BN open to political cooperation ahead of Sabah polls
PUTRAJAYA: Barisan Nasional (BN) is open to exploring political cooperation with any party in preparation for the upcoming Sabah state election, said its secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir. He said discussions are already underway, although he did not reveal the names of the parties involved. 'BN has begun a series of talks, and I can confirm that the process is ongoing,' he told reporters after attending the Karisma Pemimpin Muda Madani 2025 programme here today. Zambry stressed that both BN and Pakatan Harapan (PH) have component parties based in Sabah, and as such, an inclusive approach is essential to ensure the stability and strength of the coalition. He added that negotiations are taking place through both formal and informal channels among key stakeholders, ahead of what is expected to be a closely contested election. Yesterday, BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said initial discussions between BN and PH on seat allocations had begun and would be finalised once the Sabah state legislative assembly is officially dissolved. Meanwhile, PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar, during the 2024/2025 PKR Annual National Congress last Saturday, called for at least 13 seats to be allocated to PKR for the state polls.

No objection to Sarawak's FTES
PUTRAJAYA: The federal government has no objection to the Sarawak government's initiative to provide free higher education to its people through state-owned higher education institutions (IPTs), said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir. He said the decision was within the rights and capacity of the state government to channel educational assistance to Sarawakian students and should not be questioned by any party. 'It is an initiative made by the state government. So we have no objection to the efforts being made because the Sarawak government has the ability,' he told reporters after attending the 'Karisma Pemimpin Muda Madani 2025' programme here today. Zambry said the federal government remains open to collaborating with any state government to enhance the quality of education in the country, including in the field of higher education. 'We are also aware that in the context of the federal government, we always work with any state in efforts to further improve the quality of education, whether at the primary education level or the higher education level,' he said. Commenting further, Zambry said it was a decision by the Sarawak government based on the state's strong financial position. He said the question for further studies on the policy does not arise as long as it did not involve constitutional issues or contravene existing laws. The Sarawak Cabinet on March 20 approved a proposal paper for the implementation of the Sarawak Free Tertiary Education Scheme (FTES), which will be implemented starting next year.
