Now, what did I say about Sabahan politicians in my post The morning after GE14?
Wakakaka, I wrote: Given the above results I reckon PH with its simple majority of 113 seats will be safe for a while, maybe for at least 3 to 6 months. PH does not need to rely on the Independent to make up the numbers, nor should it ever. The Sabah MPs have been notoriously fickle-minded and thus not reliable allies, though they might be good only for short term purposes.
