00:00 A Sabah UMNO assemblyman has voiced doubt that a partnership with Warisan would benefit

00:08 the party as speculation continues over political alliances amid talk of an early state election.

00:15 The assemblyman, who declined to be named, said UMNO was better off joining the ruling

00:19 Gabungan Rakyat Sabah or exiting Sabah altogether.

00:23 He said the sentiment now favors local parties, adding that it did not help that Sabah UMNO

00:28 was split between those who supported Chief Minister Hajiji Noor and those who did not.

00:33 Speaking to FMT, the UMNO leader said this was why he believed UMNO should take a step

00:38 back if it did not want to work with GRS.

00:42 This way, the party could still be on good terms and work with GRS at the federal level,

00:47 similar to UMNO's arrangement with Gabungan Party Sarawak.

00:50 Another Sabah UMNO leader agreed that working with Warisan was not the right move for the

00:55 party.

00:56 The leader, who also declined to be named, said even though he was aligned with Sabah

01:00 UMNO Chief Bung Mukhtar Raiden, he believed the party's best option was to join forces

01:05 with GRS, adding that if UMNO went solo, the party risked losing more ground in Sabah.
