(Borneo Insider) – Datuk Seri Panglima Lajim Hj. Ukin has no moral right to call for Kadamaian assemblyman Jeremy Malajad to vacate his seat.

This is because the PKR Sabah Chairman himself did not resign from the seats he held when he left PBS and UMNO previously.

And now it seems that the karma has come knocking on Lajim’s door as he now has to deal with defections from his own party.

This was the views expressed by some senior leaders of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).

“It is quite ironic. If you recall, Lajim himself has a history of defecting from political parties. He did that when he left PBS to join the BN, and more recently he left UMNO to join PKR just before the last general election,” said Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Pantai Manis Division Chief, Datuk Johnny Mositun (photo).

Noting that Lajim’s call was merely to discredit BN, Mositun said this nonetheless could not conceal the fact that many of those who supported the opposition in the last general election were beginning to realize that they had been misled into opposing the BN.

“First it was Hiew King Chiew of DAP who left and became an independent. Now it is Jeremy Malajad of PKR.

“I am inclined to believe the Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman, who said there is every possibility of other opposition assemblymen and their supporters leaving because they are disillusioned by the unrealistic and false promises of their leaders.

“Lajim should acknowledge his and the opposition’s weaknesses and shortcomings instead of blindly blaming BN,” said Mositun.
