TAMPARULI: The recent statement by Sabah Chief Minister and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Chairman Datuk Seri Haji Hajiji Haji Noor that GRS is ready to contest solo in the coming State Election (PRN) was met with full support here.

N14 Tamparuli Parti Star Wiramuda Chief cum Wiramuda Exco Secretary and GRS Youth Exco Member, Jess Joel Moriga, said the voice of the young is very clear that the future of Sabah must be determined by the people of Sabah.

“The leadership of Sabah’s local parties will be inherited by the next generation, so if GRS decides to contest solo, this is a very good starting point for the youth of Sabah.

Hajiji’s wisdom in handing over the final decision to the GRS Supreme Council shows transparency and openness in his leadership, and this gives space to all coalition components to express their stance, he added.

A call was also made for all GRS component parties to unite and be prepared to contest solo, as a symbol of mature and sovereign local political strength.
