Shahelmey to serve suspension as Umno member

KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Chief Minister III Datuk Shahelmey Yahya, who broke ranks by siding with the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) earlier this year in a failed coup, says he remains a member of Umno and will sit out his six-year suspension.

The Putatan MP and Tanjung Keramat assemblyman, however, said until now he had yet to be officially informed about his suspension apart from the statement made by Sabah Umno chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin in April.
