KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman is dissapointed with the High Court's decision.
He however thanked the court, his family members, lawyers as well as his supporters for upholding and respecting Sabah’s Constitution.
The High Court here, dismissed Musa's originating summons against Sabah Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin and Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.
The summons, among others, is to seek a declaration that Musa is the rightful Sabah chief minister according to the state constitution and that the appointment of Mohd Shafie as chief minister was illegal.
The ruling also means that Mohd Shafie remains as the legitimate chief minister of Sabah.
"However, this issue goes beyond whether I am Chief Minister or not," Musa said in a statement.
"This is about the sanctity and proper interpretation of Sabah’s Constitution and the Yang diPertua Negeri's (Tun Juhar Mahiruddin) powers to appoint and dismiss a Chief Minister.
"I am of the view that these issues have not been fully resolved today and I have instructed my lawyers to appeal today’s decision,” he said.
