Oleh Nuraniz Ghaus

KOTA KINABALU : Kuala Lumpur ada KL Sentral, Sarawak pun sudah ada Kuching Sentral, Kota Kinabalu bila pula nak ada KK Sentral? Kerajaan Negeri Sabah bila lagi nak membina terminal bas dalam bandaraya ibu negeri?

KK Sentral — itulah yang sering bermain di imaginasi pengguna kenderaan awam di Sabah terutama sekali di Kota Kinabalu yang sampai kini tiada terminal bas yang sebenar.

Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Musa Aman, perlu belajar dari Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Tan Sri Taib Mahmud, dalam hal ini. Dan, dalam kadar yang cepat, memandangkan negeri “kaya” seperti Sabah bakal dimalukan kalau tiada idea dan tidak mampu membina sebuah pun terminal bas di ibu negerinya !

Stamp Out Imported Malayan Hegemony

Kota Kinablau: “The Sabah government must assert its authority and stamp out any attempt to impose imported Malayan hegemony over Sabah and her citizens” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief in voicing his concerns over the sudden and unusual transfer of 7 non-Malay Sessions judges/magistrates to the Peninsular.

It is highly unusual that 7 Borneo native non-Muslim judges and magistrates are transferred in one go.  This transfer and consequential replacements with Malayans raise doubts and questions over the motives of the federal leaders in their treatment of Sabahans/Sarawakians.

The PM himself had whipped up expectations of Sabahans especially the PBS delegates at their general assembly by asking Sabahans to wait for Friday’s Budget announcement.

Allah bermaksud tuhan, semua jenis tuhan, kata sarjana agama

Sarjana agama terkemuka dari Amerika Syarikat Reza Aslan turut sepakat dalam kritikan terhadap larangan penggunaan kalimah Allah di Malaysia dan mengatakan keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan minggu lalu merupakan satu keputusan politik.

Dalam satu wawancara bersama radio BFM, Reza (gambar) menegaskan, penganut Kristian menggunakan kalimah Allah yang membawa maksud Tuhan dalam bahasa Arab dan ianya bukanlah satu ancaman kepada Islam.

"Pengganas Taliban meletakkan bom bersama Al-Quran dan membawanya ke sebuah masjid di Pakistan pada Hari Raya Korban. Inilah ancaman kepada Islam," katanya.
