KOTA KINABALU – Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) lawyers have filed a suit against Hassan A. Gani Pg Amir for failing to resign as Sebatik assemblyman upon his resignation from the party.
In a statement, Warisan said the writ of summons and statement of claim were served by Messrs Liau Kee Siong & Co, representing the party, at Hassan’s residence in Taman Fulliwa here at 3.35pm yesterday.
The writ named Warisan secretary-general Datuk Loretto Padua Jr as the plaintiff on behalf of the party.
Among others, Warisan is seeking a court decision to compel Hassan, who cut ties with the party on February 25, to honour his pre-signed resignation letter and step down as Sebatik rep.
He won the Sebatik seat in last year’s state election under the Warisan ticket.
On Monday, he submitted his membership form to join Bersatu during the party’s second anniversary dinner here. – Bernama, April 7, 2021
