Warisan confident more BN leaders will join party
TAWAU: Parti Warisan Sabah vice-president Junz Wong is confident more leaders from Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties will join Warisan in a few months’ time.
Junz said he is looking at it very positively as the political scenario and environment is undergoing massive changes.
“The people in Sabah must realise that none of the national parties in West Malaysia can form a government without Sabah and Sarawak. Thus, all Sabahans must unite and grab the opportunity to regain Sabah’s autonomy and keep Umno out of Sabah,” he said.
“It is the right time now to regain back Sabah’s wealth, resources and welfare just like Sarawak. Warisan never intends to separate from Malaysia, but for Sabah, there is a dire need to regain back the glorious years of Sabah like in the 80s with its status of ‘ Sabah is rich’,” he added.
Junz believes that Sabahans could see it clearly and would be sensible to act in the next general election ( GE14) by voting for the betterment of Sabah.
“The mission of Warisan is not only to unite the opposition parties but to unite all Sabahans, including leaders from BN. We have gained overwhelming response from different races and religions in Sabah since we set up about two months.
“It is positive and encouraging to see the mission of Warisan coming true slowly with many leaders from BN and Umno leaving their party to join Warisan.
“Yet, it may not be strong enough to unite all Sabahans. We need a different formula/strategy, which is to think outside the box to gain the support of BN leaders to join Warisan or the opposition parties in order to have a chance of winning,” Junz pointed out during a press conference here on Saturday night.
