PETALING JAYA: Upko president Ewon Benedick must be practical in his demand for power sharing in the appointment of grassroots leaders in Sabah by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah and Pakatan Harapan assemblymen, says an analyst.
Council of Professors fellow Jeniri Amir said Ewon must bear in mind that his party only holds one seat in the 73-seat Sabah assembly.“I disagree with him because it is not fair for GRS the government under Hajiji Noor, since Upko only has one seat,” Jeniri told FMT.
He said the cooperation between GRS and Sabah PH should translate into power sharing, starting with the appointment of the “ketua adat” in every district.Ewon said he had implemented a “60:40 power-sharing formula” in his state constituency, Kadamaian.“I hope that this power-sharing formula can serve as an example for assemblymen of other constituencies, because without the support of PH assemblymen, the current government in Sabah would not have been sustained,” he said.
Universiti Malaysia Sabah’s Lee Kuok Tiung said the proposed formula by Ewon is good, but it would require the approval of all parties involved.
