Unity For The People Of Sabah

Unity for the sake of the party and the struggle for the people of Sabah, continues to be the cornerstone of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).

PBS president Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan paid tribute to the leaders, members and supporters of the party for their unwavering and undivided loyalty to PBS and its struggle.

"It is the perseverance and faith of the members and supporters that have seen PBS through thick and thin and going from strength to strength all these years," he said at the 'Unity Night' dinner last night held in conjunction with the party's 26th Congress.

The congress was opened earlier in the day by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The party president also attributed the commitment of PBS members to the spirit of cooperation within the Barisan Nasional to the party's ability to effectively serve and look after the interest of the people.

"This Malam Bersatu or Unity Night is also a celebration of our unity and a time for us to strengthen our bond in an informal atmosphere," he added.

Pairin also presented cash prizes to three divisions which recorded the highest number of new members during the party's 1PBS membership drive launched last year. The three divisions were Matunggong, Sook and Tambunan which won RM3,000, RM2,000 and RM1,000 respectively.
