Tarani Palani

SAPP says the majority of the PSC members are from the Peninsula who would not understand the true situation in Sabah and Sarawak.

Kota Kinabalu turning into a ‘death trap’?

Love is blind

A guy went up to his father saying:

"Daddy, I fell in love and want to date this awesome girl!"

Father: That's great son. Who is it?

Son: It's Sandra, the neighbour's daughter.

Father: Ohhhh I wish you hadn't said that. I have to tell you something son, but you must promise not to tell your mother.. Sandra is actually your sister.

The boy is naturally bummed out, but life goes on, and indeed, a couple of months later ...

Son: Daddy, I fell in love again and she is even hotter!

Father: That's great son. Who is it?

Son: It's Angela, The other neighbour's daughter.

Father: Ohhhh I wish you hadn't said that. Angela is also your sister.

This went on couple of times and the son was so mad, he went straight to his mother crying.

Son: Mum I am so mad at dad! I fell in love with six girls but I can't date any of them because dad is their father!

The mother hugs him affectionately and says:

"My love, you can date whomever you want. He isn't your father".

Illegal immigrants more than a quarter of Sabah population

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) reiterated its call to the state government to take serious action to resolve the illegal immigrant problem in the state.

SAPP vice president Don Chin said only positive action by the state government would be able to protect the rights of Sabahans and reinstate public security.

He said Sabah has the highest population of immigrants, including illegal immigrants, as compared to other states in Malaysia.

Stop giving IPPs easy money, govt told

Renegotiation of power purchasing agreements (PPAs) must be completed by Nov 30 this year or the country will continue to bleed money into independent power producers (IPP), the Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia (AWER) said today.

Any delay in renegotiations between the government and IPPs would give the IPPs leverage to bulldoze exorbitant project bids to build new power plants on the excuse of lack of time, the NGO said.

Kenapa ‘Petualang Sabah’ Diberi Anugerah?

Saudara Pengarang,

SURAT terbuka ini saya tujukan kepada Ketua Menteri Sabah, Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman, bagi pihak Kerajaan Negeri Sabah yang telah menganugerahkan pingat Tertinggi Kebesaran Negeri Sabah, ‘S.P.D.K’ yang membawa Gelaran ‘Datuk Seri Panglima’ kepada dua orang ‘Petualang’ di Sabah iaitu Datuk Seri Panglima Hishamuddin Tun Hussien dan Datuk Seri Panglima Mohd Shafie Apdal.

‘Not much difference between DAP and Umno’

United Borneo Front president Jeffrey Kitingan also warns
Sabahans to beware of Barisan Nasional which is bent on
moving towards extremism to perpetuate its hold on power.

KOTA KINABALU: Peninsular-based DAP is bullying local opposition Sabah Progressive party (SAPP) just like how they (including PKR) thumbed Sarawak Nasional Party (SNAP) in the runup to the polls on April 16, said United Borneo Front president Jeffrey Kitingan.

According to Jeffrey, DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang had started on a wrong footing in Sabah with his arrogant attitude and by pitting local (opposition) parties against each other.

Pairin can’t solve illegals problem with his committee

By Daniel John Jambun

It has been said that we shouldn’t have too many ambitions; we might achieve them! And Tan Sri Pairin’s appointment as head of the Sabah Committee on illegal immigrants is certainly case in which he got more than what he asked for. He had given the government until 2012 to solve the illegals problem, and now, as if to oversatisfy him, the government has given him the whip and said, “Now, it’s all yours.”

 

Projek IC - Denial by Deputy Minister is to protect Umno

KOTA KINABALU, Sep 30: The denial statement by Deputy Home Minister Dato' Lee Chee Leong on the existence of Project IC in Sabah is a slap on all the state Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties that have been raising the issues all this while.

Reverse Takeover Of Sabah Already Underway -- Jeffrey

KOTA KINABALU:  The United Borneo Front (UBF) believes Sabah will soon drown under the weight of the illegal immigrants unless the government carries out a commission of inquiry (RCI) on the problem and takes firm steps to solve it.

 

UBF Chairman, Datuk dr. Jeffrey Kitingan was saying in statement here in response to what he said was “shocking” announcement by the secretary general of the Women, Family and Community Ministry, Datuk Dr. Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur that locals are outnumbered by the immigrant population in the Kinabatangan district, where there are 117,689 foreigners compared to 32,638 locals.

MCLM Condemns Abuse Of Immigration Powers By Sarawak State Government

On 29th September, 2011, I was scheduled to speak that evening at a Rakyat Reform Agenda forum organised by Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) at the Grand Continental Hotel, Kuching, Sarawak.  

