Kota Kinabalu: The Yang Dipertua Negeri of Sabah, Tun Musa Aman, today received a courtesy call from Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin at Istana Seri Kinabalu.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Mohamed Khaled shared on his official Facebook page that this was their inaugural meeting since Musa’s appointment as the 11th Yang Dipertua Negeri of Sabah in January.
