Poverty in Ranau

By Luke Rintod of FMT

RANAU: Surrounded by the rural-most parts of several poverty-stricken districts bordering it, Ranau is often considered better off than its neighbours. But that’s a misconception. It is well in contention for the poorest district in Sabah.

An undulating land, famed for its vegetable terraces at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu, Ranau is still known for its rustic and hard lifestyle.

Here in Ranau, basic amenities are few and far between.

Kenapa setiap kali menjelang pilihanraya, mesti ada pendaftaran bergerak di Sabah ?

Oleh James Ait

TONGOD : Kenapa setiap kali menjelang pilihanraya, mesti ada pendaftaran bergerak di Sabah? Seolah-olah rakyat Malaysia akan beranak lebih kerap atau ada kanak-kanak Malaysia yang tiba-tiba cukup umur untuk mendapatkan Kad Pengenalan di negeri ini menjelang pilihanraya. Adalah lebih baik sekiranya ada pemantauan melalui hospital dan klinik mengenai nisbah kelahiran dan pembuatan kad pengenalan.

STAR Ups Unity and Takes Penampang and Sepanggar By Storm

“STAR Sabah has forged ahead in adopting the “UNITY IS DUTY” call of the United Borneo Front (UBF) and fostered greater unity and support in seeking the rights and autonomy of Sabah” announced Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah, in welcoming John Ho, a pioneer of PBS and branch chairman of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Taman Oriental Park, Kapayan, at the launching of the KOKAKOBA fellowship last Sunday, 4th March, in Kapayan, Penampang.

Since 1963 Sabah has lost its autonomy and downgraded from a nation within a nation to one of 13 states in Malaysia and to the extent of being cheated and treated as a colony with a loss of political power with leaders being elected with the help of outsiders.

Will Sabah BN/PR Ask for 50% Oil Royalties

Dr. Felix Chong

“Will Sabah DAP lead Sabah Pakatan and ask for 50% oil revenue for Sabah and more particularly demand for 50% if and when Pakatan forms the next federal government” asked Dr. Felix Chong Kat Fah of STAR Sabah.

“Similarly, will the Sabah BN ask for 50% of the oil revenue for Sabah?”

“As part of STAR Sabah’s causes and aspirations for Sabah, STAR is seeking an increase of the oil revenue to 50% nett revenue. It is set out in STAR’s Petroleum Masterplan which is comprehensive and covers a wide range of policies for Sabah’s oil and gas beneficial to Sabah and Sabahans.”

Ketua Pemuda UMNO Keningau Buta Sejarah?

Komentar oleh Azroy

Saya sebenarnya tidak begitu berminat memberikan pandangan balas terhadap komentar Sdra Azman Hj Ruslan, Ketua Pemuda UMNO Keningau di sebuah akhbar baru-baru ini. Saya lebih berasa malu bahawa di Sabah ini masih ada pemimpin yang agak buta sejarah. Atas kesedaran itu maka saya cuma ingin kongsikan kepada warga

Sabah bahawa jangan lagi keliru dengan kenyataan pemimpin-pemimpin seperti ini. Sabah BUKAN MERDEKA melalui pembentukan Malaysia. Sabah telah merdeka 16 hari sebelum pembentukan Malaysia.

Don’t Be Childish, Don’t Throw Stones In Own Glasshouse

By Dr Felix Chong

Some DAP Sabah leaders need to stop acting like a spoilt brat and think and act maturely. It is also unadvisable to throw stones in your own glass house.

A local DAP Sabah official appears to want to pick a quarrel, wash dirty linen in public and belittle Sarawakians and the Penans.

I do not intend to stoop to such low levels and embarrass him further added Dr. Felix.

“Stop Fooling Sabahans - STAR”

By Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan
“Politicians and political parties from Peninsula should learn to respect the people of Sabah if they are sincere in helping them and the State instead of referring to them merely as political “fixed deposit” and as voters that can help them retain or conquer Putrajaya” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, the STAR Sabah Chief.

He said “Sabahans are now more politically matured”.
