Discontent brewing in new Sabah govt as coalition parties squabble over GE15 seats - superadmin - 02-18-2021 KOTA KINABALU, Feb 18 — Signs of unhappiness have been leaking out from the component parties of the newly cobbled-together Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition here barely six months after it won the state election. Sabah Umno chief Datuk Bung Mokhtar declared earlier this week that his party wishes to contest more than half of the parliamentary seats in Sabah, colliding with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s targets.  Now, another component party has said that its members are unhappy due to the unequal distribution of power. There are rumblings from party members of Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) over political appointments to state government-linked companies (GLCs), native court and village leadership posts that they felt were not fair. - More -
