Ustaz's 1Malaysia Plan for East Malaysia...proselytisation

An alleged move to second 80,000 teachers to Sarawak could trigger social
implications, says Parti Rakyat Sarawak president James Masing.

SIBU: Is an alleged move by the Education Ministry to transfer 80,000 teachers from Peninsular Malaysia to Sarawak an insidious plan to “convert” locals?

If it is, then Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) government is digging itself into an even deeper hole here.

Already, the majority Christian Sarawakians are seething at the Umno-led government’s high-handedness and arrogant dismissal of the Federal Constitution in relation to freedom to practise one’s own religion.

Land grabs: ‘Police colluding with company’

By Luke Rintod of FMT

Villagers in remote Sabah have accused police
of helping a company occupy their land.

KOTA KINABALU: The displacement of villagers is continuing unabated in remote corners of Sabah – out of the public eye despite claims to the contrary by the Barisan Nasional (BN) state government.

Yet another land-grab case has surfaced. This time, it is in Kampung Mapat and Kampung Mapad in Pitas.

The victims lodged a police report here yesterday claiming that police had assisted a private company, Syarikat Jayasama Sdn Bhd, alienate their NCR (native customary rights) land.

Billions spent on Sabah infrastructures, but how come not much improvements?

By Fredoline Edwin Lojingki
EACH year both the Federal Government and State Government announced hundreds of millions of ringgits for Sabah and in fact thousands of millions ringgits for the whole country for so-called rural development which focussed on basic infrastructures. What astonish me is little is felt here in many rural areas in Sabah. I have travelled to many parts of Sabah in recent times and i found it scaring to claim that those billions were ever spent for the Sabahan people.
