Hak Tanah Adat Adalah Dijamin Di Bawah Perlembagaan

Oleh Tan Sri Hasmy Agam

Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia Malaysia (Suruhanjaya) memandang berat dan bimbang dengan kenyataan terkini yang dilaporkan dibuat oleh Peguam Negeri Sabah bahawa Ordinan Tanah Sabah (OTS) yang berkuatkuasa pada tahun 1930 tidak membenarkan wujudnya Hak Tanah Adat yang baru di Sabah. Menurut Peguam Negeri Sabah tidak ada peruntukan dalam OTS bagi anak negeri untuk membuat penempatan selepas 1930 dan menuntut Hak Tanah Adat, yang mana ianya jelas bercanggah dengan kedudukan Hak Tanah Adat yang merupakan hak asas masyarakat Orang Asal/Asli sepertimana dijamin dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Native Customary Rights To Land Are Guaranteed Under The Constitution

By Tan Sri Hasmy Agam

The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (the Commission) views with great concern and disquiet over the recent statements reportedly made by the Sabah Attorney-General that the Sabah Land Ordinance (SLO) that came into force in 1930 does not allow for the creation of fresh Native Customary Rights (NCR) to land in Sabah. According to the Sabah Attorney-General, there is no provision in the SLO for natives to go into occupation of land after 1930 and claiming NCR on it, which clearly contradicts the position that NCR to land is a fundamental right of indigenous communities guaranteed under our Federal Constitution.

Orang Asal Tambanuo jawab Peguam Besar Negeri Sabah fasal NCR

Oleh James Ait (pemimpin Tambanuo dalam STAR)

Seribu enam ratus lima puluh tahun setelah Allah selesai menciptakan dunia ini, Allah telah mendapati bahawa kehidupan manusia pada waktu itu penuh dengan kejahatan. Allah mengambil keputusan untuk menenggalamkan dunia ini dengan banjir besar. Catatan daripapda masyarakat di Timur Tengah, yang tinggal hanyalah keluarga nabi Noh. Cerita yang diwariskan secara turun temurun oleh masyarakat Orang Asal (Tambanuo) di Sabah, yang tinggal hanyalah sepasang suami isteri yang baru kahwin yang hanya dikenali sebagai Laduon (nenek) dan Lakion (datuk). Sepasang suami isteri itulah yang memulakan suatu masyarakat baru Tambanuo selepas banjir besar yang lebih dikenali oleh masyarakat Tambanuo sebagai “losob”.

FELDA to return 306,000 acres of land to the State

By Kong Hong Ming, (PKR leader)

Kong – FELDA, another bad deal for Sabah

Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) should return 306,000 acres of land to the State of Sabah because FELDA had breach its promise and reneged from its obligations to develop the land given to FELDA intended to serve the interest of the people of Sabah.

At the same time, Sabah BN State Government should be held responsible for its failure to protect the interest of the State and its people in the land settlement schemes undertaken by FELDA.

An RCI for Sabah should be done and completed
before the coming general election as many
'foreign' voters in Sabah are already on
the electoral roll.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: The much anticipated federal government’s green light for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on how Filipino and Indonesian illegal immigrants gained Malaysian documents in Sabah has been met with suspicion by the State Reform Party (Star).

Star state chapter chairman Jeffrey Kitingan, who has been demanding an investigation for years, said though Sabahans welcomed the setting up of the RCI, the government must ensure its sincerity and integrity are reflected in the RCI.

He said he would like the federal leaders to consider a few points that are vital to safeguarding the country’s and the RCI’s own integrity.

KUALA LUMPUR – Isu gaji minimum untuk lima juta pekerja swasta tempatan dan pekerja asing akan ke Kabinet pada Mac nanti.

Menteri Sumber Manusia, Datuk Seri Dr S Subramaniam berkata, perkara ini akan dibawa ke Kabinet dalam beberapa minggu dan keputusannya akan dimaklumkan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Oleh Raymond Tombung

KENINGAU: Pelancaran Parti Reformasi Negeri (STAR) untuk kawasan parlimen Keningau akan di adakan esok (11 Februari) di sini.

Pengerusi Penganjur pelancaran itu, Dr. Nicholas Guntobon, memaklumkan bahawa tempat pelancaran itu adalah di Restoran Pelancongan, di Jalan Keningau-Tenom, lebih kurang dua kilometer dari pekan Keningau. “Kita akan mulakan pada jam 1.30 petang,” katanya. “Dan kami menjemput semua penyokong dan sesiapa juga yang berminat mendengar rasional kenapa kita harus berada dalam STAR seperti yang akan dihuraikan oleh Pengerusi STAR, Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, dalam ucapan beliau.”

