Osu Sukam President
Datuk Seri Osu bin Haji Sukam, is a former Chief Minister of the Malaysianstate of Sabah. He became the 12th Chief Minister of the state in 1999 and took over the post from Bernard Dompok. Following the rotation system in place at that time, Osu, an ethnic Bajau, held the post for two years representing the Muslim bumiputras of Sabah. In 2001, he was replaced by Chong Kah Kiat. Until 14 July 2005, he was a member of a ruling United Malays National Organisation party, which he resigned from due to gambling debts totalling at least USD$1.8 million he accumulated from Ritz Hotel Casino in London and another casino. He bears a striking resemblance to Roland Gift, the lead singer of the pop group the Fine Young Cannibals.
