00:00Gabungan Rakyat Sabah remains capable of leading the state government as a coalition of local
00:06parties, says an analyst, dismissing concerns over its waning influence after two parties
00:11withdrew.
00:13University of Malaysia Sabah's Lee Kuk-Tiyong said that under Hajji Ngoor's leadership,
00:18GRS has maintained its identity as a coalition built on local parties fighting for Sabah's
00:23interests.
00:24He said GRS operates on collective decision-making rather than dominance by any single member
00:29a principle likely to continue if it returns to power in the next election.
00:35According to Lee, the withdrawal of Parti Solidarity Tanah Aiku and the Sabah Progressive Party
00:41does not weaken GRS because its strength lies in the cooperation of local parties.
00:46He was commenting on concerns that GRS's strength as a local coalition might be weakened by the
00:52departure of STAAR and SAPP and its collaboration with Pakatan Harapan.
00:56GRS now consists of Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah, Parti Besatu Sabah, United Sabah National
01:04Organization, Liberal Democratic Party, Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah, and Parti Cinta Sabah.