Similar forums had, on the 27th and 28th September, been successfully held at Kota Kinabalu and Tawau respectively.

Illegals on the rise, special task force silent

Sabah's demographic landscape has been infused with a new 'Melayu'
race, which is overtaking the native Bajaus and Irranuns.

Decades after its inception, Sabahans are now asking what has happened to the Federal Special Task Force for Sabah and Labuan (FSTF), set up in Sabah with the aim of rounding up illegal immigrants and cleansing the state of them.

The FSTF in Sabah, set up during the premiership of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has completely avoided the media in the past years.

Mystery of the detained airman

An air force wife makes a police report about her
husband’s mysterious arrest and the harassment
of her family

LABUAN: The RMAF has detained a flight sergeant for mysterious reasons and has been subjecting his family to harassment, according to a police report that his wife lodged here early last week.

Norisah Ismail told FMT that two lieutenant colonels “barged” into her flat on Sept 11 without a search warrant, fired off confusing questions at her and warned her “not to behave” like PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Compromise politics and the battle for the middle ground

By Farish A. Noor

And so, after what appears to have been a rather long meeting that stretched beyond four hours, the Pakatan Rakyat coalition has come to a compromise, of sorts.

That the result of the compromise may not be to the satisfaction of everyone is to be expected. But nor should anyone expect such a discussion to lead to definite results with one side surrendering all its claims to another. That’s the nature of coalition politics and anyone with any experience or knowledge of coalition politics in Western European countries like France, Germany, Holland, Greece or Italy would know that as well. Furthermore it ought to be noted that in some countries like Italy where compromise politics has been the norm for decades, there has been no negative result as far as the economic performance of the country is concerned: Italy remains a G20 player despite the fact that since World War Two there has hardly been any instances when one party came into power with total control over the Parliament. So why worry?

Obama's Rosh Hashanah message omits Palestine mention

President Barack Obama's videotaped message for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, includes plenty of tough pro-Israel talk, but drops references he's made in prior years to settling Israel's differences with its Palestinian and Arab neighbors.

In his new message, Obama speaks in vague terms about advancing the goal of peace, but suggests this can be done chiefly by steadfast U.S. support for Israel. He makes no mention at all of the Palestinian statehood bid causing a stir at the United Nations or of the push the U.S. and others are making to get the Israelis and Palestinians to re-open peace negotiations and ink a deal by the end of 2012.

Eac: Penampang Leads In Civil And Environmental Activism

The MACC said today that the three officers would face disciplinary action as an internal inquiry on them has been completed.

‘Cheated’ natives baying for blood

By Luke Rintod of FMT

Barisan Nasional partner in Sabah, Upko,
is in a spot over a land deal involving
one of their MPs.

KOTA KINABALU: Something is going on in the centre of Sabah that has got the communities residing there hot under the collar.

As is usually the case in this vast state, the matter comes down to land and who has the right to it.

The issue is threatening to deliver a black eye to a local Sabah Barisan Nasional party that has been trumpeting its determination to fight for the well-being of the native people and to champion their rights.

PRESIDEN Pertubuhan Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Murut Bersatu (UPKO), Tan Sri Bernard Dompok mendakwa bahawa Sabah mencatatkan peningkatan jumlah penduduk yang mendadak, khususnya antara tahun 1990 dan 2000.

Katanya, ini mewajarkan penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) mengenai kehadiran pendatang tanpa izin (PATI) yang dikatakan menyumbang kepada peningkatan yang mendadak itu.

The Exclusive Isa Story Of A Fearless Warrior

Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan is an enigma, not least because he is partly elusive, partly unpredictable and partly Houdini. You can never really find him and when you do, he very quickly disappears. As his friend and compatriot in a civil rights mission, I know him and yet I don’t and, as a friend, you tend to wonder if he would ever fully trust you. After the Internal Security Act (ISA) experience, his character became part of his natural defence mechanism. Those were ‘The Cruel Years’, not ‘The Wonder Years’. The ISA had moulded him into the person that he is today and he remains fascinating.

Bad Telecomunication Service In Kota Belud

By : DAP MEDIA

THE HAND PHONE, broadband and Internet service in the Kota Belud district is very poor and frequently there is no service in many areas especially towards hilly region.

Disclosing this was the Sabah DAP Kota Belud Chief Wellon Moyou, he said it is very common that the hand phone user cannot get the phone line going due to the poor and low service receivable in KB area. The broadband and internet service have the same problem too. It is very difficult to get on line and get connected.

