Sabah PKR Rejects Calls for National Parties to Sit Out State Polls or Contest Under GRS Logo

Sabah PKR has dismissed suggestions that national parties should abstain from the upcoming state elections or compete under the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) banner, characterising such proposals as personal opinions rather than official party stances. The party's information chief, Razeef Rakimin, stated that these viewpoints do not represent GRS's official position and therefore do not necessitate a formal reply.
Rejection of Pandikar Amin Mulia's Statement

Razeef Rakimin specifically addressed remarks made by Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, a leader within a GRS component party, who advocated for GRS to contest all 73 seats and urged national parties to refrain from participating. Razeef deemed this statement inappropriate, asserting that while Sabah PKR is affiliated with the national party, it was established in April 1999 and comprises individuals who are Sabahan and committed to the state's interests.
No Consideration for Contesting Under GRS Logo

Regarding the suggestion that parties allied with GRS should use the GRS logo for the elections, Razeef indicated that Sabah PKR has not yet considered this possibility. He explained that any decision concerning electoral strategy will be deliberated and announced only after the dissolution of the State Assembly, taking into account the perspectives of coalition partners and the most advantageous offers available.
Current Relations Within the Unity Government

Despite these differing opinions, Razeef affirmed that Sabah PKR maintains positive relationships with both GRS and Barisan Nasional (BN). He highlighted the party's effective collaboration at both state and national levels within the framework of the current unity government, indicating smooth working relations with BN leaders.
