Shafie preempts takeover


KOTA KINABALU: Caretaker Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal seemed to have pulled the rug out from under the feet of his political nemesis Tan Sri Musa Aman who tried to take over the reins of the state government through a spate of defections.

Shafie managed to get Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin to consent to dissolve the state assembly to pave the way for a snap state election within 60 days from yesterday.
