KOTA KINABALU: Sabah STAR has denied a digital poster depicting pictures of its president supporting Israel in the current conflict with Hamas. The poster appeared in the Facebook account of one Danny Lukas Jr, purportedly quoting Sabah STAR president Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan and a party member Philip Among in support of Israel’s action against Hamas. “Sabah STAR denies the accusation in the strongest terms, ” its information chief Jeffrey Kumin said, adding that they suspect someone is trying to sabotage the party and its president through the "totally mischievous and malicious" post. Kumin said the party does not make any decision on international issues which is handled by the Foreign Ministry. Kumin said Sabah STAR stood firmly behind Malaysia's stand for an immediate stop to Israeli airstrikes against the Palestinian people.
