KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's political temperature is rising amid talk that Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, may lose its majority in the 79-member assembly.
Political circles speculate that Sabah Barisan, led by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, was posturing to pull out its support for Hajiji.
Bung has not commented on the talk but a senior Sabah Barisan official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the current"GRS-Barisan government is still functioning but things can happen." Masidi, who is the state's Local Government and Housing Minister as well as Finance Minister 2, said certain quarters have claimed to have the support of more than half of the assemblymen to enable another group to form a new state government.
However, GRS officials have maintained that he is the rightful Chief Minister as he was still the GRS coalition chairman and commanded the majority in assembly.
