Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, who was last week called to step down by the party's divisional head for Kiulu Sinding Ranggangon, said he would step down.
"I do not intend to hold on as PBS president forever. I will go at the right time," he said when opening the PBS Tanjung Aru and Petagas divisions AGM in Kota Kinabalu Sunday.
Pairin also disclosed that Sindin was airing out his frustration because he was not selected as candidate to contest Kiulu in the March 8, 2008 general elections.He said Sindin had been lobbying for Kiulu but incumbent Datuk Louis Rampas was retained to contest and won the seat.
My Say:
I rest my case.

Aiseh,
Semi Value said he'll go, AAB said he'll go, evryone said I'll go when the time is right.
But when is the right time?
...too often, great men who had done much for their country or community mar their place in the history books by clinging to power long after their time was up!
One obvious reform is to prevent the emergence of another strongman who will cling on to power for decades.
The era for strongmen is over! Whether a new electoral law will limit a leader to one, two or more terms is something for the people to decide, but there must be term limits!
A term limit will prevent a leader, no matter how wise and well-intentioned, from overstaying his time in office.
It is more important to have a system in place that protects the people than one which perpetuates incumbency, even of an exceptional leader!
China has laws that limits the terms of office-holders.......
NO COUNTRY'S OR COMMUNITY'S WELFARE SHOULD BE TOTALLY DEPENDENT
ON ONE INDIVIDUAL!
