Marina, accept the truth of your own choice not to contest — your story doesn't help

Former Skudai assemblyman Cik Marina Ibrahim yesterday claimed she was offered financial backing to contest the Johor election, saying several individuals had volunteered to bear the cost of her campaign despite her decision not to stand. Referring to a Facebook post after nomination day, New Straits Times reported yesterday, quoting Marina as saying she had received four nomination forms from different individuals over the past week.

Harris Salleh (left) said Joseph Pairin Kitingan’s accusation that he acted like a ‘dictator’ was a grave misrepresentation of constitutional facts and historical events. Referring to news report by Sabah-based Daily Express yesterday, news portal FMT reported on the same day that former Sabah chief minister Harris Salleh has hit back at Joseph Pairin Kitingan, his political rival and later successor as chief minister, saying it was “wholly untrue and deeply irresponsible” for Pairin to say that he acted unilaterally in the signing of the Petroleum Development Act (PDA). Harris said the law, which vests Sabah’s petroleum resources with Petronas, and the 5% royalty provided to the state, were matters of national interest that fell under federal jurisdiction, as provided by the Federal Constitution. The legislation was thoroughly deliberated and passed at both the federal Cabinet and Parliament with the full participation of representatives from Sabah and Sarawak, he said. He said Pair...
