Love hurts, Anwar says on Sabah
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim quipped that love is both pleasant and sorrowful when asked to comment on the "love triangle" in Sabah between Pakatan Harapan, BN and GRS.
Despite BN and GRS being at odds with each other, Anwar is keen to secure concessions to avoid three-cornered fights.
Meanwhile, an advocate for GRS contesting solo is now pointing fingers at Sabah Star president Jeffrey Kitingan for stoking anti-peninsula sentiments.

MIC open for suitors
MIC appears to have grown tired of its relationship with BN.
Party president SA Vigneswaran said MIC is ready to negotiate with any party for its future and the well-being of the Indian community.
This came amid barbs from Umno and DAP at MIC, after party deputy president M Saravanan said MIC was being sidelined by the government.
