KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s steadfast commitment to Sabah has given new impetus to the aspirations of Moyog constituents for continued development and stable leadership, said Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president Datuk Seri R. Ramanan.
The Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development said constituents in Moyog, a state seat under the Penampang parliamentary constituency, were hoping for leadership that could unite the community and advance development in line with Sabah’s aspirations to become a competitive and dignified state.
He said this confidence was also influenced by the Prime Minister’s consistent presence in Sabah, with each visit accompanied by clear policies and commitments to drive the state’s development.
“What we see today reflects the people’s confidence in the Madani government under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, a leader who not only visits Sabah regularly but also brings clear policies and commitments each time to strengthen the state’s development,” he said in a Facebook post.
Earlier, Ramanan accompanied Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Remysta Jimmy Taylor for the Moyog seat at the 17th Sabah State Election to the nomination centre at Dewan Kebudayaan Penampang, in the presence of nearly 1,000 PH members and supporters.
Ramanan expressed his appreciation to all grassroots party machinery for their presence and support throughout the nomination process.
The Moyog seat is witnessing a straight fight between candidates from PKR-PH and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS).
Apart from Moyog, the Kapayan state seat has also emerged as a key battleground under the Penampang parliamentary constituency in the state polls.
The Moyog seat was previously held by Warisan, with victories by Jenifer Lasimbang in 2018 and Derrel Liking in 2020.
The 17th Sabah General Election officially began today, with the nomination process held at 25 centres for candidates vying for the 73 state seats.
