Lajim’s new gambit rattling Sabah PKR

Sabah MPs Wilfred Bumburing and Lajim Ukin’s unusual
terms of ‘joining’ PKR has raised the question and
stoked resentment within state PKR.
They try to keep it as quiet as possible – to subdue the irritations – but Sabah PKR just can’t keep it down. The prevailing discomfort has morphed into serious disagreements and the leaders just can’t keep it behind the curtains anymore.

Since MPs Wilfred M Bumburing (Tuaran) and Lajim Ukin (Beaufort) and later (Senator) Maijol Mahap, “joined” PKR, several serious consequences have surfaced.

First of all, Bumburing and Lajim’s unusual terms of “joining” PKR without becoming actual PKR members have raised the question of their real commitment to PKR.

Who really is Lajim’s ‘tuan’?

Has Sabah MP Lajim Ukin really defected or is this all
just another shadow play engineered by both
Najib Tun Razak and Anwar Ibrahim?
KOTA KINABALU: Whatever the game Umno chief Najib Tun Razak and PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim are playing in Sabah, it is going to be fiery and those who will feel the heat at the ballot boxes are the locals whose minds are being toyed with, spirits tested and loyalties horse-traded.
The reverberations from Barisan Nasional MPs Lajim Ukin and Wilfred Bumburing’s defections – if indeed they are defections – are hitting hard at the walls of Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman and his counterpart in Sarawak Taib Mahmud.
Cut from the same cloth and soaked in Mahathir-mentored politics, neither Najib nor Anwar seems to really care about Sabahans or Sarawakians.

More Umno names linked to ‘errant’ Lajim

Bets are on in Sabah as to how many of Umno's
current and former representatives will be
quitting the party to join the opposition.

KOTA KINABALU: Rumours of Umno strongman Lajim Ukin quitting Umno has gained momentum with more politicians touted to leave with him.

Speculations are rife that aside from Umno’s Bongawan assemblyman, Karim Bujang and former chief minister Osu Sukam, others likely to follow Lajim are Pantai Manis representative Abdul Rahim Ismail, ex-Banggi rep Amir Kahar Mustapha, former Land and Co-operative Development Minister Kasitah Gadam and Upko’s deputy president Wilfred Bumburing

Will Lajim’s exit hurt Musa?

By Luke Rintod of FMT
Rumours are that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has asked
Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman to step down after the
13th general election.
Sabah’s 25 parliamentary and 60 state seats have remained Umno’s ‘most trusted fixed deposit”. In the 13th general election, with uncertainty looming over peninsular politics, Sabah must be won and local Umno ‘warlords’ cannot be simply dismissed because ‘their too old”.

A case in point is Lajim Ukin, an influential warlord or ‘strongman’ as some call him from Beuafort. He’s a humble man and well liked in his constituency and unfortunately for some factions a ‘winnable’ candidate.

Flurry to register BN-friendly Sabah parties

By Luke Rintod of FMT
Top Umno leaders were in town to shore up Umno Sabah and
to make sure more friendly parties are registered quickly.
KOTA KINABALU: Amidst increasing concerns over Umno Sabah’s ability to hold itself together ahead of a defining 13th general election, Home Ministry officials today met with representatives from 12 groups aspiring to register themselves as political parties.

The meeting with the 12 pro-tem presidents and secretaries-general also saw the presence of a deputy minister. This indicates that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has given the “green light” for more parties to be registered in Sabah and for this to be done “quickly”.
