KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan has denied claims in a viral video that he was conspiring against Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor in the alleged corruption scandal implicating several Sabah assemblymen.
The Deputy Chief Minister and Sabah STAR president said he and his party fully backed Hajiji to be Chief Minister after the 2020 state election, and their support has not wavered despite various challenges.“No such conspiracy exists or has ever existed,” he said in a statement on Friday .
The clip, just over a minute long, made the rounds on social media recently and claimed Kitingan was behind the spread of a host of videos implicating Sabah assemblymen in a mineral prospecting licence scandal.ALSO READ:The Sabah STAR president said the referenced screenshot of a text message, supposedly from Nov 1, took a fragment of a conversation entirely out of context to falsely support the accusation.
He said the allegations appeared timed to coincide with recent unfounded accusations against the Sabah government, with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission also investigating the matter.“I remain firmly committed to fostering unity, political stability and the continued development of Sabah.“Any attempt to drive a wedge between leaders working toward a better Sabah will not succeed,” he said.
