Trouble in Sabah: PKR’s ‘ori’ vs ‘photocopies’

Anwar Ibrahim must come up with a quick solution
to douse the growing resentment between
original members and newcomers

By Calvin Kabaron

KOTA KINABALU : There’s  a new catch-phrase greeting in Sabah PKR’s political circles and it is greatly divisive. The greeting is “PKR ori” or “PKR photocopy?”.

“PKR ori” refers to genuine members of the party while “photocopy” addresses those with Angkatan Perubahan Sabah (APS) and Pakatan Perubahan Sabah (PPS) who “refused” to be members of PKR.

APS is led by Tuaran MP who was once deputy president of Upko, Wilfred Bumburing, while PPS is by Lajim Ukin, a former federal deputy minister, who is also Beaufort MP.  Lajim was with Umno and is often referred to as Umno’s westcoast warlord. Their ‘defection’ was much heralded by opposition Pakatan Rakyat.

These parties are now “parked” under Pakatan and and have declared their support of Anwar Ibrahim, PKR’s de facto leader.

Outstanding article by a 22-year old !

It ignores a simple reality: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has already made history by being the first Malay politician to ever actually win more political support through an explicitly non-racial platform.

It is practically impossible to underestimate how Anwar bucked the trend; he has completely turned our understanding of politics in this country on its head.

History has already made it crystal-clear; Malay politicians who try to unite the country by appealing to a common sense of Malaysian-ness inevitably wind up heading into political oblivion.

Dato Onn Ja'afar's political career went up in flames the moment he founded the first multiracial political party in the country, in spite of it having every conceivable advantage - it was literally the incumbent party of the time because of Onn's towering status in Malayan politics.
 

Compulsory mosques in new housing will polarise society

KOTA KINABALU –  The National Evangelical Christian  Fellowship (NECF) Commission on Sabah Affairs (COSA) is against the compulsory building of mosques in new housing projects in Sabah as a blanket policy.

This is our stand in response to recent suggestions that the state government exempt premium on land given up by developers for the construction of mosques, and that a site for a surau or mosque be compulsorily allocated in every low and medium cost housing project, before approval for the housing project is given to developers.

Discrimination against Sabah by the federal government
in order to develop Malaya is a tragedy and worthy of
national attention, says a lawyer.

KOTA BELUD: Peter Marajin, the man under fire from irate Kota Belud MP Abdul Rahman Dahlan for criticising him, stands by his claim that the MP is all talk and no action.

Speaking a day after Rahman hit out at him for negatively assessing his performance, Marajin reiterated that the MP had not done much in his constituency.

“He does not care about the padi fields in Mukim Kelawat but he keeps on telling people the district is Sabah’s “rice bowl” or “jelapang padi”.

“He didn’t even answer my contention that there are hundreds of acres of padi fields in Kelawat which are neglected as they are dependent on rain. His Umno-led Barisan Nasional has not provided proper irrigation for the area.

The politician, his son and the crony

“That is between my son and Michael Chia, its not
like he (Chia) is giving it to me… and I am the
minister, not my son.”

If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then the way to an Umno politician’s heart, is through his spouse or children. In Malaysia, cronies beat a path to the politician’s door, to provide material goods for his family members.

Only the naïve would think their acts charitable. Cronies do it for personal gain: tenders for contracts, to avoid the law, a means to fleece the public through subsidies or when government projects are ‘outsourced” like the AES (Automated Enforcement System) aka “speed traps”.

Plum jobs and multi-million dollar government contracts are reserved for the offspring of Umno politicians, their cronies and pro-Umno civil servants.

MP Kota Belud diminta lawat kawasan

By Calvin Kabaron

Sejak kebelakangan ini Rahman Dahlan
lebih gemar bercakap isu ekonomi
negara, pentadbiran persekutuan dan
kedaulatan bangsa lain sedangkan
kawasannya terbiar.

KOTA BELUD: Ahli Parlimen Kota Belud Dato’ Abdul Rahman Dahlan digesa membuat lawatan ke kawasan parlimennya daripada ‘berkokok’ dan ‘menyalak’ mempertahankan pelbagai isu yang menimpa partinya, Umno.

“Sejak kebelakangan ini Rahman lebih gemar bercakap isu ekonomi negara, pentadbiran persekutuan dan kedaulatan bangsa lain sedangkan kawasannya terbiar,” kata Anggota Majlis Tertinggi Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) yang juga pemimpin tempatan, Peter Marajin.

“Kerajaan sering mendabik dada kononnya Kota Belud adalah jelapang padi negeri Sabah tetapi ratusan ekar sawah padi di Mukim Kelawat tidak ditanami padi. Mana pergi Rahman?

“Pernahkah Rahman prihatin dan melawat para petani sawah di Kelawat?,” tanya Marajin ketika melawat kawasan itu hujung minggu lalu.

Rafizi dedah anak Nazri Aziz terima kenderaan mewah Michael Chia

KUALA LUMPUR, 1 Nov — Rafizi Ramli mendedahkan bahawa anak kepada Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz, iaitu Nedim Nazri Aziz mendapat manfaat daripada Michael Chia melalui sebuah kenderaan mewah jenis Hummer hitam dengan nombor pendaftaran WNX 9776.

“Kereta mewah Hummer WNX 9776 ini bernilai RM459,000 dimiliki oleh Michael Chia, dan ini boleh disahkan melalui carian saman di laman web MyEG,” kata Rafizi (gambar) dalam sidang medianya di Parlimen hari ini.

‘I did not get RM3m from Chia but the car…’

Nazri Abdul Aziz denies receiving RM3 million
from a timber tycoon 'friend' but is unsure
if the latter lent his car to his son.

KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Abdul Aziz has denied receiving any money from timber tycoon Michael Chia over a purported RM40 million scandal involving Sabah Umno.

He was responding to Malaysia Today blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin (also known as RPK) who claimed that Nazri and his son Mohamad Nedim received RM3 million and a sports car respectively from Chia.

“Oh no, it’s not true, it’s not true. Chia is a friend. I don’t know if he lent the car to my son. You have to ask my son,” he told FMT in his office this afternoon.

Although he did not directly criticise Raja Petra over the claim, Nazri said that he had no problem with this matter being raised.

MACC panelist under fire for defending Musa

By Calvin Kabaron

MACC panelist Abdul Rahman Dahlan's credibility is now
under question after he openly defended Musa Aman over
the RM40 million political donation.

KOTA BELUD: Kota Belud MP Abdul Rahman Dahlan has been reminded that he sits on a Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) panel and should not be too quick to jump and openly defend his Umno colleagues who are subject to corruption investigations.

Abdul Rahman sits on a MACC’s Special Committee on Anti-Corruption.

Last week he jumped to Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman’s defence over the RM40 million issue.

Commenting on this, Kota Belud State Reform Party (STAR) head Jalumin Bayogoh said Abdul Rahman’s defence of his party colleagues was an indication of a conflict of interest as he is supposed to help expose corruption and propose ways to strengthen approaches to stamp out graft and power abuses in the country.
