KOTA KINABALU – More than 100 members from the Warisan Women’s wing in the Putatan division, headed by their former chief Noraini Omar, have left the party and handed over their application forms to join Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star)
The handover was held at a hotel in Asia City, Kota Kinabalu, and the forms received by Star secretary-general Datuk Guan Dee Koh Hoi yesterday.
Guan, who is a senator, said STAR welcomed Noraini and her members, adding that the move will only serve to strengthen the party in Putatan. “It is our hope that such membership in Star will be increased in time to come.
“We have many Star Wanita (women) members and we hope to hold an AGM for Star Youth, Wanita and division in March with the Wanita central selection in April or May,” he said.
Meanwhile, Noraini said those handing over their Star membership forms today to Guan comprised former members from the Putatan wing as well as members of the public in her area who are looking for change as many are still poor and in need of assistance.
“With this move, we hope that the strength and welfare of women members in my area Putatan can be strengthened.”
Meanwhile, Putatan Star coordinator Philip Among said he was grateful that it was strengthened with the applications which will strengthen the struggle to safeguard the rights and welfare of people in Sabah.
Meanwhile, regarding the condition of Star president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan who was hospitalised for Covid, Guan said he had spoken to Jeffrey and that he was doing well and was expected to be released from hospital early next week.
Guan also confirmed that Star Bingkor assemblyman Robert Tawik was also admitted yesterday to Keningau Hospital for Covid-19. – The Vibes, January 10, 2021
