Suddenly championing Sabah rights

Published on: Sun, Jul 13, 2025 Text Size: I REFER to your report on Minister Datuk Armizan exposing the hypocrisy of Sabah Umno leaders who are now pretending to champion Sabah's interests (DE July 6). I wonder if one of them is the same one who vigorously defended convicted former PM Najib Razak, insisting there was no such RM42 billion 1MDB scandal. He also said Sabahans should just celebrate Malaya's independence on Aug. 31 instead of Sept.16 (Malaysia Day, it was carried in your paper). He started his political career in PBS, then jumped to Umno where he realised his dream briefly, quickly dumped Umno and joined PKR when Umno was rejected. He was probably hoping to lead PKR in Sabah. But when he found it was not so easy, he wormed his way back to Umno and is now issuing statements regularly to portals like FMT suddenly championing Sabah.
