"We have lost faith in the leadership of PKR which seems to have lost direction."We are now convinced that only BN and Umno can bring the kind of development and progress that the people of Sabah longed for. One good example is the Pan-Borneo Highway."We are also sure now that more and more people are supporting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, as can be seen from the results of the Sarawak state election and the two by-elections in the Peninsula."We also support the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Hj Aman who had brought unprecedented progress to Sabah. Under him, the best is yet to come.
