10 reasons why we must vote in GE 13


We are into the final lap of what must be the most hotly contested general elections in our nation’s 56-year history and one that many would consider to be a pivotal one.

To many, the contest is between the incumbent ruling coalition, the Barisan Nasional (BN) and the opposition coalition of Pakatan Rakyat (PR). To some the choice is between Najib and Anwar whilst to others it is between maintaining the status quo or change.

But I want to put it to you that this election is not about BN or PR. Why? For usually in any contest, the winner is the one with the better skills, strategy, funds and luck even. But in an election, the winner or loser is decided not by the contending parties but by the audience or in this case the voters.

We need many more museums in Sabah

Kudos to the Sabah Muzeum for launching the Keningau for having launched the new museum building in Keningau to exhibit Keningau history and culture. In fact it has been long overdue, knowing that the Keningau district is replete with important history and cultural heritage. It would have been right for such a museum to have been established there since the beginning of independence but as I know it the museum has always been considered a low priority, and never given substantial allocation for the state budget to do all its necessary work, especially in the area of documentary and archaeological research. There had not been enough emphasis on documentation and research in Sabah and this should be addressed immediately, especially by the political leaders.
 

Foreigners With Malaysian Passports - First Hand Experience In Klia

Dear Editor,
 
I appreciate your effort in disseminating information to your close friends. I would like to provide you with my “first hand” experience at KLIA yesterday.
 
I returned from Hong Kong on flight MH 073 on 17th July 2012 which landed in KLIA at about 6.15pm. Disembarkation and baggage clearance was prompt with no hassles.
 
When I arrived at the Immigration “autogate” there was a queue. There was no officer in the immigration booth manning the gates.
 

Pre-Election Observations

By Tuhun Tavakas
Recently in Kota Kinabalu, Datuk Seri Anwar officiated a forum on Native Customary    Rights (NCR) issues and protection of Native Religious Rights in Sabah. Braving  extreme weather conditions late but safe, Datuk Seri Anwar managed to close the forum with an applause. As a seasoned and well versed Election Observer I attended under the auspices of our humble NGO to hear and to see the amount of interest the forum captured. Datuk Seri tactfully delivered key notes on religion and the protection of the religious rights of the Native Christians in Sabah, an issue that until today Peninsular Politicians will not and can not fathom its uniqueness that Bumiputras in Sabah are Christians. These native rights as enshrined under the 20 point Sabah Constitution that are being silently and quickly eroded. To the thumping rounds of cheers in support of  Datuk Seri Anwar’s undertaking that the state’s unique constitution will be protected and reinstated has sparked immense hope especially from the Native Kadazan Dusun Murut Community (KDM) of its preservation.

Civil Litigation: Sabah phenomenon

Letter To The Editor

Dear Sir,

Not a day goes by without the newspapers in Sabah carrying pictures of grinning lawyers standing next to their Clients.

This is a scam by lawyers who “lose” 90 per cent of their cases except where they are photographed grinning ear to ear outside the courthouse with their Clients.

Chilling Report From Brussels

Hope all is well down in Borneo.
 
I have just read the entire Geert Wilders speech and I must admit his account of the islam migration related events in Europe is no news for me, it is merely a summary of what we all experience every day. It is 100% correct that non Muslim women are insulted regularly by them, the local women being called whores or harrassed on the streets. In some towns in northern Europe blonde women dye their hair black so they are not too conspicuous when being noticed by muslims.
