Pairin's silence on NCR is moral abhorance to KDMs

By Peter Marajin 

KOTA KINABALU : In respond to Johnny Mositun's statement over the above issue, i would say that Joseph Pairin Kitingan just cannot hide behind the cultural nature of KDCA and use this as an excuse to remain mute in the wake of the onslaught on KDM's native customary lands.

Pairin cannot completely detach himself from this issue given his position as the Deputy Chief Minister of the very government which bent on destroying the NCR of the KDMs whose native ethnic he himself belong to.

Pairin cannot turn a blind eye on the fact that being a President of KDCA he has a moral duty to protect and safeguard the rights of his people from being unjustly treated in their very own land.

Beliau optimis BN pasti tumbang pada PRU13 jika
jentera pilihanraya kukuh dan mantap.

 TENOM: Presiden Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee menegaskan bahawa parti itu akan terus membela nasib rakyat yang tertindas kerana masalah rampasan tanah dan hak asasi tanah anak negeri (NCR) seperti yang berlaku di Kinabatangan, Serudong Tawau, Kudat, Tenom dan diLahad Datu setelah parti itu diberi mandat rakyat membentuk kerajaan baru selepas pilihanraya umum kali ke-13 (PRU13).

KOTA KINABALU: A new citizen movement that has demanded that oil royalty for Sabah should be at least 70 percent, Oil for Future Movement (OFF), now wants state-owned Petronas to repay all study loans from PTPN (National Higher Education Fund Corporation) by Sabahan students.

OFF chairman, Phillip Among, said thousands from Sabah who had loaned study aids from the government-controlled PTPN have become victims instead of the scheme when they could not find jobs for courses taken under the PTPN loan.
