Anwar heads Sabah PKR

Press Statement By
DATUK DR JEFFREY G. KITINGAN
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Vice President
Dec 29th, 2008

SUPPORT FOR ANWAR AS SABAH PKR CHIEF (Dr Jeffrey's first public reaction on Anwar's appointment as Sabah PKR chief)


Since Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ia also our (PKR) Ketua Umum, it is a privilege for Sabah to have him as our (Sabah) Pengerusi Perhubungan Negeri (State PKR Liaison Chairman).

I would have objected if it was just any other leader.

This means we, in Sabah, can discuss and have direct access to the head of the National Opposition who is also the Prime Minister-in-waiting!

I view this as something positive. In other words Sabah's and Sarawak's status have been upgraded! Isn't this what we have been looking for?

Of course in the long term, we will assist him to ease his burden by proposing an alternative appointment for the Borneo States.

Thank you.

My Say:

It will be interesting to hear what the other PKR leaders in Sabah have to say on Anwar's appointment as the party chief for Sabah and Sarawak. With this latest development, Haji Ansari Abdullah had been ousted as Sabah PKR chief.
