KOTA KINABALU (March 1): Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) will look into legal action that can be taken against Sebatik Assemblyman Hassan A Gani Pg Amir, who quit the party and declared himself an independent elected representative on Thursday (Feb 25).

Its president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said Hassan A Gani had previously made a pledge of allegiance to the party, before the Sabah State Election, in September last year.

“We have yet to receive (Hassan’s resignation letter) but he had signed and made the pledge in front of the party lawyers...,” he told a press conference here today.

Shafie, who is also the former Sabah Chief Minister, said Warisan would seek advice from its lawyers on the matter.

On Thursday (Feb 25), Hassan A Gani had announced that he was quitting the party and expressed his support for the Sabah government under Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), as well as the leadership of Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor.
