After criticism from Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat), Sabah PKR clarified that state party chief Mustapha Sakmud was only expressing his “annoyance” at a statement made by a senior state Umno leader.

Sabah PKR information chief Ahmad Farid Sainuri said Mustapha was responding to state Umno information chief Suhaimi Nasir, who described Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) as a “liability” in the ongoing “love triangle” with Pakatan Harapan.
