00:00Gabungan Rakyat Sabah is expected to double down on stability and state-led governance,
00:06as voters have signaled a clear preference for continuity and local control over federal influence,
00:12analyst Sid. Siva Murugan Pandian of University Science Malaysia said,
00:18GRS is also expected to focus on accelerating infrastructure and economic projects,
00:24securing Malaysia Agreement 1963 deliverables. He said Chief Minister Hajiji Noor will also have to
00:32look beyond immediate governance goals to secure the party's long-term survival through a credible
00:38succession plan. GRS won 29 of 73 seats on Saturday to outpace Warisan which secured 25. The victory
00:49allowed Hajiji to form a new state government, relying on independence and allies for majority
00:55in the state assembly. Shahza Shukri of the International Islamic University Malaysia said
01:02that with the coalition's narrow majority, Hajiji's government will rely heavily on negotiation and
01:08consensus building and that he will need to be a more accommodating leader at home while avoiding
01:14a top-down leadership style. Awang Azman Awang Pawi of University Malaya said Sabah's ties with Pucca Jaya
01:23would be cooperative but transactional, with GRS expected to press for the implementation of MA63,
01:30large development funds, and guarantees of political stability. Panyujo, FMT.
