GRS to discuss election preparation soon - Hajiji
Hajiji and guests inspecting the sacrificial cows handed over to recipients at the Bajau Samah Cultural Centre in Kampung Lok Batik, Tuaran on Thursday. TUARAN (June 5): The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Supreme Council will be meeting soon to chart their direction for the 17th state election (PRN17), said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor. Hajiji said the meeting would discuss on potential partners, seat allocations and other relevant matters. He disclosed this after handing over a contribution of 200 cows for the Hari Raya Aidiladha sacrificial rites at the Sabah Bajau Samah Cultural Centre in Kampung Lok Batik on Thursday. The distribution of the cows was made to representatives of mosques and suraus within the Tuaran parliamentary constituency, as well as to non-governmental organisations (NGOs), state and district agencies. When asked to comment on the recent statement by Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin that Umno Sabah would only consider cooperation with GRS after the PRN17, Hajiji, who is also GRS chairman, responded that it was Bung's personal view. 'GRS has not made any decisions yet,' he said. Hajiji said the act of qurban (sacrifice) was not only a symbol of obedience to Allah SWT, but also a powerful way to strengthen unity and compassion within the Muslim community. 'The ibadah qurban carries a profound message in fostering unity and mutual support among Muslims. Hari Raya Aidiladha is not merely a celebration, but a time to reflect on the values of sacrifice, sincerity and social concern,' he said. Also present at the event were Minister of Rural Development Datuk Jahid Jahim, Pantai Dalit assemblyman Datuk Jasnih Daya and senior officials from both state and federal departments.

Umno told to look in mirror before accusing others of betrayal
Nizam KOTA KINABALU (June 4): If one wishes to speak of dignity and betrayal, Umno should first take a hard look at its own history, said Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan. The Assistant Minister to the Sabah Chief Minister said that he read with interest the statement by the Umno Kota Kinabalu Division chief and Umno Women's Exco member, Musliati Moslimin, who claimed that Umno is not a 'political tool,' not a 'script filler,' and not a 'buyer of false promises.' 'Ironically, this statement comes from a party with a long history of scripting flawed political narratives, including in Sabah,' said Nizam, who is also Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) information chief. 'The reality is, during the 2020 Sabah state election (PRN), history clearly records who broke agreements and moral principles. Just two days before nomination day, Umno and Barisan Nasional had agreed to contest 27 seats. Yet, when the time came, they contested 41 seats — a move that not only violated mutual understanding but also created confusion and early fractures within the coalition,' he reminded. Nizam also said that Umno also still refuses to accept the fact that in a coalition of political parties, the party with the highest number of seats holds the priority to lead. 'The GRS coalition, which Musliati dismisses as 'splinter parties,' won the highest number of seats and thus rightfully held the prerogative to choose the Chief Minister of Sabah. This is not betrayal — it is the foundation of true democracy.' More surprising is that Musliati makes no mention of the 'Langkah Kinabalu' incident in January 2023, in which several Umno leaders, including Datuk Bung Moktar Radin, were involved in an attempt to topple the existing government, he said. He added that the actions of Bung Moktar and several Umno leaders not only threatened state stability but gambled with the people's mandate. 'Their removal from the Cabinet and positions in government agencies was the Chief Minister's prerogative, made in the interest of safeguarding the state's stability.' He said that Umno Sabah must also come to terms with the fact that they are no longer the 'big brother' of politics. 'Nationally, they continue to lose public support, and in Sabah, the people are tired of the same old script — just with different actors, but the same plot,' said Nizam. He also said that the GRS government today chooses to look forward, forging strategic cooperation with Pakatan Harapan to ensure post-GE15 stability and prepare for the upcoming Sabah state election. 'Ultimately, real power lies not in the hands of any individual, party, or propaganda — but in the hands of the people. Let the people of Sabah decide who is truly working for them, and who merely excels at political theatre.' Musliati has described the experience of working with GRS as a betrayal of the trust and sacrifices made by Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN) since the 2020 Sabah state election. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Musliati stressed that the state government formed after the 2020 polls was not the result of any one party's strength, but rather a coalition comprising several components, including Bersatu, PBS, STAR, and most importantly, Umno-BN. She asserted that Umno had not only contributed the highest number of seats to GRS at the time, but also provided vital election machinery, resources and grassroots support which formed the backbone of the coalition. 'Bersatu, at that time, was still in its infancy and relied heavily on the groundwork that Umno had established over the years. Yet silently, the hand extended in friendship was met with poison,' she said. Musliati also revealed that Umno had been sabotaged by independent candidates allegedly sponsored by certain quarters within GRS. Despite this, Umno still managed to secure 14 seats, more than Bersatu's 11. She went on to describe Umno's decision to give way to Datuk Seri Pangllima Hajiji Noor to become Chief Minister as a sacrifice made in the interest of state stability, even though Umno had a stronger claim to the post based on the number of seats won.

