An NGO today came out to defend Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor after the latter was accused of abusing his powers by former Sabah Mineral Management (SMM) Sdn Bhd CEO Jontih Enggihon.

Speaking after lodging a police report on the matter, Gerakan Kuasa Rakyat Malaysia (G57) chairperson Andie Zulkarnain Baharuddin Mahdar said the allegations were slanderous and made in bad faith.
