Kuala Lumpur: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasised that close cooperation between state and federal leaders is essential to ensure the aspirations of the people are realised in a comprehensive and inclusive manner.

The Pakatan Harapan (PH) Chairman said he had held a meeting with Barisan Nasional (BN) Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, conducted in a harmonious atmosphere marked by camaraderie.

“This meeting reflects political maturity and a commitment to strengthening cooperation to ensure the country’s stability, particularly in the context of relations between the Federal Government and Sabah.

“I believe political stability is a crucial foundation for advancing development agendas and safeguarding the welfare of the people,” he said in a Facebook post.

Anwar, who is also PKR President, expressed hope that this spirit of consensus will continue to underpin stronger national unity, leading to a progressive, just and prosperous future for all in Malaysia.

PH is in separate pacts with GRS and BN for the Sabah election, as the two coalitions have refused to work together despite Anwar’s urging.

Sabah BN previously said any form of cooperation with GRS would only be considered after the outcome of the state polls, which must be held by December.
