Rural and Regional Development Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has denied that Prime Minister Najib Razak ordered the arrest of Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) president Shafie Apdal.

Ismail Sabri also denied that MACC's operation in Sabah was aimed at crippling Warisan ahead of the next general election...
