Perjuangan Datuk Dr Jeffrey Tulen Membela Hak Rakyat

Oleh: GONOD SUNDA

SETELAH sekian lama Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan menggerakkan matlmat perjuangannya secara perlahan dengan terpaksa menunggang kuda UBF atas sifatnya sebagai NGO, namun pada akhirnya Jeffrey mahu tidak mahu terjun sekali lagi dalam gelanggang politik.

Mungkin kerana telah disedarinya bahawa inilah masanya yang sesuai untuk melabuhkan tirai bagi gagasan Borneo Alliance (BA) turun gelanggang bertarung pada PRU13 setelah ‘bertapa’ menimba ilmu berbulan bulan lamanya sebelum ini.

Sabah trapped in divide-and-rule politics

The new 'Borneo Agenda' alliance, born of Jeffrey Kitingan,
has consigned the one party for all concept to the
dustbins of Sabah.

KOTA KINABALU: The entry of the Sarawak Reform Party (STAR) into Sabah through the membership of maverick politician Jeffrey Kitingan and his allies has opened the door to yet another multi-racial coalition in Sabah.

On the heels of the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) and the opposition Pakatan Rakyat, STAR’s link up with Jeffrey’s United Borneo Front (UBF) along with the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), Usno and the Sabah People Front (SPF) may be seen as the new-coalition-kid-on-the-block battling for the hearts and minds of Sabahans.

UPKO insincere – “Table Motion Or Shut Up UPKO”

By Edward Linggu

“UPKO is insincere and merely “cakap kosong” because of the forthcoming General Elections when its Secretary-General, Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau, said that Sabah and Sarawak should get 34% of the Parliamentary seats” said Edward Linggu, UBF Campaign Director.

Edward added that “UPKO is merely repeating UBF’s Borneo Agenda for political mileage to gain voters support. If UPKO is sincere and means what is says, UPKO should through its three Members of Parliament led by its President, Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, table a motion in Parliament to get the Elections Commission to allocate at least 35% of the MPs for Sabah and Sarawak.”

USNO Supports UBF and Forms Alliance to Fight for Sabah’s Rights

The newly revived USNO became the latest entity to support the United Borneo Front (UBF) and the fight for the restoration of Sabah’s rights in Malaysia. This was the message conveyed by protem USNO Vice-President, Abdullah Sani Hj. Salleh and protem Secretary-General, Datuk Arifin Datuk Abdul Salam in the presence of USNO die-hard supporters at a recent gathering at the birthplace of USNO in Kg. Tanjung Kapur, Kudat.

It Should Be At Least 35 %

By : UBF MEDIA

IN ORDER FOR Sabah and Sarawak to have a share in the law-making decision of parliament, the two states must have at least 35 percent of the parliamentary seats in Malaysia, not 34 percent as demanded by UPKO.

Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of the United Borneo Front (UBF) said this in response to the statement on the issue by Datuk Madius Tangau, the Secretary General of UPKO.

“We have made statements on this issue about six months ago as one of the key points being put forward by UBF to strengthen the Borneo Agenda,” Jeffrey said. “I am glad that the UPKO and the PBS are now joining the chorus of demands for our rights towards a more equitable share of decision making powers of the Borneo states.”

DR. J : UBF Commemorates USNO’s 50th Year At Its Birthplace

The United Borneo Front (UBF) led by its founding Chairman, Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, and its Natives Land and NCR Panel Taskforce chief, Phillip Among, joined in the impromptu celebrations to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of USNO during a recent Borneo Tea Party cum Family Day gathering held at Kg. Tanjung Kapor, Kudat, on 26th November, which was also attended by USNO die-hard supporters led by protem USNO Vice-President, Abdullah Sani and protem Secretary-General, Datuk Arifin Datuk Abdul Salam.

2012 Budget hollow, could be RM20b To RM36b, not RM4b: Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan

The exhortation of the 2012 State Budget rings hollow and the accolades by BN leaders and supporters are presumptuous and sometimes border on the “angkat ampu” type.  Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, the founder of the United Borneo Front (UBF) explained that while the 2012 State Budget of a record RM4.048 Billion may be the biggest in the history of the State, it needs to be seen in the perspective of a loss of some RM32 Billion of revenue “lost” to the Federal Government which could translate into a State Budget of RM36 Billion and even assuming a 50:50 revenue sharing formula with the Federal Government, the State Budget would still be at least RM20 Billion instead of RM4.0 Billion as presented by the Chief Minister last Friday.

Reverse Takeover Of Sabah Already Underway -- Jeffrey

KOTA KINABALU:  The United Borneo Front (UBF) believes Sabah will soon drown under the weight of the illegal immigrants unless the government carries out a commission of inquiry (RCI) on the problem and takes firm steps to solve it.

