KOTA KINABALU: A war of words erupted between Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau of Upko and two Sabah Umno assemblymen at the state legislative assembly sitting on Tuesday (Aug 14).

The verbal exchange, which took place during a sitting chaired by deputy speaker Datuk Ahmad Abdul Rahman, started when Sulaman assemblyman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor referred to Madius, the president of Upko, as his "friend who ran to the other side" while presenting his supplementary question on the state Government's promise to create 600,000 jobs by 2023.
