PKR is worse than Umno, alleges ex-PKR division chief

By Raymond Tombung

KOTA KINABALU: Former PKR Sepangar Chief, Felix Sitaun said he left the party for STAR because he saw STAR as the real hope for Sabah.

“I now fully believe that Sabah should be governed by local parties, not by parties from the Peninsular,” he said in statement here. “And I can see that if PKR rules Sabah, it will be even worse that the present Umno/BN state government.”

“STAR: Safeguarding Sabah’s Rights Not Sabah for Sabahans”

“STAR Sabah stands by its position that only local parties that genuinely fight for Sabah’s rights can safeguard Sabah’s rights and not outside parties or local parties or local leaders subservient to outsiders from the Peninsular. STAR is fighting for the Borneo Agenda and NOT for Sabah for Sabahans” replied Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chairman, in reference to the explanation by PKR Sepanggar acting chief, Timothy Thomas Lim.

“STAR: Govt Must Solve NCR Problems Not Talk”

“The State Government should immediately take remedial action to solve the NCR and other land problems and not waste precious time to discuss whether it recognizes native customary rights (NCR) after 1930 as opined by the State Attorney General that NCR were extinguished by the Land Ordinance, 1930” stated Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chairman, in response to the statement by the Chief Minister that the Cabinet had discussed NCR at length and will be seeking the views of BN component parties and other experts

‘Sabah, Sarawak’s ‘right’ to have more parliament seats’

By Luke Rintod of FMT

Sabah's land area may be equivalent to nine states in
the peninsula, but its representation in Parliament
does not reflect this.

KOTA KINABALU: Going by the spirit of the 1963 Malaysia Agreement, Sabah and Sarawak should have a minimum 78 seats in the current 222-seat Dewan Rakyat. But in reality this has never happened. Sabah and Sarawak currently have a collective 56 seats in Parliament.

Demanding for a review in the number of seats, State Reform Party (STAR) Sabah chapter chairman Jeffrey Kitingan said both states must collectively have at least 35 % of seats in parliament.
