The Kinabatangan MP was urged to resign as Sabah Umno chief after he and his wife, Zizie Izette Abdul Samad, were ordered to enter their defence on charges of corruption and abetment over a RM150 million Felcra investment. Gerakan Kuasa Rakyat Malaysia (G57) chairman Datuk Zulkarnain Mahdar had earlier suggested that Bung should step down to focus on his ongoing court case.
On Monday, Court of Appeal ordered corruption case involving Bung & his wife be returned to the Sessions Court for trial. In response, Bung said, “I do not feel compelled to respond to comments from NGOs that are completely untrustworthy and one-sided.”
