KOTA MARUDU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said Kota Marudu Bersatu remained intact despite the departure of its chairman Datuk Wetrom Bahanda.
“As the leader of Bersatu Sabah (PPBM) I would like to make it clear that even though the head of Kota Marudu Bersatu has ditched the party, I assure that Bersatu is here to stay in Kota Marudu,” he said at the Jelajah GRS Kota Marudu here today.
“We will continue to support Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) candidate Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili (for Kota Marudu MP).
“We should not make a miscalculation in politics. I understand that Parti Warisan is fishing especially during the elections. We know their intention … cakap tidak serupa bikin (do not walk the talk).
“They just talk. What have they done in two years and a half as the government of Sabah? They have no hala tuju (direction) other than politicking without any regard to the interests of the multi-racial people in the State.”
According to him, the leadership of Maximus who is Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president is still very much needed by the people here.
“He has done so much for Kota Marudu. If there are certain people or opposition claiming that there is no development in Kota Marudu, this we cannot accept. It is a total blatant lie.
“We can see for ourselves that Kota Marudu has undergone a major transformation ever since he (Maximus) becomes the Member of Parliament and a Federal minister,” he said.
