Tuaran: Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) is firm in its stand to reject any attempt to overthrow the Government.
Gagasan Rakyat Sulaman Division Deputy Chief Datuk Abd Kassim Razali said in line with that, he proposed that Gagasan Rakyat continue to support Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to lead the Federal Unity Government.
He said this when presenting several motions at the party’s Sulaman division annual meeting recently.
The Sulaman division is led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

He said Anwar had also proven that he was committed to taking care of the two Borneo states through the various initiatives and reformations planned, including giving more empowerment to Sabah and Sarawak in allowing both states to carry out projects under RM50 million directly.
“Looking forward, it is clear that political stability plays a vital role in ensuring that all government plans and policies go as well,” he said.
“We do not want to acknowledge any form of movement that can overthrow this current government,” Kassim added.
Apart from this motion, he also laid out two more points - one to support the Sabah Maju Jaya initiative and the other, calling on the Federal Government to assist and work together with Sabah to end hardcore poverty in the State.
He said the SMJ initiative focuses on various properly identified economic and social areas to develop the State, more so after the Covid-19 pandemic.
On eradicating hardcore poverty, Kassim said the Government must be closer to the grassroots to better identify issues and find solutions.
He said a better plan to change and improve the livelihood of the people can only be achieved if leaders and lawmakers have a proper understanding of what is happening on the ground.
He said local approaches that work for the different districts and different communities must be applied in the effort to bridge the economic gaps of the people.
“All stakeholders, be it from the state or federal, must work together to make this work,” said Kassim.
