Umno needs Sabah, S’wak to hold premiership

PKR-led Pakatan Rakyat is greedier than Umno, claims a
Sabah opposition party leader frustrated with Umno
and Pakatan 'hegemony'

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: UK-based NGO, Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia (BoPiMaFo) believes the only reason Malaya based parties are desperate to retain Sabah and ‘invade’ Sarawak is so that they can continue to decide which Umno leader would become the Prime Minister.

Daniel Jambun, who leads BoPiMaFo, said: “Umno wanted to go to Sarawak but its dream was shattered not because of Sarawak BN parties’ refusal but because of the people.

“If Umno spreads its wings to Sarawak, it would empower Sabah and Sarawak to decide who would be Umno president and eventually Prime Minister as both combined number of delegates from East Malaysia would have been the biggest to Umno’s annual assembly.

The cause and effect principle in the 'Allah' debate

In the last few days or weeks, we have seen a torrential debate around the word ‘Allah’ in the public domain. It’s still going on.

The issue is not new for it has been debated for nearly a decade, though of late, it has gained fresh momentum and intensity. Briefly stated, the Malay-Muslim community leaders have somehow developed the perception that ‘Allah’ is a holy word in Islam and is thereby to be used exclusively only by Muslims.

Christians in Malaysia have rights too

By Queville To

There is an assumption among politicians at the national
level that no matter what they say about the Christians,
the latter wouldn’t dare respond to assert their rights,
says Daniel John Jambun.

KOTA KINBALU: Christians in the country should not be afraid to assert their rights as Malaysians in matters concerning their faith, said Sabah STAR.

In a statement issued here, party deputy chairman Daniel John Jambun said politicians who get involved in the debates on religion in Malaysia were behaving as if the Christians have no feelings and no rights as Malaysians.

“It is ridiculous that many non-Christian leaders are talking about various religious issues as if the Christians are emotionally dead about matters affecting their religious rights,” Jambun said.

UCAPAN DATUK DR JEFFREY KITINGAN SEMPENA SAMBUTAN ULANGTAHUN STAR DAN PELANCARAN KEMPEN “SELAMATKAN SABAH TANAH AIRKU”

TEMA UCAPAN:
“SELAMATKAN SABAH TANAHAIRKU”

Dewan Utama, SM Kian Kok Kota Kinabalu
6th January 2013

Salam hormat, salam Ini Kali Lah, Salam Borneo Bersatu dan Salam Reformasi.

Terima kasih kepada Pengerusi Penganjur,

Selamat datang kepada semua pemimpin STAR di pelbagai peringkat, para jemputan dan semua pejuang STAR, anak anak pribumi Sabah yang saya percaya sudah berjuang sepenuh jiwa raga untuk menyelamatkan Sabah.

“The Star Reform Party (STAR), Sabah will be hosting its Christmas and New Year Open House on 06 January 2013at SM Kian Kok Hall, JalanTuaran, Kota Kinabalu, starting at 12.00 noon to celebrate Christmas and to welcome the 2013 New Year” announced Guandee Kohoi, Deputy Secretary General, cum Organizing Chairman of the Open House celebrations in a press statement released today.

How can we be happy on the eve of UMNO agenda to disenfranchise all Sabahans?

The new year brings with it one clear and present danger to the peace loving people of Sabah. They are facing the likelihood of the electoral system being changed in such a way that the legitimate Sabah voter will be outnumbered by “illegals” instant voters created by UMNO rigging of the electoral system.

Last year (2012) PM Najib's many visits to Sabah were more than just to show his love and concern for the welfare of Sabahans.

In fact he was discussing with Sabah UMNO and organising the re-arranging of the voting pattern in Sabah.

Malaysia Federation has failed

By Dr Jeffrey G. Kitingan

2013 will most likely be the beginning year of Correction, Restoration and Renewal, while 2012 was the peak of Malaysia’s manipulative politics, said political activist and STAR Sabah Chairman, DatukDr. Jeffrey Kitingan.

