Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg and Sabah Chief Minister Mohd Shafie Apdal were today at the Prime Minister's official residence for a meeting.

It was also Abang Johari's first meeting with Mahathir after leading the Sarawak ruling coalition out of BN to form the state-based Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). 

Taking to Facebook, Abang Johari said the meeting this evening was on Mahathir's invitation for a belated Harvest Festival celebration.

"Now attending the Gawai Raya Keaamatan at the official residence of Mahathir with the cabinet members of Sarawak and Sabah," he said in a Facebook posting.

Other Sarawak leaders present were Deputy Chief Ministers Douglas Unggah Embas, James Jemut Masing and Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.

After quitting BN earlier this month, Abang Johari had said the GPS will remain in the opposition but work with the new Pakatan Harapan government on certain issues.

From Sabah, also present were state Deputy Chief Ministers Christina Liew, Wilfred Madius Tangau and Jaujan Sambakong.

Sabah is being led by an alliance between Warisan and Pakatan Harapan as well as Upko, which quit BN after the May 9 general election.
