SHADOW.....Former bellhop is frightened of his own shadow.
MENTION Lajim Ukin as well as he takes you back to 1994. That was the year when he defected from the antithesis Parti Bersatu Sabah which won the Sabah election by the razor-thin two-seat domain though was denied the government. His movement opened the floodgate of defections from PBS to the nationally ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.
After eighteen years, which has remained Lajim's best achievement in politics. But the ghost of 1994 has never forlorn him. Now as he chases shadows, the sovereign lawmaker of Beaufort is afraid of his own.
Perhaps the 57-year-old Lajim has seen the essay upon the wall. So he has done the few pre-emptive moves: he quits as the conduct of the Kerambai Kebatu bend of the United Malays National Organisation (Umno) as well as announces which he would not be defending his Beaufort division arch post as well as says which he might not even defend his parliamentary seat. He fears which the BN care might not concede him to do so.
But is Lajim over-reacting? Chief Minister Musa Aman, who heads Umno as well as the BN in Sabah, has never pronounced or dropped hints which Lajim would be sidelined. Neither has Najib Razak, the Prime Minister who heads the 13-member coalition. He makes the last decision.
In picking the quarrel with his boss in public, Lajim has shown his debility as well as the disposition to megalomania. He wants the budding apportion to meddle in Sabah's affairs as well as he makes himself ! next to to former Malaysian budding ministers: Mahathir Mohamad as well as Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Lajim says he would be an typical part of of Umno just like them as well as brushes off talks which he would join Anwar Ibrahim's antithesis Parti Keadilan Rakyat.
But who is Lajim Ukin? He was the bellhop at Winner Hotel, the two-star hotel in Kota Kinabalu owned by the late Yong Yun, father of Yong Teck Lee who heads the antithesis Sabah Progressive Party.
Other than being Sabah's famous party hopper as well as parliamentarian, Lajim is the emissary sovereign apportion of housing as well as local government, the youth post. Abdullah done him the emissary transport apportion after he won the Beaufort parliamentary chair upon his first tour in 2008. And Najib switched Lajim's posts when he succeeded Abdullah as budding apportion the following year. They never done him the full minister.
People close to Lajim contend he wants to become Sabah's arch minister, the post promised him by Anwar, who was sovereign financial apportion as well as emissary budding apportion in 1994. It was Anwar who engineered the defections which led to the fall of the PBS government. Lajim never got it though became the emissary arch apportion after maintaining his Klias state chair in 1999 upon an Umno ticket. (Insight Sabah)
