Not true split in Sabah Umno, says Jeffery Nor

THERE is no issue of splitting among Sabah Umno members in determining the issue of cooperation with other parties to face the upcoming 17th State Election (PRN17).

Sabah Umno Elections director Jeffery Nor Mohamed said this matter is still at the preliminary discussion stage, and has not been finalised.

According to him, any proposal for cooperation with other parties has not been submitted to the central BN for discussion.

Jeffery, who is also the Putatan Umno chief, said he was surprised when someone who is not a politician and is not in the Umno/BN is more knowledgeable about the current position and situation of Umno and the Sabah Barisan Nasional, which is allegedly divided into two groups in determining cooperation with other parties to face PRN17.

According to him, even though the individual is a political analyst, not all of his writings and views are accurate about the current political issues in Sabah. Moreover his writings and views are not based on facts and favor one side only.

Jeffery said this following a media statement by political analyst Lee Kuok Tiung from University of Malaysia Sabah (UMS), which was published on a national portal recently.

 

Tidak wujud perpecahan Umno Sabah- Jeffery

DAKWAAN sesetengah pihak wujudnya perpecahan di dalam UMNO Sabah berhubung kerjasama dengan mana-mana parti menjelang pilihanraya negeri ke-17 (PRN17), adalah tidak benar.

Pengarah pilihanraya Umno negeri, Jeffery Nor Mohamed berkata sebarang perbincangan dengan parti lain masih di peringkat awal dan belum ada keputusan dibuat.

Menurutnya, sebarang cadangan juga perku dirujuk kepada ibu pejabat parti di Kuala Lumpur.

Jeffery yang juga ketua Umno Putatan berkata beliau tidak mengerti kenapa ada pihak yang mengapi-apikan sentikan kerjasama itu sejak akhir-akhir ini.

“Ia tidak berasas sama sekali,” katanya mengulas kenyataan penganalisis politik Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Lee Kuok Tiung yang diterbitkan sebuah portal berita baru-baru ini.

“Itu pandangan beliau tetapi keadaan sebenar tidak sedemikian,” kata Jeffery.
