00:03 The ongoing leadership crisis in Sabah PKR will tarnish its image

00:08 and may drive away its supporters ahead of the next state election.

00:12 Vilca Bala from University Malaysia Sabah said

00:16 the party's disillusioned grassroots members

00:18 might also defect to Parti Kagasan Rakyat Sabah

00:21 led by Chief Minister Haji J. Nur.

00:24 There is a choice of party closer to their hearts

00:28 which is Kagasan Rakyat.

00:30 This has a big impact on all national parties from Malaya.

00:34 I believe that in the next state polls,

00:38 local political issue will be more favourable in Sabah.

00:43 Vilca said these grassroots members will be attracted by Kagasan Rakyat's promise

00:47 of a rejuvenation of local politics.

00:50 On March 17, Kota Marudup PKR Chief Sazali Dono

00:54 announced that the heads of 15 of the party's 26 divisions in Sabah

00:58 wanted Sangka Razam to resign as the state party leader.

01:02 However, Sabah Pakatan Harapan Chief Christina Liu downplayed the crisis

01:06 asserting that the party wouldn't break as it had faced similar challenges before.

01:11 Political analyst James Chin of University of Tasmania however said

01:15 the crisis would not only damage PKR's standing in Sabah

01:18 but also tarnish its reputation at the national level.

01:22 People are saying that how come Anwar cannot control even though he's the

01:26 Prime Minister.

01:27 However, O E San of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs

01:31 disagrees saying this matter would not

01:33 significantly impact PKR's chances in the Sabah polls.

01:37 He said PKR's past electoral success had more to do with PH's influence

01:41 than the party's own standing.
