“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.

Activist convinced Dr Jeffrey sincere in his struggle

PENAMPANG : A social and consumerism activist here said the recent action taken by some pioneers of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) from Kepayan to finally leave the party and joined an opposition State Reform Party (STAR) is laudable.

Donny Yapp, 48, said it is a pleasant shock to many yet a historic brave move that signaled the Chinese warming up to Dr Jeffrey's untiring struggle to fight for Sabah state rights and autonomy.

STAR supports extra seats for Sabah, Sarawak
