Orang Asal Tambanuo jawab Peguam Besar Negeri Sabah fasal NCR

Oleh James Ait (pemimpin Tambanuo dalam STAR)

Seribu enam ratus lima puluh tahun setelah Allah selesai menciptakan dunia ini, Allah telah mendapati bahawa kehidupan manusia pada waktu itu penuh dengan kejahatan. Allah mengambil keputusan untuk menenggalamkan dunia ini dengan banjir besar. Catatan daripapda masyarakat di Timur Tengah, yang tinggal hanyalah keluarga nabi Noh. Cerita yang diwariskan secara turun temurun oleh masyarakat Orang Asal (Tambanuo) di Sabah, yang tinggal hanyalah sepasang suami isteri yang baru kahwin yang hanya dikenali sebagai Laduon (nenek) dan Lakion (datuk). Sepasang suami isteri itulah yang memulakan suatu masyarakat baru Tambanuo selepas banjir besar yang lebih dikenali oleh masyarakat Tambanuo sebagai “losob”.

FELDA to return 306,000 acres of land to the State

By Kong Hong Ming, (PKR leader)

Kong – FELDA, another bad deal for Sabah

Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) should return 306,000 acres of land to the State of Sabah because FELDA had breach its promise and reneged from its obligations to develop the land given to FELDA intended to serve the interest of the people of Sabah.

At the same time, Sabah BN State Government should be held responsible for its failure to protect the interest of the State and its people in the land settlement schemes undertaken by FELDA.

Jeffrey: What type of RCI approved by cabinet?

An RCI for Sabah should be done and completed
before the coming general election as many
'foreign' voters in Sabah are already on
the electoral roll.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: The much anticipated federal government’s green light for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on how Filipino and Indonesian illegal immigrants gained Malaysian documents in Sabah has been met with suspicion by the State Reform Party (Star).

Star state chapter chairman Jeffrey Kitingan, who has been demanding an investigation for years, said though Sabahans welcomed the setting up of the RCI, the government must ensure its sincerity and integrity are reflected in the RCI.

He said he would like the federal leaders to consider a few points that are vital to safeguarding the country’s and the RCI’s own integrity.

The Keningau launch is the fourth in the series for district launches, after the Kota Marudu, Pitas, and Kota Belud.

Pakatan's march to Putrajaya paved with obstacles

By M Krishnamoorthy

The road to Putrajaya for Pakatan Rakyat, if it wins the general election, is paved with obstacles - rough and rugged terrain - as Malaysia’s prime minister ponders deeply over some strategies to “defend” Putrajaya.

This was clear after a crucial question went unanswered last week, when Prime Minister Najib Razak officially visited the Royal Selangor Club.

In a speech to the club’s members and others, Najib (left) touched their hearts on some nostalgic and historical anecdotes about his association with the club as a youth when he followed his father, Tun Abdul Razak, on a visit to the club.
