SUBANG JAYA: Tan Sri Musa Aman may be back in Malaysia but his presence is still heavily shrouded in secrecy.
At a private hospital in Subang Jaya where he is seeking medical treatment, the former Sabah chief minister's bodyguards and aides as well plainclothes policemen could be seen milling about the area.
A wall of silence surrounds the Sungai Sibuga assemblyman, with hospital personnel on alert against unauthorised visitors.
While checks on the registration list by the hospital concierge confirmed that Musa was in one of the VVIP suites, a nurse on duty claimed that the room was unoccupied..
Prior to this on Wednesday (Aug 22), Deputy Home Minister Datuk Azis Jamman was reported as saying that Musa needed to follow the police's standard operating procedure (SOP) while receiving medical treatment.
He said based on the SOP, Musa needed to be sent to a government hospital because his health confirmation must come from a government doctor, and not a private one.
He also said that while undergoing treatment, Musa would be under police supervision and that the doctor would have confirm his health condition based on SOP.
Musa, the former Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman, was sworn in as chief minister on the night of May 10 to form a government with a simple majority of 31 seats, a day after the general election concluded.
But his tenure was short-lived as Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal was sworn in three days later after six Barisan state assemblymen abandoned the coalition to join Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan).
The move gave Shafie a simple majority of 35 seats.
On May 14, a day after Shafie was appointed, Musa, by then wanted by the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), fled Sabah.
He left Malaysia on May 17 for the United Kingdom.
But on Tuesday, the day his political arch-nemesis Shafie marked his 100 days in office, Musa returned in a private jet from Singapore.
He is expected to face a series of investigations by the police, graft agency and even immigration ahead of a Sept 3 High Court decision on his (Musa) reaction to Shafie’s appointment as the Chief Minister by Governor Tun Juhar Mahiruddin.- Star
