KOTA KINABALU: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak must intervene and take action against corrupt leaders within the Sabah government, said a Barisan Nasional coalition partner.
In an open attack on Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman, Liberal Democratic Party deputy chief Chin Su Phin said the current leaders were “unft to lead the state.”
His scathing attack on Musa's leadership’s underscores the severity of turmoil tearing through Sabah BN.
"It's sad to see that in Sabah BN, we have some extremists who are bent on destroying the good relations among partners in Sabah BN.
“These people are unfit to lead the people and the state," Chin said when opening the annual general meeting of the party's Tanjong Kapor division here over the weekend.
He pointed out that state BN leaders seemed to pay no heed to Najib’s call to BN coalition partners to stick together which was later re-emphasized by Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein during his recent visit to Kota Marudu.
Chin cited the recent case where eight local community leaders were sacked and replaced and three others appointed to positions which became vacant due to death of the incumbent leaders, all without the approval of the state representative who normally deals with such matters.
"There was hidden political agenda in the sacking of these community leaders," he said, adding that the state's Minister of Local Government and Housing Hajiji Noor admitted that the removal and appointment of community leaders should not have taken place.
"The said removal and appointment of community leaders was orchestrated by Kudat district chief Harun Bidin, who was appointed to the post in January 2008 by Musa just before the general election in 2008, replacing the previous district chief," said Chin.
District officer, or the CM, must go
He said LDP has a tape recording of Harun going against the BN in Tanjong Kapor which was won by LDP's Teo Chee Kang in the 2008 general election.
He said during the campaign period, Harun openly asked voters to support and vote for an opposition candidate.
Harun had also allegedly said that if BN candidate Teo was elected as Tanjong Kapor assemblyman, he would still go against him.
After the general election, LDP reported Harun to Musa and asked for disciplinary action to be taken against him for instigating voters to vote against the BN.
"But no action has been taken until today. And now again, Musa did not take any action against Harun for going against the BN spirit in the removal and appointment of community leaders.
"As a capable leader, Musa should not be protecting Harun. If Musa keeps on protecting such leaders, he is unfit to be the state BN chairman.
"LDP's stand against Harun remains firm. We want Harun to be removed as Kudat district Chief," Chin said.
Chin's increasingly blunt attacks on Sabah government led by Musa comes after Umno leaders around the state began demanding that they be given priority over LDP in the next general election.

If Musa is considered unfit. Then name me a leader that can be considered fit to lead Sabah.

Senang cakap mahu menukar KM, tapi belum ada lagi calon yang baik untuk menggantikannya.
Sit down and talk. This issue shouldn't go public.
It stir up speculation about the unity among the parties in BN.
Who is 'fit' to lead Sabah?
Who is unfit here? Those who allege should put them self before the mirror.
Sad they are accusing each other even they are from the same team.
Musa was not unfit. These people have their own agenda.
Belum perang dengan musuh sudah gigit sesama diri.
Sabah party?
Only LDP made this statement.
Mereka tidak layak membuat ugutan ini.
Only LDP made this allegation, other from BN still give their strong support to CM.
Siapa mereka yang membuat kenyataan ini? Adakah mereka fikir mereka dapat mencapai sesuatu yang lebih baik?
They are no more unity spirit in BN.
Have friend like this we don't need enemy.
LDP ada calon yang lebih sesuai?
