Sabahans, Stand Up For Your Rights

Kota Kinabalu: “The people of Sabah should stand up for their rights and for Sabah’s rights by rejecting internal colonialism practiced by Umno/BN in this election” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, at a political rally in Kg.Sunsuron, Tambunan, yesterday.

“If you do not stand up for your rights you will not only lose what you have but your dignity as well.  Look at Sabah (for example) an independent country rich with natural resources such as oil, gas and oil palm but reduced to being the poorest, subservient , dependent 12th State of Malaya because our leaders failed to stand up and defend our State rights.”

KOTA KINABALU:   “Sabahans must take this election seriously by voting STAR in order to free Ssabah from Malaya’s control and subservience” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in a press statement released today.

Jeffrey said “this election is about choosing to regain Sabah’s rights and dignity as an independent sovereign nation within the Federation or continuing to allow Kuala Lumpur and Malaya to rule and exploit Sabah as a mere colony and as the 12th state of Malaya.”

Jeffrey said “there is nothing personal in this election.  I am contending against the BarisanNasional candidate who happens to be my brother.   That’s all”.

Wedding photo 'stolen' for BN man's poster

This image was shared more than 5,000 time since Monday.

Most of you would be over the moon if your best work got picked out for the whole world to see.

But not so in the case of freelance photographer Nasrul Effendy, who woke up one day to find out that a wedding photo he once took was being used on a Barisan Nasional (BN) campaign banner in Putrajaya.

The portrait of a Malay couple taken by Nasrul on their wedding day in May, 2007 was used without his permission to ‘augment’ the campaign banner of BN's Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor in Putrajaya on Sunday.

The banner showed an image of Tengku Adnan along with two photos: one of the couple and another of an unsmiling single man, accompanied by the words “Bantuan Bujang 1Malaysia’ and “Bersyukurlah kepada BN” (Be grateful to BN).
