Replacing the TYT?

I need to jot this down before I forget about it

Apparently the current chief minister wanted to replace the current TYT (Tuan Yang Terutama for the state of Sabah) to another person (I don't remember the name but apparently this person is related to the chief minister through marriage). Our chief minister then flew to the peninsular to meet up with the prime minister and told him that our TYT is incapable of performing his tasks as he is unwell. The prime minister then flew to sabah to ask for himself if it is true that he is unwell but obviously the TYT, being in a good condition said no and stated that he wanted to continue on for his second term. (hehehe, I don't know for sure if that was what he said and the even that went on but I guess it was something along the lines of what I had interpreted)

..so that's the story, he is staying! Our current TYT was appointed under the advise of our then chief minister, Datuk Chong Kah Kiat. He broke the tradition as previously TYTs were chosen from people with political lineage but this one was 'completely unknown' in the political arena. Datuk Chong Kah Kiat (from what I've heard from people) has almost the same distinction as our previous Prime Minister, Tun Dr.Mahathir - for being unique, wanting to do things differently.

At this time and era Sabah's administration, it is good to be related to Musa Aman. (I guess you would already probably know why. Hint : This era is the Musa Aman clan area

It's bandaraya day today for Kota Kinabalu. I went out to watch the celebrations but I won't be writing about it today. I had a great time though but that's all i have to say for now, I'll save it all for tomorrow. Stay tuned!
