Sabah state Cabinet will be reshuffled - Hajiji

KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor today announced that there will be a State Cabinet reshuffle.

However, he said the details will only be disclosed soon.

The matter was confirmed by the Sabah Chief Minister's Department's Media and Communication Office in a statement today.

On Wednesday, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) secretary-general Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said the party was ready to prove the validity of Sabah assemblymen's support for Hajiji as Chief Minister after it was revealed that certain parties claimed they have the support of more than half of Sabah state assemblymen to form a new state government.

Yesterday all seven Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH) state assemblymen said they will not support the formation of a backdoor government, and believed that any attempt to form a new government should be based on a constructive agenda and good policies for the benefit of the people of Sabah.

The Sabah state assembly has 79 assemblymen, 73 of whom were elected and six appointed.

The Sabah government currently has the support of 59 assemblymen comprising 29 from GRS, 17 from Barisan Nasional, seven from Pakatan Harapan, three from Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat, one each from Parti Bangsa Malaysia and Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah as well as one independent.
