Sabah’s GRS Coalition Leaders Urged to Prioritize People’s Welfare
Kota Kinabalu, November 3 (Bernama) – Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has called on leaders of the coalition’s component parties to set aside self-interest and avoid actions that could undermine the coalition’s efforts to support the welfare of the people.
Focus on People’s Needs, Not Self-Interest
Hajiji emphasized that GRS component party leaders should always remember the coalition’s original mission to develop Sabah and protect the interests of its people. "We cannot prioritise our own interests; we must put the needs of our people first. If we only focus on ourselves and our component parties, it could damage our mission within GRS. This would impede our efforts to govern and serve the people. There is still a long road ahead and much more we must do," he said.
Urging Unity and Collaboration
Hajiji urged leaders to let go of ego and discard any thoughts that hinder the mission to develop Sabah. "That’s why we call on our allies (component parties) within GRS to join us in building Sabah for our people," he said when officiating the GRS Students Convention in Sembulan here today.
Meetings and Discussions Ahead
Commenting on the 17th Sabah State Election (PRN), Hajiji said the coalition had a year to prepare for the state polls before the State Legislative Assembly is dissolved. He added that discussions among all GRS component parties and other political parties, especially Pakatan Harapan (PH), were expected to take place this month, focusing on seat distribution for the upcoming state election.
Seat Distribution Talks to Commence
"We will hold a meeting within GRS and Gagasan Rakyat to discuss seat distribution for our party and collaboration with other parties, especially PH. Be patient, there’s still a year left (before the assembly dissolves)," he said.
