‘Sabah MPs must table motion to scrap cabotage’

The federal government's 'one policy fits all' system has
only brought hardship to Sabah, claims Jeffrey Kitingan.

KOTA KINABALU: Between the issuance of 40,000 free MyKads, the government’s refusal to hold an RCI on legalised illegals and the cabotage policy controversy, Sabah Umno and its partners in BN are between the devil and the deep blue sea, so to speak.

Will money be enough to buy off a BN victory in the 13th general election in face of simmering anger against the state and federal governments over these core issues?

That’s left to be seen, but for now it is imperative that Sabah MPs table a motion in parliament to scrap the cabotage policy which according to Dr Jeffrey Kitingan has ‘ruined’ the state economy and caused ‘unquantifiable damage’.

Kenapa setiap kali menjelang pilihanraya, mesti ada pendaftaran bergerak di Sabah ?

Oleh James Ait

TONGOD : Kenapa setiap kali menjelang pilihanraya, mesti ada pendaftaran bergerak di Sabah? Seolah-olah rakyat Malaysia akan beranak lebih kerap atau ada kanak-kanak Malaysia yang tiba-tiba cukup umur untuk mendapatkan Kad Pengenalan di negeri ini menjelang pilihanraya. Adalah lebih baik sekiranya ada pemantauan melalui hospital dan klinik mengenai nisbah kelahiran dan pembuatan kad pengenalan.

Saving the Rainforest with Just One Click

Malua waterfall

KOTA KINABALU (MALAYSIA): For as little as RM15, you can help protect rainforest in Sabah which is critical for the long-term survival of orang-utans, pygmy elephants, sun bears and other threatened wildlife species.

This amount, equivalent to USD5, saves 50 square metres of forest, about the size of a large garage, or you can contribute RM300 (USD 100) to conserve 1000 square metres (the size of 275 king-sized beds). This all can be done within minutes using a new online tool developed by Malua BioBank, a Sabah-based project restoring and protecting critical wildlife habitat and forest ecosystems.

Anwar exposes how EC conducts 'massive fraud'

The de facto leader of PKR today exposed opposition claims of how the Election Commission (EC) was conducting “massive fraud” in manipulating the voters roll.

NONE“I shall prove it and give a specific example,” assured Anwar Ibrahim (right) at a press conference in parliament lobby.

He then furnished reporters with a printout of an EC voter search to show how a voter with her name and IC numbers already registered in Pulai Johor was  re-registered as a new voter in Pekan, Pahang.

“This is how they do it. If they had entered the same data, the computer will reject it. So they added a slash (/) after the IC numbers in the new registration,” he alleged, holding up the printout.

God's Creations

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks by. For this, I will give you a life span of 20 years."

The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only 10 years and I'll give you back the other 10?" So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a 20-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for 20 years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back 10 like the dog did?" And God agreed.

‘Save Sabah, if you want Malaysia’

By Raymond Tombung

Is Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak 'naturally' happy with
Umno-Barisan Nasional in Sabah?

KOTA KINABALU: If Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is even remotely committed to ensuring Malaysia remains with the Barisan Nasional coalition, then he must immediately restore the rights and autonomy of Sabah.

According to political maverick Dr Jeffrey Kitingan to save Sabah is to save Malaysia.

He said it was pointless talking about the being ‘committed’ to the future if the Borneo state continued to be ignored and sidelined.

“National security and sovereignty is at stake with the continued and irresponsible issuance of Mykads and citizenships to foreigners in Sabah” stated Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chairman, in reference to the report by Mr. Mansor Santiri, President of Persatuan Bajau Bumiputra  Semporna, pertaining to the concerns by the Semporna Bajaus on the issuance of MyKads to foreigners by the National Registration Department’s mobile registration unit in Semporna.
