Analysts say this may not be the end of it, following intense speculation since Monday that a move was being engineered to unseat the 27-month-old state government led by Chief Minister Shafie Apdal. FMTNews Sabah

Umno’s Kimanis MP Mohamad Alamin had yesterday fuelled the speculation further by telling reporters outside Parliament that he was expecting it to happen, although he was unsure how soon it would take place. Several state assemblymen with the Warisan-Upko-DAP-PKR coalition had claimed to have been approached by “political agents” offering money and positions in exchange for their support.

The ruling coalition now has 45 assemblymen, including four nominated representatives, in the 65-seat state assembly. Political observers feel this is not the end of it, saying Warisan and its partners should not be too quick to heave a sigh of relief.
