Labuan: Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) is gearing up to support party candidates in the Sabah state election while working to strengthen the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition’s presence and community engagement in Labuan.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Labuan PGRS division chief Rosli Awang Damit stated that with the state election looming, the division has established an operations room to coordinate support for Labuan-based voters returning to Sabah. The division will also deploy party machinery to strategic constituencies.

Rosli emphasized that beyond assisting local voters, Labuan PGRS will actively contribute to the party’s campaign in Sabah by deploying their machinery to key constituencies. He shared these insights following the party’s 3rd Annual Conference.

He reflected on the progress Labuan PGRS has made since its inception, overcoming initial challenges and scepticism through consistent efforts and sincerity in championing the people’s interests. Rosli noted that acceptance was initially difficult, but perseverance has led more people to support their core values, which include integrity, people-first policies, and genuine development.

The division has established 22 active branches with more than 3,000 members. Rosli highlighted that six new branches submitted membership forms during the conference, indicating growing public trust. He credited grassroots leaders for driving the party’s growth and commended the youth and women’s wings for their vital contributions.
