SABAH Pakatan Harapan (PH) has denied a report by a local news portal that former Chief Minister Musa Aman will lead the coalition.

In a joint media statement issued by Sabah PH today, the coalition insisted that the matter had never been discussed or decided on by it.

The statement was jointly issued by Sabah PH chairman Christina Liew, United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) president Ewon Benedick; Sabah PKR chairman Sangkar Rasam, Sabah DAP chairman Frankie Poon and Sabah Amanah chairman Lahirul Latigu.

It said Sabah PH was very surprised by the news report titled “Musa Aman akan ketuai PH Sabah?” (Musa Aman will lead PH Sabah?) which went viral on social media and caused confusion and anxiety among the public.

“The coalition is of the view that any important decision related to the mandate and confidence of the people should be considered, scrutinised and fine-tuned unanimously at the state leadership level.

“Sabah PH will hold a meeting soon to discuss this matter, including the direction of the coalition ahead of the state election that will be held later,” the statement added. – Bernama, September 15, 2023.
