Kota Kinabalu: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) has reiterated its support for Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin to become the next prime minister.
In a statement, GRS chairman Hajiji Noor said he met Muhyiddin on Sunday and reiterated the Sabah coalition’s support for PN to form the government.
“GRS believes the federal government must be formed as soon as possible so that the government can function fully, especially to finalise Budget 2023.
“GRS is always committed to bringing unity for the benefit of the people and the country,” he said.
Yesterday, Muhyiddin said he had received the support of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and GRS to form the government and become the prime minister.
He also hinted at having the support of BN MPs, adding that he will show statutory declarations signed by them as proof that PN had enough parliamentary support to form a government.
Today, BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said all its MPs must abide by the decision of the Supreme Council with regard to the formation of government.
He said statutory declarations signed by BN MPs prior to this would be considered invalid.
