Sabah Bersatu deputy chief quits party to back GRS

Sabah Bersatu deputy chief Aksyah Nasrah has announced his departure from the party and pledged support for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).

He said he was resigning from all positions in Bersatu with immediate effect.

"I have sent a letter of resignation to Sabah Bersatu chairperson Ronald Kiandee dated Dec 28. The resignation is my own decision and not influenced by anyone," he said in a statement today.

Aksyah (above) expressed full support for Chief Minister Hajiji Noor, who is also GRS chief, and the party's struggle in defending the rights and interests of Sabah as enshrined in the state constitution.

He said the slogan "Rumah Kita, Kita Jaga" (We take care of our own house) that Hajiji often utters was a very accurate narrative in ensuring that Sabah was truly led and managed by the local party leadership without negating good relations with Putrajaya.

Aksyah said Hajiji's great success was uniting the leaders and people of Sabah through a combination of GRS political platforms and that unity was the main issue at the core of the state's progress.

"Through the unification and coalition of all local parties, which represent the majority of Sabahans, I am confident and believe that Hajiji and GRS can bring Sabah to greater development and success in all sectors for the benefit and interest of the people," he added.
