KOTA KINABALU: Thirty-three years after being detained for 26 months under the now-repealed Internal Security Act (ISA), Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan insists there was never a plot for Sabah to secede from Malaysia.

Kitingan claimed that his detention from May 13, 1991 under the ISA was politically motivated by the federal government led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stop the then-Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) government from pursuing Sabah rights under the 20-point safeguards outlined in the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
