Hajiji Bung Feud More Than A Simple Clash Of Two Sabah Leaders

---

Both men are believed to have fallen out in January last year.
(The Vibes) – SABAH Umno has released a list of what it deems as failures by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) – a clear signal that their feud goes beyond a simple clash between two leaders.
The relationship between the two parties has often been referred to as a leadership dispute between state Umno chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin and GRS chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
Both men are believed to have fallen out in January last year.
Sabah Umno information chief Datuk Suhaimi Nasir had linked Hajiji to Sabah’s long-standing “legacy issues” when releasing the list of GRS failures.
“Many current cabinet ministers were part of previous Sabah governments, including Chief Minister Hajiji and Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun. Isn’t this their legacy too?” he asked, referring to their roles as ministers under the Barisan Nasional administration, which ended in 2018.
Hajiji previously served as the Local Government and Housing Minister, while Masidi held the Tourism, Culture, and Environment portfolio. Both were Umno members at the time.
Suhaimi also scrutinised Hajiji’s political stance, particularly his “Rumah Kita, Kita Jaga” (our house, we protect) agenda.
He pointed out that this localist rhetoric, akin to the “Sabah for Sabahans” call, contradicts GRS’s current partnership with national parties such as PKR and DAP.
