Sabah chief throws tantrums at PKR meet?
By: JOE FERNANDEZ, Sabahkini
SABAH'S PKR top gun apparently, Azmin Ali blew his top over a memorandum from Kota Kinabalu tabled at a party national political bureau meeting in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday which described his leadership performance as ‘shoddy’, according to insiders. 
The memorandum was tabled together with a news report on a recent informal meeting of 16 Sabah division chiefs on Tuesday night.
Azmin, according to the insiders, wanted the heads of the 16 who had signed the memorandum complaining about "his shoddy performance as Sabah state chief".
They, it was noted, subsequently convened a meeting in Kota Kinabalu on Oct 7 to express "no confidence in his leadership", among others.
"He was throwing tantrums all over the place," said one highly placed source. "Even Ketua Umum (de facto leader) Anwar Ibrahim had a tough time restraining him during the meeting."
It appears that Azmin was blaming almost everybody in Sabah, PKR vice-president Jeffrey Kitingan in particular, except himself for the contents of the memorandum which he strenuously rejected.
At least 16 of the 18 division chiefs who signed the memorandum want Kitingan to replace Azmin as Sabah state chief.
Finally, the meeting resolved that senior PKR leader and lawyer Zaid Ibrahim be dispatched to Sabah on Oct 17 on a trouble-shooting mission ostensibly under the guise of attending a hastily-arranged Aidil Fitri function.
