By: Johan Aziz Text Size: 'Warisan will stand on its own. I am confident that this party can govern with the support of the people,' Shafie said, after receiving 800 membership forms, here. KENINGAU: Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal reiterated that his Parti Warisan Sabah will only work with the people and not with other parties in the coming state election. 'Warisan will stand on its own. I am confident that this party can govern with the support of the people,' he said, after receiving 800 membership forms, here.
Advertisement He said if two previous Sabah governments managed to rule Sabah for two terms, Warisan can do so, too. 'Parti Jelata Rakyat Sabah (Berjaya) led by Tan Sri Harris Salleh and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) led by Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan could rule for 10 years even though solo previously. 'We need to work with the people, listen to the people. If we join a coalition, our government will have many policies, many plans, many implementations that will depend on the needs of the coalition, not the needs of the people. Shafie said based on his experience, coalitions do not last long. He also said Warisan would continue to struggle for adherence to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) if the party is given the mandate. He claimed that Warisan was the first to bring the MA63 issue to Parliament in 2019 through the late VK Liew to change what is contained in article 2 and article 1 regarding the position of Sabah and Sarawak. * 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?

No official PBS candidate yet
Published on: Saturday, August 02, 2025 Published on: Sat, Aug 02, 2025 Text Size: Julita said any statement made without that authority is 'false and misleading'. Kota Kinabalu: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has not endorsed any individual as a candidate for the coming state election, said its Secretary-General Datuk Julita Majungki. She said any claim suggesting otherwise does not reflect the party's official position. 'The process of identifying and finalising potential candidates is still ongoing and will be decided collectively by the PBS leadership. 'All official announcements will only be made through proper party channels and must be quoted directly from the acting president Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam,' she said in a statement, on Wednesday. Julita said any statement made without that authority is 'false and misleading'. She also urged all PBS divisions and branches to stay focused on preparing for the state election and continue strengthening grassroots machinery. 'We call on the media and public to verify information with the party's official sources to avoid confusion and misinformation,' she said. On cooperation with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), Julita affirmed PBS' agreement with GRS Chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor's statement that the coalition would work with Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the state election. 'This is based on the understanding that GRS will be the dominant partner, as discussed and agreed during meetings between the GRS Chairman and the presidents of component parties, including our acting president,' she said. Julita also clarified that Dr Joachim was unable to attend the recent PGRS annual general meeting as he was officiating the simultaneous opening of five PBS division AGMs in Beaufort. 'Nonetheless, PBS was represented by senior leaders including Deputy Presidents Datuk Seri Jahid Jahim, Datuk Seri Dr Yee Moh Chai and myself,' she 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?
