TAMPARULI: The Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) division, here, lodged a report on Saturday at the Tamparuli Police Station concerning a statement made by businessman Albert Tei during a press conference on June 30. PBS Tamparuli Deputy Division Chief, Madin Anak, said Albert Tei's remarks made outside the Kota Kinabalu Court Complex were defamatory and seditious.
Advertisement 'This report is made to strongly refute the baseless accusations made by Albert Tei during his press conference and the related article published by Malaysiakini,' Madin said when contacted. 'This action is also a step to defend the leadership of Sabah, particularly the Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, as well as the top leadership of PBS - Acting President Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam and Deputy President Datuk Seri Jahid Jahim.' Madin said Tei's comments were an attempt to incite public unrest and undermine public trust in the nation's legal and enforcement institutions. On June 30, Datuk Seri Jahid Jahim had publicly denied allegations published by an online news portal accusing him of receiving RM150,000 in bribes linked to a mining scandal. Jahid clarified that he had no involvement in any mining-related scandal and had never received any funds related to mining license approvals, adding that his ministry holds no authority over such licensing matters. * 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?
