Shallow queries, gang-ups frustrates Jeffrey

Opposition assemblyman Jeffrey Kitingan's takeway from the
first post GE13 assembly sitting was that the DUN had lost
its lustre as a dignified legislative body.
KOTA KINABALU: Bingkor assemblyman Jeffrey Kitingan had the surprise of his life  witnessing the conduct of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting over the last few days.

His takeaway after attending the first sitting under the new Barisan Nasional government following last month’s general election was that the august house had lost its lustre and  failed to rise to expectations of a dignified legislative body.

“STAR NOW BIG PARTY IN SABAH”- Dr. Jeffrey

Star Sabah first anniversary
“STAR is no longer a “mosquito” party but a strong and significant political party in Sabah with a big following” said Datuk Dr.Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR SABAH during STAR Sabah’s first anniversary last weekend.

“Compared to PKR which took six to seven years to get about 60,000 members, STAR has attracted 270,000 members within a short span of 12 months” he said.

“Wake Up Before Its Too Late”- Dr. Jeffrey Tells Sabahans

“Sabahans must wake up to the reality that they stand to lose everything – their country, their independence, their rich resources, their land, their economic opportunities and their cultural heritage – if they continue to remain silent and oblivious to these realities” said Datuk Dr.JeffreyKitingan, Chairman of STAR SABAH at the Launching of STAR’s campaign called “Selamatkan Sabah Tanah Airku” during STAR Sabah’s first anniversary celebration at SM KianKok, Kota Kinabalu on Sunday.

TAMBUNAN : Ketua Parti Reformasi Negeri (STAR) negeri Sabah, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, berkata tahun 2013 merupakan tahun untuk membetulkan kesilapan, perubahan dan pemulihan bagi rakyat Sabah.
“Tahun ini akan menjadi tahun pembetulan, perubahan dan pemulihan bagi kita semua, sebab sudah banyak yang salah perlu diperbetulkan,” katanya sambil meramalkan perubahan besar akan berlaku pada lanskap politik negara.
Jeffrey berkata demikian dalam ucapannya sempena sambutan Krismas dan Tahun Baru beliau yang diadakan di Tambunan Village Resort Centre (TVRC) dekat sini semalam.

Star will work with ‘any’ coalition that wins

By Luke Rintod of FMT
Jeffrey Kitingan has threatened legal action against those
spreading rumours that his party Star is being financed
by Umno to split the opposition vote.
KOTA KINABALU: If politicians and supporters are holding out for a pre-election pact between the State Reform Party (Star) and the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), they best forget it.
Both parties’ words and actions point to it being a lost cause. But leaders on either side are nonetheless keeping alive the ‘line’ that they are working on a deal which opposition supporters in the state and are hopeful of hammering it out in time.
They have been maneuvering for this since the beginning of the year and if nothing else, their periodic shout outs for a deal has proved they are no closer to it since they first indicated they wanted one.

Sabah Umno could lose ‘birthplace’

Iranun, which is considered as Umno’s first ‘child’
in Sabah, may see a tough fight from opposition STAR.
KOTA BELUD: Opposition State Reform Party (STAR) has penetrated Umno’s bastion in the state – the Iranun and Bajau kampungs – which incidentally is the birthplace of Sabah Umno.

STAR’s Sabah chairman, Jeffrey Kitingan, was elated to see about 150 senior citizens and the young who thronged to his ice-breaking “ceramah” at two kampungs here recently.

One session was held in Tempasuk Tamau, an Iranun kampung, not very far from Umno’s Pandikar Amin Mulia’s home. The ceramah was hosted by a local ustaz who recently joined STAR.

STAR: Don’t Play With Words, NCR is Life

“The Chief Minister need to realize that NCR and native lands are life to the natives and too precious and should not play with words to hoodwink the natives” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in response to the Chief Minister’s reply in the State Legislative Assembly on Monday that the government has given priority to native rights.

