KOTA KINABALU: Two Pakatan Harapan leaders and two Barisan Nasional dissidents from Umno have been brought into Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor's new Cabinet on Wednesday (Jan 11) as he moves to end a five-day political crisis following Barisan’s withdrawal of support for his government.

He named Tanjung Keramat assemblyman Datuk Shahelmey Yahya as Deputy Chief Minister III (DCM III) and Works Minister, replacing Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin who led the pullout on Jan 5.
