KOTA KINABALU: The Consumers Affairs and Protection Society of Sabah (Caps) has come under pressure from the state Barisan Nasional government to remain independent on the political front.
Its president James Bagah felt the government’s displeasure after he threw in his lot with the opposition but soldiered on until this weekend.
The State Reform Party (Star) member said he felt forced to give up his political belief for the sake of the NGO.
Bagah announced his resignation from Star that is led by Jeffrey Kitingan and showed a letter to the party at the end of Caps’ coordinators meeting at Hongkod Koisaan building on Friday.

KOTA KINABALU: If there is one building that almost every Sabahan can easily identify with, it is the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in Kota Kinabalu.

The iconic QEH was originally built at the 1.5th mile Penampang Road in 1957 by the British. This was the time when Sabah was still known as British North Borneo. It was then just a cluster of single and double storey blocks.

In 1981, an important addition to QEH, a RM20 million eight-storey block was completed.

Foreign traders in Sabah flouting law

KOTA KINABALU: The Consumer Affairs and Protection Association of Sabah (CAPS) wants the Sabah state government to explain how a burgeoning number of newly-arrived Pakistanis have been allowed to literally set up shop around the state.

CAPS’ deputy treasurer, Donny Yapp, said it was now quite easy to find Pakistani shopkeepers all around the city and its immediate outskirts.

He said CAPS had since last year been receiving reports and complaints both from consumers and local retailers that more and more foreigners, especially Pakistanis, had been given a free-hand to run groceries in many places that local retailers would normally have problem setting up business.

KOTA KINABALU : Sejak tahun lalu, CAPS telah menerima banyak aduan dan laporan dari kedua-dua golongan pengguna dan pekedai runcit tempatan berhubung semakin banyaknya kedai runcit yang dibina dan dan dioperasi oleh rakyat asing terutama Pakistan.
