Businessperson Albert Tei has released screenshots of alleged WhatsApp conversations that supposedly show that Sabah Deputy Chief Minister I and Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) president Jeffrey Kitingan received money from him.

In the latest twist to the Sabah mining scandal, the screenshots, parts of which were redacted, surfaced after Kitingan’s aide, Rizal Johari, denied graft allegations following Tei’s release of a video purportedly showing him discussing the transactions.
