PENAMPANG: As Warisan pushes to return to power, Sabahans are weighing whether a change of government would bring stability or revive the political uncertainty that marked the collapse of its 2018–2020 administration.
Moyog Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) deputy chief Datuk Aminah Ambrose (

She said concerns also revolve around whether a Warisan-led government could maintain strong ties with Putrajaya, given Sabah’s dependence on federal allocations for water upgrades, electricity reliability and the long-delayed Pan Borneo Highway.
Aminah added that questions persist over Warisan’s late push to champion MA63 and Sabah’s 40 per cent revenue entitlement, as well as anxieties among business groups about the continuity of major projects if another political transition occurs.
She said issues such as undocumented migration and shifting alliances continue to shape voter sentiment, leaving Sabahans to weigh whether continuity or change would better address rising costs and longstanding infrastructure gaps.
