Businessperson Albert Tei has claimed that he received a WhatsApp message from Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Jeffrey Kitingan’s wife, Cecilia Edwin, shortly after a video implicating her husband in the state’s mining scandal surfaced.

“I received the text this afternoon, but I did not respond. It sounded like she was asking about the other videos of Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) and Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) leaders,” he told Malaysiakini.
