Demografi Sabah Perlukan Rci

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.

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.

How will we achieve this? The answer - Through the Rakyat Reform Agenda (RARA), which is a four-point plan to:

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)

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

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