KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah's decision (GRS) to join the unity government under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is for the good of the state.
GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said he had conveyed the coalition's wishes to Anwar last night regarding their support for the prime minister.
"It is for the good of Sabah and political stability. So, we support him and his government," he said.
Hajiji, who is Sabah chief minister, said his party did not want plans involving the interests of the people and the state to be disrupted by politics.
He wanted all Sabah Maju Jaya agendas to be realised for the people of Sabah.
"We have three more years to govern Sabah, so, we don't want too much politics and various distractions because for us, what is important is the interests of the people and the state," he said when met by reporters after the tabling of Sabah's 2023 Budget at the state assembly building here.
Asked if GRS would ask for the position of deputy prime minister, Hajiji said he would leave the decision to the federal government.
