Bersekutu dissolved, new party launched for Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: A new political party, the Sabah People’s Front Party (SPF), has been set up here.

Its president, Berman Angkap, who held a media conference upon arrival from Kuala Lumpur today, asserted his party’s stance as an opposition party but said they had no plans as yet to work with other opposition parties in the State.

However, he appeared open to the idea saying, “what is important is that their ideology is similar to ours”.

Berman also announced the dissolution of Parti Barisan Rakyat Sabah Bersekutu (Bersekutu) which he had helmed and which had been around for about 20 years despite being regarded as a “mosquito party”.

He said SPF, which was formally registered by the Registrar of Society (ROS) on Dec 8, was formed to fulfill the wishes of Sabahans who wanted to have the State’s rights restored.

Dr Jeffrey set to quit PKR Thursday, December 16 ?

By Ezra Haganez
Kota Kinabalu, SABAH: Sabah PKR strongman, Dr Jeffrey Kitingan is expected to quit PKR this Thursday, December 16, 2010 !

His supporters said the announcement is expected to be made at his scheduled press conference at Dowish Restaurant in front of the famous KDCA-owned Hongkod Koisaan building in Penampang.

The auspicious December 16 is the last day of Jeffrey's two-month leave. The date was also chosen, according to supporters, because it coincides with the Boston Tea Party revolt against colonialism power in USA long time ago.

An aide of Jeffrey, Philip Among, said his boss is holding the press conference "to explain his political destiny and the future of his struggle" and also "to announce the setting up of a movement".

Philip, who quit PKR weeks ago, is facilitating the press conference, where scores of Jeffrey's ardent supporters are expected to turn up.

Jeffrey has been tight-lipped on his plan. And so are his lieutenants Danial John Jambun and Mozes Michael Iking. Both Daniel and Mozes, are still under suspension in PKR for their involvement in the attempt to register a PKR-breakaway Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS) last year.

There had been talks also going round that he may lead a political party and work with a Sarawak-based party and AKIM, the peninsular-based party to be headed by Zaid.

Students fed with 'skewed' history, say textbook writers

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian students are being fed with a skewed version of our history, said two academicians who are contributors to history text books.

In a report by free morning paperThe Sun, Ranjit Singh Malhi and Ng How Kuen said history books were contaminated with factual errors and distortion to promote political interests.

Ranjit, author of secondary school history textbooks since 1990 and adviser to the Ministry of Education, claimed he had been labelled "anti national" for pointing out to officials about errors and distortions in the textbooks.

Freeze on native certificate: Govt flouting the law

By Charlie Rudai

KOTA KINABALU: The state government must lift the freeze on the issuance of native certificate as it is an infringement of the constitution and a burden to Sino-natives in Sabah.

VK Liew, the deputy minister in the PM’s department, said the constitution clearly states that a 'native' is a citizen if one is the child or grandchild of a person of a race indigenous to Sabah and born either in Sabah or to a father domiciled in Sabah at time of birth.

"It is a constitutional right of those who into this category. Such right cannot be denied because to do so is unconstitutional," he said, after officiating the Liberal Democratic Party's(LDP) 1Malaysia 1Hope Christmas celebration near here over the weekend.

Since the freeze on native certificate, which was to used to validate their status, Sino-natives in Sabah have been facing problems such as transferring properties to their children who do not possess the Native Certificate, said Liew who is LDP president.

Ansari, Thamrin in race to be Sabah PKR chief

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah PKR has again split into two camps over who will lead the opposition party in the state. The battle this time is between incumbent Ahmad Thamrin Jaini and lawyer Ansari Abdullah.

It appears that Dr Jeffrey Kitingan is no more in the picture either by design or default but supporters of the wily politician are backing Thamrin for the post of state PKR chief.

When the state liaison committee met here for the first time last night after the party congress last month, Jeffrey was not even mentioned by divisional heads aligned to him, to be considered for the post .

A divisional head who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the majority of the 23 (out of 25) divisions represented, wanted incumbent Ahmad Thamrin Jaini to be retained.

One Lady Sabahan's Open letter to the Malaysian Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak,

I write to you as a deeply concerned and saddened citizen of Malaysia.  For most of the 45 years of my life, I have been proud to be Malaysian.  Recently, I have become heartbroken to be Malaysian.  

I am profoundly grateful to write this with the support of both my local communities in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo and California, U.S.A., and a larger world community.  That said, I take full ownership of and sole responsibility for the views articulated in this letter; I express them from my stand as a mother, an earth citizen and a leader.

