UPKO Coimmitted To Bolster GRS Coalition – Ewon

KOTA KINABALU, June 19 -- The United Kinabalu Progressive Organisation (UPKO) is committed to contributing to efforts to strengthen and empower Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) to spearhead the leadership, administration and development of the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. Its president Datuk Ewon Benedick said the commitment was following UPKO's acceptance as a GRS component party after its application to join the coalition was officially received yesterday. The Sabah Deputy Chief Minister also expressed his appreciation to Hajiji as the GRS chairman and a member of the Supreme Council for accepting UPKO as a component party. “GRS is the only coalition of local parties in Sabah, so this should be the real home of political parties from Sabah. “Only local Sabah parties truly understand the image of Sabah in developing its future through what has been agreed upon in the Malaysia Agreement 1963,” he said in a statement today. Ewon also called on all Sabahans to unite with GRS to build the vision of Sabah First, Sabah Prosper, Sabah United. UPKO’s entry means that GRS now consists of six component parties, including Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah, Parti Bersatu Sabah, Parti Liberal Demokratik, Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah and Parti Cinta Sabah. -- BERNAMA
