Very sad for Sabah as a young naton in 1963.

It is even more sad for the nation (Malaya) and then Malaysia in 1963, that Sabah was manipulated as a young nation by another young nation and what we see today is what some people sow.

Put the blame on Sabah leaders then and now is very easy and it is very sad that Sabah is likened to a ‘prostitute’ and what TomThumb says how much is the one who go to ‘prostitute’ worth?

Sabah was a prematured independent states run by outsiders within Sabah and within the nation in the early years as it is already well known how Mustapha and Usno could be proxies of Manila and KL. Most of those socalled leaders are not likely born in Sabah and they have ruined the state and blame that on the local. Is that FAIR?

Actually we know who are behind syed kecik who made billions of Ringgit from Sabah and now where has all those wealth gone? Syed Kecik from Kedah and born elsewhere was sent by who – a dilemma yet to be exposed by the author.

So if you have a son and the son sells every thing in house, how would you react?

So if the son is not born in the state and actually a foreigner and claimed to be born in the state and the inclination is to sell every thing in the states to go away like the biblical prodigal son. How would we explain such behaviour? The tendency of the foreigners is obvious.

Sabah and Sabahans are not prostitutes but those who had committed daylight robberies, rapes, scams using official illegal positions etc etc etc resulting in a an oppressed state are MORE than the prostitutes themselves.

Today, I think Malaysia as a whole is no different as it is in Sabah. The rotten system that sucks all and sundry. It is very sad for those pioneers who had built up the nation with good intention only to see the nation including Sabah sliding away by a small groups of known prostitutes as it is in Perak after the same that happened in 1994 in Sabah when DSAI was the dpm. What a way to go on?

So what is next for the nation as a whole not to be screaming at each others.

About the chances of PR in Sabah in GE13, it all depends on the Electoral Rolls and how clean is the EC in the conduct of the elections. It would be a disaster if BN/UMNO still gets its rotten way.

It is very disturbing that the costs of general elections are increased substantially in recent years without consideration for the percept of democracy where most people can have a chance not the reserve of the rich and those who can afford to go in as candidates.

About the electoral roll of Sabah, I believe up to 40% of the voters are linked to project IC hence these people would support those hands which had given them the illegal/legal status. So how can the local be able to bring back a state government by the local parties when the votes could be split in more than two ways – local parties versus peninsula based ones.

The results could be foregone as bribes for votes will be rampant in Sabah and you know who has the money to do that.

So Sabahans must decide with action as how best to instal a state Government decisively with the state interest over others including personal interests.

Unity Government Proposal Will Be Accepted Eventually: Hadi

SHAH ALAM, June 6 (Bernama) — PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang is confident that his idea of a unity government will eventually be accepted by the party members.

He said the time would come when the PAS leadership and its allies in the opposition pact would find the proposal acceptable.

“It’s too early…we have to accept the fact that something that is rejected today may not be rejected forever. The time will come,” he told reporters after visiting the exhibition booths at the ongoing PAS general assembly at the Malawati Stadium here today.

Abdul Hadi said the concept and objective of the unity government had yet to be clarified as the details were not made available to members of the media.

“There is so much more that needs to be explained,” he said.

On the new PAS leadership line-up, Abdul Hadi said it was the decision of the members.

“It’s a mix of ulama, professionals and social activists,” he added.

Joshua:-
If this ever come true and through, the 1Malaysia concept is down the drain as the Sabah BN will be diluted or even obsolete worst than now even when Sabah has 24 BN’s MP.

All Sabah’s 25 MPs would be inside the same rotten system.

So Sabah cannot really make hays while the sun shine and soon it will in darker eclipse.

So where is Sabah and Sarawak heading for as the PM from Sabah is definitely out of the present rotten system and soon would nothing for 1Malaysia except rhetoric only.

Meanwhile IGGG should be in-thing.

230,000 Indonesians ‘trafficked’ in Sabah
Joe Fernandez | Jun 16, 09 5:23pm
The Jakarta-based International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) estimates that the illegal trafficking of Indonesians in Sabah to be as high as 230,000.

Abhijit Dasgupta, ICMC’s senior manager said that the figures were derived from a study of 700,000 Indonesian migrant workers in Sabah.

“We estimate that there at least 100,000 legal and illegal Indonesians working in homes, restaurants, cafes, bars and brothels,” said Dasgupta.

“The others are in the construction, agriculture and plantation industries.”

Dasgupta said this when presenting a paper ‘Combating Trafficking in Persons for Sexual Exploitation’ at a seminar in Samarinda, Kalimantan.

While he could not provide the latest figures, Dasgupta cited a 2003 study by the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment in Jakarta which estimated that about 5,000 Indonesian women were trafficked for prostitution in Sabah.