Gaddafi's men: why do they keep fighting?

 It is now a month since Tripoli fell and the "Great Guide" was unceremoniously guided from power. But his forces refuse to give in and they are fighting back with much more determination and with much more popular support than witnessed before.

With their leader dethroned and their capital captured, everyone expected that pro-Gaddafi resistance would quickly collapse. But unlike most other places, Gaddafi's forces have not melted away and this time there have been no internal uprisings to greet the advancing rebels.

Invitation to the MCLM forums on Rakyat Reform Agenda (RARA)

The Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) have successfully launched its series of forums to be held nationwide on the ‘Rakyat Reform Agenda’ on 19^th September 2011 in Kuala Lumpur at the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH).

It is MCLM’s fervent hope that in order for Malaysia to be the great inclusive nation envisioned by our founding fathers, we must return to basic principles.

Ÿ  Honour the agreements made in 1963 between the Federation of Malaya and Sabah and Sarawak prior to the formation of the Federation of Malaysia

Ÿ  Restore the national institutions to the Rakyat – the judiciary, Election Commission, police force, Attorney-General, etc.

Ÿ  Restore the liberties guaranteed to the Rakyat under the Federal Constitution by repealing the ISA, OSA, PPPA, UUCA and Sedition Act

Ÿ  Adopt the Social Inclusion Agenda, designed to raise the living standards of all marginalised persons in Malaysia.

We are now proceeding to the next stage for venues in East Malaysia:

a) 27^th September - Kota Kinabalu - Courtyard Hotel

b) 28^th September - Tawau - Belmont Marco Polo, and

c) 29^th September - Kuching - Hotel Grand Continental

(Note: All the MCLM RARA forums are scheduled for 7pm to 11pm)

Mositun Spoke Too Soon About Pbs Being Vindicated

By Daniel John Jambun

When the Prime Minister announced the government will repeal the Internal Security Act and other important reforms Datuk Johnny  Information Chief, PBS celebrated, saying it was a clear proof that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government is responsive to the people's feelings. He claimed that "These important reforms vindicate the decision by our President, Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, to rejoin the BN 10 years ago. Today Pairin's faith in the BN to do the right things for the people and nation has been proven correct."

 

Make millions of people very happy!

Najib, Rosmah and Hishamuddin were flying on Air Plane. Najib looked at Rosmah, chuckled and said, "You know, I could throw a $1,000.00 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy."

Revolts looming in Sabah BN

By Luke Rintod of FMT

Umno-led Sabah Barisan Nasional has taken things too
much for granted in Sabah and this time, with the
impending general election, the state may be
fertile ground for revolts and back-stabbings

KOTA KINABALU: If the virulent exchanges among Sabah Barisan Nasional component parties are to be taken seriously, then back-stabbing, revolts and open challenges will be a common scene in the coming general election in Sabah.

Already at each other’s throat is the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Umno leaders close to Chief Minister Musa Aman.

Political Interference: Ban on episode on Sabah's plights

Mystery ban on Siasat's Chinese edition episode

An episode of Media Prima-owned television station ntv7's Chinese edition of the current affairs programme, Siasat, which is aired every Thursday, was barred from being aired last night.

No explanation was given for the sudden decision to take this particular episode, titled "I want to go to school", off the air.

An old episode of the 30-minute Siasat series was aired during the time slot for the award-winning programme, which is 11.30 every Thursday night.

UBF can use SAPP as vehicle to contest

TAWAU: The United Borneo Front (UBF) is welcome to use Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) as a vehicle to contest in the 13th general election as both parties share the same struggle.

SAPP vice president Datuk Chua Soon Bui said UBF is a non-governmental organisation and both parties already had a lot of dialogues and organised seminars on whether they are sharing the same mission and vision for the whole of Sabah, including the autonomy of Sabah.

Whose side is DAP on?

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has questioned whose side is Sabah DAP on following its latest attack over SAPP's flags put up all over Sabah in conjunction with the party's third anniversary pull-out from the Barisan Nasional (BN) on Sept 17, 2008.

"Why must DAP keep on attacking SAPP instead of BN-Umno?" asked SAPP Vice President cum Head of Negotiating Committee with DAP on seats and policies, Dullie Hj. Marie.

He said the action by Sabah DAP reinforced the notion that it was colluding with Umno as happened during the Batu Sapi Parliamentary by-election last year.

