Hindraf formalizes strategic partnershi​p with Sabah, S’wak activists

KUALA LUMPUR: Hindraf Makkal Sakthi, which prides itself on being a hydra-like ad hoc apolitical human rights movement straddling the divide in Peninsular Malaysia, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Kuala Lumpur on Tues 14 Aug, 2012 with veteran activists in Sabah and Sarawak. The MOU formalizes a long-running informal and ad hoc arrangement, a strategic partnership, uniquely spanning both sides of the South China Sea.

The MOU, being kept for the moment under wraps as a document, will take effect on Sept 16, the day Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak ostensibly came together in 1963 as equal partners without referendum and without a genuine written Constitution to form the new Federation of Malaysia.

Perkemaskan TOR sebelum RCI dilaksanakan, SAPP

Naib Ketua Pemuda SAPP, Rudy S. Mairi

Oleh: Ambrose M Matthew

TENOM: Pergerakan Pemuda Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) meragui keberkesanan pelaksanaan RCI kerana TOR (Term of Reference) yang diumumkan Perdana Menteri Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak beberapa hari lalu, tidak terdapat langkah seperti mencari siapakah dalang yang bertanggungjawab termasuk menghukum orang yang terlibat.

Naib Ketua Pergerakan itu Rudy Sulaiman Mairi (gambar) berkata, demikian ketika mengulas isi kandungan 8 perkara TOR sebagai syarat dan terma pelaksanaan RCI diSabah yang disifatkannya sebagai sekadar “window dressing” untuk mematahkan isu tersebut dari terus memuncak, katanya dalam satu kenyataan disini pada Isnin.

Remove Tan Sri Herman Luping from Royal Commission - BERSIH Sabah

KOTA KINABALU:Bersih Sabah calls on the government to 'kick out' Tan Sri Herman Luping out of the panel in the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) and the demands the re-drafting of the Terms of Reference (TOR) with immediate effect.

According to Bersih Sabah spokesperson Andrew Ambrose (also known as Atama), "While we welcome PM Najib's announcement, we believe that the government is not sincere with appointments of panel members of the highest integrity. We demand that Tan Sri Herman Luping be disqualified and immediately removed as a panel member due to his highly publicized corruption case in the 1980's during which he was accused with soliciting RM1million from timber tycoon Victor Wong Chet Sing on April 25th 1985. During this time he was the State Attorney General and a legal advisor of a political party. We find him simply not clean so appointment of a panel of low integrity is a face palm to the government."

Andrew stressed further that "Sabahans have been fooled for far too long by misleaders of low integrity. It's time that the government step up with real and impactful actions and solutions to solidify the promises they have made to the people in the name of justice & fairness for all. Sabahans should not settle for less in the Terms of Reference (TOR) of RCI and therefore must exercise their Constitution Rights to freedom of expression."

They claimed the kampung folks had been without supply of clean water for years and things got messier as the only iron water tank that used to store water from Mesilau river has rusted with knee's deep mud and rust inside it, having never been maintained or cleaned.

No life for Sabah parties in BN after Mahathir, says Star

posting “which is tantamount to an admission of
sedition and treason", says STAR's Sabah Deputy Chairman,
Daniel John Jambun

KOTA KINABALU: The State Reform Party (Star) has challenged local parties in Sabah to leave the Barisan Nasional (BN) in the wake of former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s widely-reported blog posting on Wednesday this week that “illegal immigrants who have stayed long in Sabah are entitled to citizenship especially when they can speak Bahasa Malaysia”.

An excellent speech by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in UK

Thank you for inviting me to speak with you. I am truly honoured. I have played some small role in the life of this nation, but having been on the wrong side of one or two political fights with the powers that be, I am not as close to the young people of this country as I would hope to be.

History, and the 8 o'clock news, are written by the victors. In recent years the government's monopoly of the media has been destroyed by the technology revolution.

You could say I was also a member of the UKEC. Well I was, except that belonged to the predecessor of the UKEC by more than fifty years, The Malayan Students Union of the UK and Eire. I led this organisation in 1958/59. I was then a student of Queen's University at Belfast, in a rather cooler climate than Kota Bharu's.

Citizenship for foreigners: Dr M’s reasoning flawed

KOTA KINABALU: A Sabah MP today lashed out at the Umno-led federal government for irresponsibly granting foreigners residing in Sabah citizenship merely because they can speak the language and had been in the state for a number of years.

Sepangar MP Eric Majimbun, who is Sabah Progressive Party deputy president, said the ruling coalition’s real agenda in granting citizenship to foreigners was to hang on to power using their votes of gratitude.
