PUTRAJAYA: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) has held a meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at Perdana Putra here on Sunday (Nov 27), lasting for about an hour.

After the meeting, GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the Sabah-based coalition was there to express their support for Anwar's leadership and the formation of the new government.

"Our main aim was to express the Sabah government and GRS' undivided support to the Prime Minister," said Hajiji adding that Anwar deeply appreciated the gesture.

When asked if he had submitted the list of MPs from GRS for Cabinet posts, the Sabah Chief Minister said the matter was not discussed.

Anwar on Friday said the unity government had achieved a two-thirds majority with the GRS' participation.

Hajiji on the same day reportedly said the support and participation of Sabah political parties in the unity government led by Anwar would ensure stability and prosperity of the people in the state.

GRS comprises Bersatu, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR), Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) and Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Sabah Bersatu (Usno). – Bernama
