GRS Reaffirms Support For MADANI Government- Hajiji
KOTA KINABALU, July 27 (Bernama) -- Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) reaffirms its support for the MADANI Government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, says its chairman, Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. Hajiji, who is also the Chief Minister, said this was because many of Sabah's demands under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) had been approved and implemented for the benefit of the people, leaving no reason for GRS not to support the MADANI Government. 'I would like to reiterate that GRS remains supportive of the Prime Minister. Many of our initiatives and demands under MA63 have been approved by him. bootstrap slideshow 'Previously, it was very difficult to devolve powers or approve our requests... if the MADANI Government is good for our state, why wouldn't we support it?' he said here tonight. Hajiji, who is also president of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat), said this in his winding-up speech before adjourning the Gagasan Rakyat Annual General Assembly. Hajiji further explained that GRS decided to shift its support to the MADANI Government after the previous administration was said to have expressed dislike for the term 'Borneo Bloc'. bootstrap slideshow 'I was shocked by those remarks... I reflected on it for a long time and eventually lost heart in them. After much consideration, I made the decision (to support the MADANI Government),' he said. Meanwhile, Hajiji told reporters that he would also be attending the Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation in Jakarta, which, among others, would discuss matters concerning the Sulawesi Sea. -- BERNAMA

Malaysia-Indonesia border talks: Sabah, Sarawak leaders to join delegation
Published on: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 22, 2025 By: TV Sarawak Text Size: KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor will join Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's delegation for the Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation in Jakarta on July 29. Key discussions will include the Sulawesi Sea maritime boundary. Anwar said their participation is essential, as any border agreement must be approved by the Sabah and Sarawak governments. He reaffirmed his practice of involving both state leaders in major bilateral talks. Responding to a question about the 2002 ICJ ruling on Ligitan and Sipadan, Anwar said the matter is unrelated to ongoing Sulawesi Sea negotiations, which remain unresolved. He noted that the 2023 Sulawesi Sea Treaty includes a non-disclosure clause and stressed that talks with Indonesia, led by President Prabowo Subianto, aim for compromise while preserving sovereignty and friendly ties. Anwar said Malaysia remains committed to resolving the issue through dialogue, without straining military or diplomatic relations. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
