KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) leaders have refuted speculation that party president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili is stepping down due to health concerns.
PBS deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam said Ongkili had temporarily delegated party affairs to a six-member special task force but would attend the upcoming 38th party congress.
Gunsalam said he would deliver Ongkili's policy speech and PBS premier advisor Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan would open the congress."There is a time frame for us to run the affairs of the party, but we will see at the congress if he wants to extend the task force or not," he said PBS secretary-general Datuk Julita Majungki added that Ongkili was still well and would attend the congress."He has been in the thick of things, advising us what to do. Despite the perception, there is nothing to be worried about," said the Kiulu assemblyman.Gunsalam also dismissed speculation that Ongkili could step aside as PBS president and Pairin could possibly return temporarily to take over.
