Hajiji: Videos likely intended to weaken Sabah govt

Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor believes the release of incriminating videos against pro-government state representatives was aimed at weakening his administration.

This came after a whistleblower, who is a businessperson, unveiled a fourth recording yesterday that suggested Hajiji (above) was aware of alleged kickbacks received by elected representatives in the state.

The clip featured a conversation between the whistleblower and Deputy Chief Minister Shahelmey Yahya, who also serves as the state’s works minister.

However, Hajiji reportedly told reporters in Kota Kinabalu yesterday evening that he has yet to watch the latest video clip.

“I cannot comment. I will let the relevant authorities investigate this issue, as it seems to have certain motives.

“This move is likely intended to weaken the government. But I would like to emphasise that the government of the day remains solid,” the New Straits Times quoted him as saying after the tabling of the Sabah 2025 Budget at the state legislative assembly.
