KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) acting president Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam has called upon all PBS members and supporters to stay calm, united and focused following the Malaysiakini report implicating him in the purported bribery scandal involving Sabah mineral mining licences.
He firmly denied the allegations, describing the report as grossly irresponsible with ill intent aimed at tarnishing his reputation.
“I will not be distracted by any attempts to discredit me and remain sincerely committed to carrying out my responsibilities as a member of the Sabah State Cabinet and Assemblyman for Kundasang to the best of my ability,” he said in a statement here today.
Dr Joachim urged the members to continue working hard for the people.
“There is still much to do. We need to continue listening, finding what can be improved, and doing our best to bring development to our beloved state.
“Rest assured, I will face this situation with a clear heart and conscience. I appreciate the continued support and trust of the people,” he added.
