KOTA KINABALU: Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) Information Chief Datuk Dr Yusof Yacob has chided Sabah UMNO liaison chairman Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin for denying he has been lobbying state assemblypersons from Warisan to leave the party.

Dr Yusof described Bung Moktar's denial of the allegation as a lie, likening it to ‘someone who defecated by the roadside but won’t admit it’.

"They are now deflecting it to Warisan and denying any lobbying for state assemblypersons from Warisan to leave the party.

"This is also a false statement from him (Bung Moktar) and trying to cover up his own wrongdoing,” he said in a statement on Friday.

Commenting further, Dr Yusof said that so far, the state assemblypersons from Warisan were aware they were being 'hunted' by certain parties but have ignored such advances.

"This is because they (state assemblypersons from Warisan) know the current situation.
"They are more focused on their task and defend the people who have long suffered under the previous leadership," he said.

Earlier, Bung Moktar at a press conference at the Sabah State UMNO Office on June 20 called Warisan of making 'rubbish talk' over allegations of lobbying among their representatives to leave the party.

This was following a statement by Warisan President Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal who revealed that there had been attempts to lobby representatives from the state government to join the opposition bloc.
