FORMER Sabah chief minister Musa Aman is back in Malaysia and is  currently seeking treatment in a private hospital in Subang Jaya, Selangor.

Musa, who had fled to London after his state government crumbled, arrived at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah airport in Subang Jaya this evening.

He had flown in from Singapore’s Seletar Airport at 6.45pm.

Director-general of Immigration Mustafar Ali confirmed Musa was back.

“I can confirm Musa has returned. He was accompanied by several individuals whom I believe are his family members,” he told Astro Awani.

Musa’s liaison officer Awangku Faisyal said the former chief minister was being examined and monitored.

“He has given his full cooperation to the authorities and will continue to do so despite health concerns and against doctor’s advice in order to attend to his obligations,” Awangku said in a statement.

Musa was last seen on May 14 in Kota Kinabalu, where he flew from to attend Umno’s 71st anniversary in Kuala Lumpur.

He dropped off the radar until a video allegedly showing him in London went viral on May 31.

The Immigration Department has no record of him leaving the country, but sources say Musa left Sabah via Brunei.

Since then, he had only communicated through his lawyers.

Musa is the subject of a police report by Sabah governor Juhar Mahiruddin, who alleged criminal intimidation by the former chief minister after Barisan Nasional lost the May 9 general election.

He took the oath as chief minister, but was later replaced by Parti Warisan Sabah president Shafie Apdal when he won the majority support of state lawmakers.

Soon after that, Musa left the country was reportedly in the United Kingdom.

He is challenging the legitimacy of Shafie’s appointment at the Sabah court and the case is set for mention on September 3.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is also looking to question Musa over an alleged RM20 million bribe to Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Solidariti) president Jeffrey Kitingan as incentive to ally himself with Musa after GE14. – August 21, 2018.
