I wish to express my worry about what’s happening in Tuaran. We cannot deny that the district has developed quite a lot since independence in 1963. We have even seen how the district had produced a lot of leaders. It was the birthplace of the United Sabah Dusun Association (USDA) which had 80,000 members at one time. Tuaran was also the centre of the struggle of Pekemas with fearless and aggressive leaders like the late M. A. Rahman. Tuaran produced a charismatic leader in the person of OKK Indan Kari, who later became the governor of Sabah , then named Tun Hamdan Abdullah. We also had the famous Limbai Angkapon who would have been the Member of Parliament for Tuaran had he not died while campaigning, so giving victory by default to Buja Gumbilai in 1969.

UNHCR avoiding its responsibility to refugees – Australian and Malaysian refugee advocates
The UNHCR is completely misguided in offering any support whatsoever for the Malaysia refugee swap, according to Australian and Malaysian refugee advocates.
Richard Towle, Australian head of the UNHCR, was reported in the Fairfax press today as stating that ‘the assurances of legal stay and community-based reception’ in the Malaysia deal ‘can be seen as a more positive protection environment’ than detention in Australia, ‘provided the assurances are carefully monitored’.
