By Ezra Haganez

KOTA BELUD: The local grapevine in Kota Belud is abuzz over a scheduled visit by Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, seen as an attempt to soothe uneasiness among the local Dusun natives ahead of a crucial general election.

Word is that Zahid is coming to Sabah to, among others, attend a briefing and visit areas in Kem Paradise that could be excised and later be “given back” to the surrounding Dusun Tindal villages in the area.

Kem Paradise is a huge army training base in Kota Belud. It’s probably the only military base in the world that shares its turf with densely populated villages.

Jinu bin Losukin @Raju Homeless, odd-jobs worker, 39, Kuala Lumpur

In our February State of the Vision Issue, we asked the man on the street, from all walks of life, what they feel about the state of our country. Renowned journalist and documentarian Danny Lim travelled across Malaysia to speak to friends, strangers and demographics we would normally never sit and have a chat with. We present two extremes from this piece: Raju, a homeless man living in KL, and Dr Vincent Chian, an educator who is working to improve schools in Malaysia.


KDM Malaysia not bowing to critics

KENINGAU: The leadership of Kadazandusun and Murut (KDM) Malaysia will not bow down to all the criticisms being levelled at the non-governmental organization (NGO) by various quarters as it is sincere in helping the less fortunate, said its deputy president Datuk Peter Anthony.

He said there is a need to counter media statements by certain leaders here who accused the group of hiding behind an NGO in order for it to spread a different agenda to the people.


PBS MAN CRIES FOUL OVER UMNO DOMINATING POSTS IN DUSUN KAMPUNGS

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA BELUD:
A local Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) member from Kampung Pangi in Kelawat near here, Dumit Banati, had questioned the rationale of putting in perpetuity UMNO leaders as Village Headman in a predominantly Dusun kampung with many PBS members.

"Recently, the long-serving Ketua Kampung of Kg Pangi who was an UMNO member was replaced by yet another UMNO member, recommended by UMNO.

"Just where is the so-called power-sharing when only UMNO men could be considered for even ketua kampung post? And worse sometimes even the Pengerusi JKKK of the same kampung is also from UMNO," he told Borneo Herald.
