KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS)'s membership in the Barisan Nasional (BN) Government is very important to the country's political stability, especially in Sabah, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.

As the second largest party in the Sabah BN Government, PBS has leaders and members who are experienced, dedicated and matured in the country's political arena, Abdullah, who is also BN Chairman, said in his message in conjunction with PBS 20th general assembly.

He said the qualitative attributes and vast experience of PBS leaders and members had enhanced the solidarity and strength of the BN in the State's politics as well as in the development of the people of Sabah.

"I believe PBS will continue to play its role as a catalyst in realising the country's vision and bring greater heights of success for the people, especially in Sabah," he said.

He also said the concept of co-operation and power sharing in the BN should continue to be maintained for the future wellbeing of the people and country.

"I hope PBS leaders and members, together with the rest of Sabahans, will continue to strive to enhance unity and understanding," he added.