The Fall of Malaysia as a Federation
Malaysia was envisioned to be a great new Federation when three infant nations (Singapore, North Borneo and Sarawak) were forced by circumstances (due to national security, post-World War II consideration and de-colonization) to be rushed into a merger with Malaya by a 1963 agreement (the Malaysia Agreement) with many pre-conditions. Under the circumstances, Malaysia was a confusing concept right from the start.

“The Star Reform Party (STAR), Sabah will be celebrating its 1st Anniversary on 06 January 2013 at SM Kian Kok Hall, JalanTuaran, Kota Kinabalu, starting at 10.00 am” announced Guandee Kohoi, Deputy Secretary General, cum Organizing Chairman of the Anniversary celebrations in a press statement released today.

STAR Sabah was officially launched on 06 January 2012 and since its launching it has worked tirelessly the past year throughout Sabah promoting the BORNEO AGENDA, which was first promoted by the United Borneo Front (UBF), and educating and raising the knowledge and awareness of Sabahans of the rights and special position of Sabah in Malaysia and the wayward treatment of Sabah and Sabahans by the powers that be, as well as advocating the restoration of Sabah’s rights and position as an equal partner.

Some intresting facts about Christian in India

Compiled by Joe Fernandez
There were over nine million Christians in Kerala in 2001. They consisted of Orthodox Syrian Christians 2,511, 833; Syrian Orthodox (Jacobite) 1,285,000; Syro-Malabar Catholics 3, 494, 223; Marthomite 700,000; Syro-Malankara Catholics 344, 342; Church of South India and others 1, 000, 000.

Christians mostly converted Jews and locals known together as Nazranis were the only religion in Kerala till the Buddhist, Nambudiris (Brahmins), and Arab Muslims landed much later. This is based on the historical evidences available in Kerala from Temples, Mosques, Buddhist caves, Copper plate Cheppeds, Crosses with Pahlavi writings available with the Christians etc. Their religious practices, names, customs and costumes are unique and are very much similar to that of the Jews and Nambudiris.

Family members of a man who was found dead after spending three nights in a police lock up said they do not believe the police's claim that he died from a fall.

death in custody nagarajan 301212

Odd job worker K Nagarajan, 32, was arrested on Dec 21 for alleged drug related offenses and was placed in the Dang Wangi district police headquarters lock-up.

He was found dead on Monday before his scheduled court appearance.

According to his uncle M Krishna Murthie, the family was unable to accept the police version of events.

"How could someone die by falling in the lock-up? How is that even possible?" he told a press conference, organised by Teratai state assemblyperson Jenice Lee today.

Jalibin Paidi, STAR Divisional Head for Ranau

RANAU : Consumers in Sabah should expect some unpleasant surprises as the new year sets in with the Government's plan to implement the minimum wage of RM800 per month across the board.

The direct immediate effect of this minimum wage policy, to be in force from January 2013, are an increase of production cost for all employers in the state, already burdened with the highest cost of living in Malaysia.

Please expect increases of prices of goods and services, anything from 20% to even 200% as the employers would definitely pass the cost to consumers at large.

Dissatisfied Umno members believe Najib Tun Razak and
Rosmah Mansor are the party's "main liabilities"
that threaten the future of Umno.

Source

The recent 66th Umno general assembly sent out clear signs of increasing dissatisfaction among delegates with Najib Tun Razak’s leadership and that a decision must be made before the 13th general election.

Since Najib took over from Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as PM in early 2009, the former’s leadership has been directionless. He has been inconsistent and indecisive with his policies.

Though Najib is not as weak as his predecessor, he has nothing better to offer – no good leadership traits and no political and economic models on nation-building.

Umno members, from top to bottom, are very concerned about the party’s future.

