Free Sabah from Malaya’s Domination and Occupation

Kota Kinabalu:    “The formation of Malaysia as a partnership through the merger of 4 sovereign entities is meaningless if Sabah continues to be occupied and dominated by the over-presence of Malayan government officers and federal government agencies” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of BHF in his Malaysia Day message at the Batu Sumpah, Keningau.

Allah Is For All A Sabah Perspective

I. Introduction

Religion has never been an issue in Sabah until recently. So, is the word “Allah” for God. It is not an issue.

Religion is between God and the individual. It is a personal thing; a personal choice. Many families in Sabah have family members professing different religion and religious belief; even in my family, we have Christians, Muslims and Buddhists. There is no problem because we respect each other's beliefs.

What’s going on Musa?

Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman has come under fire for his
baffling move to bar opposition leaders and former Bar
Council president S Ambiga from Sabah.
TAWAU: Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman must clarify a leaked document from the Immigration Department that lists political and NGO leaders from the peninsula who are banned from entering the state.

According to the document dated May 21 from the Chief Minister’s Department to the Sabah Immigration Department, the leaders banned are Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang, Nurul Izzah Anwar, Rafizi Ramli and S Ambiga.

Kota Kinabalu MP Jimmy Wong, who is also Sabah DAP chairman, said the decision to bar these people appears to have been made by the Sabah state cabinet during a meeting on May 15.

Sabah Entitled to Receive 40% of Net Revenue Collected from Sabah - Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu: “Sabah is entitled to receive 40% of the net revenue collected from Sabah and the Federal and State governments should start working out the arrangements for these much needed funds to be remitted back to Sabah and not treat Sabah’s revenues asMalaya’srevenues”said DatukDr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, when asked to comment on the RM38 billion federal tax collection by the Inland Revenue Board from Sabah in 2012 with another RM40 billion targeted for 2013.

Unite under UBA to Safeguard Borneo Rights - Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu: “The people and political parties of Sabah and Sarawak should unite under a single umbrella to safeguard Borneo rights and secure their future under the Federation of Malaysia”said DatukDr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in response to the various opinions on opposition unity in Sabah.

Ever since the formation of Malaysia in 1963 and the ejection of Singapore from the Federation in 1965, the position of Sabah and Sarawak has been eroded and rights taken away through a series of subtle and not-so-subtle manipulations by the Federation of Malaya and their political leaders in Kuala Lumpur.

WISHING ALL SABAHANS A MEMORABLE INDEPENDENCE DAY ON 31 AUGUST (NOT THE OTHER MERDEKA DAY!)

By Anonymous
If there is anything to commemorate it is the short 16 bitter sweet days of real freedom.

Sabah since 1761 (when Dalrymple got it as trading post from the Brunei Sultanate) has basically been traded like a piece of real estate by Brunei, the Dutch, Spanish, USA, Austrians, Britain and then Malaya. (The latest trade off were the 2 blocks of offshore oilfields for Brunei dropping its claim on Limbang).

If we were to take 1865 (leased by the USA) as the starting point of the foreign colonization of North Borneo/Sabah, the poor country is still a colony after nearly 150 years!

Inaugural political debate resonates with Sabahans

By Luke Rintod of FMT
PENAMPANG: Sabahans here heard their first ever political debate between opposing politicians in Sabah last night and returned home satisfied at the standards set by speakers Jeffrey Kitingan from the State Reform Party (STAR) and DAP’s Dr Edwin Bosi.

Dubbed the ‘great debate’, it was organised by the newly formed NGO Democracy Sabah or Desah, headed by former Suhakam vice-chairman Simon Sipaun.


Demokrasi Sabah needs the right debate format

By Joe Fernandez
The initial word from Demokrasi Sabah (Desah), an NGO just set up by former Sabah state secretary Simon Sipaun to encourage one-to-one contests at the forthcoming 13th General Election, has not been too encouraging.

For starters, there’s the little matter of the NGO declaring that it wants to help further strengthen and entrench a two-party system in Malaysia. These two parties, or rather coalitions and/or alliances, i.e. Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and Barisan Nasional (BN) are both Peninsular Malaysia-based.
