Sabah UMNO leaders have supreme confidence in Musa now...

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah UMNO leaders seem to have supreme confidence in Musa Aman as both the Chief Minister and the party state liaison chief.

They shot down any notation of a brewing dissension within the ranks, ahead of the 13th General Election which might be called by Prime Minister Najib Razak in the next six months or so.

Salleh Said, Musa's deputy liaison chief when texted if there was anthing big at last night UMNO liaison meeting in Kota Kinabalu, just said: "Tiadalah. Short meeting..." (nothing, it was a short meeting).

Well indeed at just over one hour it was a short meeting to be considered as having discussed or elaborated on any significant Sabah issue. Too short, that Musa was looking for the RTM crew, (who had gone out for coffee) when he was about to speak to the press after the meeting.

Jokes for the day

A blind man walks into a restaurant and sits down. The waiter, who is also the owner, walks up to the blind man and hands him a menu. ‘I'm sorry sir, but I am blind and can't read the menu. Just bring me a dirty fork from the previous customer, I'll smell it and order from there.’

A little confused, the owner walks over to the dirty dish pile and picks up a greasy fork. He returns to the blind man's table and hands it to him.

The blind man puts the fork to his nose and takes in a deep breath. ‘Ah, yes that's what I'll have, meatloaf and mashed potatoes.’ Unbelievable, the owner says to himself as he walks towards the kitchen.
The cook happens to be the owner's wife and he tells her what had just happened. The blind man eats his meal and leaves.

Several days later the blind man returns and the owner mistakenly brings him a menu again. ‘Sir, remember me? I'm the blind man.’
‘I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. I'll go get you a dirty fork.’ The owner again retrieves a dirty fork and brings it to the blind man. After another deep breath, the blind man says, ‘That smells great, I'll take the Macaroni and cheese with broccoli.’

Once again walking away in disbelief, the owner thinks the blind man is screwing around with him and tells his wife that the next time the blind man comes in he's going to test him. The blind man eats and leaves.
He returns the following week, but this time the owner see's him coming and runs to the kitchen.

He tells his wife, ‘Mary rub this fork around your vagina before I take it to the blind man.’ Mary complies and hands her husband the fork back. As the blind man walks in and sits down, the owner is ready and waiting.
‘Good afternoon sir, this time I remembered you and I already have the fork ready for you.’

The blind man puts the fork to his nose, takes a deep whiff and says, ‘Hey I didn't know that Mary worked here?’

Jokes for the day

After the baby was born, the panicked Japanese father went to see the obstetrician. ‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘I don't mind telling you, but I'm a little upset because my daughter has red hair. She can't possibly be mine.’

‘Nonsense,’ the doctor said. ‘Even though you and your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool.’

‘It isn't possible,’ the man insisted. ‘We're pure Asian.’

‘Well,’ said the doctor, ‘let me ask you this. How often do you have sex?’
The man seemed ashamed. ‘I've been working very hard for the past year. We only made love once or twice a month.’

‘There you have it!’ the doctor said confidently. ‘It's just rust.’

Jokes for the day: Catholic

Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.
The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."

The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal.. When he enters a room everyone says 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic man then says, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Holiness'."
Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, "Well....?"

She proudly replies, "I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38D breast, 24" waist and 34" hips. When she walks into a room, people say, "Oh My God."

Dr Jeffrey weighing his options, likely to ditch an Anwar-Azmin led-PKR

By Ezra Haganez
Kota Kinabalu, SABAH: Outgoing PKR Vice President, Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, while reiterating he is still with the Party, said right now he and his group feel at a loss ever since Zaid Ibrahim has quit the party.

"We supported Zaid because he is a man of principle, and he supported the aspirations of Sabah and Sarawak.

"We wanted leaders at the apex of PKR who understand the need and aspirations of Sabah and Sarawak but he (Zaid) has quit now. We are at a loss," said maverick Jeffrey at his press conference in Kota Kinabalu today.

According to Jeffrey, unlike Zaid, it is unknown and unheard of if any of the other PKR top central leaders who "really" respect Sabah and Sarawak's rights as equal partners in the Federation of Malaysia.

This statement indicated the man's assessment of PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim himself, who many have wronged for what had been going on in the Party for the past few months.

More problems in party as PKR elections come to a close

PETALING JAYA: The month-long PKR elections came to a close with more chaos plaguing the party.
Fresh claims of irregularities are being bandied about and at least two branches have closed down with members quitting en bloc.

The polls for the party’s central leadership which began on Oct 29 have been marred by protests and resignations with many members, including deputy president aspirant Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, crying foul.
The latest developments are:

●       A key aide to party vice-president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan quit the party, dealing a blow to PKR in Sabah;
●       A shocking statistic was revealed – the Tanjung Piai pro-tem division is made up of only a single member;
●      A senior PKR leader says the party will focus on the coming general election rather than be embroiled in internal bickering.

No surprises in PKR’s final election results

PETALING JAYA: Gombak MP Azmin Ali has romped home in the race for the deputy presidency, garnering a majority of about 14,000 votes.

His sole challenger, Perak PKR chief Mustafa Kamil Ayub, is said to have obtained about 3,145 votes.
Party insiders said Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar, Batu MP Tian Chua and Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh are likely to have won three of the four vice-presidencies.

The last VP post is said to be a tussle between Penang PKR chief Dr Mansor Othman, Selangor executive councillor Dr Xavier Jayakumar and Padang Serai MP N. Gobalakrishnan.

The official results are not expected to be announced until the PKR Congress scheduled to be held here over the weekend. Polling for central positions closed yesterday.

Another blow for Opposition as Jeffrey’s aide quits party

KOTA KINABALU: PKR was dealt another blow when a key aide to vice-president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan quit the party yesterday.

Philip Among, also known as Daniel Dell Fidelis, tendered his resignation to the party headquarters via email, sparking speculation of a mass exit soon by members aligned to Dr Jeffrey.

It is understood that many supporters were unhappy over the disciplinary action taken against 12 members before the party’s divisional elections despite a peace deal.

Among, however, declined to comment if others, including Dr Jeffrey, would leave the party with him.
The 41-year-old Among said he emailed his resignation to PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, party president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, de facto chief Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Dr Jeffrey.

Short view on the State Budget

Dear Editors,

Yr esteemed paper may use my view if it is useful to yr readership, TQ

"The State Budget for next year is a reflection of the political will of the State Government to spend more funds to alleviate the current condition Sabah and Sabahans are in, vis-a-vis the sluggish economy, less employment opportunities, and still lagging behind in infrastructures. We hope to see some good and creative initiatives to be taken by Chief Minister and his team. Again, delivery is very important..."

Raja Petra Kamarudin
I just want to pen a short note to tell you that the draft Constitution of the Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MLCM) has just been finalised. MCLM’s lawyer has just sent it through to me and I am studying it now.
Later today I shall be fetching Haris Ibrahim from the tube station. He will be arriving about 5.00am this morning UK time. Haris and I will then go through the Constitution to make sure that it is in order before releasing it to the public.

Haris will be spending about a week with me here in the UK to go through the mission and vision of the MCLM. Basically, what we will focus on will be:

1. The MCLM will become a pressure group of civil society movement activists with a view to engage politicians, not to become politicians.
