Sabah police in surprise raid on SAPP HQ

Why is the Barisan Nasional government so
paranoid of the word Bersih and yellow
colour? asks a party leader.

KOTA KINABALU: The word ‘Bersih’ (clean) will need some cleaning up after police found it inappropriate to be used on a signboard here.

Police in a midnight operation at the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) headquarters in the city questioned officials on a signpost painted with the Malay slogan “Bersih, Berani and Benar” (Clean, Brave and Truth).

Rally participants not creating havoc, it’s the police

The federal government was wrong to backtrack
on its promise to allow Bersih 2.0 to hold its
rally in an indoor stadium, says Sabah
politician Jeffrey Kitingan.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah NGO, United Borneo Front (UBF), has urged the federal government to allow the Bersih 2.0 rally organisers to hold the event in a stadium and not make it difficult for the people to access the venue.

Its president, Jeffrey Kitingan, said that by creating unnecessary road blocks, the police would be the ones creating traffic havoc, and not the rally participants.

By Raja Petra Kamarudin

All of us know what happened in Perak. However what many do not know is why it happened.

If you can remember, it took one week for the Perak and Selangor State Governments to be sworn in after the March 2008 General Election. The Sultans of these two states wanted to first ‘discuss the matter’ with members of the Pakatan Rakyat State Assembly. The Sultans then set certain terms and conditions before agreeing to swear in the new Pakatan Rakyat State Governments.
