Yong : 3 Bilion untuk banjir, dari mana?

Kota Kinabalu, Selasa, 30 Jun 2020

Ketika saya mengatakan Datuk Shafie harus meletakkan jawatan sebagai Ketua Menteri Sabah sekiranya ingin menjadi Perdana Menteri, Parti Warisannya bertanya adakah saya calon PM yang lebih baik daripada Shafie. Ketika saya mendedahkan bahawa kerajaan Negeri sedang muflis, setiausaha politik Ketua Menteri memanggil saya orang tua. Semasa saya mencabar Datuk V.K. Liew untuk membicarakan tuntutan Sulu Kiram di mahkamah undang-undang Sepanyol pada tahun 2019, kakitangannya memberitahu saya untuk meminta menteri PN yang hanya memegang jawatan pada bulan Mac 2020. Saya harap Warisan akhirnya berhenti memberikan jawapan bodoh terhadap kenyataan saya.

Tun M has no noble intention in making Shafie PM - Dr Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu, June 28, 2020:   "There is no noble intention by Tun Mahathir Mohamad in wanting to make  Shafie Apdal the next Prime Minister and Anwar Ibrahim and Mukhriz Mahathir as Deputy Prime Ministers" said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, President of Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku, in a press statement on the matter.

It stinks of a plot to not only attempting to bring down Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s government but to block Anwar Ibrahim  from becoming PM.

YONG : SEBAGAI CALUN PM, SHAFIE PERLU LETAK JAWATAN CM SABAH SELEWAT-LEWATNYA 12 JULAI

Kota Kinabalu, Ahad, 28 Jun 2020

Datuk Shafie Apdal sebagai Calon Perdana Menteri mempunyai masa sehingga Ahad 12 Julai untuk meletakkan jawatan sebagai Ketua Menteri Sabah kerana cadangan kepada Shafie untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri memenuhi tarikh akhir pada Isnin 13 Julai, ketika Parlimen bersidang.

Sekiranya Shafie berjaya, dia akan menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia ke-9. Dan partinya akan mencalonkan mana-mana pemimpin untuk menjadi CM Sabah. Tetapi jika dia gagal menjadi Perdana Menteri, maka dia tidak lagi boleh memeggang jawatan Ketua Menteri Sabah kerana kerosakan teruk pada kedudukan dan keberkesanannya sebagai Ketua Menteri. Dia harus mengundurkan diri daripada membebankan dirinya dan menjadi liabiliti berat kepada rakyat Sabah.

Kesukaran yang dihadapi oleh Kolej Universiti Yayasan Sabah (KUYS) adalah bibit permulaan dari apa yang akan berlaku seterusnya kepada Kerajaan Sabah sekiranya pentadbiran Sabah pimpinan Warisan ketika ini dibenarkan untuk meneruskan ketidakcekapan dan kebodohan politiknya. KUYS baru sahaja mengumumkan pemotongan gaji dan waktu kerja kerana masalah kewangan.

Another group quits Warisan, says 500 will follow suit

KOTA KINABALU - Some 12 individuals who applied for Warisan membership a year ago called it quits today, saying they were fed up with waiting for official approval.

The group, from four branches in the Kota Belud division, also claimed they would take another 500 people from the party with them when they went.

Speaking at a press conference here, they said Warisan’s membership process was slow, unsystematic and allowed for the practice of favouritism.

Yong: Musa’s suit over CM’s post not academic

A Sabah opposition leader has refuted a state minister’s argument that former chief minister Musa Aman’s civil suit appeal over the right to the chief minister’s post is “academic’’.

In a statement, Yong Teck Lee, himself a former chief minister, also dismissed the notion that Musa’s case would be a long and drawn out process.

He was responding to Sabah Minister of Law and Native Affairs Aidi Moktar’s remarks that Musa’s civil suit was academic as the composition of elected representatives in the state assembly showed that the majority backed Shafie Apdal as chief minister

KOTA KINABALU - The anti-graft agency is believed to be visiting an alleged 2014 land grab case that is still in the process of a court appeal.

Smallholders protest against political interference in case

KOTA KINABALU - The two plaintiffs who obtained an injunction to prevent the transfer of smallholder lands at Lahad Datu Bagahak land scheme have reiterated their firm objection to attempts of the Sabah Government to withdraw their injunctions.
