Kota Kinabalu: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) President Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili (pic) reiterated the party’s and Sabah public’s loud unhappiness over the appointment of a Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) member as a Nominated Assemblyman.“We share their misgivings and concerns over the setting of a precedent whereby a member of a Malaya-based religious party is appointed to be a member of the state assembly without even having participated in the election.
“As I have informed the public in my statement earlier, we have raised this matter with the top leaders of Perikatan Nasional (PN). They have given their explanation. Nevertheless, we maintain our original position that there was no need to set a precedent for the appointment given the concerns on religious grounds.
