The new coalition planned to include the United Sabah Party (PBS), Homeland Solidarity Party (STAR) and remnants of other Sabah BN members,[1][2] mainly from Sabah-based United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) members led by Musa Aman to join PBS.[3][4] To this date however, there is still no confirmation from other Sabah BN members have join PBS.[5][6]
