Kota Kinabalu Jan 03, 2012: Sepanggar Umno has called on Beaufort Member of Parliament Datuk Lajim Ukin to make his stand clear now and not "to hide" until the dissolution of Parliament.
Its Chief, Datuk Jumat Idris, said his Beaufort counterpart should be a "gentleman" and state his stand now whether he is still with the Barisan Nasional (BN) or not.
"If he is still with BN, then he should say so...if not, then he should in a gentleman manner resign from Umno and BN as well as relinquish his Deputy Minister post.
"Don't hide until the last minute when the Parliament is dissolved to jump to the other side," said Jumat when asked to comment on the issues widely spread in the Internet about Lajim's speech in the open house hosted by a Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sabah leader, Datuk John Ghani, last month.
Jumat said in the first place, Lajim had breached the party's constitution by attending an opposition gathering.
It was also mentioned that among those who attended the gathering was Pakatan's MP Datuk Nizar Jamaluddin.
Lajim, however, had said that his speech at the function had been exploited and that he was there as he was invited.
Harap Lajim Ukim akan menjelaskan keputusan beliau sama ada untuk terus bersama BN ataupun ingin keluar parti?
BalasPadamPRU-13 dan semakin hampir dan parlimen mungkin akan disuraikan bila-bila masa. Kita tunggulah keputusan daripada Lajim.
BalasPadamSejarah 'katak' mungkin akan memberi kesan negatif terhadap Lajim.
BalasPadamLajim already explain that he still with BN and always give his support to the party.. so this should be enough to explain about his stand..
BalasPadamkalau tidak puas hati, jumpa terus dengan Lajim.. apa guna satu payung tapi tidak sanggup cakap berdepan??
BalasPadamlajim perlu perjelaskan hal ini dan apa pendiriannya.
BalasPadamia perlu aga isu ini tak lagi dipanjangkan.
BalasPadamLajim harus menyatakan pendiriannya agar tidak timbul sebarang kekeliruan.
BalasPadamharap isu ini tidak akan terus berpanjangan dan semua persoalan akan terjawab segera.
BalasPadamLajim pasti tahu apa yang dia mahu lakukan. Namun seharusnya Lajim perlulah memberikan maklum balas mengenai pelbagai isu mengenai beliau.
BalasPadamBerita Lajim semakin hangat di Sabah yang menyatakan beliau akan keluar parti dan menyertai PKR.
BalasPadamhal ni semakin serius, harap tidak berpanjangan dan menjadi isu sensasi.
BalasPadamJangan terus membisu nanti akan menimbul pelbagai masalah
BalasPadamLajim sepatutnya tidak berdalih atau sembunyikan sesuatu jika benar beliau berniat untuk meninggalkan UMNO dan BN.
BalasPadamkalau seorang anggota BN menghadiri pertemuan pihak pembangkang memang sudah tentu timbul persoalan2. apa lagi jika sebelum ini ada tanda2 lain yang meragukan.
