00:00It will be unwise for the Barisanal Pakatan Harapan Alliance to name Bung Mokhtar Radin as their poster boy for the coming state polls, with the corruption case still hanging over his head.
00:12University Science Malaysia's Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid said this is because Bung's court case makes him a liability.
00:19Fauzi said BNPH needs to be led by a person who the public perceives as free from corruption and one whose reputation goes beyond ethnic and religious lines.
00:31He suggested that Gabungan Rakyat Sabah Chairman Hadji Noor is best suited for the role if BNPH can seal an electoral pact with the state-based coalition.
00:41Last week, Bung and his wife ZZZ Abdul Samad failed in their application to review a Court of Appeal ruling ordering them to enter their defence on graft and abetment charges over a RM150 million Felcra investment.
00:55Bung and his wife were ordered to enter their defence last November in connection with the receipt of RM2.8 million in bribes to secure Felcra's approval to invest RM150 million in public mutual unit trusts.
