Unity within the party is crucial for us to continue moving forward as a strong team," she said, also emphasizing that PKR members in Sabah are ready to help strengthen the party at the grassroots level and support efforts to champion the reform agenda.
Mohd Azrul Mohd Taib, 39, from PKR Sepanggar Branch said that in line with the call, Sabah PKR needs to focus on local issues in facing the upcoming state election.
