If Rina Jainal is sincere in wanting to serve the people, she should have just become an Independent representative instead of switching parties, says Parti Warisan vice-president Datuk Jaujan Sambakong.

Rina had earlier said the size of a party was irrelevant but what mattered most was whe­ther the party could focus on serving the grassroots or whether it was busy with power grabbing.

“Warisan is considering legal action against the sixth assemblyman to leave its fold, for breaching a pledge of allegiance to the party before the last state election in September 2020,” said Jaujan.

The same action is being mulled for all previous five members who won their state seats on Warisan’s ticket.

They are Hassan A Gani Pg Amir (Sebatik), Datuk Yusof Yacob (Sindumin), Datuk Mohamaddin Ketapi (Segama), Datuk Peter Anthony (Melalap) and Datuk Juil Nuatim (Limbahau).

Jaujan also urged the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS)-Barisan Nasional state government to stop the alleged act of “offering benefits” to assemblymen and to focus on improving the people’s livelihood.
