'umnoonline's suspension of Shahelmy a shot across political rivals’ bow'
Although calling the suspension unsurprising, they said it was still a clear message to Gabungan Rakyat Sabah chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, who is also the state’s chief minister. “Umno will never give up. Certainly, it is a threat to Hajiji. They are a big and powerful party and are not willing to be followers. They are confident that they’ll come back strong and political developments in the Peninsula are their main motivator,” said Universiti Teknologi Mara’s Tony Paridi Bagang.
“They’re nervous at the prospect of losing the seat because they will have to go against Pakatan Harapan, GRS and Warisan for the seat,” he said. He also said most parties were not keen on a by-election as they must focus on other priorities such as the six state elections due soon in six peninsular states. However, Lee said that the ripple effects of the suspension was evident during the party’s election last weekend.
