1. I am pleased to announce that Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS) has been accepted in the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition.
2. On behalf of our party leaders and supporters, I express my highest gratitude to GRS Chairman cum Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hj Hajiji Hj Noor and all coalition leaders for accepting PCS into the GRS family.
3. As the saying goes, a family that eats together, stays together. On this common table, PCS shares the same vision and mission with the GRS for Sabah and the people. After all, we are a local Sabah party and naturally, we see our home in the GRS which is a truly local entity that Sabahans have long envisioned for.
4. As a local Sabah political party, it is in the PCS political DNA to champion Sabah’s rights and the best interest of the state and the people. For this, we share the GRS’ “Sabah First” core, which is a two-pronged approach that puts the rights and interests of Sabah as the top priorities and places importance on the various developments needed in Sabah.
5. PCS also shares the GRS’ commitment to strengthening Sabah’s push for local agendas on the national, regional and international level. It is our bigger responsibility to place the fight for the state’s interests as our number one priority.
6. PCS has been a relatively new party from the time I took over leadership about four years ago. During this period, the party has grown in strength, wisdom, and maturity. Our party leaders and members comprise of people from all walks of life, all of whom are driven by a genuine love for our beloved Sabah, hence the name of our party. The wealth of experience, knowledge, and skills they bring to PCS is priceless as we strive to make a difference to the lives of the people of Sabah, which is also the highest aim of the GRS.
7. I assure that PCS will work hard to ensure that the GRS will continue to strengthen its position as the political power bloc that Sabahans of all ethnicities and beliefs can identity themselves with; a force that they can put their faith and hope for generations to come.
8. Lastly, I recall the words of our Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hj Hajiji Hj Noor “Rumah Kita, Kitalah Yang Jaga” (We take care of our own house). For most Sabahans, his words give us goosebumps because they speak our hearts. For PCS, being accepted into the GRS family makes us feel like a coming home. And we shall take care of this house because this is our HOME.
