Star Amused At Bn Rahman's Asking Anwar To Give Assurance

By Dr Nicholas James Guntobon

KENINGAU: The statement by BN MP for Kota Belud, Rahman Dahlan, asking for an assurance by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim that Sabah would not get less than it gets under a BN Federal government is alike to BN already conceding defeat in the coming general election.

I wonder if Rahman's statement which came out in Borneo Post today is reflective of CM Musa Aman's stand or even the Sabah BN of which Rahman is its secretary.

The Murder That's About to Change the World

By Robert Washington

Nobody could have known that the dinner they were about to eat would one day change history. Some say it was goat. Others say it was lamb. Either way, it was poisoned.

 

And the guest of honor was Mohammed, founder of Islam.

 

It was just one bite, that's all it took. He tasted the poison and immediately spat it out. But it was too late. He would soon die as a result, sparking a bitter and deadly divide.

 

Jeffrey’s party pulling in the crowds

Star is engaging people across Sabah
with a promise that "change has come".

KENINGAU: The Sabah chapter of the State Reform Party (Star) has been attracting thousands to its ceramahs (talks) in an indication that state Barisan Nasional (BN) parties are losing supporters.

The most recent well-attended talk was at the joint-launching of the Keningau, Tenom and Pensiangan branches here on Saturday where more than 2,000 turned up to cheer party leader Jeffrey Kitingan.

Kitingan, who ditched PKR a year ago and was party-less until last month when he brought Star from Sarawak, has managed to attract leaders from other political parties to his party.

New movement demands 70% oil royalty for Sabah and Sarawak

By Ezra Haganez

KOTA KINABALU: A new citizen movement has demanded that oil royalty for Sabah should be at least 70 percent and not below to compensate the losses Sabahans incurred under a mere 5% royalty all these years.

Oil for Future Movement (OFF) chairman, Phillip Among, said on top of that oil royalty for Sabah must be backdated to 1976 and a statutory 8 percent interest per annum should be paid.

Hak Tanah Adat Adalah Dijamin Di Bawah Perlembagaan

Oleh Tan Sri Hasmy Agam

Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia Malaysia (Suruhanjaya) memandang berat dan bimbang dengan kenyataan terkini yang dilaporkan dibuat oleh Peguam Negeri Sabah bahawa Ordinan Tanah Sabah (OTS) yang berkuatkuasa pada tahun 1930 tidak membenarkan wujudnya Hak Tanah Adat yang baru di Sabah. Menurut Peguam Negeri Sabah tidak ada peruntukan dalam OTS bagi anak negeri untuk membuat penempatan selepas 1930 dan menuntut Hak Tanah Adat, yang mana ianya jelas bercanggah dengan kedudukan Hak Tanah Adat yang merupakan hak asas masyarakat Orang Asal/Asli sepertimana dijamin dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Native Customary Rights To Land Are Guaranteed Under The Constitution

By Tan Sri Hasmy Agam

The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (the Commission) views with great concern and disquiet over the recent statements reportedly made by the Sabah Attorney-General that the Sabah Land Ordinance (SLO) that came into force in 1930 does not allow for the creation of fresh Native Customary Rights (NCR) to land in Sabah. According to the Sabah Attorney-General, there is no provision in the SLO for natives to go into occupation of land after 1930 and claiming NCR on it, which clearly contradicts the position that NCR to land is a fundamental right of indigenous communities guaranteed under our Federal Constitution.

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.
