KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 — Former Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman denied all allegations hurled at him and has asked for the “rule of law” to prevail, said his lawyer Zahir Shah today.

In a statement, Zahir said Musa denied allegations that he had intimidated Governor Tun Juhar Mahiruddin.

“Tan Sri Musa Haji Aman denies all allegations against him of criminal intimidation against Tuan Yang Terutama Negeri Sabah Tun Juhar Mahiruddin or any other persons,” said Zahir.

“Tan Sri Musa regrets that Tuan Yang Terutama Negeri Sabah had to be dragged into the legal suit.

“Tan Sri Musa added that at the end of the day, the rule of law must prevail and the Sabah Constitutional provisions must be respected and followed,” he added.

Musa previously claimed he was still the legal chief minister of the state despite Parti Warisan Sabah president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal being sworn in as Sabah head on May 12, two days after Musa was initially sworn in.

Musa was later replaced by Shafie following defections from four Umno assemblymen.

On May 20, Juhar filed a police report against Musa over the alleged criminal threat.
