KOTA KINABALU: Opposition parties here have expressed reservations over an invitation by the PAS-Umno alliance to join their recently-launched, Muafakat Nasional, or national unity charter.
“We’re studying the scenarios … all the best to them,” said PBS president Maximus Ongkili in a short text message.However, SAPP president Yong Teck Lee replied with a one-word “no” when prompted. Asked if there was any particular reason, he said: “So obvious.” He later added “no need to assume and we also no need to comment” when pressed what he meant by his answer.
She said Sabahans could add valuable insights to the partnership, “perhaps even so much as setting the benchmark and closing the gap on how to achieve this kemuafakatan to perfection,” she told FMT.
