Chance for peninsula-based coalitions to prove
Published on: Thursday, June 05, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jun 05, 2025 By: Sohan Das Text Size: Jalil said voters wanted to know if no hoppers like PAS and MIC would be rewarded with GLC posts or Nominated Assembly seats just for being fringe parties of federal coalitions.

'There should be no fear losing or even losing their deposits if they are confident of support as they often claim. 'Based on reports there is likely to be no clear majority winner and such being the case the coalition or party that wins even a handful of seats have the chance to be a partner in the new state government... so why worry?' said activist Haji Abdul Jalil Ghani. He was responding to reports that Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional have reached an agreement without Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) even though the Sabah unity government comprises all three.

Bersatu desperate for my seat: Suhaili
Published on: Friday, May 09, 2025 Published on: Fri, May 09, 2025 By: Sohan Das Text Size: Suhaili with Anwar. LABUAN: Member of Parliament Datuk Suhaili Abdul Rahman said Bersatu should not rush to have his Labuan seat in the Dewan Rakyat but wait for all avenues to challenge Bersatu removing him from party membership being exhausted. 'There is still a long way to go. I have instructed my lawyers to file an appeal and, if necessary, move to the Federal Court level,' said Suhaili. He was referring to a letter from Bersatu Chief Whip Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul to declare the Labuan seat vacant. Suhaili reiterated that he was not the one to abandon ship. 'The ship abandoned me,' said Suhaili. 'It is unfortunate that the party does not see this. I declared support to the Prime Minister due to the good policies and my support would benefit Labuan where I serve,' said Suhaili. Subscribe or LOG IN to access this article.
