TENOM : Kedatangan Perdana Menteri Dato'Seri Najib Tun Razak ke Sabah yang difahamkan akan ada pengumuman mengenai penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan DiRaja (RCI) yang sebelum ini ianya dinanti nantikan pelbagai lapisan rakyat namun khabar gembira itu disambut dengan kehampaan dan kekecewaan rakyat Sabah.

Malahan ramai yang kecewa kerana menunggu dengan penuh harapan ianya akan menjadi kenyataan namun sehingga Najib balik ke Kuala Lumpur, beliau langsung tidak menyebut pun soal RCI.

Dr Felix joining STAR lauded by Chinese activist

KOTA KINABALU : The decision by former DAP leader Dr Felix Chong in joining a Borneo-based State Reform Party (STAR) is laudable and a correct step taken by a patriotic local Chinese Sabahan, said state social and consumerism activist, Donny Yapp Tai Hua.

Yapp who himself is not yet a member of any political party, in a statement issued here today, said it is heartening to see a Chinese Sabahan with great leadership potential to throw his support to a known state right advocate like Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

KDCA slammed for failing to respond to State AG's attack on NCR land

By Peter Marajin

KOTA KINABALU : The Kadazandusun Cultural Association (KDCA) being the custodian of the KDM's rights which include their native lands and the KDM's are all natives, KDCA should be in the forefront in defending these rights. But alas, KDCA is silent.

This could be construed to mean that KDCA and its president Joseph Pairin Kitingan, who is the Huguan Siou of the KDMs, are condoning this barbaric land grabs of the KDM's native customary lands, now this devilish pronouncment of non-existence of NCR lands after 1930 by the highest legal mind of the Government of which Pairin is a party.

STAR Committed to UBA and United Opposition

“The recent report of young turks in STAR wishing to go alone is totally false and baseless. STAR Sabah is fully committed to the United Borneo Alliance (UBA) and a united opposition to oust the current Umno/BN Governments” stated Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chairman.

“STAR has also sealed the Semporna Declaration with USNO and their supporters sealing the unity of ethnic Sabahans where candidates from USNO will contest under the USNO banner and USNO supporters will support all STAR candidates throughout Sabah.”

Malaya is too much, says Dr Jeffrey

BELURAN: The Sabah chapter of State Reform Party (STAR) said Malaya which controlled the Federal Government has been too much against Sabah, taking huge state revenues, not honouring pledges and gave back less than 5 percent to the second biggest state in Malaysia.

"Every year the Federal Government collected various taxes from Sabah to the tune of RM20 billion and this does not yet include the oil revenue derived from Sabah, whereas the State Government was only allowed to collect smaller taxes like on land and property, only about RM3.6 billion yearly. This is grossly not sufficient for Sabah," said Kitingan.

Our oil and gas belongs to us, not KL

By Daniel John Jambun

The way I look at it, the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has handled the issue of increased oil royalty very poorly, judging from the way he made his remarks in Putatan on Thursday.

He simply said that (1) The demand for increased royalty is just an opposition gimmick, (2) It is another empty promise of the opposition, (3) 20% or even 50% royalty doesn’t make economic sense because at this level of royalty, allocations to Sabah would have to be cut, (4) “Even their promises in the last election haven’t been fulfilled,” (5) The opposition is also promising to reduce petrol prices. These are very old and boring rehashed answers which are easy to rebut: The demand for increased oil royalty is not a gimmick but something which will definitely be implemented when BN loses Putrajaya, so it won’t be an empty promise when we win the election, and it makes a lot of economic sense for Sabah, Sarawak and Terengganu because with that level of royalty we won’t even need anymore federal allocation. The allocations we are getting today are in fact just crumbs compared to the huge amount we are giving to the Federal Government every year, and that is on top of the billions of annual taxes collected from Sabah. We haven’t fulfilled our promises in the last election because we didn’t take over Putrajaya yet. How does Najib think we can implement something which we promised “if the people vote BN out”? In fact it is the BN which failed to fulfil a lot of promises and created a lot of mess since coming to power so long ago. I have listed these in my long list of scandals and wasteful abuses of the people’s money – by the hundreds of billions – published in online portals under the title “Najib should clarify financial scandals.” I am still waiting for a reply.

Ketua Pemuda UMNO Keningau Buta Sejarah?

Komentar oleh Azroy

Saya sebenarnya tidak begitu berminat memberikan pandangan balas terhadap komentar Sdra Azman Hj Ruslan, Ketua Pemuda UMNO Keningau di sebuah akhbar baru-baru ini. Saya lebih berasa malu bahawa di Sabah ini masih ada pemimpin yang agak buta sejarah. Atas kesedaran itu maka saya cuma ingin kongsikan kepada warga

Sabah bahawa jangan lagi keliru dengan kenyataan pemimpin-pemimpin seperti ini. Sabah BUKAN MERDEKA melalui pembentukan Malaysia. Sabah telah merdeka 16 hari sebelum pembentukan Malaysia.

Don’t Be Childish, Don’t Throw Stones In Own Glasshouse

By Dr Felix Chong

Some DAP Sabah leaders need to stop acting like a spoilt brat and think and act maturely. It is also unadvisable to throw stones in your own glass house.

A local DAP Sabah official appears to want to pick a quarrel, wash dirty linen in public and belittle Sarawakians and the Penans.

I do not intend to stoop to such low levels and embarrass him further added Dr. Felix.

PM and Umno MP Confirms STAR/UBF Stand

By Dr Jeffrey Kitingan

The Prime Minister’s statement on the oil payment while in Sipitang and the concerns voiced by the Kota Belud Member of Parliament on oil payment and development funds proves and re-affirms the stand by UBF and STAR Sabah that representatives of Peninsular parties and Sabah BN components cannot fight for the rights of Sabah.

The PM’s explanation on the increase of oil payment totally missed the point.

What if Sabah and Sarawak did not agree to form Malaysia in 1963 and today Malaysia (or Malaya) is not entitled to the oil revenues from Sabah and Sarawak? What then for Peninsular states’ development funds without the oil revenues from Sabah and Sarawak?

Three type of leader

God summons President Barrack Obama, Chinese Leader Hu Jintao and French President Nicolas Sarkozy to a meeting.

He then tells them that he has decided to end the world in 3 days and orders them to tell their people.
