Scots and Sabahans, share similar fate, and yet so different...

By Angus MacSwan

EDINBURGH (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday begged Scots not to rip apart the United Kingdom's "family of nations", flying to Scotland to man the barricades against a surge in support for independence eight days before a referendum.

Cameron appealed to Scots to use their heads and their hearts when they voted on Sept. 18. He reminded them of their shared history and bonds with England, Wales and Northern Ireland - twice evoking World War Two and the fight against Hitler.

Sabah Bukan Milik Malaysia

Kota Kinabalu: Kenyataan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin bahawa Sabah milik Malaysia merupakan satu kenyataan yang menyimpang dan jauh daripada kebenaran. Malah ia boleh disifatkan sebagai berbaur penjajahan. Sejarah membuktikan bahawa Malaysia dibentuk pada 16 September 1963 oleh empat wilayah bekas jajahan British iaitu Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak dan Singapura (menarik diri dari gabungan pada tahun 1965). 

Ini bermakna bahawa Malaysia itu milik bersama Malaya, Sabah dan Sarawak. Tanpa tandatangan Sabah dan Sarawak, Malaysia tidak akan wujud di peta dunia.

Jeffrey Appeals to CM Musa to Open Up Batu Sumpah on Malaysia Day

Kota Kinabalu: “Batu Sumpah belongs to the rakyat specifically created in the Interior as a commitment of loyalty to Malaysia in terturn for the assurance that the Federal Government will honour religious freedom  (no official religion), land, forest and natural resources belongs to Sabah and the native customs, adat and traditions will be safeguarded.

“The Batu Sumpah does not belong to the government and therefor the government have no right to prevent anybody to visit and pay respect to the Monument” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, who was unhappy that the District Office has denied their request to visit the Batu Sumpah on Malaysia Day.

Scotland poise to vote for independence of UK !

The leaders of Britain's three main political parties announced a last-minute trip to Scotland on Tuesday to boost the campaign against independence after a surge in separatist support ahead of next week's referendum.

Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband agreed to skip their weekly debate in the House of Commons on Wednesday and instead head north, reflecting a new sense of urgency in the unionist camp.

According to Jalibin, the police report was lodged against a group that called themselves as 'Semenanjung Malaysia ANTI Sabah & Sarawak' that issued extreme threats against the lives of Sabahans in the Peninsula and can disrupt the peace and harmony of civil society in Malaysia.

SSPR Gesa Tindakan Terhadap Ugutan Keatas Warga Sabah, Sarawak

Ranau:   Sebuah NGO tempatan yang diketuai oleh Jalibin Paidi hadir ke Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Ranau untuk mengemukakan laporan polis. Seramai 27 orang, yang mewakili Pertubuhan Sepakat Satu Perjuangan, Ranau ( SSPR ) telah tampil untuk mengemukakan laporan.

Menurut Jalibin, laporan polis itu dibuat terhadap post di Facebook oleh sebuah kumpulan yang menggelar kumpulan itu sebagai 'Semenanjung Malaysia ANTI Sabah & Sarawak' yang amat keterlaluan, mengancam keselamatan orang-orang Sabah di Semenanjung dan mampu mengancam keharmonian masyarakat majmuk dalam Malaysia.

Jeffrey Welcomes Meeting with Putrajaya To Address Issues Behind Secession Calls

Kota Kinabalu: “The best and the only way to deal with the incessant calls for secession or separation is to take the bull by the horns and address them” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, in welcoming a statement by the Deputy Home Minister for Putrajaya to meet the "separatists". Jeffrey's name was singled out in the Deputy Home Minister's statement.

It is time for the Federal Government to address the unhappiness behind the calls for secession/separation/Sabah Sarawak rights... the issues are all the same but the calls become louder and more intense the longer these frustrations are ignored overtime explained Jeffrey who was detained under the ISA in 1990's for raising the rights of Sabah under the 20- Points pre-conditions for Malaysia. 

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
