KOTA BELUD: If Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) wins the Sabah elections on September 26, a first 15 general elections (GE15) can be held, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin hinted today.
He said the election of Sabah was vital as it would decide the future political landscape of the country.
“At the national level, we have not decided when the general elections should be called … but if we win the state elections in Sabah … we should quickly hold the general elections.
“The important thing in the Sabah polls is the signal that we can get (from the people) on whether or not they are supporting Perikatan Nasional (PN) or if they want me to continue as prime minister because we want Malaysia to move forward and succeed. One of the ways to be successful is to stay with me, “he said today at an event to meet locals.
Muhyiddin, who is also the PN president, said Sabahans should help ensure the GRS victory so that the state government is aligned with the federal government.
“The choice is yours… if there is a possibility to form a new state government, do not opt for Warisan because Pakatan Harapan has ceased to exist and no longer rules the country.
“I don’t think the people of Sabah still want to elect the opposition during this very critical situation, especially when economic activities are slowing down due to Covid-19. We need to overcome this difficult situation and that is why we need a state government aligned with the PN, ”he said.
Muhyiddin said that efforts towards economic recovery must be managed by both the state and federal government.
“We have been among the best countries in handling Covid-19, we don’t want to be the worst in the post-Covid-19 economic recovery. If the Sabah government is led by GRS after the September 26 elections, I promise to help Sabah to revive its economy, “he added.
