KOTA KINABALU (March 3): Sabah State Assembly Speaker Datuk Kadzim M Yahya today confirmed that Sebatik assemblyman Hassan A Gani Pg Amir remains as an independent assemblyman who supports the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government in the state.

Kadzim said this was because his (Hassan’s) resignation letter that was submitted by Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) yesterday was ineffective as it was pre-signed and undated.

He added that Hassan had also submitted to him a Statutory Declaration (SD) that clearly stated that he had no intention to vacate the seat despite having exited Warisan.

“After going through both the documents, I find that his resignation letter that was submitted by Warisan to me, that is said to be signed by YB (Yang Berhormat) Sebatik (Hassan), is by itself ineffective.

“According to the laws that we have now, any pre-signed and undated resignation letters are void. As such, based on this, I cannot accept the letter as a resignation letter,” he told a media conference here. – Bernama