Pelancaran di Keningau tersebut adalah yang keempat bagi kawasan-kawasan parliament selepas Kota Marudu, Pitas, dan Kota Belud. Guntobon menjangka satu kehadiran yang lebih ramai dari biasa memandangkan Keningau adalah tempat asal Dr. Jeffrey. “Saya tidak hairan jika jumlah yang hadir akan lebih dari 4,000 orang yang telah membanjiri bangunan Hongkod bagi pelancaran parti peringkat negeri bulan lalu,” katanya.

Launching of STAR Keningau tomorrow (Saturday Feb 11, 2012)

By Raymond Tombung

KENINGAU: The launching of the State Reform Party (STAR) for the Keningau parliamentary constituency is to be held here, tomorrow.

Organising Chairman for the event, Dr. Nicholas Guntobon, announced that the venue for the event will be at the Restoran Pelancongan, located by the Keningau-Tenom road about two kilometres from Keningau town. “We will kick off at about 1.30 p.m.,” he said. “And we invite all supporters and those wishing to hear the rationales for choosing STAR which will be elaborated by our Chairman, Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan in his speech.”

The Keningau launch is the fourth in the series for district launches, after the Kota Marudu, Pitas, and Kota Belud. Guntobon expects an especially large crowd considering the constituency is the home ground of Jeffrey. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the attendance will be higher than the 4,000 crowd at the party’s launch at Hongkod lKoisaan last month,” he said.

NFCorp Says Right To Use Rm250m Loan

By : DEBRA CHONG (TMI)

VISIT....Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officers make a visit to the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) headquarters in Kuala Lumpur December 23 2011.

THE NATIONAL Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) said today it has the right to use the government’s RM250 million soft loan as it sees fit, based on its 2007 agreement with Putrajaya to turn Gemas into Malaysia’s Beef Valley.

Pakatan's march to Putrajaya paved with obstacles

By M Krishnamoorthy

The road to Putrajaya for Pakatan Rakyat, if it wins the general election, is paved with obstacles - rough and rugged terrain - as Malaysia’s prime minister ponders deeply over some strategies to “defend” Putrajaya.

This was clear after a crucial question went unanswered last week, when Prime Minister Najib Razak officially visited the Royal Selangor Club.

In a speech to the club’s members and others, Najib (left) touched their hearts on some nostalgic and historical anecdotes about his association with the club as a youth when he followed his father, Tun Abdul Razak, on a visit to the club.

After a six-month hiatus, the Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS) will resume its work in Sarawak come Feb 13.

“We will continue where we left off. The Red Rally last August 13 was the final event of our one-year campaign to oust Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud. While MoCS conceded defeat to Taib, we never lose sight of ‘Ops Taibetes’. We merely took a break,” the movement’s leader, Francis Paul Siah, said in a statement today.

PETALING JAYA: Following allegations that the family of Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil owns condominium units in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the PKR has further claimed the family has two more luxury suites in the republic.

PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli said the two other units in Singapore's Marina Bay, with a price tag of $S14.29mil (or RM34.6mil), were bought on May 27, 2010.

He alleged the Marina Bay suites were bought under the names of National Feedlot Corporation chairman Datuk Dr Mohamed Salleh Ismail and NFC chief executive officer Wan Shahinur Izran Salleh.

EPISODE 1: How East Malaysia and Terengganu were robbed of their wealth

In 1973, Barisan Nasional was launched and PAS became part of the federal government. In 1974, the new ruling coalition in Parliament (where all the opposition parties except DAP were now members of) passed the Petroleum Development Act and the oil and gas were transferred from the states to the federal government, meaning Petronas.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Give or take, give and take, they are both four letter words, just as Umno is (pun intended). Nevertheless, we can expect Umno to be confused about when to use the word ‘give’ and when to use ‘take’. However, Pakatan Rakyat too?

As Julius Caesar said, “Et tu Brute?”

The last photograph of Dato' Patrick Wong
just months before he was murdered.

The doctor’s report says that the cause of Dato’ Patrick’s death was a ‘blunt force trauma to the head with compression of the neck’. That was what the medical report says. My Deep Throats told me that Dato’ Patrick was strangled and then THROWN off the balcony. The police say he accidentally fell while trying to escape. How do they then account for the ‘compression of the neck’ (meaning strangled) if he accidentally fell from the balcony and was not murdered?

