KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) views the decision to nominate Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor as the 16th Chief Minister of Sabah as most appropriate.

"The decision is consistent with PBS' proposal and stand during the course of the 16th State Election, while other parties made their decision based on the outcome of the just concluded election.

"We (PBS) are confident, with the support of members of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), that Hajiji will be able to execute his duties well," PBS president Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili said in a statement, adding that the Sabah Perikatan Nasional Chief, a seven-term assemblyman, has vast experience.

Maximus added that the party also believes that Hajiji would be able to honour the mandate given by the rakyat and lead Sabah and the state administration as the Chief Minister for all Sabahans.

He said PBS looked forward to working closely with Hajiji and offered the new Chief Minister their full support and cooperation to form the new Sabah Government.

"We are confident that through the formation of the new Sabah Government, under the GRS, we will be able to create new achievements and records that we can be proud of," he said.

Hajiji had earlier announced that GRS unanimously agreed for him to lead the state and the former is expected to be sworn in tomorrow at 10.30am.
