Sabah's anti-power grab law outdated, says Yong


KOTA KINABALU: The proposal to remove an Article in Sabah’s Constitution to check on power grabs by losing parties should be scrapped and replaced with a more clear definition, says former chief minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee.

He said Article 6(7) that provides a guide for the Governor to appoint the leader of the party with the largest number of seats to be Chief Minister was no longer relevant and needs to be revamped.
