Sabah's 1985 'power grab' may be repeated with removal of article from state constitution, says Warisan leader


KOTA KINABALU: The removal of Article 6(7) from the Sabah Constitution will open up possibilities for the “1985 power grab” to repeat itself, says a Parti Warisan supreme council member.

Chin Ket Chiun said Article 6(7) was introduced by the Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) government under former chief minister Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan after the 1985 state elections.
