Two veteran Umno politicians back in the spotlight for Sabah polls

BY JULIA CHAN

Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak, a former communications and multimedia minister, is contesting the Usukan seat on an Umno ticket, while former Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia is contesting the new Pintasan seat in Kota Belud under the United Sabah National Organisation . Salleh, a former Umno treasurer, quit the party in December of 2018 but did not end up joining Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia like most of his former comrades. He instead applied to join PKR in October 2019, claiming it was a multicultural party close to his heart.

Pandikar also left Umno in December 2018, and after considering reviving local party Akar, is now the de facto leader of Usno, saying that he chose the platform to provide a Sabah voice that is bipartisan. “In my mind, we are following a western style of politics where parties enter the election free of alliances.
