BY Ezra Haganez

KOTA KINABALU :  In conjunction with World Habitat Day yesterday, the Consumer affairs and Protection Society of Sabah (CAPS) has called on both the Federal and State Governments to pave for more affordable houses be built for locals, including the younger generation.

CAPS spokesman, Donny Yapp, in a statement said ways and means must be found to have more low-cost housing be developed instead of medium and high cost houses as the trend had been.

The Tamils in the peninsula are more Orang Asal than others except the Orang Asli.

Tamil schools in the Federation cannot be questioned because the first civilisation in the peninsula was Kadaram in Kedah which was a trading bridge between India and China.

The Kadaram people, Hindus from India, were the first to settle down in the peninsula after the Orang Asli. Kedah comes from kedai (Tamil for shop). There were many shops in Kadaram.

Komen-Mengomen Bersama Fredolin E. Lojingki

Saya ucap 'thank you' kepada Borneo Herald sebab bagi 'chance' orang tua buka cerita-cerita pengalaman sebagai orang tua di ruangan ini.

Saya ni sudah veteran pada umur menjangkau 74 saya sudah melihat segala-galanya sekurang-kurangnya di Sabah, bumi tercinta kita ini...

Badan yang sudah tua tetapi hati masih berkobar-kobar semangat ini umpama seorang jejaka melihat gadis melimpas pantang mesti mata kita melihat jua.

There is no Malaysia in Borneo, says veteran writer Fernandez

If you are free to enter a partnership, you are also free to leave it. If you are not free to leave a partnership, then it's not a partnership. It's occupation and re-colonization.

The issue is that Malaysia has no legitimacy in Borneo. If someone steals your land, you have to get it back. Not live as a slave on your own land with the thief.

Ranau: Sebuah NGO, Sepakat Satu Perjuangan Ranau (SSPR), menegur kenyataan media oleh Datuk Ewon Ebin, Ahli Parlimen Ranau yang menggesa penduduk tiga kampung yang terlibat dengan masalah tanah supaya bersabar walaupun masalah telah berlarutan sejak berpuluh tahun dulu dan masih belum diselesaikan.

KENYATAAN YANG BOLEH DIPERCAYAI BERKAITAN MASALAH TANAH DI ULU SUGUT

Kes Pengambilan Tanah Adat (NCR) di Kg. Malinsau, Kg. Wayan & Kg. Sinurai, Ranau (MAWASI) oleh mantan YB ERA 70-an yang kemudiaannya geran tanah tersebut dijual oleh anaknya kepada syarikat Worthy Palms Sdn Bhd (dari Selangor).

Protect Natives Rights, Stop Eviction and Destruction of Ulu Sugut Villages

Malinsau, Kg. Wayan and Kg. Sinurai in Ulu Sugut, Ranau” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief voicing out his concerns on the reported destruction of the village lands and crops by the purported registered landowner with more than 100 alleged foreigners which started on Thursday.

Syarikat Malaya rampas tanah adat Ulu Sugut

Dari wartawan lokaliti

RANAU: Perkampungan Ulu Sugut kini berada dalam krisis rampasan tanah oleh sebuah syarikat dari Malaya.

Kompeni sudah sampai di kampung dan sedang meradu getah dan tanah orang kampung.

Memang mereka cukup bersedia kerana siap dengan dua bas penuh dengan kaki pukul,6 buah kereta,2 lori dan satu hitachi.

Kami buntu kerana apabila kami hubungi wakil rakyat tiada respon. Mungkin pagi esok beberapa ekar getah akan siap diradu.

Sabah Lost More Than It Gained from Malaysia

Kota Kinabalu: “It is incredible and almost unbelievable reading the reasons and excuses given by federalist leaders from Sabah and federal leaders across the South China Sea. It is as though Sabah has never had it so good or any better if not for forming Malaysia there would be no progress and no development” asked Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, commenting on the various statements as though Sabah will be without development, be bankrupt or eaten up by its neighbours or infiltrated with Islamic State (IS) militants bent on taking over Sabah and creating an Islamic caliphate and moving back to the dark ages.

D.O. Should Not Play Politics With Excuses

Kota Kinabalu: “It is a sad day for the civil service when the District Officer tried to play politics to justify his refusal to open up the Batu Sumpah monument on Malaysia with excuses and lies. It may be better that he ask to be transferred out of Keningau to protect the good name of the Sabah civil service” said Dr. Jeffrey in response to the so-called explanation of the District Officer that STAR Sabah applied to hold the Malaysia Day commemoration service.

“If the District Officer wish to recall, I applied for permission as the State Assemblyman for Bingkor and the request was not made under STAR Sabah party as alleged by the D.O.” stressed Dr. Jeffrey.
