Showdown in Semporna


Political exit: Upset at being suspended by his party, Shafie (right) announced his resignation from Umno which also sacked Mukhriz (left) and Muhyiddin.

Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal’s dramatic exit from Umno has split political sentiments down the middle in his power base of Semporna but it has strengthened the hand of Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman who is his long-time nemesis.

FORMER Cabinet minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal was performing the umrah when news of his suspension from Umno reached him in Mecca.
