RANAU: Former Upko vice president cum incumbent Paginatan Assemblyman Datuk Abidin Madingkir, who defected to support former Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman, has joined Star and labelled his action as “kembali ke pangkal jalan” (returning to the right way).Some 1,000 supporters and Upko members in the constituency also followed suit and submitted their membership forms to Star President Datuk Dr Jefferey Kitingan.
“Many names were called of me when I decided to be one of the 33 assemblymen who sided with Musa. I did not leave Upko but was sacked from the party,” he said.
