KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah’s (PBS) willingness to work with the opposition, including Parti Warisan Sabah, will benefit Sabah STAR, it was pointed out. Sabah STAR secretary-general Datuk Guandee Kohoi said PBS president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili’s announcement that the party would consider working with Warisan if it shared the same aspirations as PBS was a desperate move to compete with STAR. He said instead of working harmoniously with Sabah STAR, PBS had again made statements suggesting that it wanted to challenge and compete with Sabah STAR. However, Kohoi said Sabah STAR welcomed Ongkili’s stance as it made more supporters frustrated and disappointed with PBS. The “cold war” is believed to have sparked off when Sabah STAR took in PBS strongman Stephen Teo and made him a Sabah STAR division chief for the Sepanggar parliamentary constituency.
