Shafie Apdal Denies Recent Attempts to Recruit Bung Moktar to Parti Warisan Sabah

Parti Warisan Sabah president Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal has refuted claims that he has recently sought to recruit Sabah Umno chief Datuk Bung Moktar Radin to join his party. Shafie stated that he has had no contact with Bung Moktar since the May 9 elections, thus precluding any opportunity to persuade him to switch parties.
No Contact Since May 9 Elections

Shafie Apdal clarified that he has not met or communicated with Bung Moktar since the general election held on May 9. This lack of interaction means there has been no occasion for him to extend an invitation or attempt to persuade Bung Moktar to join Parti Warisan Sabah.
Pre-Election Meeting and Bung Moktar's Stance

Shafie recalled meeting Bung Moktar prior to the election. During that encounter, Bung Moktar expressed his intention to remain with Umno. This meeting, according to Shafie, was the last time they met, and subsequently, Bung Moktar assumed the position of Sabah Umno chairman.
Offer to Join Warisan Before Election

While denying any recent overtures, Shafie acknowledged that an offer to join Parti Warisan Sabah was indeed made to Bung Moktar, but this occurred before the election. He did not elaborate on the specifics of this pre-election invitation.
Bung Moktar's Statement on Courtship

The denial comes in response to statements made by Bung Moktar himself in a recent interview. Bung Moktar indicated that he has been, and continues to be, courted to leave Umno and join Parti Warisan Sabah. He also stated that he has not yet accepted these offers, citing a perceived lack of direction in the party without Shafie Apdal's leadership.
