KDM rep attends GRS assemblymen's programme amid support withdrawal

Kota Kinabalu saw a KDM representative, Datuk Rusdin Rimad, attending a Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) assemblymen's program even as his party decided to withdraw support from the coalition. The GRS secretary-general, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, informed Rusdin about the party's decision to withdraw support following Priscella Peter's announcement of KDM's withdrawal.

Rusdin stated that his commitment was to serve the people of his constituency and ensure the stability of the state government to allow the development agenda to proceed. Armizan, who also serves as Papar's member of parliament, clarified that KDM was not a component party of GRS. Last November, KDM had expressed its support for GRS chairman and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, but this did not imply KDM had become a component party of GRS.