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

This whole episode started in October 2009. Dato’ Patrick Wong and his wife were on a short visit to the UK to do a tour of England and Scotland. They spent some time with my wife and me where we managed to talk quite a bit about the state of affairs in Malaysia and how matters in Selangor are certainly a cause for concern.

Najib running out of money? RM1.5bil taken from EPF to fund Nong Chik's housing scheme

By Maclean Patrick, Malaysia Chronicle

At a time when other governments are looking into austerity programs to cushion themselves from a global recession, Malaysia is spending its retirement fund on ill-guided projects. And when a government of the day - the UMNO-BN - unceremoniously plays around with money its citizens have toiled hard for and set apart for their retirement needs, one thing is clear - nothing is safe anymore.

The nonsense about "winnable candidate"

By Raymond Tombung

Tun Musa Hitam had just shown his amusement and low opinion about this new popular terminology called “winnable candidates.” He said that it is not up to the leaders to decide but up to the people! And how true!

Personally, I have wondered how to determine if a candidate is “winnable” or not. Anyway, I am also not comfortable with the word “winnable” in this context because “winnable” actually means “can be won”. But what they mean is “able to win” (boleh menang) a phrase which has no single word to express in the English language. So we are stuck with the awkward “winnable”.

Kuamut surrendered bundles of NCR evidences to STAR

By Ezra Haganez

LUYANG: The Kuamut State Reform Party (STAR) committee recently handed over to state STAR bundles of evidences of Native Customary Rights (NCR) lands of the Tambanuo community within Kuamut and Sukau constituencies in Kinabatangan area.

A local Tambanuo leader, James Ait, who is also STAR Sabah chapter state committee member presented the documents to STAR Sabah chapter chairman, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan at his office in Damai, Luyang.

Islam, the Quran and Mohamad

By Joe Darlington

The singular contribution of Islam to the concept of religion or theology is that it killed the idea of God, if he did exist, continuing to send down prophets to Earth to guide mankind.

Islam, in its first recitation in the Quran, clearly states (like Buddhism) that there is no God but the religion holds that if a God did exist, then he would have certain attributes. The religion refers to the 1001 known attributes of God and this figure is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the various names by which God is called.

Of Sulu, Muslim sultanates, and Sabah and Sarawak leases

Sunday, 05 February 2012 10:33 posted by sulu in here

The Sultan of Brunei who originally ruled Sabah ceded it to the Sultan of Sulu in 1704 as a reward for helping suppress an uprising in his domain. In 1878, the Sultan's successor, Jamalul Azam, leased the territory to William Cowie and Baron von Overbeck for 5,000 Malaysian Dollars.

Overbeck was then the Austrian consul at Hong Kong and former local manager of the British opium firm of Dent and Company.

This territory rightfully belongs to the Sulu Sultan

Kejayaan Malaya Di Sabah Setelah Pembentukan Malaysia

Oleh James Ait

Setelah Perjanjian Malaysia ditandatangani oleh wilayah Singapura, Malaya, Sabah dan Sarawak, maka dunia mencipta satu lagi sejarah selepas perang dunia di asia, ia itu penyatuan wilayah menjadi sebuah negara bernama Malaysia.

Agak sedih kerana tanpa pengetahuan Sabah dan Sarawak, Singapura samada dikeluarkan atau menarik balik atau sememangnya telah bermain wayang untuk memikat Sabah dan Sarawak supaya bersetuju membentuk Malaysia. Suatu tanda tanya yang tidak pernah terjawab samada oleh Singapura atau Malaya, ialah kenapa wilayah rakan kongsi Sabah dan Sarawak tidak dijemput berbincang mengenai Singapura tidak bersama-sama Malaysia.

Some lies for BN to answer

By Daniel John Jambun

The Barisan Nasional had said it many times that they will “answer the opposition’s lies” (menjawab tohmahan-tohmahan pembangkang) and recently we are told that Sabah BN will have its own body to work on these answers. As a member of the opposition I am naturally challenged about such so-called lies and I am very interested to hear what BN has to say about a few ‘lies’ that we have been repeating over the years. I would therefore like to volunteer my services to this body (to answer our lies) by providing a list of such lies. I of course expect this body to answer all these lies as clearly and as convincingly as they can as soon as possible:

S'pore won't return, but if Umno keeps on bullying, Sabah and Sarawak may leave

Expelled Pas legislator Hassan Ali’s theory that Dap will eventually push for Singapore’s return to Malaysia, a scare-mongering tactic in reverse, does not hold water.

