PRN Sabah uji kesetiaan parti kerajaan – Puad

PILIHANRAYA negeri Sabah adalah medan ujian kepada kesepakatan semua parti dalam Kerajaan Perpaduan, kata Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi UMNO, Puad Zarkashi.

Katanya, pengerusi Barisan Nasional, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi bercakap benar dengan berkata parti lain dalam Kerajaan Perpaduan perlu mengambil kira pandangan BN jika mahu bekerjasama pada PRN akan datang.

Puad berkata, kesetiaan dan kejujuran amat penting bagi UMNO dan sebab itulah ia tidak boleh bersama PAS dan Bersatu.

“PRN Sabah akan menguji sejauh mana perpaduan itu. Sama ada BN-PH akan bekerjasama dengan GSR atau Warisan, ia akan ditentukan kemudian.

“Semua tahu bahawa hubungan UMNO dan GRS tidaklah berapa baik manakala PH pula tidak sekata dengan Warisan,” katanya di halaman FB.

BN dan GRS saling ingin bekerjasama dengan PH pada PRN Sabah, yang mesti diadakan menjelang Disember 2025.

 

 

Sabah polls a test of govt parties loyalty – Puad

THE Sabah state election next year will be a test of the relationship between parties in the unity government, says Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi.

He said Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was correct to say that other parties in the coalition government needed to heed BN’s views if they wanted to remain allies in the 16th general election.

Puad said loyalty was a very important factor to Umno, adding that this was why Umno could not be allies for long with PAS and Bersatu.

“The Sabah election will test whether every party (in the unity coalition) listens to one another. Especially whether BN-Pakatan Harapan (PH) (will work) with Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) or Warisan (for the state polls).

“It is common knowledge that Umno is not on very good terms with GRS while PH is not on good terms with Warisan,” he said in a Facebook post.

Both BN and GRS are courting PH as allies for the Sabah polls, which must be held by December next year.

BN currently sits in the opposition in the Sabah assembly with Warisan, while PH is part of the state government led by GRS chairman Hajiji Noor.

Sabah PH had said it would settle internal discussions among its components before starting negotiations with other parties or coalitions on an alliance for the next state election.

The recent alleged mining scandal meanwhile had led to Umno leaders calling for Hajiji to step down as Sabah chief minister, as well as Sabah DAP reviewing its position in the state government.

Sabah PKR however dismissed calls for Hajiji’s resignation, saying the state government should be allowed to function as usual while the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission probes the allegations.
