PAPAR: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Deputy Secretary-General Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali described recent speculation that Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee, Vice President of Bersatu and Beluran MP, might join GRS as premature and merely assumption.

Speaking at the Burger King Benoni Drive-Thru opening on Sunday, Armizan said no official announcement has been made by Ronald and stressed it is his right to decide his political direction.

He noted that any party seeking to join GRS must uphold its four core principles: ‘Sabah First’, ‘Sabah Proper’, ‘Sabah Forward’, and ‘Sabah United’.

Armizan emphasized that his comments were personal and not on behalf of GRS, highlighting the importance of unity and adherence to local political principles to strengthen Sabah’s political agenda.
