PKR Sabah defends its plan to contest 13 seats
Published on: Thursday, May 29, 2025 Published on: Thu, May 29, 2025 Text Size: Mohd Guntur also pointed out that PKR is the only national party that has formally enshrined the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) in its party constitution, which underscores the party's commitment to Sabah's rights and autonomy. Kota Kinabalu: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sabah defended its plan to contest 13 seats in the coming 17th Sabah State Election (PRN17), stressing the decision was based on cooperation with political partners and not dictated by the party's national leadership. The clarification comes in response to Star Sabah Information Chief Anuar Ghani, who labelled it as a move by 'political outsiders.' A member of the AMK Malaysia leadership council and Chief of the AMK Pensiangan Branch Mohd Guntur Sangkar, said the proposed list of seats was the result of ongoing discussions between PKR Sabah and its partners in Barisan Nasional (BN) and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS). 'The list was shaped based on a spirit of mature political cooperation, without sidelining the role of local parties. PKR Sabah is not merely a branch that blindly follows central directives,' he said in a statement. He said that since its formation, PKR Sabah has developed through close collaboration between local activists and national leadership, and is deeply rooted in the State. Mohd Guntur also pointed out that PKR is the only national party that has formally enshrined the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) in its party constitution, which underscores the party's commitment to Sabah's rights and autonomy. Advertisement He urged Star to reflect on its own past alignments, particularly its previous cooperation with Perikatan Nasional (PN). 'This was a coalition that openly weakened Sabah's position in MA63 negotiations and failed to deliver on many development promises,' he said. He also said PKR Sabah has remained consistent in championing reform and justice for the people of Sabah, while Star's political stance shifted depending on convenience. 'What Sabah needs is stability and principle, not opportunism,' Mohd Guntur 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?

Chrisnadia KOTA KINABALU (May 19): Former Sabah Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) information chief, Chrisnadia Sinam, has officially announced her resignation from the party and her decision to take a break from active politics.

She garnered 14,870 votes but was defeated by Barisan Nasional's Datuk Madius Tangau, who received 22,494 votes. Chrisnadia explained that her decision to step away from politics was driven by a desire to focus on her business career, pursue a PhD in Engineering at Open University Malaysia, and expand her involvement in charitable initiatives and community service.
