KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Peter Anthony and Juil Nuatim’s departure from Warisan yesterday sent political shock wave across Sabah. <\/p>\n
Known as Warisan’s stalwart and a close ally of Warisan president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal, Anthony announced his departure one week ahead of impending court case scheduled on the 4th January 2022. <\/p>\n
His departure followed earlier departures of Sindumin and Lahad Datu Warisan’s lawmakers.<\/p>\n
Whether premeditated, an afterthought or simply a conscienced political contemplation, Anthony’s excuse to leave the party is seen by many as a fallacy. <\/p>\n
Warisan’s 17th December launching of a more dynamic political participation in Semenanjung cited by Anthony as a deviation of Warisan’s political mantra, “Sabah for Sabahans” and drifting upon its purpose as a Sabah base party is rather absurd and contentious. <\/p>\n
His equation on the recently concluded Sarawak state election is flawed. It ought to be contemplated that Sarawak based party – GPS won 76 seats out of the 82 contested (almost a clean sweep) a political gesticulation that Sarawakians do not allow national political parties to meddle in its political affairs. <\/p>\n
Warisan is still very much a local based party notwithstanding its intention to dilate its pinion across Malaysia.<\/p>\n
Anthony’s contemplation of a new political party genial to GRS is conflicting and somewhat a clash of his political ingenuity. While questioning Warisan’s political manoeuvre and intrusion to Semenanjung, one could not help but questions his desire to conjoin with GRS, a coalition of parties superintended by national parties outside Sabah. <\/p>\n
There remains a question of serving the KDM’s interest and as if PBS, PBRS and STAR have not inflicted serious division amongst the KDM.<\/p>\n
This is quite a game, politics. There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests. In recent times Warisan have taken a serious blow coming to the next general election. <\/p>\n
Loyalty is demanded in its tenacity to win back what is lost in betrayal. Whether a comeuppance or a blessing in disguise, we shall know the impending consequences in the next general election or earlier. <\/p>\n
Whoever wins this political tug of war, Sabahans fervently hope that we will rise out of the ashes and chart our political destiny as did our Borneon neighbour, Sarawak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
