KOTA KINABALU: Delegates of the state's oldest political party - Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) - will discuss the possibility of a merger with fellow native-based Sabah STAR over the weekend.

Leaders of PBS, who have remained non-committal over the merger, are leaving their delegates at the 38th party congress to decide on a mechanism that might see a decision for a merger or closer working relations with Sabah STAR led by Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

Dr Gunsalam, who is Deputy Chief Minister II, said that PBS as a member of the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah already had a working relationship with the Sabah STAR who was also a component of GRS. He said the political situation in Sabah was no longer like the past where one single party could rule the state.

"This approach is very important so that we convey it to the grassroots level so that there is no confusion among PBS and GRS supporters," he said.
