Sabahans have been left bewildered and embarrassed after the drama unfolding on the 16th of May at the court of appeal where the Sabah Law Society is pursuing legal action against the federal government for Sabah’s 40% revenue. Now the date for a decision on whether or not SLS will be granted has been revealed.

Gripped under the overarching claws of the theocracy, It seems the supposed successor to the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has lost his grip on the succession with President Ebrahim Raisi the “Butcher of Tehran” tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash North of the City of Tabriz alongside the Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, The Governer of East Azerbaijan and Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Hashem, a close representative to the Supreme Leader.



This has called into question the nature of the crash, whether it was faulty maintenance, weather conditions or nefarious means committed by Mossad, CIA or maybe ambitious rivals vying for the presidency? Either way Iran is set to mobilize and all manner of palace intrigue and behind the scenes maneuvers will no doubt be done by all interested parties both within and outside.
