The existence of SDs by government assemblymen shows major underlying problems in the Warisan-led alliance, claims Yong Teck Lee. FMTNews SAPP Sabah ShafieApdal
SAPP president Yong Teck Lee claims Warisan is the ‘ground zero’ of defections, with defectors from Barisan Nasional joining Warisan.
“It is unprecedented that a sitting chief minister, who claims to have a two-thirds majority in the state assembly, has to make his own assembly members sign SDs to support himself as chief minister,” he said in a statement here today. Yesterday, Inanam assemblyman Kenny Chua had denied he had switched allegiance from the Warisan-Upko-DAP-PKR ruling coalition to the opposition by signing an SD.
He said at the national level, PH parties DAP and PKR supported the national opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim as the candidate.“It will not be long before this tension within PH and Warisan come to a final clash leading to the breakup of the Warisan-led alliance in Sabah.” “Indeed, the Warisan-led Sabah government is made possible only because of the defection of elected reps from BN.
