KOTA KINABALU: PKR is distancing itself from a former ally and moving forward to try and win back the people's confidence in the Sabah state election.

Sabah PKR chairman Datuk Christina Liew said the party understood that the people were angry after former Inanam assemblyman Kenny Chua allied himself with former chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman, but added that the incident shouldn't stop it from moving forward.

She personally experienced the wrath of a furious voter who scolded her during her walkabout in Gaya Street as she campaigned as the party's candidate for Api-Api on Sunday morning."Perhaps he was an Inanam voter and I can understand his frustration because they stood in line to vote for Kenny. But Kenny is a name of the past and we must move on," she said.

Liew admitted that this election would be challenging but she hopes for a renewed mandate from the people to continue her work for the betterment of her constituents.They are Matunggong, Tempasuk, Tamparuli, Inanam, Api-Api, Klias and Sook. Chua, a former Sabah PKR vice-president, is also putting in a bid to defend his seat but as an independent candidate this time.
