UMNO, MIC & MIC

There are three major races in Malaysia. They are the Malay, Chinese and Indian. The Malay has the political power and so they set up the party UMNO which literally means “U Must Not Object”.

While the Chinese controlled the economy and they called their party MCA which means “Money Conquered All”.

Lastly, the Indian who has no say in politic or economics, set up their party called MIC. Hence, every parliamentary meeting the Indians would ask: “Must I Come?”

Give Jeffrey a chance, Sabah Chinese urged

By Luke Rintod of FMT

The maverick politician
may have found the person
he needs to help him win
over a community that
distrusts him for switching
parties too often.

KOTA KINABALU: One of Jeffrey Kitingan’s most difficult tasks as a politician is to win the trust of the Chinese community, and he may have found the help he needs in consumer-rights advocate Ronny Yapp.

Yapp, a respected figure in the community for his work with the now defunct Consumers Association of Sabah and Labuan (Cash), released a media statement yesterday calling on Sabah Chinese to back Jeffrey in his new role as chairman of the Sabah chapter of the State Reform Party (STAR).

Open Letter to Dato Jacob Dungau

Dato Jacob Dungau Sagan
Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry


Level 15, Block 10,
Government Office Complex,
Jalan Duta,

Dear Datuk,


Because your roots are from Ulu Telang Usan (Long Anap Baram), Antique, I know that you can identify with me and can relate to what I am saying in this letter.

Not too long ago, we tried several attempts to stop timber companies from cutting our trees and ruin our lands. It took every bit of our determination, stamina, and courage to take the matters in our own hand without your support. Now, while we are still healing from the battle scars from our encounter with blockages, we are yet again facing another bigger enemy on CM Taib Mahmud and his cronies’ plan that wants to flood the entire upper Telang Usan for the “The Baram Dam”.

Ini Kali lah! – Don’t Forego this Opportunity to Save Sabah

“Sabahans must stand united in the coming elections and vote for an alternative government, irrespective of their political ideologies, if they want to SAVE SABAH from further damage and deterioration. Ini Kali lah” reached out Awang Ahmad Sah Datuk Awang Sahari, Deputy Chairman of STAR Sabah.

• Imagine if the Malaysia Agreement had been complied with!
• Imagine if the 20-Points were implemented!
• Imagine if Sabah were in control of its revenue, development funds and tariffs!
• Imagine if Sabah collects at least RM15-20 billion each year instead of RM3.6 billion”
• Imagine if Sabah did not give up its oil resources OR got more than the current 5% royalties!
• Imagine if Sabah were in control of its immigration, borders and security!

Whether you take Friday 13th superstitions at face value or think they are nothing more than urban legends, here are 13 unlucky - and sometimes tragic - events that have occurred on Friday the 13th.
