Sabah's Bersatu members quit Muhyiddin's party en masse (The Straits Times)

KOTA KINABALU - Members of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) in Sabah have quit the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin-led party en masse, said Bersatu Sabah ...

On the flip side, Bersatu Sabah has double coalition memberships in GRS and PN, said Sunway University’s political scientist Wong Chin Huat. “Sabahan parties do not like to be associated with national parties if there is a choice. But I doubt this because individuals who are already members of their respective individual parties such as Bersatu, Sabah Star cannot be members of another political party,” added Mr Rajan. Dr Ronald, who is a Bersatu vice-president, has not announced that he would quit the party. GRS, which is a member of PM Anwar’s unity government, has a total of six MPs – four from Bersatu, one from PBS and another from Sabah Star. We are confident that this decision will be good for political unity and stability in Sabah,” he said in a statement on Saturday.

KOTA KINABALU, Dec 10 — A Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) leader has cited the rise of “political Islam” as their reason for leaving Parti Pribumi Bersatu ...

It’s difficult for GRS or for that matter many Sabahans, to accept what is now marketed as ‘political Islam’. We are just simple Sabahans who want to protect our cultural and social heritage from being adulterated with non-Sabahan values. In 2018, Hajiji had also led a group of almost all Sabah Umno’s elected representatives — nine out 10 assemblymen and four out of five MPs — out of Umno following a dismal showing in the 2018 general election (GE14).
