The conspiracy plot to overthrow CM Hajiji Noor and the government has not only irk and tested the patience of Sabahans, but it will be remembered come 2025, when Sabahans exercise their Constitutional right at the ballot box.
Politics are full of actors pretending to be ” distinguished gentleman”, yet lack morality and Integrity, with their sugar coated ” good intent” for the people – only to fulfill their personal fantasy.
A wise man once said, ” Be careful who you let on your ship, because some people will sink the whole ship just because they can’t be the captain.” This would have happen, had the plot succeeded.
There are some differing opinions from certain “political analyst” and certain news portals that’s still fond of curry flavouring their delusional and dethroned politicians, that the turmoil has yet to truly signal the end of the plot by Bung Moktar and Shafie Apdal.
Depending on whose opinion bears relevance or taken seriously, adding fuel to fire only losses credence to their one sided opinion.
However, I will agree that politics is fluid. The UNITY GOVERNMENT of Sabah MUST ensure political stability, boost economic spin-off, protect the rights and interest of Sabah, YET be weary of the wolves disguising as sheep’s or any second wave takeover.
Bung Moktar maybe a” wounded tiger” licking his wounds, while his comrade Shafie Apdal in the plot has lost credibility, but loosing sight and resting on your laurels, could spell trouble by a bigger avalanche if left unchecked.
One can only imagine, had the plot to unseat CM Hajiji Noor and his government succeeded, Bung Moktar would have walked into the UMNO General Assembly currently ongoing, holding hands with Shafie Apdal to a thunderous applause – akin to a General recieving a HERO’S welcome.
Make no mistake, both Bung Moktar and Shafie Apdal will remain in the Opposition block in Sabah, and will eventually face the wrath from the voters.
The onus now is for CM Hajiji Noor and his UNITY GOVERNMENT to prove to Sabahans, that his government will take Sabah to greater heights. Assurances is simply not good enough.
