After stir over portfolio change, Bung gets infrastructure ministry


KOTA KINABALU: There was a slight stir over the change of portfolio for Sabah Umno chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin barely an hour after he was sworn in as a Deputy Chief Minister and Sabah's Local Government and Housing Minister.

Sources close to Bung said that it had been agreed earlier that Bung would be made Infrastructure Development Minister, but just before the swearing-in ceremony before Yang DiPertua Negeri, he discovered that he had instead been given the Local Government and Housing portfolio.
