KOTA KINABALU: History repeats itself after Sri Tanjong Adun Justine Wong Yun Bin raised a pertinent question with regards to the hike of tariff from the Energy Commission in the Dewan Undangan Negeri yesterday.
He was meant with hostility and a bullying tactic by Adun Sulaman Datuk Hajiji Md Noor, the Chief Minister of Sabah.
Such an act reminisces the outburst by the then Chief Minister of Sabah, Tan Sri Musa Aman towards Datuk Jeffery Kitingan. “Apa mau review review?!”. In regards to Sabah Rights back then, remember that?
If one hears the line of questioning by the Sri Tanjong, there is nothing wrong with it but a pertinent question on the matter of tariff that affects all of us in Sabah, including the Government. The cost of living in Sabah is increasing, and it will only keep continuing to raise for the foreseeable future. As the State is slowly taking over Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd, from the grip of the Federal Government.
Hajiji outburst and unbecoming of a leader personified profound consequences that would carry his name in infamy.
His action yesterday reverberates and echoes what Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) is all about, thus marking another black spot in Sabah politics.
