IN the middle of last month, all of a sudden the United Sabah National Organisation (Usno) was accepted into Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), a coalition of the State’s governing parties including PBS but excluding Umno and its BN partners.
I say all of a sudden because in the waiting list are three other Sabah political parties – KDM, LDP and PCS. But only Usno was accepted

Stephens dissolves Upko for bumiputra unity
1967: The United Pasokmomogun Kadazan Organisation (Upko) was dissolved at a five-hour Party congress at the Community Centre that was attended by more than 400 representatives throughout Sabah.
Its President Donald Stephens (pic) said the only road to bumiputra unity was to have one bumiputra Party and called on members to follow him in joining Usno.
He also suggested there be only one bumiputra Party for the whole of Malaysia and pledged loyalty to Usno President Tun Datu Mustapha, Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, Deputy Tun Razak and the Alliance leaders.
He hoped the Sabah Indian Congress (SIC) and the Sabah Chinese Association (SCA) will help Upko return to the Sabah Alliance as Usno members.
Dato Ganie Gilong seconded the motion. Secretary-General Peter Mojuntin said he agreed only because he was convinced bumiputra unity was the key to future happiness, peace and prosperity of Sabahans.
