KOTA KINABALU: In one of the most awaited decisions of the current political turmoil, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal says Parti Warisan Sabah is backing Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The Warisan president announced that the party has decided to become part of the national Opposition, but will cooperate with the Federal Government for the sake of the people.
“I hope Muhyiddin understands. I have nothing against him. He is a nice friend of mine. He has been with us for a long time but I cannot be bogged down by politics, ” he said, adding that the national development agenda had to take priority. “If there is clarity in our lives, it will be easier for you to make decisions. But if we don’t have clarity in values, then we will change our minds easily, ” he said, adding that he hoped Sabah would remain “intact” until and after May.
On matters regarding oil royalty and state rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 , he said discussions were still ongoing. “It is not that we don’t want to share the riches of Sabah and Sarawak with other states, we do but we want what is ours according to MA63, ” he said.
