By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Political maverick Jeffrey Kitingan, who has been at the forefront in the fight for Sabah’s absolute rights as set out in the Malaysia Agreement 1963, is alarmed that some powers are being misused by the government.

He views the banning of rights activist Haris Ibrahim from entering the state as a gross abuse of the state’s immigration powers by Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman.

UPKO insincere – “Table Motion Or Shut Up UPKO”

By Edward Linggu

“UPKO is insincere and merely “cakap kosong” because of the forthcoming General Elections when its Secretary-General, Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau, said that Sabah and Sarawak should get 34% of the Parliamentary seats” said Edward Linggu, UBF Campaign Director.

Edward added that “UPKO is merely repeating UBF’s Borneo Agenda for political mileage to gain voters support. If UPKO is sincere and means what is says, UPKO should through its three Members of Parliament led by its President, Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, table a motion in Parliament to get the Elections Commission to allocate at least 35% of the MPs for Sabah and Sarawak.”

The Muslim thought process, or the lack of it

An interesting read to describe the Muslim thought process - or lack thereof.  Sort of points out the absurdity of said process.

Paranoid Musa afraid of being exposed

Umno-led Sabah Barisan Nasional has come under attack
for its 'stupid' act of denying civil activist
Haris Ibrahim entry into Sabah.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Umno-led Barisan Nasional leadership came under heavy condemnation for barring civil activist-cum-lawyer Haris Ibrahim from entering Sabah but did nothing to stem the flow of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into the state.

Political activist Daniel John Jambun, who was among those at the airport to receive Haris, was fuming that the state government had barred Haris instead of illegal immigrants and criminals from the state.

Astro’s monopoly has short-changed Malaysian TV viewers

Astro hidden slogan for the people

Malaysians are gullible enough to be taken for a long ride by Astro, as the government has given Astro too much leeway. This has caused Malaysian TV viewers to be short-changed and at the same time snuffed out other operators from entering the market and providing better service. Such a phenomenon is only seen in Malaysia, with only one pay TV operator given exclusive licence for 20 years.
