NGOs to take up Sabah’s ‘lost’ cause

A Sabah activist believes it is 'high time'
that focus be given to the 'impossibly
poor' of Sabah and Sarawak.
KOTA KINABALU: Several non-governmental organisations, both national and local, are expected to lodge separate reports on “depressing” human rights issues affecting the people in East Malaysia.
According to the president of newly-founded UK-based Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia (BoPi MaFo), Daniel John Jambun, several NGOs and human rights activists are already in contact with the United Nation’s Commissioner for Human Rights (UNCHR) in Geneva over human rights issues in Sabah and Sarawak.
“While in London recently, I was made to understand that Suaram is also making a representation to UNCHR in Geneva, Switzerland, on human right issues in Sabah and Sarawak,” he told FMT here.
He however declined to name the other groups that he said are also making representations to the UN, adding that it should be known in due time.
