Report on Hajiji, Bung meeting Sabah governor ‘false’
The Sabah deputy chief minister’s office has dismissed a report that Chief Minister Hajiji Noor and Deputy Chief Minister Bung Moktar Radin met with Yang Dipertua Negri of Sabah Juhar Mahiruddin yesterday. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, October 17, 2022.
Press secretary Jaafar Abd Wahid said in a statement today that the clip was from the state elections in 2020, but the date had been deliberately cropped to mislead readers. “I received several calls and messages questioning the validity of the news. I had breakfast with Bung Moktar at his residence before sending him in the afternoon to Kota Kinabalu International Airport to catch a flight to Kuala Lumpur.
The clip has raised questions on the status of the assembly following rumours that some GRS assemblymen would join their Bandau colleague Wetrom Bahanda in leaving the party.
