KOTA KINABALU: Sabah STAR president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan took his seat among government backbenchers during the swearing-in ceremony and first sitting of the 17th State Legislative Assembly on Thursday (Dec 11) after insisting previously that his party would be in the opposition.
His placement in the government bloc drew attention as it came just nine days after he publicly stated that Sabah STAR would stay out of the ruling coalition following the party’s performance in the Nov 29 state election, when it won two seats.
