Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah has rejected claims the Chinese community in the state has shifted its support to Warisan.
Its information chief, Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan, described Warisan president Shafie Apdal’s claims as “far from the current political reality”, as the community continues to trust the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah government led by chief minister Hajiji Noor.
“The Chinese community is increasingly comfortable with Hajiji’s leadership, which has a record of stable governance and a focus on people’s development,” he was quoted by Sabah Media as saying.
Shafie had claimed that the presence of the Chinese community at his party’s dinner in Tawau yesterday was proof of a shift in support.
Nizam said the community judged the government on economic performance and administrative stability, not political rhetoric.
He said Sabah’s economy was showing improvement, with new investments coming in and business activities picking up.
“This proves that the state government’s policies under Hajiji are effective and are delivering positive results to the people,” the Apas assemblyman said.