Leaders from Malaya should not teach Sabahans what is
the meaning of racial harmony as we in Sabah have had
the most harmonious relationship, says Yong Teck Lee.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA BELUD: Sabah Progressive Party president Yong Teck Lee has condemned political leaders from Peninsular Malaysia, including from the Pakatan Rakyat, who come to Sabah lecturing to the local people on how to unite and not be racial.

“Leaders from Malaya should not teach Sabahans what is the meaning of racial harmony as we in Sabah have had the most harmonious relationship,” he said.

“DAP leaders like Selangor Speaker Teng Cheng Kim who came to Sandakan recently should not tell us how to unite. It is in the peninsula that racial disharmony is prevalent,” Yong said in his speech at a family gathering of one of SAPP’s leaders in Kg Kebayau near here yesterday.

Jangan pandang rendah orang Sabah

Kami tukar Usno, kami tukar Berjaya, kami tukar PBS,
kata seorang pemandu teksi rakyat Sabah.

PETALING JAYA: Ristol Nebeng agak kecewa kerana masih ramai rakyat Malaysia yang menganggap rakyat Sabah masih tidak matang berpolitik serta muda dibeli dengan janji-janji manis dalam pilihanraya yang bakal menjelang tiba.

Pemandu teksi yang berasal dari Sandakan ini memberitahu bahawa anggapan sedemikian sudah lama dilemparkan oleh pendududk dari Semenanjung termasuk rakan-rakannya sendiri.

Ristol berusia dalam lingkungan 40 tahun bekerja sebagai pemandu teksi sejak 15 tahun dan sekarang tnggal di Cheras di Kuala Lumpur. Beliau sudah berkeluarga dan mempunyai lima anak antara 10 dan 20 tahun. Isterinya berasal dari Tawau, sabah.

Harry & Bess
(This seems unreal.)

Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.

Declassified documents pertinent to Borneo, found in

Former Sabah Chief Minister Mohd Harris Salleh has never failed to appear from time to time as a bundle of contradictions to the extent of even embarrassing his own party leaders.

Harris, in his defence, may be said to mean well and even acting in good faith but often this argument is nothing more than the proverbial fig-leaf.

The man simply can’t be allowed to get away with it too many times. It creates not just bad but dangerous precedents. Both Harris and former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad appear to be birds of a feather in more ways than one.

However Harris isn’t even facing the remotest danger of being hauled up by Umno — assuming he’s still a member of the party given his penchant for sponsoring mosquito parties including Usno 2006 which is awaiting “registration” — on disciplinary charges for bringing it into public disrepute. This Mother of All Charges, with apologies to Saddam Hussein, is sure to cook anyone’s goose for good.

Former Chief Minister Harris Salleh's latest comments
are indicative of how disengaged Sabah leaders, both
past and present, are from the man on the street.

KOTA KINABALU: Ask almost anyone in Sabah, especially those in the Chinese business community, and they’ll tell you the state’s economy is in a bad way and will be so for the foreseeable future.

Sabah’s prized assets are in greedy hands. Its golden crop – oil palm – is losing its lustre in the commodities market, its tourism lure is messy, the prices of goods and services have gone up, property prices have sky-rocketed and where jobs are available wages are low and the infrastructure remains creaky and basic.

With all this pointing to deepening economic woes, you’d think that the state’s politicians who have rarely been so unpopular would be cautious about throwing stones at glass houses that they are living in. But no, its still business as usual.

An NGO says this Christmas is the time for Najib
to ponder and really hear the Christians on the
issue of fairness and justice.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has been asked to stop his “public relations stunts” and instead deal with the biased treatment his federal administration has meted out to Christians in Sabah and Sarawak.

Demanding that Najib “walk his talk”, a local NGO, Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BoPiMaFo), said the PM’s “nice words” in his Christmas message yesterday, rang “hollow as far as sincerity and truth is concerned” when compared to the “real situation” in Malaysia affecting Christians.