The government’s ploy in using the State Attorney General and more recently the Lands and Surveys Director to state the government’s policy that NCR did not exist after 1930 has obviously backfired.  The move had incurred the wrath of the natives and reduced substantially the support of the Umno/BN government especially for the local KDM parties, PBS and Upko.

STAR: nothing new in 2012 budget except for election goodies

“There is nothing new about the 2013 State Budget except for a few election goodies” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, on the so-called record RM4,088 billion 2013 Budget.

The amount is more or less similar to the 2012 Budget of RM4.048 billion.  A RM40 million increase is less than 1% and insignificant. Obviously, due to the impending general elections, the state civil servants are the main beneficiaries of the election goodies.

Dr Jeffrey Urges Government to Restore Oil Rights

Jeffrey Kitingan claims the vesting order signed by
then prime minister Abdul Razak on March 26, 1975
granting ownership rights to Petronas is
unlawful, unconstitutional and nvalid.
“The Sabahgovernment need to take immediate actions to restore ownership rights of Sabah’s oil and gas resources as the legal opinion is that the vesting order signed by Tun Abdul Razak on 26 March 1975 granting ownership rights to Petronas is unlawful, unconstitutional and invalid” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah at a press conference regarding proposed legal action on the vesting of Sabah’s oil and gas resources to Petronas.

As a re-collection, Tun Abdul Razak, the then Prime Minister of Malaysia, had on 26 March 1975 signed away Sabah’s oil and gas resources to Petronas by executing the Vesting Order under Section 2(2) of the Petroleum Development Act, 1974 and granted in perpetuity and conveyed to and vested in Petronas the ownership in and the exclusive rights, powers, liberties and privileges of exploring, exploiting, winning and obtaining petroleum whether lying onshore or offshore of Malaysia. 

STAR: PM Should Stop Lying and Fooling Sabahans

“The Prime Minister should stop lying and treating Sabahans as fools by making sweeping statements about Sabah’s rights without checking the facts.  To true Sabahans, the PM is making a fool of himself” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah in response to the PM’s statement that the rights of Sabahans are intact as reported in today’s papers.

Sabah’s rights downgraded to colony and 12th State

“How can the PM say that Sabah’s rights have not been taken away when it is very clear that from its position as an equal partner with Malaya in 1963, Sabah is now downgraded to become the 12th state and its Umno/BNstate leaders subservient to Umno/KL leaders”asked Dr. Jeffrey.

STAR: Stop Imposing and Fooling Sabah, Sarawak

"Stop misleading the people", says Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan regarding
the Independance Day and History of Sabah and Sarawak during the
launching of Star Kundasang Zon Tengah in Kg. Pinampadan, Kundasang
“Malaya (in the name of the Federal Government) should stop imposing its will on the people of Sabah and Sarawak and fooling them to celebrate Malayan independence 55 years ago and calling it Malaysian independence” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah in his launching speech at the launching of Star Kundasang Zon Tengah in Pinampadan, Kundasang on Saturday.

“How could these leaders continue to twist history to suit their political interests without consideration of our feelings and the truth?”

STAR: Golden Opportunity for Sabah/Sarawak to Demand New Oil Deal

Sabah STAR's chairman, Dr Jeffrey Kitingan
“The Sabah government should take this golden opportunity to demand and sign a new and better oil agreement with Petronas and the federal government” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah in response to the statement given by the Chief Minister that the State’s 5% petroleum royalty review issue is open for amicable discussions with the federal government.

“If the Chief Minister is truly a Sabahan at heart, this is the most opportune time to not only seek a review but to demand and negotiate a new deal for Sabah’s oil and gas resources for the benefit of Sabah and its future.  It cannot be denied that any increase in the oil revenue including the offer of 20% by Pakatan Rakyat is definitely for the benefit of Sabah and Sabahans” added Dr. Jeffrey.

Theold oil agreement is nearly 4 decades old and a new oil deal is certainly needed for the future of Sabah.   The so-called review will also test the sincerity of the federal government and the Sabah leaders as well as the extent of the federal-state relationship.
