In announcing this, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the decision was made after chairing a cabinet meeting today. "We have decided that the PSS be scrapped after listening to the people not just in Kimanis but the state also. To a question whether there would be other recommendations to replace PSS, Shafie said that would be up to the Home Ministry to decide. "At the state level, it is our view that it has to be terminated. Shafie, who is also president of Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) reiterated the Warisan-led state government would continue to serve the Kimanis parliament constituency although the party lost the by-election.
