STAR strives to steal PBS’ thunder at Sabah polls with independent candidate salvo

“Since there were clashes between PBS and STAR, I then got this blessing to represent PN in Inanam,” said Chua, who said that Kitingan and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia leaders had endorsed him as a “PN-friendly independent”. The promotional poster used as a backdrop during Chua’s speech, despite depicting the chair logo as designated for independent candidates by the Election Commission, also now features the text “Perikatan Nasional Friendly” .

“I am a party loyalist. I got blessings to run from the party president once he knew that PBS was putting their candidates in places they were not supposed to. If I win, I will give the seat to STAR,” he said. Bound to a PN agreement where its components would only contest on a PN ticket, STAR would later place four of its candidates as independents in the KDM seats of Tandek, Matunggong, Bengkoka and Kiulu and two more “friendly independents” in Api Api and Inanam.
