TAWAU – Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) and Umno are demanding the loyalty of all party election machinery in the state to ensure victory in the upcoming 15th general election (GE15).
Umno information chief Shahril Sufian Hamdan said loyalty is demanded not only from leaders but also from BN and Umno grassroots in Sabah.
“Loyalty is not just about encouragement, but is also proven when it is translated into performance.
“Today, this is Sabah’s formula, which will be our catalyst to retake this state.
“Loyalty is not just lip service, but (was demonstrated) by taking heed and proving our loyalty throughout these four years.
“(Imagine) if we had believed what had been said in 2018, that Umno is gone and buried…but today, we have proven that Umno and BN are not only alive but thriving, because they have never doubted Sabah,” he said at a political gathering organised by Kalabakan and Tawau BN here today.
Meanwhile, Sabah BN deputy chairman Datuk Yakub Khan said there is no shortage of leaders in BN and Umno to continue the party’s struggle, and that victory is secured, as the struggle is not about the leader but about supporting the party.
Datuk Yakub, who officiated the programme today, said the presence of more than 7,000 supporters at the gathering showed that BN was still accepted and was very close to Sabah’s community. – Bernama, September 4, 2022
