00:00PKR leaders say candidates at the upcoming Sabah election appear reluctant to seek assistance from the party's central leadership,

00:08an issue that has become increasingly visible as campaigning intensifies.

00:12One central leader, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the situation is driven by the strong Sabah for Sabah sentiment

00:19that has shaped much of the state's political rhetoric in the run-up to Saturday's election.

00:24He added that while the party leadership genuinely wants to support the Sabah campaign,

00:29its offers have largely gone underutilized.

00:32He said though they genuinely want to help not just by providing resources but also by offering manpower and ideas,

00:39the candidates mostly only call for funds.

00:42However, a PKR division leader in Sabah, also speaking anonymously, said peninsula leaders need to better understand local sentiment.

00:50He added that the preference for local candidates to campaign independently stems partly from voter expectations

00:57and partly from friction over attitude, saying that while voter pressure to avoid interference from the peninsula plays a role,

01:04the main reason is their attitude as they are too bossy.
