"PPBM's entry will strengthen the Warisan-led government to win seats won by the opposition in the next general election."They (Warisan) don't have to worry. If Warisan doesn't want PPBM to contest in the next general election, we will abide and in fact we will even help their candidates to win," he said.He was commenting on Parti Warisan President Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal who had said that his party was firm on its stand of not wanting PPBM to come to Sabah. He said Shafie's statement that both parties already had an understanding that the peninsula-based party must stay out of Sabah needs a re-think for the interest of the people of Sabah.