This reminds us of Singapore veteran Lee Kuan Yew warning his people not so long ago that the island may have to return to Malaysia, literally on bended knees, if it fails to make its way in the world.

There are many reasons why Singapore will not or cannot return to Malaysia but a few salient points will suffice for the moment to put the point across.

Sabah duo on the run

Source

KUALA LUMPUR: A 41-year-old Sabah politician, who is a Datuk and an Umno division assistant chief, has fled the state after learning that his office was raided over false claims involving a RM43mil contract for mechanical and electrical maintenance work with Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).

A department director at the university is also being investigated and his office was raided as well by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers.

He is also said to have fled the state.

Sources said the two men had allegedly made false claims amounting to millions of ringgit although no work was done since the contract was awarded 36 months ago.

“Khairy was good, but Rafizi was better” was the considered opinion of various members of the audience when asked to comment on the dynamic battle of wits between Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and PKR’s strategic director Rafizi Ramli.

What a shame that Malaysians at home missed a lively, stimulating and exciting debate because this is what intellectual discourse is all about. No slanging matches. No name-calling atypical of the usual parliamentary exchanges across the floor of the Dewan Rakyat.

‘Borneo alliance’ agreed in principle

By Luke Rintod of FMT

SAPP asks for more time to weigh its
participation in the Borneo alliance.

KOTA KINABALU: An inaugural meeting to form a United Borneo Alliance (UBA) succeeded only to have an “agreement in principle” as one of the participants, the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), wanted time to deliberate on it before formalising their participation.

The meeting yesterday saw the participation of representatives from three local groupings – State Reform Party (STAR), SAPP and the yet-to-be-registered Usno Baru.

It was chaired by Ismail Gimbad, 71, a former Sorob (now Kadamaian) assemblyman who is not a member of any of the parties.

Chief Judge of the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak Richard
Malanjum says that under the common law, Native Customary
Rights (NCR) pre-existed any statutes and land laws.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Corruption and abuse of power in the Sabah Native Courts is so bad that even Chinese nationals from Hong Kong and Taiwan have managed to become “natives” in the state, according to Chief Judge of the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak Richard Malanjum.

“There are citizens from Hong Kong and Taiwan who have been given the status of native (anak negeri). Judges of the Native Courts gave them the ‘Sijil Anak Negeri’. There are cases, it is a fact.

Now rakyat wants Anifah to be replaced in Kimanis !

By Raymond Tombung

KOTA KINABALU: In what appears to be an open confrontation for change, ‘hundreds of Umno members’ in P. 176 Kimanis are demanding that a new candidate be allowed to contest in place of Datuk Anifah Aman to represent the P. 176 Kimanis constitutency in the next general election.

In an interview here yesterday, leaders of the group which are mobilising what they call a Leadership Transformation Movement, said they are demanding for this change because Anifah, who is Malaysia’s current Foreign Minister has been in the Member of Parliament for the area too long and it is time to replace him. So far three demonstrations to voice out this demand had been held, the first in Dewan Kg. Pimping on January 21, 2012, the second in Dewan Lama Pekan Bongawan on the following day, and the third for two days on January 23 to 24 in Dindong, Kg. Bambangan, Membakut.

Pope Benedict XVI and Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti have called on their followers to “exercise proper discernment in the face of the surcharge of stimuli and data” on the Internet.

Saudi Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said that followers must be wary of social media, including Facebook and Twitter, as “they do not know the source of those comments.”

Malaysian Bar deplores arrest of Orang Asli and lawyer, abuse of police powers, in Gua Musang

By Christopher Leong

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Bar condemns the arbitrary arrest, in Gua Musang on 28 January 2012, of 13 Orang Asli of the Temiar tribe who had gathered peacefully to protest and blockade the alleged incessant illegal encroachment onto, and logging of, their ancestral lands. Although the Temiar had been assured that the state authorities would resolve their grievances by mid-January, the alleged intrusion and logging activities had continued unabated. The police reportedly burned down the blockade, detained/arrested the Temiar, and prevented family members of those arrested from accompanying them to the detention centre. The detained Temiar were said to have been denied food and legal representation, and questioned for several hours before being released.

