Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah president Liew Yun Fah has called on all parties to stop slandering Kukusan assemblyperson Rina Jainal who purportedly received a reward for joining the party.
Liew said Rina, who quit Warisan to join Harapan Rakyat, did not receive any reward from any party.
"For me, Rina is a brave person to join my party which is a small party led by a Chinese leader, I have reminded her that she would face slanders,” he said at a media conference with Rina in Tawau today.
Rina should be given the opportunity to prove to the people that she is hardworking and care for the Kukusan constituents, he added.
"Give her three months, if Rina cannot work but only talk, then she deserves to be reprimanded for joining Harapan Rakyat for rewards,” Liew said.
Meanwhile, Rina said she was ready to face accusations and resistance after deciding to switch to a small local party, but focused on issues in Tawau.
"I am aware that I am a newcomer to politics and Warisan was my initial struggle but I will continue that struggle with Harapan Rakyat and I am fighting for Sabah for Sabahans," she added.
Rina explained that her participation in Harapan Rakyat, despite being a small party, was because she sees the work of helping the people easier because the party president lives in Tawau.
She said after this, many programmes that had been planned before for the Kukusan area will be continued from time to time.
