United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) president Ewon Benedick and United Sabah People’s Party (PBRS) president Arthur Joseph Kurup will collaborate through their respective ministries to develop Sabah.
Ewon (above, left)is the Entrepreneurs Development Minister and Cooperatives while Arthur is the Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation.
In a statement today, Ewon said he would visit Arthur’s Pensiangan parliamentary constituency at the end of the month while Arthur will visit Kadamaian state assembly constituency the following month.
“We both hope to inspire unity and togetherness among the people of Sabah so that there will be more focus on the welfare and development of the people and their constituencies, not just politicking all the time. We hope our focus will receive the support of the people,” he said.
Right now Upko is among the component parties of Pakatan Harapan while PBRS is a component party of BN which is currently under the patronage of the unity government of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Ewon, who is also the Penampang MP, had just recently taken over the leadership of Upko officially (Jan 15) while Arthur had taken over the leadership of PBRS on Jan 7.
