Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is not interested in getting sidetracked on advancing the state by the corruption scandal implicating their leaders, says its information chief Datuk Joniston Bangkuai.
Describing it as an “intended (act) to destabilise our focus”, Bangkuai said certain groups are threatened by the GRS-led government’s commitment to reform for the betterment of Sabah and its people.

00:00On the college rivalry, do you want to comment?
00:04Do you think it will affect the PRS's reputation at this time?
00:09I feel that I would like to respect the management of PRS
00:14The minister has made a statement that we should give to the authorities
00:25for the safety of the country.
00:34I think it is only proper that an investigation be carried out.
00:41Even the prime minister also has commented about the whistleblower
00:47whether he or she should be granted protection.
00:53It is a question of what is the motive of the whole thing as far as I am concerned.
00:58I think that is for the public to decide.
01:01The election is coming up.
01:03This government is doing very well.
01:06In terms of revenue, I think this year it will be more than 7 billion.
01:13Never before in the history of Sabah.
01:16Allocation for adults will probably be increased.
01:20Before this it was only 1 million, now it is 3 million.
01:24SMJ, Rumah SMJ 40 for next year.
01:28These are all good things.
01:30And the state government is doing everything that will probably bear result in the next 1 or 2 years.
01:36So, it raises some questions.
01:39If they are wrongdoings, and if you are convinced that they are wrongdoings,
01:44why go to the media?
01:46Why don't you go direct to SPRM?
01:49If you want to steal someone's house, will you tell the owner of the house,
01:54who stole your house?
01:56I mean, this is how I look at it.
01:59So, if we are sincere in solving these issues,
02:04not to go to the media.
02:10So, when you go to the media,
02:12it raises questions.
02:17Is it because this government is doing so well,
02:20that this is the only way you can
02:23you know,
02:25to damage the reputation,
02:28the power?
02:31I mean, we all know that support to the GRS is increasing.
02:35It is increasing.
02:37So, whatever it is, we will give it up.
02:40Like what was stated by Ahmad Omar,
02:44we will give it up.
02:45In fact, it is a policy.
02:48So that the policy will be complete.
02:51Complete.
02:54Do we expect an election because of this?
02:58Well, you know, this government is focused on...
03:01No, we still wait until October.
03:03Why do we waste time with all these things?
03:07What is in the media,
03:10all kinds of questions.
03:13Why don't we just focus?
03:15So, this is another thing.
03:17Is this all intended
03:20to destabilize
03:23our focus,
03:25so that we run away from
03:28our focus to build the country?
03:30This government is committed
03:33to bring changes.
03:34And this is what many people are worried about.
03:38Because they see that this government is doing very well.
03:41So, what else can you do?
03:43But, as the GRS,
03:46in your capacity as the GRS Information Chief,
03:48you know these evidences,
03:50all these recordings and audios are being released slowly by KINI.
03:54How is GRS going to deal with that situation?
03:57How are they going to debug or whatever accusation?
04:00Well, they are doing it now.
04:03They have said that they are going to release it in stages.
04:06So, let the authorities look into all this.
04:08But how is GRS going to react to this?
04:10Oh, we'll just focus on our job.
04:12Why must we be distracted with all this?
04:16Because our focus is to bring change.
04:19Our focus is to develop the state.
04:21To make changes for the people.
04:23This is a distraction.
04:26But, like what the Chief Minister said,
04:29leave it to the authorities to investigate.
