Is UPKO Still Relevant or Powerless? -STAR

Kota Kinabalu:    “While it is laudable for the Upko MP for Putatan to be brave enough to voice the lack of funding for Sabah, it shows that Upko is irrelevant and powerless in the BarisanNasional and incapable of safeguarding the interests of Sabah” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief in response to the statement by Datuk Dr. Marcus Mojigoh recently thatSabah should be getting more funding from the Federal Government towards improving the electricity supply in the state and that the electricity tariffs were increased without consulting the elected representatives.

Pairin, Dompok, Kurup in rare show of unity

Against simmering anti-BN sentiments amongst the
Kadazan Dusun Murut communities, PBS, Upko
and PBRS leaders came together in the name of religion.
KOTA KINABALU: Three Kadazandusun Murut (KDM) leaders offered each other the hand of unity last night in a long awaited encounter, symbolising their resolve to help Barisan Nasional (BN) win the 13th general election.
Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Joseph Pairin Kitingan, United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) president Bernard Dompok, and Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) president Joseph Kurup shook hands at a ceremony to hand over RM4.5 million worth of goods to heads of churches in Sabah, here.
In what is seen as a show of solidarity, they are bent on working together to ensure victory for BN led by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.

Dompok scares Christians with hudud

Support for Barisan Nasional is plunging and religion
seems to be the only weapon left to fight the war
against Pakatan Rakyat in Sabah and Sarawak.
PENAMPANG: Embattled Upko chief, Bernard Dompok, has raised the “Islamic state” bogeyman to scare Christians in Sabah and Sarawak into voting for the ruling Barisan Nasional in the coming general election.

Worried that support for Upko (United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation) and the ruling coalition is plunging, Dompok warned the Christian community in both states that voting in BN would prevent the shift towards a more Islamised country as desired by opposition PAS, a partner in the Pakatan Rakyat pact.

RCI or no RCI? Asks STAR on conflicting PM and Dompok statements

Najib trying to find excuses to avoid RCI on
illegal immigrants and fake ICs in Sabah?
KENINGAU : The State Reform Party (STAR) has questioned the sudden turn-around by Prime Minister Najib Razak's stand on whether or not to agree to the setting up of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the large presence of illegal immigrants in Sabah and the rampant issuance of Malaysian documents to these people.

Deputy chairman of the party's Sabah chapter, Dr Nicholas James Guntobon, in a statement here said Najib's non-committal answer to the issue of setting up the RCI reflected UMNO's second thought on it after a presumed strong objection from Sabah UMNO during his recent visit to Sabah.

'Bom Jangka' Upko Dikhuatiri Meletup?

Oleh : KASMAN MAHALI
PRESIDEN UPKO, Tan Sri Bernard Giluk Dompok juga dijangka akan meletupkan sebuah lagi bom jangka yang tertanam di persada politik Sabah jika pertemuannya dengan Perdana Menteri pada 30 Januari ini tidak berhasil.

Mesyuarat Majlis Tertinggi UPKO kelmarin memberikan mandat kepada Dompok untuk membuat apa juga keputusan demi survival parti yang mula tenggelam di celah kebangkitan pribumi Sabah yang mendesak penubuhan sebuah Suruhanjaya Siasatan DiRaja untuk menyiasat pengundi hantu dan kerakyatan songsang di Sabah.

Upko to stay with BN for now

By Luke Rintod of FMT
While Upko president Bernard Dompok has said
that the party will remain with Sabah BN,
insiders are sceptical.
PENAMPANG: Upko, the largely Kadazandusun-based party in Sabah Barisan Nasional, is unlikely to leave the coalition “before the general election” despite the persistent rumblings of discontent within its rank and file over Umno’s shabby treatment of the party.

Party president Bernard Dompok, who is also a federal minister, had indicated so and has reportedly pacified his deputy Wilfred Bumburing who is said to be toying with “jumping ship”.
