KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam (pic) has denied allegations linking him to a bribery scandal involving Sabah’s mineral mining licences.

The Acting PBS President described the report, published by a news portal recently, as “grossly irresponsible” and aimed at damaging his reputation.

He said he remains focused on his duties as Kundasang Assemblyman and State Cabinet member despite attempts to discredit him.
