Published on: Saturday, May 24, 2025 Published on: Sat, May 24, 2025 By: Noor Zafira Zayn Text Size: Mohammad Bahrin when met by reporters. KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Mohammad Bahrin Abd Karim, Chief of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) Likas, emphasized the need for all parties to be open-minded and collaborate with national parties to develop Sabah without sidelining the rights of Sabahans. He supports forming consensus within the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), although no final decision has been made yet. A proposal for GRS to contest solo in the upcoming state election (PRN-17) was based on grassroots feedback from social media. Gagasan Rakyat Likas has 22 branches with 2,500 members, focusing on recruiting quality members who can contribute actively. Voter demographics in Likas show a majority of Chinese voters, making cooperation with government parties logical. Bahrin also predicts a rise in independent candidates in PRN-17, with hardworking individuals likely to gain more support than party-affiliated candidates. * Read full report in tomorrow's print paper or log in or sign up for e-paper and premium online news access. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss.

Kota Kinabalu: Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) accused Parti Warisan of trying to divert public attention from their failures when they were given the mandate to govern. 'The people of Sabah placed their trust in Warisan during the last state election. 'But what did Warisan do? Empty promises, political instability and weak governance. 'They couldn't even last a full term. Yet now they appear as if they're the 'local heroes',' said Likas Gagasan Rakyat's Chief Mohammad Bahrin Abd Karim in a statement. He was responding to Warisan Assemblyman Justin Wong who called on the Chief Minister and several Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) assemblymen to resign if they loved Sabah. 'Calling for leaders to step down based solely on unverified documents and wild speculation is irresponsible. 'We respect the legal process and leave it entirely to the MACC to conduct their investigation fairly and professionally,' he said, referring to the alleged mining scandal implicating several GRS assemblymen. He said Hajiji had openly made his his stand on political funding, a common issue in any democratic system. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
