He resigned from his party of UMNO due togambling debts totalling at least US$1.8 million he accumulated from Ritz Hotel Casino inLondon and another casino.[8] The casino obtained a judgment in theHigh Court in England to recover debts owed by Osu. The casino sought to enforce the judgment in Malaysia by registering the judgment in theHigh Court of Sabah and Sarawak in July 2005. The High Court atKota Kinabalu refused to register the judgment on grounds of public policy. However, in 2007, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the casino allowing the debt to be recovered.[9]
