Puisi Perjuangan

Kekuatan Mencapai Kemenangan

Ini bukan sekadar percubaan
Atau sengaja menguji kekuatan

Bukan pula hanya sekadar impian
Jauh sekali mainan menggapai awan

Begitu kita melangkah
Ranjau duri pun tidak lagi dikesah

Dengan iman kita melihat pemulihan
Dengan iman kita merasai pembaharuan
Dengan iman kita melakukan pembebasan
Dengan iman kita bertindak memulangkan

Kasih-Nya tidak pernah berkesudahan
Untuk semua umat-Nya yang bertahan

Berjuang selamanya untuk Sabah
Sehingga jasad tersemadi di tanah

SAPP wants clarification on special fund to MPs and ADUNs

KOTA BELUD : Starting last year the Federal Government allocated a special fund called "touch point" or "sentuhan kasih" of a slightly more than RM1 million for each of the Barisan Nasional MP, including those in Sabah.

This fund according the record went straight into the bank accounts of these MPs and it was entirely up to them to spend it as long as it is helping the people including in their emergency needs like during flooding or to help the poor replace the broken rooftop of their houses.

Does Rosmah deserve the Curtin award?

It must be sad for the prime minister's wife, Rosmah Mansor, that for receiving an honorary doctorate from a foreign university, she got so much flak.The university that awarded it, Curtin University of Western Australia, was hit with brickbats too, judging by the strongly-worded postings on its Facebook page after the award was announced. Curtin was probably astonished by the reception.

As one commentor wrote:"Curtin dear, you didn't anticipate these at all, did you?"

Jeffrey reply to Pairin Statement

Dr Jeffrey G. Kitingan

My brother tells only half
of the truths

I called this Press Conference in response to what my brother, Tan Sri Pairin, was quoted as having said in Keningau yesterday and which appeared in the front page of the Daily Express today.

Firstly, I need to categorically state that what was said by my brother are all lies and half-truths. Secondly, when he refer to “them” he shows his desperation to cling to power and his fear of losing power.

Thirdly, I have said it before and I say it again that this elections has nothing to do with family matters.

He is my elder brother and I have nothing against him and I love him as any brother would do but I love the people and this country more.

Kerajaan mesti ikhlas satu-padukan rakyat

Oleh Raymond Tombung

Dalam satu ceramah, A Plea for Unity (Satu Gesaan untuk Perpaduan) di Kuala Lumpur beberapa hari yang lalu Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (Ku Li), telah mengkritik pendirian Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Hussin yang pernah berkata dia terlebih dahulu adalah seorang Melayu dan kemudian barulah seorang Malaysia (I am a Malay first and a Malaysian second).

Katanya, ini adalah satu pendirian yang merupakan tamparan kepada hasrat murni yang terkandung dalam dasar 1Malaysia yang sedang giat dipromosikan oleh Perdana Menteri. Ku Li menyatakan ini untuk menyuarakan kerisauannya tentang masalah perpaduan antara kaum yang menjadi semakin retak di Malaysia, dan sedih sekali DPM sendiri mementingkan kemelayuannya lebih dari perpaduan rakyat Malaysia.
