Rift purportedly forming within Sabah Umno after failed takeover


KOTA KINABALU: There appears to be a falling-out within Sabah Umno after a purported move to unseat the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor fizzled out.

It is speculated that Sabah Barisan Nasional chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin, who is also Lamag assemblymen, had led a meeting with Umno's 16 other Sabah assemblymen at 4.30pm on Thursday (Jan 5) to discuss a possible takeover of the state government with Parti Warisan.
