KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) has described the new state cabinet formed on Wednesday (Jan 11) as an inclusive administration, with representatives from Pakatan Harapan (Pakatan) being absorbed.
Sabah Amanah chief Lahirul Latigu in welcoming the cabinet reshuffle, was referring to the two Pakatan assemblymen being appointed as cabinet ministers under Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor’s helm.
"This is the spirit that needed to be shown to Sabah folks, that close cooperation between leaders must be boosted in order to develop the state," he said in a statement here. Liew was appointed as state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister, a portfolio she held back in 2018, while Phoong has the state Industrial Development Ministry portfolio.
