KENINGAU: Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal reiterated that his Parti Warisan Sabah will only work with the people and not with other parties in the coming state election.
“Warisan will stand on its own. I am confident that this party can govern with the support of the people,” he said, after receiving 800 membership forms, here.
He said if two previous Sabah governments managed to rule Sabah for two terms, Warisan can do so, too.
“Parti Jelata Rakyat Sabah (Berjaya) led by Tan Sri Harris Salleh and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) led by Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan could rule for 10 years even though solo previously.
“We need to work with the people, listen to the people. If we join a coalition, our government will have many policies, many plans, many implementations that will depend on the needs of the coalition, not the needs of the people.
Shafie said based on his experience, coalitions do not last long.
He also said Warisan would continue to struggle for adherence to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) if the party is given the mandate.
He claimed that Warisan was the first to bring the MA63 issue to Parliament in 2019 through the late VK Liew to change what is contained in article 2 and article 1 regarding the position of Sabah and Sarawak.
