Kota Kinabalu: SAPP President Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee said there is no need to overreact to the news that SAPP is contesting on Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) symbol and on the GRS candidates.

He said every political party has its core principles and SAPP’s core principle on MA63 and Sabah autonomy is very clear.

“Minister Phoong (Jin Zhe) should know, the right to make one’s party policy clear is not the exclusive monopoly of DAP.

“I was speaking to my party members at a party branches’ annual general meeting. Our party members who have been loyal and dedicated have the right to know the party stand.

Minister Phoong should not interfere.

“The news on SAPP contesting on GRS symbol and on GRS candidates have nothing to do with Minister Phoong. Why was he overreacting?” he said.
