Celebrate Your Culture, Or Risk Losing It

That was what Datuk Herbert Timbon Lagadan, told his fellow Dusun Tindals at a Kaamatan celebration at Kampung Gaur, Kota Belud today (June 2, 2011).

"We must continue to celebrate our Kaamatan, and promote our culture, or else we risk losing our good culture," he said in his speech at the celebration. The Community Development and Consumer Affairs Assistant Minister who is also Kadamaian assemblyman, said effort to promote the ethnic foods, especially those raw materials derived from the wild, should be carried out.

He said wild vegetables once popular in the olden days like the lembiding, mentimahar, polod and others are a much healthier and better food as they contain no chemicals...

A superb effort by Penang State Govt

This is what a govt is supposed to do for her citizens... not rape and pillage resources for their own benefit! 
(REMEMBER THE SUNGAI BULOH MRT COSTS !!!! )

Remember this everytime you have to speak about our Govt, that there is still hope of good people doing the right thing in govt. We just need to keep voting the right person in! 

A Govt that tries to SAVE the rakyat's $$$!.......and BN defintely does not fit this bill !

‘Not much difference between DAP and Umno’

United Borneo Front president Jeffrey Kitingan also
warns Sabahans to beware of Barisan Nasional which
is bent on moving towards extremism to perpetuate
its hold on power.

KOTA KINABALU: Peninsular-based DAP is bullying local opposition Sabah Progressive party (SAPP) just like how they (including PKR) thumbed Sarawak Nasional Party (SNAP) in the runup to the polls on April 16, said United Borneo Front president Jeffrey Kitingan.

According to Jeffrey, DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang had started on a wrong footing in Sabah with his arrogant attitude and by pitting local (opposition) parties against each other.

Ultimatum by DAP to SAPP showed arrogant attitude

KOTA KINABALU, May 29, 2011: SAPP President said he was surprised by the harsh way that DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang had attacked SAPP as being unrealistic and for the ultimatum that SAPP must join PR on the ground that only PR can beat BN.

"As a matter of fact, Sabah DAP chief, Jimmy Wong Sze Phin, had called and sms to invite me to the DAP harvest festival. In order to reciprocate, I invited Jimmy Wong as a guest to my house and we had a nice chat on politics" revealed Yong.

Why I left for our ‘poorer’ neighbour

Contrary to most Malaysians who work overseas, I chose a less popular destination. I have been based in Jakarta for the past year and a bit. Most people look down on Indonesia as the poorer neighbour, much like the way Singapore looks at us. However, after living here, there is much to like, and below are some of the reasons why I prefer life here and do not plan to return anytime soon:

Bukan Aset, Tetapi Parasit Dalam PBS

Saudara Pengarang,

GENERASI pemimpin Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) masakini lebih tertarik dengan daya kuasa wang dan pangkat. Generasi pelapis yang tidak pernah merasai peritnya perjuangan jatuh bangunnya parti itu, lebih rela diulit mimpi indah berbanding matlamat sebenar perjuangan untuk membela rakyat.

Maka tidak hairanlah pemimpinnya terutama di pedalaman tidak perlu ke pejabat untuk bertemu rakyat. Cukuplah mencari mereka di mana-mana pusat hiburan sama ada siang atau malam.

Inilah hakikat fenomena yang berlaku di kalangan pemimpin pemudanya, yang bukan sahaja ego, bongkak malahan sombong dan angkuh. Ketokohan Huguan Siou juga sedikit sebanyak tercalar oleh sikap pemimpin di Keningau ini.
