KOTA KINABALU: The appointments of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri as Deputy Prime Minister and Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein as Senior Minister (Security) will further strengthen the Perikatan Nasional-led government, say political parties in Sabah.
Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili said the appointments were timely and fitting, especially in meeting the current needs of the country as it faces enormous challenges from the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The new appointments will also further strengthen the stability of the Perikatan government, and PBS will continue to work closely with both leaders at the federal and state levels.
“The new Deputy Prime Minister (Ismail Sabri) is the right person for the task as he has performed well as Senior Minister in the last one year,” added the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Sabah and Sarawak Affairs).
