Members of Sabah s legal fraternity described him as one the state s best legal minds, especially on issues of state rights and the Constitution.
Sabah Law Society president Roger Chin described him as a giant of the Sabah law fraternity . Many members of the Sabah Bar will always remember him as a walking library of Sabah state laws, as he had the unique ability of being able to recall exactly how and why a piece of legislation came about as well as its finer details, Chin said.
