Resign over latest corruption allegations, Warisan duo tells Sabah CM Hajiji

KOTA KINABALU, Dec 4 —Two Parti Warisan leaders have called for Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to resign following allegations of corruption involving him, several state assemblymen, and Cabinet members.

The party’s Youth chief Terence Au and Kota Kinabalu division information chief Samuel Wong claimed the casual discussion surrounding corrupt practices a failure of integrity among the government leaders.

“Wira Warisan Sabah urges all state assemblymen implicated in this scandal to take honourable steps by resigning from their positions as ministers, assistant ministers, and GLC chairpersons immediately.

“The chief minister should also consider doing the same. This step is crucial to demonstrate a commitment to integrity and accountability to the people and to show that they have nothing to hide behind their positions,” said Au.

He said that stepping down from their positions would also provide space for authorities to conduct thorough investigations without interference from any vested parties and show the government’s seriousness in combating corruption, aligning with the state government’s commitment to anti-corruption.

Meanwhile, Wong said that the recent exposure of the videos, via a businessman turned whistleblower, have attracted negative attention both nationally and internationally.

“Regular public updates on the status of the investigation is necessary to maintain transparency throughout the process. This will help keep the public informed and ensure that the investigation remains a priority,” he said.
