on political support and payments amounting to several million ringgit. Mustapha said party machinery across Sabah has been told to stay alert and prepare for any possibility. 'We need to be ready for any possibility that may happen because of this latest video incident,' he said. On possible cooperation with other parties, he said formal talks with GRS have not started, but PKR is open to it. 'GRS also wants to work with Pakatan Harapan and we welcome that. I think it's time for us to start discussions — maybe over coffee first,' he said. Meanwhile, negotiations with Barisan Nasional (BN) are almost complete. 'We've met with BN many times already and there's only about 5pc left to resolve,' he said. He also said culaan — ground-level voter profiling — is being carried out to understand the level of support in different areas. 'Through these culaan activities, at the very least, we'll know the level of voter support… and that will become our basis when negotiating with any party that wants to work with us.' During the meeting, Sabah PKR also announced its new state leadership line-up. Mustapha remains as chairman, with Datuk Peto Galim as deputy and state election director. Former Sabah PKR chief Datuk Christina Liew has been appointed party adviser, alongside Abdul Rahman Yakub. Vice-chairmen are Datuk Sangkar Rasam, Azmi Datu Tambuyung and Mohd Amin Mem. Datin Rupinah Pangeran and Zaidi Jatil continue as the heads of the women and youth wings respectively. Other appointments include Abdul Razak Jamil as secretary and co-election director, Stefly Said as treasurer, Ahmad Farid Sainuri as information chief, Mohd Guntur Sangkar as communications director, Grace Lee as organising secretary, and Ag. Husaini Ag.

UK's new envoy to Malaysia to prioritise cooperation in semiconductor sector
KUALA LUMPUR: The United Kingdom's new High Commissioner to Malaysia, Ajay Sharma, has made strengthening bilateral cooperation a key priority, with a particular focus on the fast-growing semiconductor sector and the development of integrated chip design and advanced manufacturing. He said the British government is keen to strengthen linkages and exchange ideas to increase the value chain in both countries in the semiconductor industry and the manufacture of high-end chips. This aligns with Malaysia's ambitions under the National Semiconductor Strategy to transition from outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing to high-end manufacturing and niche capabilities such as integrated circuit design. 'We have seen a Malaysian company invest in a new compound semiconductor facility in Wales,' he said, referring to SMD Semiconductor, a Sarawak state-owned firm that recently opened a research and development innovation hub in Newport, an industrial port city in Wales. 'Therefore, I really want to work with Malaysia on the semiconductor industry. Malaysia is already involved in different parts of the value chain, and we can complement and learn from each other,' he told Bernama after appearing on Bernama TV's The Nation programme recently. Sharma, who succeeded Ailsa Terry, previously served in Iran, Qatar, Turkey, Moscow and Paris. He also sees potential for a UK-Malaysia partnership in offering specialised courses on semiconductors and chip design in British universities, where a significant number of Malaysian students pursue higher education. 'We can also collaborate with local universities to bring Malaysian talent to the UK and set up courses here. Then we could see these courses develop and expand to Malaysia as well,' he said. He also highlighted clean energy as an area for increased bilateral cooperation, in which Malaysia has immense potential and where Britain could play a supporting role. 'Malaysia has huge natural resources, immense opportunities in clean energy and is working on significant development on carbon capture, green tech and energy transition. Malaysia also has creative and innovative technologies which can be used in our universities, labs and expanded into businesses. 'This interests me to try to get more investments from both countries in this sector as well,' said Sharma. Sharma said he is keen to boost two-way investments, especially Malaysian investments in the UK, citing successful ventures such as the Battersea Power Station redevelopment, YTL's Brabazon project in Bristol, and contributions in sectors ranging from water utilities like Wessex Water to power generation. At the same time, he aims to raise awareness among UK companies about business opportunities in Malaysia. 'Companies in the UK do not know much about the opportunities here in Malaysia, and we need to raise the profile to generate business interest. 'So, that is a key area that I would like to fix under my leadership,' said Sharma, who stressed this is even more important with Malaysia being a key market for economic growth in the Asean region. With UK-Malaysia trade worth £6 billion (RM34.8 billion), the potential for increased trade is huge. 'We should be doing much more in many areas, such as tech development, which affects everything from healthcare to life sciences to defence manufacturing. We need to work on these and not be limited to areas we have focused on in the past,' said Sharma. He said the UK expects vast new opportunities following its accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) on Dec 15 last year, becoming the first European nation to join the pact. The CPTPP now includes Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. With a combined population of 580 million and accounting for 15.6% of global gross domestic product, the CPTPP is the world's fourth-largest free trade bloc. Sharma noted that the global trading system is under considerable strain, with questions raised about the World Trade Organisation's ability to manage challenges, even before the protectionist measures introduced by the United States. 'We really need to find ways to ensure cooperation between our countries to support free trade flows and growth, which is the main reason we were keen to join the CPTPP. 'We must ensure the trade administration process is as simple as possible. I wouldn't want people to miss out on a great trade arrangement simply because the process for applying for exemptions, etc, is too complicated or too onerous,' he said. The UK government, he added, is working closely with businesses to help them take full advantage of the CPTPP, including through cost savings and improved market access. 'As a government, we are working with businesses to make sure they take advantage of these (CPTPP) opportunities,' he said. – Bernama

PH-BN not Malayan-only coalitions, include Sabah parties
KUALA LUMPUR: UMNO Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan has dismissed claims that Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) are exclusively Malayan coalitions, emphasising their inclusion of Sabah-based parties. Speaking to Bernama, he highlighted the presence of Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) in BN and the United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) in PH as proof of their local representation. Ahmad stressed that UMNO, after over 30 years in Sabah, should no longer be viewed as an 'outside party' but as an integral part of the state's political landscape. He made these remarks while officiating the 37th Selayang UMNO Division Wanita Delegates' Meeting 2025 at the Event Space, Jalan Melati, Kuang Sungai Buloh. As UMNO War Room Secretariat chief, Ahmad is tasked with strengthening the party's election machinery in Sabah alongside Sabah UMNO Liaison secretary Datuk Jafry Ariffin. He explained that the war room's role extends beyond data collection, uniting party wings—Women, Youth, Puteri, and the information team—to enhance grassroots operations. 'I am confident that with this approach, UMNO, which previously won 14 seats, can increase its number of seats and achieve success in the upcoming state election,' he said.
