KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government is still solid with a two-thirds majority despite two Upko assemblymen leaving the coalition, says Parti Warisan Sabah vice-president Datuk Junz Wong in a statement on Monday (June 15).
"The Sabah government still commands 41 out of 60 Sabah state assembly seats whereas Perikatan Nasional, including the two that jumped today, has only 19.
Under the Sabah constitution, apart from the 60 elected representatives, the Chief Minister can request for the nomination of six nominated assemblymen whose powers are similar elected representatives. Wong, who is the state assemblyman for Tanjung Aru, said that it is important for everyone to “discern between sentiment and facts.”
Junz, who is also the Sabah Agriculture and Food Industry Minister, said that the majority of Sabahans want to focus on rebuilding Sabah instead of being part of a federal power play.
