.anwaribrahim praises Hajijinoor for ‘political silat’ to stay in power, keep Sabah govt intact

Anwar, on his first official visit to Sabah as prime minister, said he was impressed with the soft-spoken Hajiji’s political astuteness that has stabilised the state’s political landscape with his two-thirds majority in the state government. “Hajiji, even though he is known to be mild-mannered, has used some ‘silat’ moves and stayed in power and even has a majority now,” said Anwar during his address to the state’s civil service here.

Bung Moktar also claimed that Hajiji is not legally fit to stay as the chief minister because he had become “party-less” after he and a number of politicians left Sabah Bersatu en masse to join the unity government last year. The coup, however, did not come to pass when Hajiji managed to get support from 44 assemblymen including GRS , Pakatan Harapan , Umno , Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah, PAS and an independent with one each to form the new state Cabinet.