Dasgupta laid the blame on Sabahans for the huge influx of Indonesians workers as they were unwilling to be employed in dirty, difficult and dangerous work.

He also said the growth of the market economy and a tendency to procure cheaper labour to make maximise profits contributed to the problem.

Dasgupta also pointed out that Malaysia only passed its Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act in 2007.

ICMC figures in Sabah show that 19 per cent of Indonesian migrants came to look for work independently, 16 per cent were accompanied or assisted by their families and friends, while 54 per cent were escorted to and fro in groups by either their recruiters or the recruiters’ representatives.

Indons monitored closely by agents

“The fact that the majority were escorted during their return indicates the degree of control by recruiters or their agents,” said Dasgupta.

“Twenty per cent of the respondents claimed that their passports and their travel documents were falsified in some way by brokers.”

Indonesian migrant workers, according to the ICMC findings, had to fork out between RM833 and RM1,388 as transport fee from their places of origin to Nunukan Island.

Nunukan is the last stop in east Kalimantan for Indonesian workers bound for Sabah.

The result: Some sell their belongings such as land and animals; others borrow from loan sharks. The luckier ones get help from family, relatives, neighbours and friends.

A good number get their agents to pay their transportation costs, sponsor their stay in Nunukan and the cost of processing their travel documents.

“Those dependent on their agents monetarily were informed that they could repay them through salary deductions. But only few were informed of the amount to be repaid and over how long a period of time,” said Dasgupta.

“It seems that these arrangements are left sufficiently vague to keep the migrant workers under pressure for as long as possible and extract as much as possible from him or her.”

Monitoring system in place

Employers of migrant workers in Sabah have to fork out an annual levy to the state government as well. Although the employees are not liable for the levy, employers generally deducted these from their employees’ salaries every month.

According to the ICMC assessments, migrant workers are not given copies of their employment contracts and this leaves open the possibility that their debts can be increased arbitrarily and unilaterally.

To add insult to injury, most workers had to leave their travel documents with their employers, thus preventing the possibility of their escape from bondage.

Dasgupta said the ICMC’s early findings showed that about five percent were held in “slave like conditions”, three percent were abused verbally, four percent were threatened with bodily harm when they wanted to leave, two percent were forced to carry out “undesirable work” including prostitution and subjecting them to rape and sexual abuse.

“It is clear that there are significant debts among Indonesian migrant workers in Sabah which restrict their mobility and leaves them open to abuse by their employers,” said Dasgupta.

Dasgupta said ICMC has an on-going monitoring system in Nunukan since August last year and is also conducting a survey with help of local partners, the European Union and the US Government.

They cover Indonesian migrant workers passing through Tawau, six key municipalities in Sabah and research on the incomes and savings of Indonesian workers.

“We also get information from official figures issued from time to time by the Sabah and Indonesian governments and their respective agencies,” said Dasgupta.

Assistant secretary to the secretariat of council of anti trafficking in persons at the Home Ministry in PutraJaya, Azrul Izham disclosed that 23 trafficking cases were investigated between Feb 28 last year and April 6 this year.

Of the number, eight have been brought to court and one conviction secured thus far. The 23 cases involve 110 victims under the interim protection order of which eight were children and 41 victims under the protection order that included seven children.

“So we have done better than Australia even though their anti-trafficking in persons laws has been in place much longer,” said Azru

We’ll not take away your land: Najib
By Raynore Mering and Samuel Aubrey

Ibans assured government will solve problem of uppermost concern to them — land

LUBOK ANTU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday assured the Ibans that the government will not snatch their land away from them.

He even went further to assure them that problems related to their land would be solved by the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.

“… have confidence in the Barisan Nasional (BN) government. We have no intention of grabbing anybody’s land. The Ibans should not worry. The BN government will not snatch your property,” Najib said at a huge gathering at Rumah Manai, Nanga San, here.

“We want to ensure the future of the Ibans and we will solve the land problem that I know you are concerned about,” he added.

The prime minister said from his discussions with Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud he was convinced that the state’s model of native customary rights land development would ensure a better future for the Dayaks, particularly the Ibans.

He said he was confident that the model would provide the opportunity for the Dayaks in the rural areas to earn a stable income and thus improve their standard of living.

Najib went on to announce that the Rural and Regional Development Ministry would upgrade some 1,800 longhouses throughout Sarawak, starting with 223 doors here at a cost of RM1 million.

The prime minister and his entourage flew in a helicopter from Kuching to Lubok Antu Sports Complex yesterday morning. From there, they travelled by land to Rumah Manai, giving the premier a taste of the gravelled 8-km Lubok Antu-Bulo road to the longhouse.

Besides the announcement on the longhouse improvement programme, Najib came bearing plenty of goodies for the people of Lubok Antu.

