Kota Kinabalu: The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) logo must remain a symbol of Sabah-based political parties and representation, said Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Vice President David Ong (pic).

He questioned recent suggestions that candidates from Pakatan Harapan (PH) could contest under the GRS logo while remaining members of PH component parties.

David said GRS was established as a coalition of Sabah-based parties founded on local leadership and representation, with the aim of championing Sabah’s interests.

He said individuals who wish to contest under the GRS logo should be members of a Sabah-based component party within the coalition.

“The GRS logo is more than just an election symbol. It represents the aspirations of Sabahans to have a stronger voice in determining Sabah’s future and safeguarding Sabah’s rights under the Federal Constitution and the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63),” he said.

David said LDP would object to any proposal allowing PH component party members to contest under the GRS logo while retaining their party membership, saying the symbol should represent commitment to Sabah-based politics.
