KOTA KINABALU:. Praise be to Allah swt for I have been granted leave by the Federal Court today to proceed with my appeal to be declared rightful Chief Minister of Sabah.
Finally, I now have been given the oppurtunity to fully argue my case at the ultimate court of the land.
The Federal Court has decided that the case against the Sabah TYT and Shafie Apdal is not academic and should be heard so the Federal Court can once and for all ascertain the legality of my dismissal as Chief Minister the subsequent appointment of Shafie as the CM.
The Federal Court is also of the view that the outcome of this case is too significant not just for one individual but for Sabahans in particular and the nation in general.
The people of Sabah have the right to know whether my removal as CM was done in accordance with the Sabah constitution.
That court also stated that this case has legal and constitutional implications at the Federal level.
Like I said before this case is not about me. It is about the fight for the truth, justice and upholding the Sabah Constitution.
I would like to thank my legal team who are fully dedicated to this case and I have faith they will continue to do so moving forward.
I also want to thank my family, friends, political comrades and supporters who have stuck by me all these years.-