He announced that a contractor would soon start work to tar-seal the Lubok Antu-Bulo Road, which would cost RM10 million this year and another RM3 million next year.

He also announced that tender would be called soon for the construction of two new roads costing RM60 million.

He told his rural audience that there would be new tourism facilities; a RM58-million Lubok Antu Police Complex; the Lubok Antu Customs, Immigration and Quarantine building; and district offices in Lubok Antu and Engkilili. The total cost of these projects would be RM75.13 million.

On top of that, he announced a RM630,000 allocation for the development of the Batang Ai Aquaculture Industry Zone and revealed that Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Douglas Uggah had proposed that fresh water fish reared there be supplied to schools to ensure a market for them.

Earlier, Najib pointed out that it was his wish to visit Batang Ai to personally thank the people there for returning the BN with a strong mandate in the Batang Ai by-election on April 7.

“I feel very happy and touched by the results. BN had won with an increased majority that we can be proud of. This means that the people of Batang Ai, especially the Ibans, here still have confidence in the BN in fighting for the people and their future.

“I am here also to give you my assurance that we will make good all our election promises. And don’t worry YB Malcolm (Mussen Lamoh), we will give you wings to fly,” he said to the cheers of the audience.

Mussen, 49, of Parti Rakyat Sarawak, had polled 3,907 votes against 2,053 votes garnered by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) candidate, former five-term Lubok Antu MP Jawah Gerang.

Mussen’s majority of 1,854 votes also more than doubled the 806 vote-majority managed by Mussen’s predecessor Datuk Dublin Unting Ingkot in the 2006 state election. The by-election was called following Unting’s untimely death on Feb 24 after suffering a heart attack.

Praising Mussen for his speech earlier, Najib said: “Malcolm in his very philosophical speech said humans can survive 40 days without food, four days without water, four minutes without air and four seconds without hope.

“But don’t worry we are here to give you hope for the future. Under the BN, you will have hope for the future,” Najib assured.

Najib said Mussen had made the right decision to change his profession from being a civil servant to a politician.

Saying he also agreed with Mussen that a journey of a thousand miles began with the first step, the Prime Minister assured the new assemblyman that BN was there for him.

“We are here to help you so that your journey doesn’t end with just a few steps. It will continue because we believe that only BN can propel Malaysia to greater heights. We intend to make Malaysia a nation we can be proud of.

“We will make Malaysia a successful nation of the 21st century and within that concept, we must ensure that every single community, no matter how big or small, would be with us and receive the benefits of a successful nation.

“That is why I came up with the 1Malaysia slogan. Under the umbrella of 1Malaysia, we can walk together, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, we will walk this journey and we will bring Malaysia to greater heights,” said Najib.

Change Govt must come but how?

Dear friends,
I want to hear from the Anwar the following:-
1. His view on Project IC.
2. His view on 1994′s power grab in Sabah by UMNO.
3. His view on the Coal Power Plant in Sabah vis-a-vis the
supply of coal in Kalimantan.
4. His view on Saham Amanah Sabah.
5. His view on the Philippines Claim on Sabah.
6. Also Anwar’s and Yong Teck Lee’s view on those articles by RPK on the link to Abu Sayyap as likely partner of Jemaah Islamiah and Al Qaeda.
Meanwhile illegal UMNO and BN has more to answer for all the above matters too.

SAPP welcomes Azmin’s call for One to One contest against BN in next polls http://www.sapp.org.my/hq/090619_sapp_pkr.asp
Kota Kinabalu, June 19, 2009: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president, Datuk Yong Teck Lee today said that SAPP is positive about talks with PKR on preparations for the next general elections.

“The most sensible part of the election preparations is to agree that the election should be a one to one contest against the might of the BN machinery because we must not underestimate the will power of the BN and UMNO to stay in power at all costs and using all tricks” added Yong.

This was conveyed by Yong during a lunch meeting with PKR State liaison Chairman for Sabah, YB Azmin Ali, this afternoon together with Deputy President Datuk Eric Majimbun from SAPP.

“Therefore, the SAPP Supreme Council at its meeting on June 13 has identified three main challenges to an opposition victory:

(a) Money politics whereby the BN has overwhelming advantage in all constituencies,
(b) Illegal immigrants voters,
(c) The use of phantom votes and postal ballots in marginal constituencies whereby votes have been cast in the names of non existent voters, such as the examples shown in the election petition trial of Sandakan MP last year.

“Other relevant concerns are the lack of a common platform on both national and Sabah issues among Pakatan parties and SAPP such as autonomy for Sabah, the PAS-UMNO unity talks, the vastly divergent ideologies of PAS and DAP on nation building issues and the PAS claim to the Prime Ministership.

