Sabah’s right: Jeffrey disputes historian’s view

A Universiti Malaya professor claims that Sabah and
Sarawak cannot 'legally' secede from Malaysia.

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysian history professor DS Ranjit has come under fire in Sabah for declaring that the people of the state no longer have the fundamental right to self-determination as their legislators had surrendered that power a long time ago.

The Universiti Malaya historian, whose talk entitled “Sabah prospects and retrospect: The aftermath of colonial rule” here on Thursday, put forward the argument that the British colony which had joined Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya to form Malaysia on Sept 16, 1963, would never be able to legally withdraw from the union.

KOTA BELUD: Rakyat Sabah jangan terlalu mengagungkan pemimpin asing yang sedang menikmati kekayaan di Negeri sendiri. Kita harus meneruskan perjuangan Tun Fuad Donald Stephen selepas pertikaian isu minyak yang dilihat perkara itu sebagai melanggar pembentukan Malaysia dan menjajah ekonomi Sabah.

Apa yang kita dapat lihat pembangunan hari ini, hanyalah satu wayang kepada kerajaan pusat dan ini melambangkan bahawa rakyat Sabah hanyalah anak patung yang tidak bersuara dan seekor binatang yang hanya menurut perintah mereka sahaja. Cukuplah kita ditindas dari semua arus pembangunan perdana yang dilakukan oleh parti BN/UMNO.

Why is BN afraid of white paper on SAS?

By Daniel John Jambun

We all know the protracted issue of Saham Amanah Sabah (SAS) which was launched on a share value of RM1 and then got reduced to 20 sen ("Cheaper than kueh pisang," as many people put it) and caused a loss of more than RM400 million involving 55,000 investors.

And it is still raging today, with certain groups, especially BN leaders trying to point their accusing fingers at Datuk Yong Teck Lee who happened to be the Chief Minister when SAS was introduced.

Utusan Must Apology To All Christian

UTUSAN'S allegation was then featured on the front page of Utusan Malaysia on May 7. Another blog ‘Marahku’ also carried the allegation, reporting a plan to make Christianity the official religion of Malaysia and for a Christian to be Prime Minister.

Tim Hii, DAP Sabah ApiApi Branch Assistant secretary, has called for Utusan license to be revoked as its allegations against Christians, have caused severe defamations to Christian Malaysians' good image.

Utusan had dropped a bomb, which could potentially jeopardize the peace and harmony we Malaysians have long enjoyed regardless of races and religions. Tim elaborated.
