00:00Haji J. Noor's announcement that Gabungan Rakyat Sabah is ready to contest in the Sabah election on its own

00:07should Pakatan Harapan and Barisan National join forces in the upcoming polls is a significant step,

00:14says Sabah rights activist James Lee Gunjang.

00:17The former Patagas Assemblyman said the statement by the GRS chairman, who is also Sabah chief minister,

00:23is a clarion call for Sabahans to reaffirm their commitment to self-determination.

00:28He said the proposed PHBN alliance raises concerns about the dominance and potential sidelining of local parties in the state's administration.

00:38He said Haji J.'s proactive stance serves as both a warning and an opportunity for a referendum

00:43on whether Sabahans will allow political entities from Malaya to dictate their state's trajectory toward self-empowerment.

00:51Yesterday, Haji J. said GRS has consistently held that local Sabah parties should be the backbone and head of the state government

00:59without sidelining the important role national parties play in the larger political framework.

01:05Lee Gunjang said any decision by GRS to contest independently while focusing on collaboration with other local parties

01:12would represent a strategic realignment that places Sabahans first.

01:16Yesterday, the Unity Government Coalition Secretariat announced that PH and BN have agreed to work together for the Sabah polls

01:24following a meeting between their respective chairman, Anwar Ibrahim and Ahmad Saeed Hamidi.
