Unsafe Sabah streets : Take it from activist Harris Ibrahim

SOMETIME in June, 2011, I was in Kota Kinabalu for meetings and some on-the-ground activism.

Yes, I had not as yet been banned by Musa Aman from entering Sabah then.

 Around 1am, I ran out of cigarettes ( yes, yes, I am working on quitting, so please don’t nag me ), and went down to the hotel reception to enquire where the nearest shop was that I could get some.

The receptionist asked if I would like the hotel doorman to get them for me, as it might not be safe.

Rahman Dahlan the mouthpiece of KL...

By Ezra Haganez

KOTA KINABALU : Parti Kerjasama Rakyat (PAKAR) calls on Kota Belud MP Abdul Rahman Dahlan to stop being the mouthpiece of Malayan leaders when dealing with the issue of large presence of illegal immigrants in the state.

PKAR deputy president, Paulus Gani said in as many cases in recent years, Rahman stood out as the Sabahan tool for his political masters to legitimise whatever acts in a pursue of Umno agenda, including calling on fellow Sabahans to now just accept these illegal immigrants who have been around for 40 years".

People's Petition to Acknowledge Housewives

Kota Kinabalu:   “Wanita Malaysia harus diiktiraf dengan sewajarnya sumbangan besar and pengorbanan mereka di dalam pembangunan Negara.   Sebagai salah satu pengiktirafan tersebut, Wanita Keadilan menggesa Kerajaan BN menyalurkan terus sebahagian pemberian Bantuan Rakyat Satu Malaysia (BR1M) kepada suri rumah” kata YB. Haniza Talha, Timbalan Ketua Wanita PKR Sabah, dalam suatu sidang media selepas  melancar “Petisyen Rakyat Iktiraf Suri Rumah” peringkat Sabah di Kinarut, pada hari Sabtu lalu.

RCI A Cover-Up to Absolve Wrong-Doers?

Kota Kinabalu:    “It is now clear that the Royal Commission of Inquiry on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah (RCI) was nothing more than a political gimmick for GE-13 to hoodwink Sabahans to vote Umno/BN and a manipulated cover-up to absolve the federal government, its leaders and the political party referred to in the RCI from Project IC " said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, commenting on release of the much delayed and much awaited RCI Report.                                         

Even in releasing the RCI Report, the Chief Secretary to the Government deemed it fit to play politics, and taken log stock and barrel by the government-controlled media, that “Project IC” Did Not Exist” when it was clear that the RCI specifically made a finding that Project IC probably existed.

THE COUNTRY RULED BY MOSTLY MALAYS WILL REMAIN ROTTEN AND CORRUPTED

Mariam Mokhtar

If some of you think that this nation is in a mess, then blame the Malays because they are the problem. Malays know that Malaysia is not the land of gold and honey any longer. In these difficult times, they have become more aware of their surroundings; but one other person has noticed this sea-change in the Malays.

He is former Premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad. He knows that a thinking and independent Malay is detrimental to his legacy and creation- UMNO-Baru – and to the well-being of his family’s fortunes. Today’s self-aware Malay is Mahathir’s downfall.

By Andrew Fazekas

IF all goes as planned Thursday, NASA will test its first built-for-humans space capsule since the Apollo moon missions four decades ago. Many in the space community believe this is the first step on the long road to finally get humans to Mars and beyond.

NASA’s unmanned Orion capsule will undergo its first test flight when it launches on a four and-half hour trip that will take it twice around Earth. It will flying out to 6,000 km from the surface of our planet – the farthest a spacecraft destined to carry astronauts has gone since we last went to the moon in 1972.

Pemimpin Persekutuan memperbodohkan Sabah dan rakyatnya

SAYA yang sudah tua pada umur menjangkau 74 tahun ini semakin merasa sangat rimas dengan tingkah-laku pemimpin-pemimpin Persekutuan Malaysia yang melayan amat buruk sekali rakyat Sabah.

Terlalu banyak perbuatan buruk mereka terhadap kita sehingga kertas pun mungkin tidak cukup untuk menyenaraikan kejahatan mereka.

Apa tidak jahat lihatlah hasil Sabah telah dihisap habis oleh Malaya sampai kita yang kaya ini telah menjadi yang termiskin di antara 13 negeri dalam Malaysia, walhal Sabah adalah sebuah negara asalnya.

Corrupt officials, syndicates blamed for alleged 'Project IC'

KOTA KINABALU - Syndicates and individuals aided by corrupt officials spun a web to create a so-called "Project IC" in Sabah with a purported corrosive political agenda for monetary gains.

This was among various issues highlighted in a 368-page report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah made public Wednesday.

The report, however, did not name any perpetrators or guilty parties as this was not within the commission's scope of duties, as stated in the terms of reference (TOR).

New party PAKAR supports Ghapur and Jeffrey against Seditious Act

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU : Newly-registered Parti Kerjasama Rakyat (PAKAR) is in full support of the calls made by both Kalabakan MP, Abdul Ghapur Salleh, and STAR state chairman, Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, who seeked for the Federal to punish the perpetrators in the perennial illegal immigrants problems in Sabah.

The multi-racial party claimed this should be the Federal's focus rather than busily threatening those who called for Sabah and Sarawak rights to be restored.

Hasut-menghasut adalah hasil kerja Persekutuan

NAMPAKNYA Kerajaan Najib Razak akan lebih teruk dari kerajaan kuku besi Mahathir Mohamad dulu. Kenyataan Najib akan mengekalkan Akta Hasutan 1948 bukan saja melanggar janji terang bulannya mahu hapuskan akta itu tapi maklah lebih teruk dari itu.

Najib cakap Umno akan menambah lagi kekuatan Akta Hasutan untuk melindungi Islam dan menangkap orang yang berkempen memisahkan Sabah dan Sarawak dari Malaysia.

Menteri Dalam Negeri Zahid Hamidi pula dengan angkuh mengulangi kata-kata Najib termasuk untuk menangkap pemimpin Sabah dan Sarawak yang mahu dua negeri itu keluar dari Malaysia yang sebenarnya sudah terbukti sangat merugikan Sabah dan Sarawak lebih 50 tahun ini.
