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.

Whose side is DAP on?

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has questioned whose side is Sabah DAP on following its latest attack over SAPP's flags put up all over Sabah in conjunction with the party's third anniversary pull-out from the Barisan Nasional (BN) on Sept 17, 2008.

"Why must DAP keep on attacking SAPP instead of BN-Umno?" asked SAPP Vice President cum Head of Negotiating Committee with DAP on seats and policies, Dullie Hj. Marie.

He said the action by Sabah DAP reinforced the notion that it was colluding with Umno as happened during the Batu Sapi Parliamentary by-election last year.

Malaya bleeding us dry

By Zainal Ajamain

Putrajaya's version of history has contaminated the minds
of children and stripped Sabahans of their dignity,
says economist and author Zainal Ajamain.

These words “we demand autonomy or Sabah Negeri, Merdeka” must be on the lips and hearts of all true leaders in Sabah.

On both sides of Sabah’s political divide, our leaders have long been incapacitated by their fear of their perceived Malaya masters.

They will not speak out against the daily injustices towards fellow Sabahans. And even when they do speak up it is just passive shouting – a token resistance, just to show they are saying something.

Citizenship applicants told to ‘vote for ruling party’

Pemerhati: Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad and children – Mukhriz, Marina, etc – according to tradition, where the children take on the ethnicity of their father, are also Indians because his father was the son of an Indian from Kerala.

The Malaysian constitution also allows people like Mahathir, who are Muslims, who speak Malay and follow Malay customs, to call themselves Malays.

Wikileaks: SPR pernah keluarkan 60,000 IC palsu

Kabel diplomatik Amerika Syarikat yang bocor mendedahkan bahawa bekas pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman mengakui beliau pernah mengeluarkan lebih daripada 60,000 kad pengenalan palsu kepada pekerja-pekerja asing di Sabah pada sekitar tahun 1990-an – atas arahan Umno.

Kabel yang dimuat-naikkan di portal pembocor maklumat Wikileaks memetik bekas ketua Rakyat Malaysia untuk Pilihan Raya Bebas dan Adil (Mafrel) Malek Husin sebagai mendakwa bahawa Rashid (kiri) mengakui perkara ini dalam pertemuan peribadi di rumah Rashid pada 25 Oktober, 2006.

Dalam kabel yang ditandakan sulit itu, Malek dilaporkan memberitahu pegawai Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat di Kuala Lumpur bahawa Rashid juga mengesahkan Umno telah melancarkan kempen ‘kotor’ pada tahun 1990-an untuk merampas Sabah – yang dikuasai sehingga 1994 oleh PBS yang berada di barisan pembangkang ketika itu.
