SAPP MPs Threatened

Two Sabah MPs recalled home after 'threats'
KOTA KINABALU: The two MPs of the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) have been recalled home to Sabah for security reasons, said party president Datuk Yong Teck Lee.

He claimed that the two MPs – Datuk Eric Enchin Majimbun (Sepanggar) and Datuk Dr Chua Soon Bui (Tawau) – had been threatened by certain quarters over SAPP’s decision to support a no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister.

The two MPs, who were in Kuala Lumpur to attend the Parliament meeting which began yesterday, were told to return immediately.

... is Eric Majimbun backtracking from SAPP's endorsement?

Majimbun denies favouring no-confidence motion
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party member of parliament for Sepanggar Datuk Eric Enchin Majimbun has denied that he would support a parliamentary motion of no confidence in the prime minister.
"I have lost confidence in the leadership but I never said I would support a vote of no confidence (in the prime minister)," he told the New Straits Times.

Majimbun said his statement issued on Wednesday, when party president Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee held a press conference to announce that the SAPP would push for a vote of no confidence in Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, made no mention of supporting such a move.

and ACA wastes no time to question Datuk Yong over his involvement in a 5 million payout when he was Chief Minister.
