KOTA KINABALU: A political brawl seems to be brewing in the shadows between the two Kadazandusun-based parties in the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition.
Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and Sabah STAR are seen as competing with each other as they try to gain stronger ground in the Kadazandusun and Murut areas, triggering perceived manoeuvres of political one-upmanship.
The political cold war is believed to have started when Sabah STAR led by Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan took in PBS strongman Stephen Teo and made him the Sepanggar Sabah STAR division chief.
Though PBS did not directly respond to the pinching of its member, PBS president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili and other senior party members have gone on the move across the state to strengthen the party at its division levels.
