KOTA KINABALU, Jan 9 -- Member of the Tanjung Keramat State Assembly from the National Front Datuk Ir. Shahelmey Yahya fills out the attendance form to attend the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah party meeting at the Sabah Chief Minister’s official residence in Sri Gaya today.
The State Community Development and People’s Wellbeing Minister said all five of them had never issued any statements on any such possibility.“I strongly deny the news report. It was reported without our knowledge and it also appears to be malicious and deliberately exaggerated,” he said in a statement tonight.
Besides Shahelmy, the four other BN assemblymen who are backing Hajiji in helming the state government are Assistant Finance Minister Datuk Jasnih Daya , Assistant Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Datuk James Ratib , Datuk Dr Yusof Yacob and Datuk Mohd Arsad Bistari . On Friday, Bung Moktar announced that Umno and Sabah BN were withdrawing support for Hajiji as they had lost confidence in the latter’s position as Chief Minister and that there was a breach of an agreement between BN and Perikatan Nasional .
However, the next day, the five assemblymen were among 44 Sabah assemblymen who pledged their support for Hajiji to remain as Chief Minister. - Bernama
