KUALA LUMPUR – Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin has met Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over the political situation in Sabah.
The meeting with Zahid, who is also a deputy prime minister – along with BN deputy chairman, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan and other senior BN leaders – was held in Kuala Lumpur.
“I explained to them the political situation in Sabah. Everything that has a beginning must have an end. The struggle has just begun and the journey is a long one,” he said in a Facebook posting accompanied by several pictures of the meeting.
Sabah politics is again at an impasse after some BN elected representatives decided to end their political cooperation with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).
Earlier, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he will be meeting Sabah leaders next week after he concludes his two-day trip to Indonesia.
He assured that the situation remained under control and that the state government machinery was unaffected.
Meanwhile, GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor was seen entering Istana Seri Kinabalu Negeri Sabah before 5pm today.
He was also seen smiling and waving to the reporters waiting outside the palace when he left.
Earlier, The Vibes reported that Sabah Governor Tun Juhar Mahiruddin will be summoning all state elected representatives for a meeting on the political impasse.
“We will call them (the assemblymen) to state who they support as chief minister. This will be done soon,” said state communications secretary Datuk Abdul Rashid Mohd Tahir. – The Vibes, January 7, 2023
