SABAH PKR URGES PUBLIC NOT TO FALL FOR SLANDER POLITICS 

KOTA KINABALU, Nov 26 (Bernama) — Sabah PKR has urged the public not to be influenced by slanderous politics, incitement or attempts to manipulate issues to confuse the people as the political atmosphere heats up ahead of the 17th Sabah State Election this Saturday.

Sabah PKR chairman Datuk Mustapha Sakmud said the future of the state should not be determined by political games but through facts, honesty and policies that bring benefits to the people of the Land Below the Wind.

“Sabah KEADILAN (PKR) remains committed to continuing the reform agenda, amplifying the voice of the people and ensuring that Sabah enjoys clean, stable and accountable governance,” he said in a post on his Facebook page today.

He said Sabah PKR fully supports the statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on accepting the resignation of the Prime Minister’s Senior Political Secretary Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin.

Mustapha said Sabah PKR also supports the Prime Minister’s firm stance that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) must be allowed to conduct investigations independently without interference from any party.

He said Shamsul Iskandar’s decision to resign was a responsible move and aligned with the principles of the MADANI government, which prioritises integrity, transparency and good governance.

“It proves that no one in the government is immune from the legal process, and all allegations must be investigated fairly and professionally.

“MACC must be given full space to complete its investigations according to procedure without political pressure — this is the foundation of institutional reform that has long been championed,” he said.
