Chance for peninsula-based coalitions to prove
Jalil said voters wanted to know if no hoppers like PAS and MIC would be rewarded with GLC posts or Nominated Assembly seats just for being fringe parties of federal coalitions.

“Based on reports there is likely to be no clear majority winner and such being the case the coalition or party that wins even a handful of seats have the chance to be a partner in the new state government... so why worry?” said activist Haji Abdul Jalil Ghani. 

He was responding to reports that Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional have reached an agreement without Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) even though the Sabah unity government comprises all three.
