On Saturday, the results of Sabah’s 17th state elections were revealed after a very crowded race. This was followed with the quick installation of GRS Chairman, Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor as Chief Minister early Sunday morning. We discuss the election outcome with our panel, Ibrahim Suffian, Co-Founder & Programme Director of Merdeka Center, and Ariff Adi Putera Anwar, Research Associate at the Institute for Development Studies Sabah and how this changes the state's relationship with the Federal government.
