BN will win big in Sabah

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Despite the political mayhem in Sabah, it is possible that Barisan Nasional (BN) will again win big in the state in the coming general election.

In fact, BN could win all 25 parliamentary seats and all the 60 state assembly seats as well as the sole MP seat in Labuan.

Mind you, in the last general election in 2008, Sabah BN lost only two seats – the Kota Kinabalu parliamentary seat and the state seat in Sri Tanjung .

Both seats went to DAP. This time though, it is possible that DAP will lose both seats to BN.

STAR's Direction for Sabah Crystal Clear - Dr. Jeffrey

STAR Sabah’s direction is crystal clear and the clearest amongst all the parties in Sabah.  STAR Sabah seeks the restoration of Sabah as 1 of 3 equal partners in Malaysia and its struggle is made clear with the Borneo Agenda and its 7 core demands” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in response to Lajim’s statement published in the Daily Express yesterday.

Unlike the recent remarks by a Sabah Umno leader, Sabah and Sarawak are not equal to the States in Peninsular and, more importantly, Sabah and Sarawak did not join Malaysia as the 12th and 13th States.

‘Sabah Muslims are Umno Malay wannabes’

KOTA KINABALU: Umno leaders in Sabah are working openly to take away whatever little rights Sabahans have left, State Reform Party (STAR) Sabah deputy chairman Awang Ahmad Sah alleged today.

“It is shocking to see them working very hard to deny and further erode the rights of Sabahans.

“They don’t care what happen to us as long as Umno stays in power,” he said, adding that Muslims in Sabah who are not Malays are “trying very hard to be more Malay” than the real Malays from Peninsular Malaysia.

Star Kuamut leader in a thick of action to help accident victims

Man of action and compassion...

Recently a Star state committee member from Kuamut, James Ait, stumbled upon an accident involving a motorcycle and a four-wheel drive vehicle at the border of Beluran and Kinabatangan parliamentary areas. He took the lead in helping the victims and even went to hospital with them to help...

According to James, it is high time that Tongod should have its own police station and not be left depending on a far-away Bukit Garam police station deep in Kinabatangan.

QEH is 158 days delayed, please explain

By Dr Felix Chong of State Reform Party (Star)

KOTA KINABALU : I call upon the authorities concerned to explain why the new twin-tower blocks of Queen Elizabeth II Hospital are further delayed despite the government's earlier and constant pledge it would be completed on time.

It is now learned that the twin-tower is already 158 days behind schedule and according to a reliable source works now seem to be getting even slower with the unfavourable weather conditions.
