PENAMPANG, May 7 — DAP has condemned alleged saboteurs for planting the flags of the ally Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) in Sabah to bring down Pakatan Harapan.

Its campaign director for Kapayan, Adrian Banie Lasimbang, said his party discovered the flags among DAP and Parti Warisan Sabah’s campaign materials within the vicinity of Dongonggon town here.

"I was also alerted that some PPBM flags were also hung in other places such as in front of the KDCA Hall where the campaigns for Penampang BN candidates took place the day before,” he said.

Lasimbang said that the party had not placed any of the flags out and did not know who was responsible for the "cowardly” act.

"This insidious act of placing a currently unregistered political party flag associated with its de facto leader, Mahathir was intended to instigate hatred towards our political party and candidates,” he said, referring to PH chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

"As if playing with sentiments were not enough to mislead voters by hanging PPBM’s flags around our materials, PPBM is not even contesting in any Parliament or state seats in Sabah.”

All parties in PH are using PKR’s logo and flags for the election and campaigning.

PH is also working with Warisan in the East Malaysia state.