The foundation’s president Daniel Jambun said that in Sabah especially, the “Christian community continued to be increasingly marginalised and victimised by loads of actions from Najib’s ruling party Umno.”

It apparently takes only two hours to process a
new Mykad at the Immigration Department in Sabah's
Federal Administrative Complex, claims DAP.

By Queville To

KOTA KINABALU: Why is the Immigration Department in Sabah processing new Mykads and change of addresses? And when did the National Registration Department (NRD) appoint the Immigration Department to handle Mykads in Sabah?

Posing these question, Sabah DAP said it was tipped off by the members of the public that the process of changing to the new MyKads and address could be done at the Immigration Department in the Federal Administrative Complex here and that the procedure took only two hours.

“It is being done at the Immigration Department, which is suppose to only handle passport and work pass. Since when is the Immigration Department also doing the job of the National Registration Department?” the party’s Tanjung Aru chief, David Chong Ket Sui asked.

Is it any wonder that poverty is still prevalent
in the resource rich states of Sabah and Sarawak
after 45 years in Malaysia?

History will tell us that alliances between states are entered into to serve strategic, economic and the national interest of their people.

More often than not these alliances are driven by political leaders who dream of greater glory and national advancement that the sum of such an alliance may bring.

History will also tell us that no nation can survive an alliance with another for too long when the interest of its people are exploited and taken advantage of by the another.

Such is the situation that the people of Sabah and Sarawak now feel they are in – the same Sabah and Sarawak that joined with Singapore and Malaya to form that new nation of Malaysia.

The only reason Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak is
desperately wooing Sabah is because Umno can no
longer rule Peninsular Malaysia without
Sabah and Sarawak.

PENAMPANG: A veteran political activist who was once with Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) said many among the Barisan Nasional leaders in Sabah had at many times told crowds that BN stands for “Barisan Nah Sial”.

Fredoline Edwin Lojingki, 71, who is now with opposition State Reform Party (STAR) said he could name these hypocrite leaders who are now heaping praises after praises on BN and its corrupt leaders.

“These leaders once referred to BN as Barisan Nah Sial but they are singing a different tune now because they are now ministers, they got projects and all the trappings of power,” he said in a statement here today in response to PBS Johnny Mositun’s statement yesterday.

KUALA LUMPUR: Christians celebrated Christmas in a moderate albeit merry atmosphere with some having to face the current floods in the East Coast.

As usual they attended church services in the morning before spending time with family and friends.

Traffic in the city was smooth as many people have returned to their hometowns for the festival or to finish off their annual leave.

Kuala Lumpur residents and foreign nationals took the opportunity to visit shopping malls such as Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

Sabah is slipping down on living standards as
families continue to feel the pinch of high
inflation and low economic revival.

By the time this article is published, the Mayan calendar phenomenon is probably way behind us and like any other hoaxes of the last century, there was no apocalypse or Armageddon.

Let us go for something more real and imminent:

Upon this coming Chinese Lunar New Year in 2013, the zodiac snake will once again dawn the world. With so many political and fiscal uncertainties staring Sabah in the face, will she ever survive the python squeeze or will asphyxia be her final fate?

Or will the worst be reserved instead for the ruling coalition which has hogged the nation’s seat of power for more than half a century of dividing the people and rule, when the celestial serpent finally devour the entire Barisan Nasional in an election tipped to be held in or around February?

It is learned that both have scheduled their final visits to
the politically volatile state on Dec 28 and 29 respectively.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Come year-end, the country’s top two “rivals” in Malaysian politics – Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and opposition supremo Anwar Ibrahim – will once again slog it out in Sabah.

It is reliably learned that both have scheduled their final visits to the politically volatile state on Dec 28 and 29 respectively.

Besides wooing potential voters here, the duo will be also be fighting for spaces in the local newspapers.

Media editors here have spoken of the “interesting” heat emanating from the political slugging and its reach to voters across the vast state of Sabah.

