Kota Kinabalu: Both opposition Parti KDM and Parti Warisan downplayed the formal electoral collaboration between Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and Parti Solidariti Rakyat Sabah (Star) for the next state election.
In the November 1999 federal election, PBS only managed 3 parliamentary seats, a far cry from the 8 seats that it won in 1995 and 14 in 1990. The 3 seats were in Bandau (Dr Max), Tanjong Aru (Dr Yee Moh Chai) and Tan Sri Pairin (Keningau). The trio was seen as the Flagship Carrier of PBS.
