PRN Sabah: "Kami menganggapnya sebagai satu pertembungan mesra" - PBS

Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) menyifatkan pertembungan antara sekutu gabungan Barisan Nasional (BN) dan Perikatan Nasional (PN) serta parti itu di 17 kerusi pada Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) ke-16 sebagai satu "pertembungan mesra."

Timbalan Presiden PBS Datuk Seri Radin Malleh berkata parti itu melihat perkembangan ini secara positif dan akan memperkukuh kedudukan PN di Sabah.

"Kami menganggapnya sebagai satu pertembungan mesra. Apa yang penting ialah parti komponen PN memenangi semua kerusi yang ditandingi," menurut Pengarah Operasi Pilihan Raya PBS itu dalam satu kenyataan.

Beliau mengakui semua usaha telah dilakukan bagi mengelak berlakunya pertembungan itu namun ia sesuatu yang sukar.

Radin sendiri bertanding di kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Melalap yang menyaksikan persaingan enam penjuru membabitkan BN, Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS), Parti Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Sabah Bersatu (USNO), Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) dan Parti Demokratik Liberal (LDP).

Beliau berkata perkara itu telah dibangkitkan dalam beberapa pertemuan berhubung pengagihan kerusi yang menyaksikan terdapat pertindihan kerusi dengan parti sekutu lain.

BN akan bertembung dengan sekutunya PN dan PBS di 17 daripada 73 kerusi pada PRN Sabah iaitu Bengkoka, Telupid, Lumadan, Matunggong, Tandek, Kadamaian, Kapayan, Karamunting, Melalap, Sook, Bingkor, Moyog, Tulid, Paginatan, Liawan, Tambunan dan Tanjung Aru.

Sementara itu, usaha Bernama untuk menghubungi Pengerusi BN Sabah Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin dan Pengerusi Bersatu Sabah Datuk Hajiji Noor tidak berhasil.

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
