Bumburing, a Prisoner of Conscience? : Dr. Jeffrey

I was shocked for three reasons – One, what leverage do you have to demand when you belong to them (PKR). 
Two, where will you go if you leave? …. BN?   Third, are you not a potential traitor to PR/PKR and to
the rakyat who elected you?; Dr Jeffrey

“Wilfred Bumburing, leader of the so-called APS, is a prisoner of his own conscience because he is unable to distinguish between the right to fight/defend Sabah’s inalienable rights and the politics of nationalism. He seems pre-occupied with the politics of “carimakan” rather than fighting for regaining Sabah’s rights and correcting the wrongs committed by Malayan political leaders on Sabah” said Datuk Dr.Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR SABAH in response to Bumburing’s statement that STAR is “Anti-Malaya”.

The people of Sabah have suffered long enough for all these years because people like Bumburing are prepared to sell their soul to secure a position with those who are responsible for colonizing Sabah in the name of national politics.

We are against the domination, political interference and the intrusion of Malayan political parties in Sabah because that is how Sabah have been colonized by Malaya against all thaose promises and assurances agreed at the formation of Malaysia.

No doubt we belong to one Federation but with three nationalities – the Malayan nationality, the Sarawak nationality and the Sabah (North Borneo) nationality. That is why non-Sabahans and non-Sarawakians cannot simply enter these two Borneo States and do what Malayans do in their States.

We have laws based on our agreement and pre-conditions when we formed Malaysia. We also have three national anthems – one at the Federal level and one each for Sabah and Sarawak.

We have autonomous rights which have been eroded because leaders like Bumburing who prefer to work under and become proxies and stooges of Malayan political parties with their Malayan Agenda. 

Is Bumburing against the Borneo Agenda? We, in STAR do not reject Malayan political parties. We prefer to work with them as partners not as their sub-servience. 

When asked why Bumburing refused to cooperate with STAR, Bumburing (in a meeting with Dr. Jeffrey) replied that he doesn’t agree with the concept of “Kingmaker”.   When asked what he understands about the concept, Bumburing said, “You can go here or you can go there”– meaning BN or PR….“I said, “Well, “kingmaker” means you have a choice and you have the power of a leverage.  You must have leverage to restore over lost rights.  Without this leverage you are not In a position to demand”.

I then asked Bumburing how he will restore Sabah’s rights if he joins PKR?   He said, “We are not joining PKR, only borrowing their symbol.”

I said “Ok ….. no matter but how are you going to get our rights back?   He answered –“when we win, we shall make our demands.  If don’t get it, we leave …..”

I was shocked for three reasons – One, what leverage do you have to demand when you belong to them (PKR).   Two, where will you go if you leave? …. BN?   Third, are you not a potential traitor to PR/PKR and to the rakyat who elected you? I rest my case.
