Sabah still ‘colonised’

By Luke Rintod of FMT
TAMBUNAN: State chairman of the State Reform Party (STAR), Jeffrey Kitingan, said Sabah, though freed from the colonial British in 1963, is actually “practically” still under colonisation today.

He said this can be tested with a simple political arithmetic: “We are free if we are free from colonisation or outside power. You are an independent country if you are free to plan and decide your own fiscal policies.”

Likewise, he said a country cannot consider itself independent if its own people do not have the power to elect or choose their own leaders.


‘It’s for the future generations of Sabahans’

A former policeman who filed a summons against the federal and
state governments over his 'lost' rights, explains his decision.
KOTA KINABALU: In an unprecedented move, a 70-year-old Sabahan filed a summons against the federal and state governments on Monday for failure to implement the Borneonisation of the federal public service in the state, thus depriving Sabahans of job opportunities for over 47 years.

Bernard Fung Fon Chen, a former policeman, sees himself a victim. He was born in Sabah at a time when Sabah was a British Colony called North Borneo.