I founded and lead a public charity and non profit organization both in Malaysia and in the U.S., to bridge between worlds and build partnerships for ecological conservation.  I have been at the front lines of the founding and mobilization of Green SURF (Sabah Unite to RePower the Future), the civil society movement opposing the construction of the 300 megawatt coal-fired power plant in Lahad Datu, Sabah, on the edge of the Coral Triangle, one of three of the world's most bio-diverse ecosystems.  You know.  You signed the 6-nation declaration between Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Solomon Islands to collectively protect this 1.6 billion acres of ocean.  You also know of course of your pledge at Copenhagen to reduce carbon emission intensity by up to 40% by 2020.  You likely also know that the plant will displace fishing communities who have been there for a long time - irreparably contaminating their livelihoods forever.  And if you listened, you would also know that they do not want the "development" that your government is imposing on them.

Rosmah's son-in-law quits amid probe into his bogus degrees . WHAT A CHEAT !

The principal of a Malaysian-based college with links to the University of Wales has resigned amid a probe into his bogus qualifications.

Executive director of Fazley International College (FIC) in Kuala Lumpur , Fazley Yaakob – a pop star in Malaysia – stood aside and apologised for “embarrassment” the university had suffered, after he drew attention to allegations over his credentials.

The university suspended its links to the college – one of three Malaysian institutions with links to the Welsh body – after a BBC investigation revealed Mr Yaakob claimed to have a masters and a doctorate in business administration, but both came from a bogus university.

In his letter to the institution, Mr Yaakob wrote: “Though I hold a director’s position, I have never been a part of the academic team nor have I sat at any of the academic meetings.

“As such you can be assured that at no stage was the academic standards or the reputation of the university put at a compromise.

“Upon further reflection, I consider that to continue as a director could be damaging to the college, its student community and the dedicated staff who have worked hard to uphold the academic standards and integrity.”

Mr Yaakob – who has had four hit albums in Malaysia – said that he had decided to resign as it was clear that the controversy was “undermining the reputation and good relations between the college and university,” but that he would continue to fight to clear his name.

The benefit of being Malay first

 
ARE you Malay first? Or Malaysian first? That is the current rhetoric in some parts of our political landscape and is spurring some Malaysians to engage in a contest over what it means to be Malaysian.

For certain the question is not a new one. The DAP has for the longest time been brandishing the motto of “Bangsa Malaysia” in an attempt to dismantle the Barisan Nasional (BN)’s race-based politics. DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang, for one, is nowhere close to letting up on this issue. He has demanded repeatedly for, especially, Umno politicians to declare if they are Malaysian or Malay first.

And while Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin seemingly failed the test question, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz recently scored some points by declaring he was “Malaysian first and Malay next”. But is the question really about which should come first? Why does it seem to matter so much? And which of the two labels — one about race and the other about citizenship — is more profoundly important to us as Malaysian citizens?

Ampun Tuanku, patik pohon derhaka

By Haris Ibrahim
The following is reported to be the first sermon of the First Caliph, Saidina Abu Bakar, after the death of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) :

“I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me, and if I do wrong, set me right.  Sincere regard for truth is loyalty and disregard for truth is treachery. The weak amongst you shall be strong with me until I have secured his rights, if God will; and the strong amongst you shall be weak with me until I have wrested from him the rights of others, if God will. Obey me so long as I obey God and His Messenger (Muhammad, pbuh). But if I disobey God and His Messenger, ye owe me no obedience. Arise for your prayer, God have mercy upon you.”

In writing what I write below, I am guided by these words of wisdom.

She's done it again..   

She sure isn't backing down on  her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her  belief in the rights of her native countrymen..  

A breath of fresh air to see  someone lead. I wish some leaders would step up in   Canada & USA . 
 
  Australian Prime Minister does  it again!! 

This woman  should be appointed Queen of the World.. Truer words have  never been spoken.
It took a lot of courage for  this woman to speak what she had to say for the world to  hear.  The retribution could be phenomenal, but at  least she was willing to take a stand on her and Australia 's beliefs. 

The whole  world  needs a leader like  this!

