PENAMPANG: Having a single party to rule a state or government is nothing new as Sabah is one of the three states in Malaysia which have done that.

"It is possible ... there are only three states in Malaysia which have had a single party government. Sabah during Berjaya and PBS as well as PAS in Kelantan and Terengganu. It has happened before and it can happen again," Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee said.
