PENAMPANG: The people of Sabah should retain leaders of great calibre like Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, said Parti Bersatu Sabah president Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
He said the prime minister had initiated the transformation agenda and resolved problems faced by Sabahans, including forming the Royal Commission of Inquiry on Illegal Immigrants.
“He always goes down to the ground to meet the people, hear their grievances, and is willing to accept their suggestions or criticisms.
“Do not let go this kind of leader. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’,” he said at a rally here Monday night.
Pairin, who is contesting the Keningau parliamentary seat, said Najib had also beefed up the security of Sabah’s east coast by setting up the Sabah east Coast Special Security Area (Esscom), deploying more members of the security forces and adding seven more police stations.
Upko president Tan Sri Giluk Bernard Dompok, who is defending the Penampang parliamentary seat, said there was no reason for the people to change the government in favour of the opposition which was led by inexperienced and not knowledgeable Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. — Bernama #myvote13 #ge13
