Statement in respond to Mositun's call for ISA

By Fredoline Edwin Lojingki

PENAMPANG : PBS call for the reintroduction of draconian law Internal Security Act (ISA) while the same abusive Umno is still in power is shocking, and is in total disregard to Prime Minister's Naib Razak and Parliament's findings that ISA was out-dated.

PBS secretary-general Johnny Mositun must be out of his mind calling for ISA to be reintroduced in Malaysia, or it could be that Mositun is under the spell of Dr Mahathir Mohamad and other Malay ultras who had been calling for ISA to be reintroduced.

Be Serious in Solving Problems - Stop Cheating the People

I wish to respond to the press report made by Datuk Salleh Said Keruak, (Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly) captioned “Call to act on secession talk”

·         Leaders should listen more and understand the voices of dissension and unhappiness ( and not jump to conclusions)

·         I am surprised that Salleh as a Sabahan leader do not care about the concerns of Sabahans and the injustices suffered by Sabahans as a result of the way Malaysia has turned out to be:-

v  Downgraded to 12th State and taken over by Malaya

v  Our resources, our revenues taken over by Kuala Lumpur/Putrajaya in the name of “Federalism”

1962 Brunei rebellion, a British instigation

KUCHING: The United Nations office in Kuala Lumpur struck a cautionary note when activists from Sarawak handed it a Peoples’ Petition which was signed in Miri on Aug 9 by activists in Borneo.

This was disclosed by Lina Soo, the President of Sarawak Association of People’s Aspiration (SAPA), in a statement issued in Kuching after her return.

Monitor those who call to secede

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah State Assembly Speaker Datuk Seri Salleh Tun Said yesterday called on the relevant authorities to monitor the activity of certain individuals and groups who are using social media platforms to incite people to separate Sabah from Malaysia.

Salleh, who is also Usukan assemblyman, said such an extreme ideology spread by those quarters via Facebook and Twitter should be monitored and controlled as it was dangerous and could shake the country’s stability and safety.

Why cant we do the same?

The two pictures brought a powerful message to humankind. Yet at the same time they serve to remind us that Malaysia is a very different country, ever diminishing in tolerance to other religions other than Islam. - Editor

Arab neighbors joined ISIS slaughter, escaped Yazidi says

Entire families carry nothing but the clothes on their backs. Some are barefoot.

Jamal Jamir, a 23-year-old university student from Sinjar, told CNN his family fled to the barren and windswept Mount Sinjar more than a week ago after ISIS captured their town. The group, which calls itself the Islamic State, has been on a rampage, killing members of various minorities, including Yazidis.

Pope says the violence in Iraq offends God and humanity

ROME (Reuters) - Pope Francis said that violence and destruction in Iraq offends God and humanity and he held a silent prayer for victims of the conflict during his weekly address in Rome on Sunday.

"We are left incredulous and dismayed by the news coming from Iraq," the Argentine-born pontiff said, two days after the United States began air strikes to tackle an insurgency that threatens to tear the country apart.

"Thousands of people, among them many Christians, banished brutally from their houses, children dying of hunger and thirst as they flee, women kidnapped, people massacred, violence of all kinds, destruction everywhere ... All of this deeply offends God and deeply offends humanity."
