Pressure mounts on Shafie to keep Warisan reps from leaving

KOTA KINABALU: The sudden decision by Parti Warisan Sabah's Sebatik assemblyman to leave the party has sparked speculation that more opposition lawmakers will cross over in support of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) state government.
Hassan Gani Amir's overnight move placed pressure on Warisan as talk surfaced that GRS, led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, aims to secure a two-thirds majority of 53 representatives in the 79-member state assembly.
GRS and its partners currently command a comfortable 47 seats in the house through the coalition comprising Sabah Barisan Nasional, Perikatan Nasional, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and PAS, as well three independents.
