Mahathir Should Rectify Umno/Malayan Hegemony - Dr. Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:     “Ex-premier Mahathir should take the opportunity to redeem some of his past mistakes by rectifying the Umno hegemony over the other races and the Umno/Malayan hegemony over Sabah and Sarawak instead of insincere statements to hoodwink the people to continue the Umno stranglehold on the country”said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, commenting on the ex-premier’s statement to BN on adjustments in power-sharing.

In private, the other BN leaders will acknowledge that there is no real power-sharing in BN nowadays and everything is decided by Umno and imposed on the other BN components.

Suria Sabah tidak selamat?

Ezra Haganez

KOTA KINABALU : Selepas kompleks membeli-belah terkemuka Sabah, 1Borneo Hypermall, disyaki menjadi tempat penularan wabak TB bulan lepas dan menyebabkan pengunjung khuatir dengan tahap keselamatan di kompleks membeli belah itu, kini giliran kompleks membeli-belah Suria Sabah pula menjadi kurang selamat untuk dikunjungi.

Bagaimanapun ini bukan wabak tuberkulosis atau TB yang mengancam keselamatan pengunjung tetapi peragut yang juga dipercayai berpunca dari pendatang haram yang semakin berleluasa di kawasan kompleks berkenaan.

Dilaporkan hampir tiap hari ada yang mengadu menjadi atau hampir menjadi mangsa ragut dan gangguan budak-budak malahan orang dewasa Filipina yang berkeliaran mencari mangsa.

What are in Najib's 10-Point Cabinet Decision on "Allah" and Bible?

KOTA KINABALU : In April 2011, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Idris Jala, revealed a 10-point solution to the Bible / Alkitab / Allah controversy. These 10-point solution are :

1. Bibles in all languages can be imported into the country, including Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia.
2. These Bibles can also be printed locally in Peninsula Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. This is a new development which should be welcomed by the Christian groups.
3. Bibles in indigenous languages of Sabah and Sarawak such as Iban, Kadazan-Dusun and Lun Bawang can also be printed locally and imported.

Look Beyond Schooling for Illegals –Dr. Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:    “Without a doubt, the educational needs of the children of illegal immigrants need to be addressed.    However, both the federal and Sabah governments need to look at the problems and potential problems beyond the schooling needs of these illegals” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, commenting on the newenrolment of SK Kinarut where illegals outnumber locals by 3:2.

This phenomena clearly reflects the by-product of the Project IC, “Ops Durian Buruk” or whatever named project of bringing in foreigners to outnumber the local natives and other Sabahans who were then pre-dominantly non-Muslim.

Don't Look for Scapegoats for Price Hikes-Dr. Jeffrey

Everyone except the ruling Umno/BN government knows thatthe recent price hikes are caused by government policies in increasing the petrol and diesel prices, sugar subsidies and now raise in electricity tariffs and the like.

The people also know that these price increases are totally contrary to the BN Manifesto in the May 2013 general election.    The Prime Minister and the BN had promised the people the stars and the moon just to fish for the votes to remain in power.   Six months later and many of these stars and moon promises have been broken.