PBS has urged its members not to gamble away the
future of the KadazanDusun and Murut (KDM)
communities by voting for Pakatan Rakyat.

KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has reminded Sabahans that never before have they had such a “high representation” in the federal cabinet, including leaders from the KadazanDusun and Murut (KDM) communities.

PBS information chief Johnny Mositun pointed out that Barisan Nasional under Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had been inclusive and had given every community a hand in policy-making and governance of the country.

“Just look at the representations in the federal cabinet. Of the three Sabahan federal ministers, two are KDM (Dr Maximus Ongkili and Bernard Dompok).

Mahathir silent on Najib’s plan to have MACC vet all BN candidates

by Joe Fernandez

Umno President and Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Mahathir Mohamad plans to seek the help of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) to vet the ruling coalition’s candidates for the forthcoming 13^th General Election.

There has been nothing but an ominous silence from former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad to this reported Najib plan and with good reasons too.

Malaysian student jailed over anti-government protest

State news agency Bernama reported that a magistrate's court had found Umar Mohd Azmi guilty of obstructing a Kuala Lumpur City Hall officer during the protest against the government's university loan scheme in April.

The 23-year-old final year undergraduate had allegedly obstructed the officer from arresting a fellow activist on April 23, during a week-long occupation of a historic landmark in the Malaysian capital.

Several constituencies in the west coast of the state is
to be carved up due to rapid population growth.

PAPAR: Sabah is set to get several new electoral constituencies when the re-delineation exercise takes place next year.

Deputy State Speaker Johnny Mositun said he had met several high-ranking Election Commission officers here and in Kuala Lumpur and they had informed him that many constituencies on the west coast of the state would be carved up due to rapid population growth.

“I have been given to understand that Sabah will get some additional constituencies,” said Mositun who is also PBS information chief, while speaking at the PBS Bongawan Division annual general meeting here on Saturday.

Doomsday? Relax and think positive

I have been following “Countdown to Apocalypse” in the History Channel in Astro. It’s amazing the many theories and contingency preparations that people have taken as a survival plan for Doomsday.

Many religions, calendars and prophecies point to Dec 21, 2012 as the end of the world. Is this another “Theory of the Apocalypse” that will come and go like others we have seen, or is this one that we should be paying attention to?

This worldwide anxiety was also here in Malaysia. I have people talking about it every day in Facebook, and many of my friends had actually stocked up for the predicted emergencies.

STAR: This Time Let the People Win

With GE13 just around the corner, political scenario in Sabah becomes hot as usual with Veteran (old-political-minded) politicians ‘badmouthing’ each other all the way. That was what ex-UPKO turned APS chairman, Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Bumburng did via his info chief, youth chief and secretary general towards Datuk Dr Jeffrey G Kitingan over who has the better solution towards the greatest rip-off of Sabah and its people.

Alternative Media Chief for STAR Sabah admits that it’s very disappointing indeed. "Why is APS resorting to maliciously derogatory comments of STAR and its warriors? How can they claim to be a leader of the people if they can easily believe rumours picked up from the streets?"

SAPP man appointed lawyer for Norikoh's family

KOTA KINABALU : Popular local lawyer Peter Marajin has been appointed counsel for the family of the murdered Norikoh Saliwa from Kota Marudu.

Marajin who is also Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) supreme council member was appointed by the girl's father, Saliwa Madaya, as the counsel to act as "watching brief" for the family in any proceedings in court or for any matters relating to the case.

Disgruntled Sabah Upko members are fed up with Umno YBs
and want a special programme to re-educate them on
their responsibilities to the electorate.

LAHAD DATU: The strained relationship between two Barisan Nasional components here has emerged into the open over the preferential treatment given to Muslim Bumiputera at the expense of the non-Muslims.

The United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) which is embarrassed that it has not been able to provide the same level of social assistance that Umno provides its supporters, this week accused the dominant BN party of granting assistance based on religious beliefs rather than on needs and creating a split where none existed before.
