PARTI Warisan is ready to work with any political coalition that wins the next general election to ensure political stability and safeguard the interests of the people of this country, Warisan president Mohd Shafie Apdal said.

The Semporna MP said the winning party is chosen by the people, adding that by co-operating, Warisan is showing that it respects the people’s choice.

However, he said it should be a smart and fair collaboration, and most importantly it puts the interests of the people above all else.

“Whether (the winning party is) BN (Barisan Nasional), Perikatan Nasional or Pakatan Harapan, when the people have made a decision we have to respect, we cannot just deny their rights, but I reject the Sheraton Move, jump here and there because it is not the people’s mandate.

“After the election, the people want political stability but there must be a smart co-operation,” he said through an online sharing session on his Facebook page last night.

Meanwhile, Shafie said that Warisan’s move to spread its wings to the peninsula would not change its original mandate to defend the people and the state of Sabah.

“We must integrate with the whole of Malaysia… I am from Sabah but my wife is from Kedah. We are building a nation, a political coalition that has been divided for decades may need a breath of fresh air from the east (to unite),” he said. – Bernama, June 26, 2022.
