KOTA BELUD: Kebelakangan ini Timbalan Ketua Perhubungan Umno Sabah, Datuk Salleh Said Keruak ada beberapa kali membuat gesaan atau lebih tepat “teguran” kepada beberapa kementerian persekutuan berhubung Sabah.

Yang terbaru ialah gesaannya supaya Kementerian Pendidikan pusat memberikan lebih kuasa autonomi kepada Jabatan Pelajaran Sabah dalam perancangan dan pelaksanaan projek pembangunan pendidikan di negeri kedua terbesar itu.

Sebelum ini Salleh, yang juga Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri, juga “menembak” sekurang-kurangnya dua kementerian persekutuan yang kebetulan diterajui dua pemimpin Umno Sabah sendiri.
