Whistleblowing or political moves?


WHEN observing the political scandal playing out in Sabah, note that the secretly filmed videos are a sideshow. The main show is the power play to bring down Sabah’s Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

The video exposé of YBs (assemblymen) talking about receiving bribes with a businessman claiming to be a whistleblower is juicy. That’s the “noise” (perception game) the public sees. But juicier still are the silent moves afoot to bring down Hajiji.