It’s BN who will do anything to retain power

By Daniel John Jambun 

Kota Kinabalu, SABAH: During the recent Barisan Nasional Convention, Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that the leadership of the opposition parties are actually struggling to achieve certain objectives to gain power and are bound to resolving their personal problems to the extent that they are prepared to deceive the people, and that the people and leaders of Barisan Nasional must be wary because the opposition leaders were prepared to do anything to achieve their objectives including tarnishing Malaysia's image abroad. "Beware everyone, they are very dangerous. I want to point out here, they are anti-national. We must go all out and ensure that this country is not destroyed by their evil activities," he said.

 

Of course this is yet another attempt by the BN to demonise the opposition, with no hesitation with the use of the words “dangerous”, “anti-national”, “destroyed”, “evil activities” and so on. It made me think how uncivilised our political system must be because BN leaders can call the opposition leaders with demonic words, to make us feel threatened and frightened. It also made me think about myself being in the opposition and feeling my intelligence deeply insulted, as if I didn’t know better. What is the point of Malaysians being educated in the 25 universities and even more colleges if our leaders keep talking as if we are just village yokels who are expected to believe every blatant lies the leaders are telling us? When are out leaders ever going to understand that Malaysians are now globalised world citizens. When the PM is in the mood for asking us to go “glocal” he treats us as if we are at par with the Americans, but come the political functions, the oppositions are an evil lot and the people a bunch of idiots. So where is the “Malaysia Boleh” slogan, the principles of “hadari”, what about turning Malaysia into an education hub, and what about the call for us to go and conquer the world? I can imagine what kind of outrage the public would have if Obama had said what Najib said: “"Beware fellow Americans, the Republicans are very dangerous. I want to point out here, they are anti-national! We must go all out and ensure that this country is not destroyed by their evil activities!" Get my drift? I am certain, even Democrats would be screaming abuses at Obama. But in Malaysia, no, we are supposed to tolerate it, just accept it as a political game, and believe the oppositions to be followers of the Devil himself!

 

Thousands of 'Sino-natives' may end up status-less

By Queville To

KOTA KINABALU: The authority of the Native Court in Sabah may be on the verge of unravelling itself and throwing into doubt the status of tens of thousands of Sino-natives in the state.

Sabah DAP is concerned that a “politically motivated” investigation of the Sino-native status of their boss Jimmy Wong, who is also Sri Tanjung assemblyman, would open a Pandora's box of claims and counter-claims across the state.

DAP secretary Edwin Bosi warned that the move would have far-reaching impact on the status of children of mixed parentage.

"The issue of whether one is a native or not, should be left to the Native Court to decide without interference by the government," said Bosi.

He called on the Sabah government to let the Native Court handle all native-related matters, and resume the issuance of the native certificates immediately.

“It is legal for anyone to present himself or herself to the Native Court if he or she would like to be known or identified as a Sino-native or a native,” he said.

He added that Sabah DAP strongly supported the calls to strengthen the Native Court in Sabah as proposed during a public forum on the indigenous legal system organised by the Human Rights Commission Malaysia (Suhakam) here on Oct 12.

Sabah poverty: EPU formula all wrong, says Sipaun

By Dominic Legeh

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah continues to top the list of poor states in the country because the federal government's allocation for each state is based on the number of Malaysian citizens in each state and not the actual population.

Former Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) vice-chairman, Simon Sipaun said the Malaysia Plan formula which was used by the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) was not feasible for Sabah because it did not take into account the thousands of illegal immigrants.

He said nine years ago when Suhakam was under the chairmanship of Musa Hitam, they had a dialogue in Kuala Lumpur which involved the relevant ministers and the EPU.

“During the meeting, I asked (the EPU) how they allocated money to all the states when formulating the Malaysia Plan.

"In the case of Sabah, I said, there are many illegal immigrants in Sabah and supposing that we have half a million illegal immigrants in Sabah, do you take into account the total number of people in Sabah when you allocate the money or not,” he recalled.

Malaysia’s hypocrisy over child abuse

Cherry-picking from Syariah law for excuses that suit them

Mariam Mokhtar, Malaysia Chronicle

EDITOR'S PICK Malaysians have long acknowledged that they are subject to selective justice; poor vs. rich, muslims vs non-muslims, women vs men and now it seems children vs adults.

The marriage of a 14-year old girl on 7 December sparked public outrage. To get around this, Muslim ministers cherry-pick from syariah law. It is this false adherence to Islamic principles and the “holier than thou” attitude that exposes their blatant hypocrisy and double standards.

Nazri Abdul Aziz, minister in the Prime minister’s department who is in charge of legal affairs, finally revealed that the government had no intention of reviewing laws allowing for underage marriages because the practice is permitted under Islam.

