KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) officially launched its Sabah Chapter on Friday as part of preparations for the 17th State Election.

The event was officiated by PBK President Voon Lee Sha, witnessed by Sabah Chapter Chairperson Datin Soh Kee Kuat, party leaders and local supporters.

Voon said PBK seeks to provide Sabahans with a democratic platform to reclaim rights within the Federation, in line with both domestic and international law.
