i. Fully supporting the stand of BERSATU Chairman .YABhg Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to not collaborate with UMNO.
ii. Returning the people’s mandate as had been given during the 14th General Election and back to work with Pakatan Harapan.
He said the decision was made based on the votes during the meeting and agreed by more than 2/3 of those who participated in the meeting and the rest did not make a decision without anyone objecting.
Isquzawan said Sabah Armada fully support the leadership of Bersatu President, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also the Prime Minister.
