As both the Pairin brothers have accused each other of selling out KDM interests on the issue of illegal immigrants, does the partial truce between PBS and Star mean that they now agree that both have betrayed the KDM constituencies?

With four days to go to polling, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) have finally reached a partial truce beginning in at least two state seats.

As both the Pairin brothers , Joseph and Jeffrey, have accused each other of selling out KDM (Kadazan, Dusun and Murut) interests on the issue of illegal immigrants, does the partial truce between PBS and Star mean that they now agree that they have both betrayed the KDM constituencies?
