He was sworn in as one of three Sabah deputy ministers this morning.



'I myself acknowledge that I will continue to work as opposition' - Warisan Plus assemblyperson.

''As much as I hate to see Umno come into power… it's not right to encourage frog behaviour," - DAP assemblyperson.

This is after both BN and PN cannot agree on the chief ministerial candidate.
