KOTA BARU, Jan. 26 -- The Sabah chapter of Islamist party PAS has reportedly expressed its desire to contest in the 17th Sabah state election due later this year.
Utusan Malaysia cited its vice-president Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah saying that however, the party's top leadership has not officially discussed the matter.
"So far there has been no official discussion, we only hear Sabah PAS's desire to contest.