War of words between GRS, Sabah BN hots up with allegations of betrayal, broken promises
KOTA KINABALU: The war of words between one-time partners Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Barisan Nasional heats up over accusations of broken promises, disloyalty and betrayal. It started when Sabah Umno chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, on Tuesday (June 3), reiterated his unwillingness to work with GRS due to a "dark and bitter" history. He said Barisan must be extra cautious and assess GRS' sincerity before even considering working with them in the 17th state election (PRN), which can be called anytime soon. 'There's an old saying: don't get bitten by the same snake twice,' he said. However, he did not dismiss the possibility of both coalitions working together post election, but stressed that this matter can only be evaluated after the polls. His statement comes after Kota Kinabalu Umno chief Mosliati Muslimin said there was no longer room for political cooperation with GRS or Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) after "betrayals and broken promises". She claimed these betrayals started even during the 2020 state election in the form of vote-splitting tactics where independent candidates were placed in seats meant for BN candidates. She also said that Bung and Barisan had made compromises along the way, which allowed GRS to head the current state government. GRS information chief Datuk Joniston Bangkuai hit back at Bung, calling his latest remarks arrogant and disconnected from Sabah's political reality. He said Bung was the last person who should talk about loyalty or sincerity as Bung had tried to bring down the very government he was part of, just to serve his own ambition. He dismissed Bung's claim that GRS had betrayed Barisan, describing it as a clear attempt to twist the narrative and deflect from his own actions. 'It is Bung who conspired with Warisan and PKDM in January 2023 to topple the government led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor,' said Bangkuai. 'He wasn't betrayed, he was the one betraying. Even while sitting in the state Cabinet, he had no respect for his colleagues in the state government led by Hajiji as Chief Minister,' he said. He stressed that GRS has never been reliant on Umno and was fully prepared to face the upcoming state election independently while warning Bung to stop his arrogance by insinuating that GRS hard up enough to work with Umno-BN. Bangkuai also pointed out that during the political crisis, several Umno assemblymen refused to support Bung's move and instead threw their support for Hajiji, alongside Pakatan Harapan. 'If anyone needs to reflect, it's Bung. Why did even your own colleagues abandon your 'Langkah Kinabalu'? Why did PH support Hajiji, not you? The answer is obvious because the trust wasn't with you,' he said. Joniston, who is also PBS information chief, reiterated that his party would never forget the insult hurled by Bung when he once labelled PBS as "melukut di tepi gantang" (a party that is powerless and useless). 'You showed no respect for PBS or your allies, and now you expect cooperation? Don't be surprised if Sabahans continue to reject Umno like they did in other states across the Peninsula. 'Sabah isn't your political lifeline. Don't treat this state as your fallback plan,' he said, stressing that GRS is now focused on what mattered - unity, stability, and delivering for the people. Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) information chief Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan also fired back at Barisan, bringing up the 2020 state elections where Barisan allegedly had agreed to only contest in 27 seats, but fielded 41 candidates on nomination day. 'Barisan must remember they are no longer the 'big boys' in politics. Nationally, their influence has dwindled,' he said. He said for GRS and Gagasan Rakyat, the focus now was to work for the people and state as they prepare for the coming state elections. Libaran assemblyman Datuk Suhaimi Nasir, who is also Libaran Umno chief, meanwhile, reminded Bangkuai how his political career started - during Barisan's era. He said Bangkuai and PBS should not talk about loyalty when history clearly showed otherwise. 'PBS left Barisan a day before the 1990 election and returned to Barisan in 2002, before leaving again in 2018 after Barisan lost in the state election,' he said, adding that PBS were opportunists, seeking a safe space instead of fighting for principles and rights. 'Today you say that you reject Barisan-Umno based on principles, but in the past, you stood in the front line to welcome Barisan when they won elections,' Suhaimi said. He also advised Bangkuai and his party members to not take "loyalty" as a joke because if they were loyalists, they would not have left and returned repeatedly over the years.
