“So, I hope this is an appreciation to all the people who carried out their responsibility for them to realise a group of elected representatives...to represent the people at Sabah state level...we will continue to honour the trust given by the people

“What I want to say is that the biggest single party is Warisan,” he told reporters early this morning at Rumah Yayasan Sabah in Likas near here.
