A ‘donkey’ is better than Taib

KUCHING – Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS) leader Francis Paul Siah said today that Sarawak would be better off having a ‘donkey’ for a chief minister than Abdul Taib Mahmud.

“Taib’s sycophants in Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu (PBB) who had lambasted MoCS for its campaign to oust Taib seem to think that the chief minister is the smartest and most capable man in Sarawak who should rule forever.

“Lest we forget, some of the early leaders of Sarawak were illiterate. A former Sarawak minister in the Federal Cabinet never went to school. Two former Sarawak chief ministers were not highly educated.

Sabah leaders put in a fix over ‘Borneonisation’ suit

The Sabah government and the ruling BN members must support
the legal action, says UBF chairman Jeffrey Kitingan.

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government and the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition members have been put in a quandary by a legal suit filed recently by two Sabahans against the federal and state governments for their failure to adhere to the Malaysia Agreement.

The sticking point is that almost 50 years after Sabah agreed to join the Federation of Malaya together with Sarawak and Singapore, the “Borneonisation” of the federal civil service as spelt out in the agreement has still not taken place.

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!”
 

Who is REALLY behind Malaysia Today?

They are always trying to speculate as to who could be behind Malaysia Today. Raja Petra is broke. Raja Petra has no money. Raja Petra could not afford to finance Malaysia Today. So surely there must be someone else behind Malaysia Today who is helping to finance the operation. It is impossible for Malaysia Today to operate otherwise.

No Holds Barred

Who is REALLY behind Malaysia Today? That has been the million-dollar question since way back in 2004 when Malaysia Today was first launched.

Sabah Government must support Borneonisation suit, says Jeffrey Kitingan

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU: The United Borneo Front (UBF) today urged the Sabah State Government to fully support the Borneonisation suit filed by Bernard Fung Fon Chen and Mohd Nazib Maidan Dally against the Federal Government and the State Government to compel for a speedy implementation of the Borneonisation of the Federal civil service in Sabah.

The article is fair but not altogether correct.

My clarifications are in bold.

KUCHING: The Movement of Change Sarawak (MoCS) head Francis Siah has called it quits, a day after a rally he organised to drum up public support to drive Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud out of office failed to materialise.

Explain land grab, CM told

Muslim natives in Kampung Rampayan want Chief Minister
Musa Aman to explain the controversial 'land grab'
involving 1,200 acres of of NCR land.

By Luke Rintod and Stephanie Sta Maria
KOTA BELUD: The Iranun community in Kampung Rampayan near here want their Kota Belud MP Abdul Rahman Dahlan to stop issuing statements from the comforts of swanky Petaling Jaya and to listen to their view on his ‘pet project’ – a 5-star resort in their poverty-stricken kampung.

According to Akim Salleh, deputy chairman of the Action Committee for Rampayan NCR Land, they had met Rahman, whom the villagers had accused of ‘selling’ off 1,200 acres of native customary (NCR) land to a private company after promising to help them resolve the issue, to explain their concerns.

Nails In The Fence

Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.
(Most importantly the last sentence)

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.  His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.  Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.  He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence..  Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.

Profusion of Ah Longs a sign of economic woes

By Daniel John Jambun

The decision by the Government Employees Co-operative Society Berhad (Kopeks) recently to settle debts owed by its members to Ah Longs to the hefty tune of RM500,000 made one wonder if Kopeks is not actually encouraging its members to go into debt, because it could easily bail them out anytime when the situation becomes critical. The bailout was a precedent that set a bad example of co-operative fund management.

It also reminded us how bad the economic situation in the Sabah is right now. If government servants can go into serious debt in spite of earning salaries, imagine the situation for those without jobs, and those in the rural areas who have to live off the land just to keep body and soul together. In this period of high inflation even those with salaries are in fact living below the poverty line.