He said, “If the religion allows it, then we can't legislate against it. Islam allows it as long as the girl is considered to have reached her pubescent stage, once she has her menstruation".

Another man in a songkok

In the old days kids of 10 or 11 went to war and at 14 or 15 they were veteran soldiers and at 18 were considered old (by 40 many were already dead). That was more than 1,000 years ago. So at 14 they got married, even in the west.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

The height of a man’s songkok is not a measurement of his piety, says the PAS spiritual leader, Tok Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat. Nik Aziz was of course referring to thesongkok-clad PERKASA leaders.

In fact, a songkok makes a man an Indian because the songkok originated from India, not Malaysia. So the PERKASA people should be screaming Ketuanan India rather than Ketuanan Melayu.

Now another man with a songkok -- the Jakim director-general -- has decreed that child marriages are kosher. Imagine children of the age of 14 can get married but they are not old enough to vote. You can trust them to have children and raise a family but you can’t trust them to vote.

And they say we are insulting Islam.

By the way, this man, Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz, was one of those who made a police report against me that resulted in my ISA detention back in 2008.

Okay, is Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz now going to defend slavery? Slavery is legal in Islam and has never been banned. Ask any ulamak and he or she can tell you that Islam never banned slavery. Therefore, you can legally keep slaves.

A very inspiring and notable tweet from YB Hannah Yeoh yesterday prompted me to put up this posting.
@hannahyeoh Just heard news another young lawyer friend will b migrating 2Australia.Young people,don’t lose hope.Dont change ur country,change ur govt!
This country is at its worst since Merdeka in terms of education, human rights, corruptions while the institutions are not performing their duties, without fear or favor, entrusted upon them but to abide by the calls of the ruling elite.


We see how this country fared from being the best in Asia to become the worst in the bottom half. All along what we can see is that the government is simply happy to be the best among the worst but not striving to gain the best among the best status.

Sarawak governemnt - from bad to worse

To all my anak biak,

As your Penghulu, I wish to registered my great concerned with regard to the Ministry of Education decision to categorise our dayak and Orangulu as Keturunan: MELAYU/BUMIPUTERA. In fact I would not mind if its BUKAN MELAYU/BUMIPUTRA. Whatever is your political views, you should treat this matter as deadly serious. We all know the implications- if anyone of you think it ok, or its a coincidence, my friends you are deadly wrong. We must know that their spirit and teaching is to dominate, the means to achieve that objective is irrelevant, as long as it be achieved. ie. by hook or crook, by deceit or lies. Where are our YBs. DS Idris?, Jacob, Lihan, Balang, Mawan, Masing, etc. Where are the Persatuan...FORUM led by Lihan Jok, Kenyah, Saban, Kayan, Berawan, Kelabit...Mr. Dick of Rurum???etc. Our very identity and existence as a race as a unique group of people are at stake here. I noticed with great sadness that those of you in the BN side are only interested to be politically correct. Your balls shrunk when it come to defending your community rights. To all our BN Ybs, I wish to remind you that if you do not make a stand this time, like how you hide yourself in your own closet with regard to the Allah issue, just because its not comfortable to raise the issues to your political Masters, and that you may not be reappointed or renominated, you are going to lost a lot of votes, because I as your penghulu, I have no choice but to direct all my anak biak to vote you out. Hmmm...whether you like it or not, or whether you are a BN supporter, all of us must salute Mr. Baru Bian on this issue. He is the only one so far who dare to make a public stand on this matter. Congratulations to Mr. Baru Bian. Keep it up. And for those who are on the BN side, where are you. It should be easier for you to highlight the issue, as you are supposed to do it within the "BN family" or are you only interested in safe guarding your position that you have become so lame, and had become the lowest class of balls polishers. Come on people, wake up!!!

Ketuanan Melayu: A risky experiment

I was born Malay and was hardly conscious of my race, either at school or at home. Race hardly cropped up in conversation except when we had form-filling to do - like applying for an identity card. Religion was something sacred and the only time we'd be aware of our racial and religious differences was deciding what to wear for a wedding or whose open house to visit, during the various festivities.

Thus, the recent clamour for “ketuanan Melayu” is destructive and damaging - not just for Malaysia but more so for the Malays, the very people that the “ketuanan Melayu” concept is supposed to protect. It is wrong because “ketuanan Melayu” is a dangerous experiment in social engineering.

