KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) secretary-general Masidi Manjun welcomes Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s presence in Sabah tonight, amid the ongoing political turmoil in the state.
Masidi, a state minister, said GRS did not expect Anwar to come to Sabah but thanked the prime minister for making the effort to meet party leaders and elected representatives.
Anwar is expected to meet state political leaders, including those from GRS, Barisan Nasional (BN) and Warisan, after arriving here tonight.
Meanwhile, Masidi said assemblymen from GRS and Pakatan Harapan (PH), as well as five from Umno, did not discuss politics at all when they met at chief minister Hajiji Noor’s official residence here.
He said they did not even discuss the reshuffling of the state Cabinet, which Hajiji had said would be taking place following a failed coup attempt last week said to involve leaders from BN and Warisan.
“We have come here just to discuss the special state assembly sitting tomorrow, which is meant to pass two enactments involving the management of our gas resources and the setting up of an energy commission in Sabah.
“We did not discuss politics, as we decided to take a break from politics today,” he told reporters after the meeting.
Masidi also denied there would be changes in the seating arrangements in the state assembly tomorrow.
“We hope that all assemblymen will behave in a civil manner in carrying out our responsibility as elected representatives tomorrow.” - FMT
