Christina Liew appointed Sabah PKR adviser
The new advisers in the Sabah PKR leadership council are Christina Liew and Abdul Rahman Yakub. PETALING JAYA : Former Sabah deputy chief minister Christina Liew has been appointed as an adviser in the Sabah PKR leadership council. The party also named former Sabah PKR chairman Sangkar Rasam as one of the council's three vice-chairmen, next to Azmi Datu Tambuyung and Amin Mem. Abdul Rahman Yakub was given the second adviser's post in the council, Sabah PKR said in a statement today. The other key appointments are Rupinah Pangeran as Sabah PKR Wanita chief, Zaidi Jatil as youth chief, Abdul Razak Jamil as secretary, Farid Sainuri as information chief, Stefly Said as treasurer, Guntur Sangkar as communications director and Grace Lee as organising secretary. The party said it has begun laying the groundwork for the next state election, which must be held by the end of the year. 'These activities, such as voter outreach and surveys in key constituencies, are not just to measure voter support, but also to listen to the people's concerns and understand the pulse on the ground,' Farid said. Touching on the recent anti-corruption protest in Kota Kinabalu which saw the burning of a caricature of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Farid said Sabah PKR respected the right to freedom of speech as part of a healthy democracy. 'Students, youth and civil society are free to raise issues such as the water supply crisis, poor management of state resources and leakages in public projects. 'However, we strongly believe burning the prime minister's caricature was excessive and has no relevance to the people's collective effort to reject corruption in Sabah or the country,' he said.
