Umno reps change their mind about asking Bung to quit


KOTA KINABALU: The five Sabah Umno dissidents who called for Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin to step down as state Umno chairman softened their stand just two hours later. They retracted the call for him to quit but maintained their support for Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor as Sabah’s Chief Minister.

Yesterday, the five Barisan Nasional dissidents publicly declared their backing for Hajiji as the Chief Minister and called for Bung Moktar to quit at first.
