KOTA KINABALU:
Warisan president Shafie Apdal has not discounted the idea of contesting in the coming Johor state elections.

He said he has communicated with Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman to assess the situation on the ground. “We must prepare if we decide to contest,” he told reporters after a Warisan event here tonight.

He said the party, which spread its wings to the peninsula last December, has many supporters in Pasir Gudang and Johor Bahru, where many Sabahans and Sarawakians reside.

“But we are not only depending on them,” he said.

“I just wish a general election can be called rather than us spending money going from one state to another,” Shafie said.
