Sabah polls: GRS still letting a national coalition call the shots, says Bersatu
KOTA KINABALU: Bersatu has accused Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) of drumming up empty war cries for local-based parties to govern the state, as it still needs approval from a national coalition. Sabah Bersatu chairman Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee ( pic ) said at a recent party function in Beaufort, it was clear that whatever GRS intends to do still needs the endorsement of its federal unity government partner, Pakatan Harapan.

Kiandee was referring to the Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and Sabah STAR convention last weekend, where its grassroots urged the GRS leadership to contest the coming state election on its own. "You have grassroots shouting 'go solo', but you need a decision from a national party. "How are you going to resolve Malaysia Agreement 1963 issues and other matters if you can't even make a stand for yourselves?" he asked. ALSO READ: PBS, Sabah STAR grassroots call for GRS to go solo in upcoming Sabah polls GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has said that the leaders of the eight-party GRS will discuss the question of going solo or teaming up with a national coalition when the time is right. Sabah Bersatu is expected to contest as well, but has yet to indicate how many seats it is eyeing.

Sabah Bersatu demands answers over abandoned Pulau Banggi solar projects
Published on: Saturday, May 24, 2025 Published on: Sat, May 24, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Bersatu has slammed the government over the apparent abandonment of hybrid solar projects in Pulau Banggi, despite years of promises and public funds being spent. Bersatu Sabah Women's Chief, Rahimah Majid, said the projects initiated between 2017 and 2018 under the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) headed by Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamid remain incomplete, with no clear explanation given. 'These projects were supposed to bring electricity to Pulau Tanjung Manawali, Pulau Tigabu, Kampung Kok Simpul, and Kampung Selamat, yet they lie in neglect while equipment deteriorates and villagers remain in the dark,' she said after a recent visit. Advertisement Rahimah criticised Zahid's recent remarks on Sabah's infrastructure, calling them hollow in light of these long-standing failures. 'This is more than mismanagement, it's a betrayal of the rural communities' basic right to electricity. "We demand full disclosure on project status, funding use, and contractor accountability," she said. Rahimah called for urgent government action, stressing that continued delays only prove how long Banggi residents have been sidelined. * 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?
