PETALING JAYA: Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS), which has recently been admitted to Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), intends to bring foreign universities to the state to provide youths quality education opportunities, says its president, Anifah Aman.

Anifah said this is part of the party’s fight for Sabah’s rights.

In a statement released by PCS in conjunction with its general assembly, he said the party was committed to the rights of Sabah’s people as well as the state’s political stability.

Earlier, addressing the party delegates, Anifah underscored the importance of economic, educational, health, and infrastructure advancements, emphasising that these goals could only be achieved if Sabah’s rights under the Federal Constitution are fulfilled.

“PCS is committed to serving the people and fighting for Sabah’s rights, particularly the full implementation of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 as enshrined in the Federal Constitution,” he said.

Anifah, who is also the Invest Sabah Bhd chairman, commended the state government for its programme to train and employ hardcore poor youths, a dual-purpose effort to eradicate poverty and create job opportunities.

He reiterated the need for Sabah to receive 40% of the federal revenue collected in the state, which would significantly boost local development projects.

It was reported last month that PCS had been officially accepted into GRS, making it the eighth component party in the ruling coalition.

GRS secretary-general Masidi Manjun said the other component parties unanimously agreed to accept PCS’s application submitted by Anifah.