Our neighbours were both Chinese and Indian. As children, we studied and played with each other, even hitched lifts to school when necessary, whilst the adults shared garden produce, swopped certain special dishes for the various 'open houses' and practiced their own version of 'neighbourhood watch'.

Please stay! Sabah PKR leaders urge Jeffrey

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Senior Sabah PKR leaders tried their utmost to convince Jeffrey Kitingan to continue to help lead the beleaguered party at a gathering in Tuaran last night.

The informal meeting, attended by the party's top guns, was hosted by Dusun community strongman and former senator Kalakau Untol at his residence.

Outgoing state liaison chief Ahmad Thamrin Jaini, newly-elected supreme council member Dr Roland Chia, Tawau division chief Kong Hong Ming, veteran politician Karim Ghani and scores of other leaders, urged Jeffrey to continue leading the opposition's struggle.

Jeffrey, who was present, said he was there "just to meet friends and tell them that he will continue the struggle in his own way”.

One man’s lie is another man’s fact

But are Chin Peng and Lee Kuan Yew mentioned in this context? They were significant players in the creation of Malaya and later, Malaysia. What we read is about Umno this and Umno that. We are told that Malaya gained independence and Malaysia was later created because of Umno.

Malaysian students abroad told to be wary of media spinning

(Bernama) - Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today advised Malaysian students abroad to be wary of some Malaysian media that are inclined to spinning news stories and spreading lies.

"I ask that the students understand the situation to prevent themselves from being influenced by the news spins and lies," he told a press conference after a dialogue with a group of Malaysian student leaders from throughout Indonesia, here, today.

Muhyiddin, who is on a four-day working visit to Indonesia since yesterday,  was responding to the student leaders' call for the Malaysian media to be truthful and transparent in their news reports.

"I explained that the media was very influential, and while there were media which were supportive of the government, there were others that belonged to the opposition or were pro-opposition, with some of them good at spinning stories," he said.

Also present at the dialogue were Malaysian ambassador to Indonesia Datuk Syed Munshe Afdzaruddin Syed Hassan and director of the Malaysian Students Department in Indonesia, Datuk Dr Junaidy Abu Bakar.

The deputy prime minister agreed that a seminar on the 1Malaysia concept be organised for the Malaysian students in Indonesia and other Malaysians in Jakarta so that they would understand the concept better.

He said experts on the concept could be invited to give talks and interact with the seminar participants here.

Muhyiddin said the Malaysian student leaders also expressed their support for the government's decision to abolish the Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) examination, but wanted the school-based assessment system that would replace the PMR, to be a sound and viable one.

 

Moral decay in Malaysian politics

The moral rot in Malaysian politics started the day Dr. Mahathir took power. It is ironic that it takes a half Indian to drum up the frenzy of the Malays’ clamour for supremacy. 

By Johan Brendon

 It is getting rather tedious to hear the relentless and pathetic complaining from the Malay supremacists that their special rights are being eroded. Indeed these zealots are getting desperate, vicious and personal. 

The latest salvo from the youth wing of Perkasa Chief - Arman Azha Abu Hanifah accusing the PKR President Wan Azizah Wan Ismail of being a “political prostitute” is a case in point. The fact that he has no qualms in making such a demeaning remark against a decent woman like Wan Azizah Wan Ismail just goes to show the depth of moral decay amongst the Malay extremists in Perkasa and UMNO. 

With such an unkind and nasty attack on a fellow human, one can only hope that they do not claim to be Muslims too. 

Muslims are known for their generous spirit and magnanimity. And besides, this bunch of extremists has lost their self respect. Their hatred and vitriol against those who oppose them has gone beyond the norm of what is acceptable in politics. Just like the Ku Klux Klan and the Nazis, they seem to equate racial superiority to patriotism and it is precisely this kind of ‘emotive’ politics which led to genocide in some countries such as Rwanda and former Yugoslavia. The question is - why has Malaysia lost its moral compass?  

Jeffrey set to form his own party?

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah PKR big shot Jeffrey Kitingan, who is now without a top post in the party, may be moving to set up his own political party.

"It pains my heart when I think on how PKR had treated me, treated us..." he said quietly during an interview over dinner at a shopping complex here on Thursday (Dec 2).

In a somber mood he reminisced how he had befriended and sought common grounds with Anwar Ibrahim, PKR de facto leader, three years ago on the various issues affecting the nation, especially those that had had direct impact on Sabah and Sarawak.

"He agreed with our views, rights and aspirations, and even promised to make amendments in the party's constitution. But nothing has been done...," he said.
