Under pressure, PBS president Pairin Kitingan swears that he "never stopped fighting" for Sabahans' future including championing "Article 20 of the Malaysia Agreement and oil royalties." |
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan under heavy pressure from his Umno-Barisan Nasional bosses to reel-in his younger and politically ‘wayward’ brother Jeffrey, called him a ‘liar’ and lumped him together with other ‘lying opposition leaders’.
Pairin, who is president of Parti Bersatu Sabah, said his party had “never stopped fighting” for the people.
“”PBS never stopped fighting for the people’s future including Article 20 of Malaysia Agreement and oil royalties…,” he said alluding to Jeffrey’s consistent claim that the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, of which PBS is a member, had failed to uphold the terms of the 1963 agreement.
