“It looks like the situation is calm now and I don’t think there is any turmoil (in Sabah).”

“I don’t see any (new) developments. I was just informed that there were some issues, and I asked the chief minister (Hajiji) to discuss it with (our) friends in Sabah,” Anwar said when asked about the matter in the state.

Meanwhile, in a separate story Sabah deputy chief minister is expected to be sacked from the Sabah cabinet. This is reported to be over the failed coup attempt against Hajiji.
