Ranau has had a string of elected representatives
at state and federal levels over the past 40
years but clean water has remained elusive.

KOTA KINABALU: A Barisan Nasional MP from Sabah has joined the chorus of criticism against the state government led by Chief Minister Musa Aman for failing to provide piped water to scores of villages in the interior of the state.

Ranau MP Siringan Gubat said villagers in his constituency have been relying on dirty water for their domestic use.

Speaking after a protest last week by some 60-odd villagers, Gubat said: “The people are relying on the water supply from the state-owned agency Rural Development Corporation (KPD) which is only meant for farming. This water is not fit for human consumption.”

Hindraf formalizes strategic partnershi​p with Sabah, S’wak activists

KUALA LUMPUR: Hindraf Makkal Sakthi, which prides itself on being a hydra-like ad hoc apolitical human rights movement straddling the divide in Peninsular Malaysia, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Kuala Lumpur on Tues 14 Aug, 2012 with veteran activists in Sabah and Sarawak. The MOU formalizes a long-running informal and ad hoc arrangement, a strategic partnership, uniquely spanning both sides of the South China Sea.

The MOU, being kept for the moment under wraps as a document, will take effect on Sept 16, the day Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak ostensibly came together in 1963 as equal partners without referendum and without a genuine written Constitution to form the new Federation of Malaysia.

KOTA KINABALU: Chief secretary to the government Dr Ali Hamsa’s credibility has come under question following his latest statement that “almost” all federal departments and agencies in Sabah are headed by Sabahans.

Oleh: Ambrose M Matthew

TENOM: Pergerakan Pemuda Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) meragui keberkesanan pelaksanaan RCI kerana TOR (Term of Reference) yang diumumkan Perdana Menteri Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak beberapa hari lalu, tidak terdapat langkah seperti mencari siapakah dalang yang bertanggungjawab termasuk menghukum orang yang terlibat.

Naib Ketua Pergerakan itu Rudy Sulaiman Mairi (gambar) berkata, demikian ketika mengulas isi kandungan 8 perkara TOR sebagai syarat dan terma pelaksanaan RCI diSabah yang disifatkannya sebagai sekadar “window dressing” untuk mematahkan isu tersebut dari terus memuncak, katanya dalam satu kenyataan disini pada Isnin.
