KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 28 — Melalap assemblyman Datuk Peter Anthony today announced his departure from Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) as its vice-president.
In the same breath, he said he is forming a new Sabah-based party together with Limbahau assemblyman Juil Nuatim, who was also from Warisan.
Anthony claimed Warisan had “strayed” from its original goal of fighting for Sabah rights by spreading its wings to peninsular Malaysia.
“Results in Sarawak’s state election showed they rejected the party from outside the state.
“So me and Limbahau assemblyman Juil Nuatim will leave Warisan and join the Sabah coalition party friendly with Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor,” Anthony told a news conference at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport earlier this morning.
