KOTA KINABALU : Datuk Seri
Lajim Ukin has declined to comment on revocation of his appointment as Deputy
Minister of Housing and Local Government effective immediately.
"I have no comments for
the time being and will issue a statement at a suitable time," he said in
a brief statement here today
The Prime Minister's Office
statement today said that Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam
Shah has consented to the revocation of his appointment.
It was made under Clause (3)
Article 43A read together with Clause (5) Article 43 of the Federal
Constitution.
On Saturday, Lajim quit as
Umno Supreme Council member and Beaufort division Barisan Nasional (BN)
chairman with immediate effect.
The Sabah veteran politician
who also quit as Beaufort Umno division chief however remained a member of
Umno.
Meanwhile, Sabah BN
secretary Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan said the revocation of Lajim's appointment
as deputy minister was timely.
"The Yang di-Pertuan
Agong acted correctly. Now the prime minister has to study the scenario and
decide to leave the post vacant or fill it."
Abdul Rahman who is Member
of Parliament for Kota Belud said Lajim should not criticise Umno but still
remain a party member.
Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS)
information chief Datuk Johnny Mositun said it is the prerogative of the prime
minister to appoint or revoke the appointment.
tindakan memecat lajim adalah tepat...tiada sebab mengapa perlu biarkan beliau dalam kabinet..
ReplyDeleteBetul tu. Kalau tak dipecat, nanti lain lagi isu yang timbul.
Deletemmg patut dia dipecat, lagipun mmg itu dia inginkan.
Deleteentah apa komen si lajim nanti...mungkin akan berbaur cuba mendapatkan simpati dari rakyat atau pemimpin pembangkang..
ReplyDeleteLajim akan gunakan ini untuk dptkan simpati dan sokongan.
DeleteHarap rakyat dapat menilai dan membuat pilihan yang bijak.
ReplyDeleteNo need for Lajim to comment because he left BN for his political interest only.
ReplyDeleteWith the continuous development, Musa reminded all Umno and BN leaders in Sabah to place importance on sincerity to the government, party and the top leadership and not on self-interest because only through the former, the people and nation would continue to prosper.
