He said the decision followed careful discussions with the coalition’s leadership and was made on his own accord.

He added that he would continue serving the people of Silam and Lahad Datu in any capacity where he could contribute.
Halim thanked PH leaders, party workers and local supporters, expressing hope that the election would bring leaders who remained attentive to community needs.
