BN feeling the heat from ‘exposures’ in Sabah
(FMT) The state BN is feeling the heat from a sustained barrage of flak from the opposition over its mis-management of Sabah.
BN coalition member, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), has been sufficiently goaded to respond to what it calls “bombing” by the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).
PBS claims that all the uncomfortable government deals exposed by SAPP were “old issues”.
“Yong (Teck Lee, SAPP president) is issuing misleading statements on old issues to discredit Joseph Pairin Kitingan and the state government,” PBS’ Johnny Mositun said Monday.
He said SAPP is digging up these old issues to discredit the BN government because it lacks an original platform.
In doing so, SAPP has also presented these issues in a misleading light, especially where they bring to fore the matter of guilt by association, added Mositun.
“He (Yong) is conveniently ignoring the fact that in all instances he was a senior member of the administration and privy to all that went on.
“Why didn’t he speak up then if he felt strongly about these issues?” he asked.
Mositun who is also the deputy speaker was responding to Yong’s recent comments on the sale of Sabah Forest Industries (SFI) 17 years ago and a minerals prospecting license issued by Pairin to an Australian firm that covered several parts of Sabah including the now protected Maliau Basin.
