YESTERDAY, it didn’t rain in the east coast town of Tawau in Sabah when Sebatik assemblyman Hassan Gani Pg Amir of Parti Warisan Sabah announced that he had jumped to be an independent.
Part of the Sebatik state constituency is on the island of Sebatik, which is visible from Tawau town and is shared by Malaysia and Indonesia.
Hassan, a first-term assemblyman who won his seat by a 522-majority, gave the standard operating procedure (SOP) reason for jumping. He said he quit Warisan because the party prioritised politics over the well-being of the rakyat.
There was not much protest by Warisan over the jump. When it was in power, the party encouraged and allowed ten political frogs to join it.
