In a Bernama report, Sabah chief minister Hajiji said such plots would only lead to chaos and affect the nation’s stability.

He said the federal government has good relations with the Sabah government.

“So why rock the boat? We work for the nation and the people’s prosperity, (and) we do not support any move that will destablise the country,” he said.

“Malaysia practises democracy, (and) those aspiring to become the prime minister should just wait for the general election to see if the people accept them.”

Hajiji said GRS fully supports Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister and is confident in his leadership.

“Let him lead our multiracial country to prosperity,” he said.

He also questioned the motive of those behind the so-called “Dubai Move”, asking whether they were trying to fulfil their own political agenda without caring about the public’s well-being.

There has been recent speculation over the so-called “Dubai Move”, a reference to alleged talks in the United Arab Emirates between certain opposition leaders and government representatives to topple Anwar’s administration.

The alleged meeting was supposedly aimed at dividing tasks among “agents” to identify MPs who could switch support to the opposition to form a new government.

The alleged move has been played down by Anwar and other top government leaders.

On Jan 7, Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor claimed that Perikatan Nasional had acquired enough statutory declarations (SDs) to overthrow the unity government.

However, he did not provide details, including the exact number of SDs obtained, especially from government MPs.

In a Facebook post yesterday, Anwar said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, had stated that the palace would not get involved in political machinations.

Anwar, who posted the brief statement after his weekly audience with the King, said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong “also ordered for me as prime minister and the Madani government to continue administering the country.”