“On the positive side, the BN is fast losing support among the people over a range of issues such as the economy and economic mismanagement, crime and social problems, racial polarization and religious bigotry and a general lack of direction at the top of the nation’s leadership.

“The 1 Malaysia concept has failed to catch the people’s imagination and instead became the butt of jokes among the people. Past excesses of the BN administration is catching up with the current government such as the collapse of the Terengganu stadium and other building failures, the Port Klang Free Zone scandal, the Perak fiasco and falling education standards.

“In Sabah, the failure to resolve the Queen Elizabeth hospital crisis, the controversial coal power plant proposal, the piping of our natural gas to Petronas’s Bintulu Liquefied Natural Gas plant, escalating costs of living, poverty, illegal immigrants problems beset the people.

“The Labuan Bridge proposal is at a dead end whereas Johore is getting a third bridge and Penang a second bridge. Both the relaxation of the cabotage policy and the announcement of RM245 million to buy the Sabah Medical Centre turned out to be mere public relations exercise without any real benefits to the people,” stressed Yong.

What procurement for m;sia when tainted with massive corruption-wise in a rotten sucking sytem.

Tunku Abdul Rahman’s Artefacts To Be Redisplayed

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) — Several artefacts belonged to the First Prime Minister of Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj will be redisplayed at the Tunku Abdul Rahman Memorial, said Information Communication and Culture Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Kamaruddin Siaraf.

He said the National Archive was now in the process of inventorying the artefacts.

“The National Archive will also obtain views from experts as we need to determine whether some of the items are gold-coated or solid gold,” he told reporters after attending a dialogue programme at the Angkasapuri, here Friday.

Yesterday Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim announced the content of Tunku Abdul Rahman’s safe after instructing the National Archive to open it.

The box, which was last opened in 1970, contains eight wooden and velvet boxes.

Inside the wooden and velvet boxes were a wrist watch, two golden keys (one of which was from former New York City Mayor Robert Wagner), two sets of cufflinks, a gold coin with a ringgit value from former Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Ismail Nasiruddin Shah, a commemorative coin from former Taiwan president Chiang Kai-shek and a 1970-dated golden plaque from the National Shooting Association.

The biggest of all was a golden rectangular metal box which contained about 23 gold items such as a Parker pen, a Chinese character that means “long life”, at least two pairs of scissors, keys and a round plaque that carried the number 65.

Kamaruddin declined to comment on the value of the artefacts, saying they were priceless.

Meanwhile, Kamaruddin said Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) would carry out reports taking into account existing policies and the nature of information it was airing. “We carry out the live telecast of parliament sessions based on these considerations. We wouldn’t want to show unsavoury things.

“That is our policy. We are not being one-sided in deciding what to show or not to show. I think the people should understand this,” he said when asked to comment on claims that RTM did not carry out a full 30-minute live telecast of parliament sessions and instead did so selectively.

Meanwhile, Kamaruddin said the “Sembang Kopi” programme, organised by the ministry, would be expanded to the state and district levels and moderated by officers of the Information Department and Special Affairs Department.

The programme, a casual information and entertainment programme, was launched on June 5 and served as a platform for RTM staff to showcase their artistic talents as well as to discuss current issues.

“The concept at the state and district levels would be similar to what is being done in Kuala Lumpur. We would go to coffee shops, form small cultural groups, showcase some performances and tell some stories,” he said.

Kamaruddin said the “Sembang Kopi” programme in the states would involve the locals with the purpose of informing them of government policies and current issues.

Kelantan is the first state to launch the programme in the last two weeks.

Who are the Malayan as a general statement?

The kettle would be calling the pot BLACK.
I think most people are robbers – locals (to be defined) including as we have seen in Sabah. In Sabah we all sorts of local including foreigners who become bumiputra (Peninsula m’sia also got) with project IC in the millions. You don’t see them like we don’t see the earthworms until we dig them under the ground.

Sabah and Malaysia have been ruled by illegals and foreigners who claim themselves local hence they do all sorts of illegal things. The worst is that they after enriching themselves blame that on the locals as the locals give them their votes – most time by bribes of little money – and so in this thread it is the same thing. Foreigners (our socalled leaders included) have enriched themselves by all those production sharing agreements as lopsided. Sabah and Sarawak are getting pittance of 5%.

So about the GE13, if Malayans are all robbers then Sabah and Sarawak should avoid all Peninsula based parties be they in BN or PR.

It is only right that we have local parties looking after the state affairs. So would we trust our locals when tempted are also robbers.

So who are really the Ali baba and the robbers?
Peninsular based parties with the local candidates?

Is it better that the locals steal than the outsiders steal? We need to make a clear choice here.

Locals who make deals in favour of outsiders are definitely NOT locals hence illegal leaders aplenty in the nation and Sabah.
