KOTA KINABALU: Undaunted by commonly-held view that Sabah PKR is all but ‘dead’, local opposition party Sabah Progressive Peoples Party (SAPP) has reached out to the party to form an alliance ahead of the coming general election.Seeing the newly PKR appointed presidential council as a ‘stabilising’ factor, SAPP believes that there was now room for talks with their fellow opposition party.
According to SAPP leader Yong Teck Lee, with PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and the presidential council leading the Sabah PKR, “we expect that at least in the next two months we will have consistency in PKR leadership in Sabah because it is the same as the central leadership.”
“In the past it (state leadership) kept changing and of course there were lots of internal dispute so we didn’t know who we should talk to.
“With Wan Azizah leading Sabah PKR, there will be a higher degree of stability,” he said when met at his Chinese New Year open house at Taman Kinamount in Luyang near here earlier this week.
Yong said the new stability within Sabah PKR may allow SAPP to sit down with Sabah PKR to discuss issues like seats distribution in the coming general election.
However, he believed the actual situation in Sabah PKR would only be seen after two months as indicated by Wan Azizah.
Wan Azizah had set a two-month time frame for the presidential council to come up with a comprehensive plan and manifesto for Sabah PKR in facing the election.
“In the meantime I think PKR in Sabah is undergoing an interim period of stability because of the presidential council (but) what happens after two months we don’t know,” he said. - FMT