 

UBF Chairman, Datuk dr. Jeffrey Kitingan was saying in statement here in response to what he said was “shocking” announcement by the secretary general of the Women, Family and Community Ministry, Datuk Dr. Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur that locals are outnumbered by the immigrant population in the Kinabatangan district, where there are 117,689 foreigners compared to 32,638 locals.

UBF can use SAPP as vehicle to contest

TAWAU: The United Borneo Front (UBF) is welcome to use Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) as a vehicle to contest in the 13th general election as both parties share the same struggle.

SAPP vice president Datuk Chua Soon Bui said UBF is a non-governmental organisation and both parties already had a lot of dialogues and organised seminars on whether they are sharing the same mission and vision for the whole of Sabah, including the autonomy of Sabah.

Malaysia Day meaningless unless our rights and autonomy reinstated

CELEBRATING Malaysia Day on 16th September would be meaningless, hollow and empty unless the special rights and autonomy of Sabah and Sarawak as agreed, promised and assured by the Founding Fathers of Malaysia are fulfilled said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, the founder of the United Borneo Front (UBF).

The Founding Fathers of Malaysia from the Borneo States took great risks to agree and to be pushed and rushed into the merger with Malaya and Singapore to the extent of denying themselves (the Borneo States) the opportunity to attain political maturity first and to enjoy the freedom and practice of self-rule as what is now enjoyed by Brunei.

Term limit: Jeffrey mocks Sabah Umno men

Sabah's political maverick Jeffrey Kitingan, slams critics who
criticise his proposal to limit the terms of prime minister
and chief ministers.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno leaders are scrambling to kill off any debate on a proposal to limit the terms of a prime minister or chief ministers to two consecutive stints in the top post.

The proposal by United Borneo Front (UBF) chairman Jeffrey Kitingan last week has set off a rash of criticism from leaders and members in Umno, who currently enjoys a stranglehold on the prime minister’s post as well as the top positions in states under Barisan Nasional (BN) control.

Calls For Maximum Two Terms For Cm And Pm Posts

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah—Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of Borneo Heritage Foundation’s United Borneo Front (UBF), has called upon the Federal Government to put in place a national policy that all Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers vacate their positions and make way for new faces after a maximum two terms.

Stop lying about history of Malaysia's Formation- Dr. Jeffrey

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government should stop lying about the history of Malaysia and restate correctly the facts of history to stop the confusion.

 

Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, the Chairman of the United Borneo Front (UBF) made this call at a Borneo Tea Party organized by Sikinor Gunu at Kg. Malangang, Kiulu, on 01 September 2011.  “This continuous lying is an affront to the founding fathers of Malaysia and a gross injustice to Sabah and Sarawak,” he said.

 

Focus must shift to East Malaysia, says Dr Jeffrey

TUARAN: The United Borneo Front sees the Federal Government development priority as committing “gross injustice” for Sabah and Sarawak, hence it must shift its focus most of its development funds to the Borneo states as soon as possible.

 

In a speech at a UBF Tea Party in Kg. Telibong here last week, UBF’s Chairman, Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, pointed out what he calls the great anomaly in development allocation in the country in which the federal government collects RM15 to RM18 billion in taxes from Sabah per year, not yet including the 5 percent Sabah is supposed to get as royalty for its oil.

 

Malaysia Independence House In Dilemma

By : UBF MEDIA
 DATUK Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, the head of the United Borneo Front (UBF) called upon the State Government to protect lands in Sabah and Native Customary Rights (NCR) and to not only stop further alienation of lands to non-Sabahan natives but also to stop taking over native lands for whatever excuses.

Dr. Jeffrey had supported the reasons put forward by the Sedomon family through Nilakrisna James, UBF co-founder and granddaughter of OKK Sedomon Bin OKK Gunsanad, who had voiced the Sedomon family’s objection to the proposed takeover of the Sedomon ancestral home in Bingkor to be converted into a Warisan Budaya by the Jabatan Muzium Sabah.

Sabah-based BN components should call Umno’s bluff and join UBF

By Daniel John Jambun

What is happening to the BN in Sabah? If one were to make a simple observation, it would be obvious that all is not well, and it has been so for a long time now. While Umno is having its own internal strife, it is also embroiled in clashes with the other component parties which Umno treats with contempt. We can go back to 2008 when the then president of LDP resigned his post as Deputy Chief Minister suddenly without stating any reason, and causing a lot of speculation. Since then Umno leaders had antagonized LDP at various levels, including demanding for seats currently held by LDP. Then it demanded seats held by Upko, causing an Upko leader to retort sarcastically, “Go ahead and take it!”

March launch for Jeffrey’s ‘new’ party

Luke Rintod of FMT

ENTILIBON: Barring any “incidents”, Sabah and Sarawak will soon have a “Borneo Alliance” that can collectively “hold” the 56 parliamentary seats in the states and be in a position to decide the fate of peninsula-based political coalitions.

Revealing this to villagers here, some 240km from Kota Kinabalu, United Borneo Front (UBF) chief Jeffrey Kitingan
