LABUAN: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), as the ruling State coalition, should remain in the top position in any alliance reached with Federal-based coalition parties in facing the coming State election.

“Similar to GRS supporting PH and BN at Federal level, these Federal-based coalitions should support GRS at State level which can be a smart arrangement for all to gain from the polls,” said activist Abdul Jalil Ghani.

He was referring to both PH and BN stating being open to co-operation in the polls and GRS undecided except that it was prepared to go solo rather than work with BN, which tried very hard to bring down the Hajiji-led State Government but failed.
