00:00Gabungan Rakyat Sabah Deputy Secretary-General Armizan Muhammad Ali called on all parties to put their trust in the legal process after an assistant minister and a GRS assemblyman were charged with corruption yesterday.
00:15In a statement, Armizan said that nobody should jump to conclusions based on perceptions, sentiments or one-sided media reports.
00:23He also pointed out that when it came to allegations of corruption, many leaders across various parties had been implicated, some from the opposition and others from within the ruling coalition itself.
00:35But despite such cases, Armizan said GRS leaders had refrained from making public or official comments on the legal proceedings of leaders from other parties.
