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.
