Kota Kinabalu: Parti Bersatu Sabah Vice President Datuk Johnny Mositun has fired back at Parti Muda Acting President Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz, saying she should not be making baseless claims against others when her own party president has been found guilty of corruption. Johnny said this in reaction to Amira's recent statement targeting Head of State Tun Musa Aman during a protest, where she suggested corruption allegations against the governor. 'It is disappointing that Muda's elected representative has chosen to engage in reckless slander and unfounded accusations,' Johnny said in a statement Tuesday. 'Her statement is not only factually incorrect but reveal disturbing political immaturity,' he said. Johnny said Musa was fully acquitted of all charges, with the Attorney General's Chambers withdrawing the case after thorough legal review. He also noted that Hong Kong's Independent Commission against Corruption had cleared the governor of all charges. 'In any functioning democracy, an acquittal by courts and exoneration by international anti-corruption agencies should end such malicious insinuations,' he said. He accused Amira of either wilful ignorance or desperately attempting to score political points by recycling disproven allegations, calling her continued attacks hypocritical given her party leadership's corruption conviction. 'Before she lectures others on integrity, perhaps she should look inward. People in glass houses should not throw stones,' he said, urging Muda to hold its own members to the standards they impose on others. He said if Muda truly represents new politics, it must end the hypocrisy and let facts speak louder than political theatre. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
