KOTA KINABALU: Amid rising calls for Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) to contest solo, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Api-Api Division vows to reclaim the N.20 Api-Api state seat.
PBS Api-Api Information Chief Yee Tsai Yiew said the division will go all out and actively plan to reclaim the Api-Api seat in the upcoming state elections.
According to her, the division has conducted its own research and strategic planning to find the best formula to achieve its goal.
“We firmly believe that PBS has a strong grassroot support and influence in Kota Kinabalu, particularly in the Api-Api constituency. We will continue to be the voice of the people, raising their concerns and focus on issues that matter to the grassroot, and more importantly defending the rights of Sabahans.”

She also highlighted the outstanding achievements of PBS senior leaders that have laid a strong foundation through their previous long term contributions to urban development and public welfare in Kota Kinabalu that has left a lasting legacy in mind of the people.
Yiew was speaking at the party’s joint annual general meeting for Likas, Luyang and Api-Api divisions at Hakka Hall here. The AGM was officiated by Labuan PBS Division Chief Datuk Peter Mak.
In preparation for the coming state election, Yiew said the division has launched various grassroots programmes, including the establishment of a PBS Api-Api office at Bandaran Berjaya, which serves as Community Service Centre to cater to all citizens needing assistance or wishing to voice their problems.
“This is a crucial step to strengthen our ties with the community. We must ensure that the people know PBS is always by their side,” Yiew pointed out.
Besides welfare services, the division is also focusing on talent development, planning various leadership training and skill enhancement courses for its members and also youth, striving to nurture a new generation of responsible and capable political successors.