Malaya bleeding us dry

By Zainal Ajamain

Putrajaya's version of history has contaminated the minds
of children and stripped Sabahans of their dignity,
says economist and author Zainal Ajamain.

These words “we demand autonomy or Sabah Negeri, Merdeka” must be on the lips and hearts of all true leaders in Sabah.

On both sides of Sabah’s political divide, our leaders have long been incapacitated by their fear of their perceived Malaya masters.

They will not speak out against the daily injustices towards fellow Sabahans. And even when they do speak up it is just passive shouting – a token resistance, just to show they are saying something.

60,000 fake ICs: Where’s ISA when we need it?

Citizenship applicants told to ‘vote for ruling party’

Pemerhati: Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad and children – Mukhriz, Marina, etc – according to tradition, where the children take on the ethnicity of their father, are also Indians because his father was the son of an Indian from Kerala.

The Malaysian constitution also allows people like Mahathir, who are Muslims, who speak Malay and follow Malay customs, to call themselves Malays.

Wikileaks: SPR pernah keluarkan 60,000 IC palsu

Kabel diplomatik Amerika Syarikat yang bocor mendedahkan bahawa bekas pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman mengakui beliau pernah mengeluarkan lebih daripada 60,000 kad pengenalan palsu kepada pekerja-pekerja asing di Sabah pada sekitar tahun 1990-an – atas arahan Umno.

Kabel yang dimuat-naikkan di portal pembocor maklumat Wikileaks memetik bekas ketua Rakyat Malaysia untuk Pilihan Raya Bebas dan Adil (Mafrel) Malek Husin sebagai mendakwa bahawa Rashid (kiri) mengakui perkara ini dalam pertemuan peribadi di rumah Rashid pada 25 Oktober, 2006.

Dalam kabel yang ditandakan sulit itu, Malek dilaporkan memberitahu pegawai Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat di Kuala Lumpur bahawa Rashid juga mengesahkan Umno telah melancarkan kempen ‘kotor’ pada tahun 1990-an untuk merampas Sabah – yang dikuasai sehingga 1994 oleh PBS yang berada di barisan pembangkang ketika itu.

Nazri: Tahanan tanpa bicara akan diteruskan

Amalan penahanan tanpa perbicaraan akan diteruskan walaupun dengan pemansuhan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) 1960 dan undang-undang pencegahan yang lain, kata Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.

Menurut beliau dua undang-undang baru yang bakal diperkenalkan bagi menggantikan ISA akan juga membenarkan penahanan tanpa bicara kerana ia adalah elemen penting dalam usaha memerangi keganasan.

Katanya, Peguam Negara akan berunding dengan ahli parlimen, hakim dan pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan lain di dalam dan juga luar negara kerana menangani keganasan adalah usaha antarabangsa.

Expect ISA repackaged, not abolished

‘I believe it is going to be a case of ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’. At best, the replacement laws will be ‘from the fire, back into the frying pan’.

‘Anwar fears more repressive laws to replace ISA’

Tkc: I’ve got a bad feeling. If BN were to regain its two-thirds majority due to the fence-sitters gullible enough to think that things will be hunky dory after the repeal of Internal Security Act (ISA), the replacement laws would be so repressive that BN will rule for the next 50 years.

‘New laws could be worse than ISA’

Is the repeal of the ISA 'window-dressing' for an
embattled BN ahead of the general election?

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Scepticisms abound in Sabah over the repeal of the much-condemned Internal Security Act (ISA).

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had announced on Sept 16 that the government would abolish the draconian law.

While the announcement came as a shock, as many had expected some good news related to consumer goodies in view of the general election, it was nevertheless much welcomed.

WIKILEAKS: 2006 UMNO GENERAL ASSEMBLY: ABDULLAH OVER MAHATHIR

In what one prominent newspaper editor privately called "the beginning of his own cult of personality," Abdullah orchestrated his entrance into the grand assembly hall as a prophet coming to address his people. As Abdullah entered the hall, the audience began singing a well-known Muslim hymn commemorating the Prophet Mohammed's entrance into Medina. Privately, local journalists and some Middle-eastern diplomats were astonished and somewhat offended that Abdullah would equate himself with the Prophet, though newspapers failed to report his entrance procession. 

1.  (C) Summary:  The United Malays National Organization's (UMNO) General Assembly marked Prime Minister's Abdullah consolidation of power within UMNO and the clear political defeat of his predecessor Mahathir Mohamad after months of public attacks by Mahathir.  Mahathir did not attend the assembly due to timely health reasons, but he remained the elephant in the room that everyone knew was there but no one wanted to mention.
