KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah chapter of Star was launched here today with the announcement that it has managed to gain 60,000 new members in just three weeks.
A crowd of about 4,000 mostly men, received the announcement at an almost packed Hongkod Koisaan Hall in Penampang near here, with a burst of applause.
All ardent supporters of maverick politician Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, they greeted the news as confirmation that their hero would once again be catapulted to new political heights in the up-coming general election.
