Kota Kinabalu: The State Legislative Assembly (DUN) should consider suspending Warisan’s Tungku Assemblyman Assafal P. Alian for his incorrect and misleading statement in the dewan that the Federal and State governments had handed over the oil-rich Ambalat block in the Sulawesi Sea to Indonesia.
KOTA KINABALU: It’s best for former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas to explain the controversial 2019 letter to lawyers of the self-proclaimed Sulu heirs expressing Malaysia’s willingness to meet the arrears of "cession" payments, says Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.
KOTA KINABALU: Warisan has filed a suit in the High Court on Wednesday (April 7) against Sebatik assemblyman Hassan Gani Amir, seeking a decision to compel him to vacate the seat as pledged prior to the election.
The writ of summon was delivered to Hassan s residence in Manggatal here by Warisan s lawyers Liaw Kee Siong, just two days after Hassan submitted his membership application to join Sabah Bersatu.
Among other declarations being sought from the courts was a declaration that Hassan breached his oath to remain with Warisan until the end of the term of the current assembly.
In court documents, Warisan claimed that Hassan was picked as a candidate for Warisan, on the condition that he remained loyal to the party.
Hassan Amir Gani.
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Assembly Speaker Datuk Kadzim Yahaya has rejected a pre-signed letter from Hassan Amir Gani stating he would be stepping down as Sebatik assemblyman.
With the Speaker s decision, Hassan, who left Parti Warisan Sabah to support Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), remains as Sebatik assemblyman. I have perused the letter of resignation handed over by Parti Warisan Sabah and the statutory declaration by Sebatik assemblyman revoking all that he agreed with Warisan. I have decided that there is no vacancy in the Sebatik seat, because a pre-signed undated resignation is void and against public policy, as far as the law stands now.
