Pairin's longtime friend disagrees with attack on Dr Jeffrey...

By Fredoline Edwin Lojingki
PENAMPANG : As a veteran political activist who have been with Joseph Pairin Kitingan for very long years, including when we were both members of Pekemas, an opposition party in the 1960s and 1970s, i cannot but comment on the on-going Pairin's bashing his younger brother Dr Jeffrey.

The sudden outburst by Pairin against his own brother, who is now Star Sabah chapter chairman, including labeling him as liar, speaks volume of his disappointment and paranoia at the shifting support to his younger brother's struggle. Pairin must be so desperate now to cling to power he had taken for granted by supporting a clearly hegemonising and dictating Umno.
It is not a noble virtue for a Huguan Siou to act the way Pairin did lately. If people are running away from a leader or his party, there must be valid reasons for it, and a stable leader should instead reflect on him/herself and not accuse his/her opponent as liar.

If we audit the speeches of all leaders, especially Barisan Nasional leaders, including Pairin himself, all these years, we will be surprised that they have uttered thousand of lies thousand times to Sabahans. Ask the people in Keningau and KDCA members and you will understand.

To Radin Malleh, who dared to say the "ausung" (curse) word, against Dr Jeffrey, let me remind him that the word would haunt him forever as Dr Jeffrey was the one who planted the "trees of fruits" that Sabah leaders are reaping now. There could be no big allocations from the Federal for them if not because of the vociferous and untiring voice from leaders like Dr Jeffrey.

But let us not glorify ourselves, as all credits go to God. We are merely His tools to achieve certain noble objectives here. Having said that, satan too must be busy working this election to perpetuate the agony of Sabahans. One thing i am confident is that, given a chance, Dr Jeffrey would be a much better Chief Minister.  

I don't know about others, but to me an old man at 71, Dr Jeffrey is carrying our crosses all these years, including Pairin and Radin's crosses, if they understand what i mean. Dr Jeffrey has been speaking for the reinstatement of Sabah and Sarawak rights for 30 years now, i don't think the people agree with Radin in simply accusing him as doing it for his own interest, only "blinded" man like Radin will say so.

Radin was totally wrong and mistaken in claiming it was because of Pairin that Dr Jeffrey was appointed Director of Yayasan Sabah. That would tantamount to saying Pairin abusing his position for cronyism, whereas at that time Dr Jeffrey was already in YS and poised to be a Director out of meritocracy even during the tenure of Harris Salleh.

If anything, Dr Jeffrey was appointed for his merit and qualification, and he proved his worth by leaving an excellent track record in YS both in its social and corporate programmes and its business management, despite all those challenging years under Umno's attack that now being glorified daily by Pairin and Radin.

Thank you.

  1. Mslaysia ditubuhkan 16 Sept 1963, 49 tahun dulu.
    Janji Ditepati ... Tahun ini menyambut Malaysia 55 tahun.

    Sabah, Sarawak, Singapura dan Malaya bergabung menubuhkan Malaysia pada 16 Sept 1963 sebagai 4 rakan kongsi sama taraf.
    Janji Ditepati ... Sabah kini 1 drpd 13 negeri, sama taraf dengan negeri2 di Semenanjung bukan sama taraf dengan Semenanjung.

    Minyak hasil dari bumi Sabah.
    Janji Ditepati ... Petronas dapat 95% hasil minyak, Sabah dapat 5%.

    Tanah Sabah diduduki diterokai oleh anak negeri siap dengan rumah, tanaman, sekolah, tempat beribadat dan kuburan.
    Janji Ditepati ... Geran tanah diberi kpd kompeni yg datang rado rumah, tanaman dan halau orang kampung keluar dan kerajaan buat apa utk membantu rakyat?

    Kuasa imigresen dlm tangan dan tanah Sabah diduduki orang asal berpuluh2 tahun ada yg berkurun.
    Janji Ditepati ... PTI berkeliaran di seluruh Sabah.

    Jabatan dan agensi kerajaan pusat di Sabah patut dijawat oleh rakyat Sabah tetapi jawatan macam mana diagihkan?
    Janji Ditepati ... Orang Malay yang datang ambil jawatan, rakyat Sabah dibelakangkan adapun jawatan rendah dan anak negeri dan berugama lain dipinggirkan.

