KOTA KINABALU (July 3): Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku ( STAR) Sabah deputy president Datuk Ellron Angin has also refuted claims of alleged involvement in the mining scandal.
'I categorically deny the allegation that I received a bribe or was involved in any transaction amounting to RM530,000. This accusation is a baseless and politically motivated slander, aimed at tarnishing my reputation and integrity as an elected representative,' he said, referring to the Malaysiakini report dated 28 June 2025 titled 'Another Sabah Shock: Mining Scandal Engulfs STAR, Senior PBS Leaders'.
'I have always upheld the principles of integrity, accountability, and clean governance, in line with the Sabah state government's commitment to combating corruption,' he added.
Ellron also said that he had instructed his legal team to take firm action against any party responsible for spreading these false allegations.
'I will not remain silent. The truth must prevail.'
STAR Sabah president and Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Deputy Chief Minister II and PBS Acting President Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Joachim Gunsalam,
PBS deputy president Datuk Sri Panglima Jahid Jahim and Bingkor assemblyman Datuk Robert Tawik have also denied allegations linking them to the bribery scandal.
