Reverse Takeover Of Sabah Already Underway -- Jeffrey
KOTA KINABALU: The United Borneo Front (UBF) believes Sabah will soon drown under the weight of the illegal immigrants unless the government carries out a commission of inquiry (RCI) on the problem and takes firm steps to solve it.
UBF Chairman, Datuk dr. Jeffrey Kitingan was saying in statement here in response to what he said was “shocking” announcement by the secretary general of the Women, Family and Community Ministry, Datuk Dr. Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur that locals are outnumbered by the immigrant population in the Kinabatangan district, where there are 117,689 foreigners compared to 32,638 locals.

Compromise politics and the battle for the middle ground
By Farish A. Noor
And so, after what appears to have been a rather long meeting that stretched beyond four hours, the Pakatan Rakyat coalition has come to a compromise, of sorts.
That the result of the compromise may not be to the satisfaction of everyone is to be expected. But nor should anyone expect such a discussion to lead to definite results with one side surrendering all its claims to another. That’s the nature of coalition politics and anyone with any experience or knowledge of coalition politics in Western European countries like France, Germany, Holland, Greece or Italy would know that as well. Furthermore it ought to be noted that in some countries like Italy where compromise politics has been the norm for decades, there has been no negative result as far as the economic performance of the country is concerned: Italy remains a G20 player despite the fact that since World War Two there has hardly been any instances when one party came into power with total control over the Parliament. So why worry?

Obama's Rosh Hashanah message omits Palestine mention
President Barack Obama's videotaped message for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, includes plenty of tough pro-Israel talk, but drops references he's made in prior years to settling Israel's differences with its Palestinian and Arab neighbors.
In his new message, Obama speaks in vague terms about advancing the goal of peace, but suggests this can be done chiefly by steadfast U.S. support for Israel. He makes no mention at all of the Palestinian statehood bid causing a stir at the United Nations or of the push the U.S. and others are making to get the Israelis and Palestinians to re-open peace negotiations and ink a deal by the end of 2012.