    Bikin jalan di Semenanjung dan bikin jalan di Sabah.
    Janji Ditepati ... Di Sabah jalan grabel saja dan yg jalan seal pun tidak rata tetapi jalan di Semenanjung bukan main2 bertingkat2 dan lebar sehingga boleh landing kapal dan Menteri JKR bilang jalan di Sabah sama taraf dengan jalan di Semenanjung.

    Sekolah dibina di sini sana, samada di Semenanjung atau diSabah.
    Janji Ditepati ... Bumbung sekolah Piasau terbang dan belum ada apa dari pusat untuk baikpulih, sekolah di Sabah pigi tinguk sendiri banyak masih buruk dan ada pelajar yg belajar dibawah khemah dan ada dengan meja kerusi yg buruk. Di sana, bukan main sekolah rendah macam kolej semua konkrit santek.

    Sabah negara berdaulat dan pilihanraya diadakan 5 tahun sekali.
    Janji Ditepati ... sekarang bukan rakyat tulen Sabah saja yg mengundi tetapi juga orang asing yg mengundi sebab diberi MyKad dan hak mengundi mengatasi rakyat tulen.

    Banyak lagi janji-janji ditepati sehingga Sabah negeri termiskin diMalaysia.

    1. Nah Pairin suba kau baca yg di atas tu pandangan orang Sabah.. Jangan kau pandai-pandai suruh Pak Radin ipar kau tu sembarang hantam Dr Jeffrey.. Kamu tu penyukung Amuno, nada suara kamupun melabih-labih dari Amuno sendiri.. Ingatlah siapa yang kasih jatuh kau dari CM dulu...

    2. Cerita sejarah politik ini sebenarnya rumit jika kita dengar dari satu pihak saja. Kerana politik ini boleh jadi apa saja yang tidak disangka.

    3. JK ada perjuangannya sendiri. Mungkin berbeza dengan Pairin juga. Jadi setiap orang ada cara dan bagaimana mereka lakukannya. Jadi kita tunggu saja seterusnya mengenai perkara ini.

  4. This is the statement by PBS secretary-general;

    Henrynus said any right-thinking politician would give credit where credit is due and criticism when criticism is necessary, depending on the situation.
    “It is utterly silly for Dr Jeffrey to utter such criticism when Pairin was merely exercising his responsibility to the people of Keningau and
    Tambunan by giving due credit to the good deeds of the BN state and federal government”.

    Pairin had done lots of things and he still fight for the Sabahans. Recently PM announces RM235m loan for keningau Water treatment plant.

    "Each time I get into the helicopter with Pairin and Musa, they only convey this (to me). I told them to wait for my visit to Keningau, that I will make an announcement." Statement By Najib.

    So, who is better now? JK or Pairin? you should know how to choose!Lets make the best man win!

  6. Udahlah tu Pairin, lebih 30 tahun jadi YB dan Menteri cukuplah jangan lah telampau tamaha dan melakat di kerusi. Ingat Ariah Tengku Ahmad pernah cakap dalam satu kongres PBS ketika dia masih Ketua Wanita PBS, "Jangan melakat di kerusi sampai orang bosan tingu..." Sekarang ne terus terang saya cakap apabila saya nampak gambar Pairin terus hati saya tawar dan marah benci pun ada... Jangan salahkan rakyat bosan tingu muka itu saja.. bagus kalau ada idea ini kering macam tu gurun... perasan saja lebih... Bersaralah sekarang wahai presiden Pbs yang tamaha lagi menjadi pngalang pemimpin lain naik... palui punya yb

    2. Senang saja mahu kutuk/kritik Pairin kan? Jika saudara di tempat beliau, mampukah saudara menjadi pemimpin untuk sekian lama? Jangan hanya tahu komplen. Pandai2 la buat keputusan mahu undi siapa nanti dalam PRU13 ni.

    1. Bukan sembarangan orang boleh dapatkan gelaran 'Huguon Siou' ini. Bila Pairin diberi gelaran ini, maka ia petanda bahawa beliau merupakan seorang pemimpin yang luar biasa.

  8. Because you are supporting Jeffrey, that's why you said like that. What if you are in Pairin's side? You will definitely back up him.
