KOTA KINABALU: Umno is in a dilemma over what to do about its five assemblymen who sided with Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor in the state’s recent political crisis, says an analyst.
Universiti Malaysia Sabah senior lecturer Dr Romzi Ationg, however, said the party has no choice but to give the five the boot or risk losing the confidence of other members, even if sacking them would reduce the number of Sabah Barisan Nasional-Umno assemblymen in the state assembly as well as weaken the party in the process.
