Has Sabah MP Lajim Ukin unequivocally defected or is this all only another shadow play engineered by both Najib Tun Razak as good as Anwar Ibrahim?
KOTA KINABALU: Whatever a diversion Umno arch Najib Tun Razak as good as PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim have been personification in Sabah, it is going to be burning as good as those who will feel a feverishness during a ballot boxes have been a locals whose minds have been being toyed with, intoxicating beverage tested as good as loyalties horse-traded. The reverberations from Barisan Nasional MPs Lajim Ukin as good as Wilfred Bumburing's defections if in truth they have been defections have been attack tough during a walls of Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman as good as his reflection in Sarawak Taib Mahmud.
Cut from a same cloth as good as soaked in Mahathir-mentored politics, neither Najib nor Anwar seems to unequivocally caring about Sabahans or Sarawakians.
For them a priority is securing Putrajaya during whatever cost. At interest is Sabah's 25 as good as Sarawak's 31 parliamentary seats.
While Sarawak is for now reduction of a threat to Najib, Sabah, on a other end, is literally land a Najib as good as BN-run sovereign supervision policies to ransom. It is no some-more a bound deposit notwithstanding a state BN's postulations.
Sabah is a poorest state in Malaysia as good as a masses have been writhing underneath sovereign supervision policies which have made basic necessities a luxury.
Since Sunday, when Lajim as good as Bumburing officially made good known their perspective of BN, denials of problems inside of Sabah Umno ranks as good as declarati! ons of a "consolidated" state BN have come fast as good as furious.
Not surprisingly, Lajim was yesterday nude of his post as emissary minister.
But what will be engaging to watch is if Umno sacks him for insubordination as good as a strategy Lajim will invoke.
Lajim is an aged hand during politics, carrying wheeled as good as dealed his approach through state governing body given a 1970s.
He is in a know of Sabah Umno's deepest darkest secrets, together with a alleged RM100 million which Musa claimed belonged to Umno.
Let's not dont think about which Lajim was once Sabah's emissary arch apportion as good as privy to insider information. He was allocated to a post after he won a Klias state chair in a 1999 polls underneath Umno ticket.
Lajim knows Anwar good too. Anwar was a emissary prime apportion when in 1994 he brought Lajim into Umno as good as after engineered a downfall of Joseph Pairin Kitingan's Parti Sabah Bersatu (PBS) government, a Christian administration, which afterwards prime apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad could not accept. PBS defeated Berjaya in a 1985 polls.
Even afterwards Anwar had betrothed Lajim a arch minister's post though which never happened.
Thus Lajim knows a domestic meditative of Anwar. He knows Najib as good as Najib knows him.
'No faithfulness from Lajim'
With Lajim it is not a question of loyalty. Both leaders have been peaceful to play round in a riot battle for leverage in a 13th general election.
Lajim has resigned from all his posts in Umno though has remained an Umno member while plainly expressing await for Anwar's agenda.
He has zero opposite Umno; in fact, he is closely aligned to Umno leaders Shafie Apdal as good as Muhyiddin Yassin.
His only genuine row has been which Najib must keep his guarantee as good as inform Musa.
But can Najib be seen you d! o this t o a arch apportion who's been good to Putrajaya as good as allegedly to him personally?
Musa, Lajim claimed, had no await as good as most of a Sabah Umno MPs as good as assemblymen had no certainty in a Musa leadership.
As if on cue yesterday, Sabah Legislative Assembly Speaker Salleh Keruak vehemently denied which Lajim's abdication from Umno as good as BN had anything to do with a inner problems in Sabah Umno.
"All his reasons for withdrawal Umno, which he helped [form a government] by toppling a PBS supervision in 1994, have been merely excuses for his mission to stay afloat politically," Salleh told FMT.
The pass difference here would be to "stay afloat politically". As an obligatory in Beaufort, Lajim wants to urge his chair as good as maybe try for a parliamentary constituency.
Ask any local domestic pundits as good as they'll put their income on Lajim winning in his subdivision he is a "winnable" candidate, they say.
If BN wins, Lajim sees himself being allocated as a full minister. If Pakatan wins, afterwards Anwar has betrothed him a arch ministership.
Perak defection revisited?
But Musa is allegedly opposite Lajim defending his chair as good as stability to lord over west-coast Sabah.
He is looking to replace Lajim with his own man as good as maybe even connect his brother Anifah Aman's sway in a state. Anifah, who is Foreign Minister, is additionally Kimanis MP.
There is a organisation here who hold which Anifah should take over from Musa as arch minister.
They explain he has reduction "political luggage" as good as is not as "soaked" in Umno's ways.
They additionally explain which Anifah, carrying spent his early days studying in England, is some-more exposed, articulate, has refinement as good as was you do a fine job as Foreign Minister.
This a Lajim organisation is passed against.! Lajim's faithfulness is to Shafie who wants to be Sabah arch minister.
One wonders afterwards if Lajim is as loyal to his struggle as he might be to his genuine bosses.
There's a phrase in a KL circles which goes like this: "jaga tuan jaga tuhan" which literally means "take caring of your trainer as good as look after God".
In Lajim's case, who is unequivocally his boss? Consider a fact which he has not quit Umno.
In which case, would we consider him a Trojan horse?
It's not unprecedented unequivocally since in 2009 it was an Umno defector who eventually triggered a reverse takeover by BN of a Pakatan supervision in Perak.
Bota constituency's Umno deputy Nasaruddin Hashim defected to PKR on January 25, 2009, saying which his voters were supportive as good as he received no financial award to defect.
Soon after, Najib took over a reigns of Umno Perak as good as BN afterwards "engineered a re-crossover of Nasaruddin as good as 3 other Perak assemblymen from Pakatan Rakyat" as good as effectively ended a democratically voted government.
