Tanjung Aru PGRS confident of winning three seats
Published on: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 22, 2025 By: Iskandar Dzulkifli Text Size: PGRS Tanjung Aru Division Chief Datuk Awang Ahmad Sah Sahari said this confidence is based on the current situation of strong support for local parties. Kota Kinabalu: Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) will ensure Tanjung Aru, Tanjung Keramat and Petagas are won by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) in the coming 17th state election (PRN17). PGRS Tanjung Aru Division Chief Datuk Awang Ahmad Sah Sahari said this confidence is based on the current situation of strong support for local parties. According to him, the situation also reflects the instability within Sabah Umno, particularly the Putatan Division, which had previously been confident in its ability to reclaim all three seats in the coming 17th state election (PRN17). 'This sentiment is also a clear message of the Sabah people's rejection of external parties, particularly Umno, while expressing their support for GRS as a coalition of local parties. 'This situation is evident from the survey we conducted, particularly in Petagas, Tanjung Aru and Tanjung Keramat, which showed that the majority of the people reject national parties and instead support GRS.' 'Support from the youth, particularly new and undecided voters, largely favours GRS and local leadership to continue leading Sabah after the 17th state election (PRN17).' 'For the people, only local parties like GRS truly understand the heartbeat of Sabah's citizens,' he said when met at the Tanjung Aru Open Fut8 Football Championship organised by the PGRS Tanjung Aru Division here on July 20. He was commenting on remarks by Umno Putatan Division Chief, Jeffrey Nor Mohamad, who had earlier expressed confidence in capturing all three seats in PRN17. He said that such confidence was understandable, as the three seats previously belonged to Umno, particularly Petagas, which was once a stronghold of Barisan Nasional (BN). Awang, who is also Petagas Assemblyman, said the focus on safeguarding the interests and welfare of the people through the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) agenda had also contributed to this public support. He said under the leadership of the Chief Minister and GRS Chairman, Datuk Seri Hajiji Haji Noor, various assistance programmes had been provided in education, social welfare and development. 'Under the SMJ agenda, the GRS government has provided substantial assistance and incentives to the people. 'In education alone, there are numerous free initiatives for Sabah's children that have never been implemented by previous governments, including the SMJ housing aid, Syukur programme and many others.' 'All these factors contribute to the public's support for GRS, particularly in Petagas, Tanjung Aru and Tanjung Keramat, thereby securing the seats for GRS in the coming 17th state election,' he said. * 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?

On political cooperation, Hajiji confirmed that Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) had held several discussions with Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also PH Chairman. 'Yes, we've had several discussions, including with the Prime Minister. I believe we will come to a final decision. We will announce it when the time is right. 'There will definitely be formal discussions. We want to continue the cooperation between GRS and PH, the current State Government,' he added. Hajiji emphasised that GRS would contest the majority of seats in the coming election, while considering local aspirations in determining candidate placements and seat allocations. 'Of course (GRS will contest the majority). But we also want to listen to local aspirations. We will make the best decision for Sabah because political stability is crucial. 'It's not just about winning the election, but also about ensuring post-election political stability. Only then can we plan and develop our State,' he said. * 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?
