Fickle-minded Jeffrey does a U-turn again
(Free Malaysia Today) – KOTA KINABALU: Maverick Sabah politician Jeffrey Kitingan has done another U-turn on his aides over his resignation from PKR.
A day after Jeffrey’s deputy in the Kadazan-Dusun-Murut Task Force in Sabah PKR, Daniel John Jambun, in a show of support said he and the rest of the task force committee members would quit PKR en bloc, Jeffrey denied he would do so.
The former PKR vice-president, who is now just an ordinary party member, said through an aide, Guandee Kohoi, that he has not quit the party “yet”.
Jeffrey’s denial has thrown his “inner circle” of loyal supporters, who were believed to have copies of his resignation letter to party president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, into disarray.
Sources within the circle are not amused and have described Jeffrey’s latest stunt as “typical” of the wavering politician.
“This is not funny anymore. It’s typical Jeffrey and his fickle mind. I think he wants to do some last- minute bargaining with Anwar (Ibrahim, PKR de facto leader).
“While I admire Jeffrey’s patience,he is allowing others to weaken him, to the detriments of his own struggle to ensure Sabah and Sarawak are heard and their wishes complied with. How many times must he be lied to before he realises and acts?” said a source, referring to Jeffrey’s quest for Borneonisation and autonomy for Sabah and Sarawak through his newly-formed United Borneo Front.