If a gov't won't change, it must be changed

Anwar Ibrahim’s Sodomy II political drama seems scripted to end with his being behind prison bars. It doesn't look good for the government and its boast of judicial and other reforms that now look incredibly superficial and hollow. Anwar won however you look at it though justice delayed is justice denied. Malaysians must be sick of the sodomy side-show and those behind the unsavory plot. Yet again UMNO’s infamous Datuk 3T want to destroy him with yet another Sodomy III.

Easy to cancel Tambatuon Dam, just cancel BN, says lawyer

Opposition Promises Worrying Bn

By Daniel John Jambun

Do I look worried?

THE PROMISES being made by the opposition leaders are so attractive and reasonable, and the support the opposition is getting from the people is now so strong, that the BN leaders are genuinely worried.

The recent visit by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim this week was even more troublesome for them because Anwar made new additional promises that are causing the people to think again more positively about their future.

Sabah’s Opposition Divided Over Oil

By : JOE FERNANDEZ

THE OIL royalty issue took centre stage during Chinese New Year, with Anwar pledging 20 percent if Pakatan comes to power, Jeffrey demanding 50 percent while there also those pushing for 70 percent.

Mere hours before Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim flew into Kota Kinabalu for a PKR Chinese New Year gathering, Jeffrey Kitingan issued a policy statement on the federal government’s payment of oil royalty to the oil states.

“Dia itu bukan sesiapa pun. Tidak ada ‘locus standi’...",
ujar Nazri Aziz.

BARU sahaja selepas menegaskan bahawa MENTERI KABINET dan keluarga mereka mengisytiharkan harta seperti yang dicadangkan oleh SPRM, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Nazri Aziz telah melakukan tindakan bodoh dengan memberi amaran kepada Bersih supaya tidak mengulangi demonstrasi jalanan.

Perlakuan kurang ajar beliau yang menyerang Pengerusi Bersih, Ambiga Sreenevasan, sehari selepas Najib menegaskan ancaman terhadap keselamatan beliau juga menunjukkan bahawa Nazri sedang merencanakan balas dendam untuk bossnya.

Bets are on in Sabah as to how many of Umno's
current and former representatives will be
quitting the party to join the opposition.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Rumours of Umno strongman Lajim Ukin quitting Umno has gained momentum with more politicians touted to leave with him.

Speculations are rife that aside from Umno’s Bongawan assemblyman, Karim Bujang and former chief minister Osu Sukam, others likely to follow Lajim are Pantai Manis representative Abdul Rahim Ismail, ex-Banggi rep Amir Kahar Mustapha, former Land and Co-operative Development Minister Kasitah Gadam and Upko’s deputy president Wilfred Bumburing

Sabah Sarawak Wajar Bebas Dari Malaysia

Saudara Pengarang,

SECARA sedar atau tidak, sekumpulan elit Generasi Sabah dan Sarawak sekarang sedang memimpin rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak untuk mendapatkan pengiktirafan daripada British dan juga Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (PBB) akan kedudukan Sabah dan Sarawak dalam Malaysia.

Sekumpulan golongan elit yang berpaksikan non-partisan kini sedang berkembang pesat pengaruhnya yang mana dalam perjuangan kumpulan ini, adalah untuk mendapatkan kembali hak 18/20 perkara (walaupun pada hakikatnya perkara ini sudah terbatal selepas wujudnya Perlembagaan Persekutuan).

ASSALAMUALAIKUM dan salam sejahtera. Dengan nama Allah yang maha pengasih lagi penyayang, maka terlaknatlah saya jika mengeluarkan penulisan fitnah atau hasutan.

Namun demi namaMu Ya Rabbi, atas nama negara yang tercinta dan rukun negara yang saya junjung, maka wajiblah saya menyebarkan apa yang perlu untuk ikhtibar kita semua. Seandainya penulisan ini penipuan semata-mata, maka terkutuklah saya dan seluruh keturunan saya.

Was Salleh voicing Musa’s concern?

By Luke Rintod of FMT

Umno Sabah chief Musa Aman is relying on his deputy
Salleh Keruak's strategy to contain rival Shafie Apdal.

Last weekend in Kota Belud, the so-called birth-place of Umno in Sabah, the party’s state deputy president Salleh Said Keruak gave a stinging reminder to possible party-detractors.

He said those who were contemplating ditching Umno if they are not re-nominated in the coming general election, would be ‘ignored’.

Salleh, who is a local boy, issued this warning during a special meeting with a group of Umno’s Kadazandusun leaders from Kadamaian.
