It is not right for the speaker to make political statements, says Chin Su Phin
KOTA KINABALU: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) deputy president Chin Su Phin took to task State Legislative Assembly Speaker Salleh Tun Said for making political statements in the media.
Salleh should learn from Dewan Rakyat Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia and remain neutral, he said when commenting on Salleh’s recent statement in support of Chief Minister Musa Aman.
“Maybe it was not your (Salleh) own decision. If your ‘taiko’ wants to make a political statement, he should look for other leaders because it is inappropriate for the speaker of the state assembly to issue political statement,” said Chin.
On his views on the recent Sarawak state election, Chin said it was his personal observations.
“What’s wrong if I spoke about the reality of the Sarawak state election? he asked.
Chin reiterated that apart from the Chinese community, the Malays, the Kadazandusun community and even certain leaders from Umno and the civil servants were not satisfied with the way Musa has been handling things and problems affecting the BN and the people of Sabah.
“It’s not that I am creating problem within the BN. Today, Umno and its leaders are still our (LDP) good friend… I never complained about Umno. I merely commented on one particular Umno leader who is not accepted by certain quarters.
“They should not forget that even during Pak Lah’s (Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) time as prime minister, some Umno leaders had asked him to step down because of his weakness.
Wake up
During the Sarawak state election, even MCA was asking Abdul Taib Mahmud to step down as chief minister so that the BN would not be adversely affected during the election.
“Today, we see the same problems in Sabah and I don’t see any reason why we should not speak up. We can see that certain leaders are denying the reality and they only want a review after the election about the reason for BN’s loss,” he said in a statement.
Chin recounted that when Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) was in power, the party was as bold in voicing out problems affecting the state and the people.
“As members of the BN coalition, we should solve problems together . But, those leaders with government posts never want to speak up so I would like to advise fellow BN partners to wake up,” he said.
Chin said the Kadazandusun and Murut communities are now giving stronger support to Upko than the PBS, mainly due to the fact that Upko has now become more vocal than ever in speaking up for the people.
On Youth and Sports Minister Peter Pang’s recent accusation that he (Chin) was arrogant, Chin replied: “I don’t want to comment on his personality. Let the people judge him.”
“When Pang was in LDP I never commented about him and after he quit the party, I never commented about him either. If he is so good in politics, he should not have left LDP and crossed over to Gerakan.”
Chin assured fellow partners in the state BN that the LDP will not change its stand and will continue to soldier on until the problems within the coalition are solved.
“As part of the BN coalition, it is our responsibility to bring up whatever problems we have. We do not want Sabah to be the next Sarawak where the BN won in the state election but lost the Chinese seats ,” he said.
“We have a similar problem in Sabah and should the state BN government refuse to accept the changes, the people would go against us and it will be a loss to the BN,” he said.

People is not against BN but some leader.
ReplyDeletePeter Pang is not afraid of Datuk VK Liew, Datuk Chin SP & LDP member. He is afraid of CM. He is not a good leader but is a good follower. Select Peter as one of the party leader last time is a big mistake.
ReplyDeleteLDP, what are you doing in BN? You are neither here nor there...hanging on for what? Better join SAPP en masse and dissolve LDP.
ReplyDeleteMusang Bin Tidak Aman must be very worried now.
ReplyDeleteTiada guna apa yang LDP cakap selagi mereka masih dalam BN.
ReplyDeleteKeluarlah kalau berani.
ReplyDeleteOn which part that LDP did not satisfied? only because they didnt get enough place within the government?cannot wait for the next GM is it??
ReplyDeleteApa2 pun boleh dibawa berbincang.
ReplyDeletesebenarnya Chin su Phin yang menjadi duri dalam daging LDP dan BN.
ReplyDeletejust stop attacking your own members and continue to serve the rakyat.
ReplyDeletesetuju dengan Trashy Saggy...setiap pekara itu boleh dibawa berbincang.
ReplyDeletebukankah lebih baik jika berusaha untuk menyelesaikan sesuatu pekara, daripada asyik bercakap melalui media.
ReplyDeleteLDP memang parti yang bermasalah.. patut dikuarantinkan sebelum menjadi lebih kritikal.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong for them to demand a post/role in the state government when they have actually contribute seats to the BN coalition on last GE12.? Musa is the one that should be blamed for for this problem. He bring private disputes into administration. and now I hope all LDP member will curse this man for what he has done. I can't see any of musa excess. I can only see a corrupt man seating on luxurious Chief Minister chair. It's nothing more.
ReplyDeleteWhat's LDP problem??? Don't like BN, then get out already!
ReplyDeleteI hope they will discuss this matter and settle it in a good way.
ReplyDeleteBeberapa orang penakut yg keluar dr LDP sebelum ini adalah duri dlm daging yg sebenar-sebenarnya. Mereka keluar kerana takut kehilangan sumber 'telaga emas' umno. Mereka takut jika LDP mengambil tindakan drastik dgn keluar dari parti gabungan (BN). Mereka rela utk kehilangan jawatan sekarang dari kehilangan jawatan kemudian. Ini kerana jika mereka bertindak keluar pada saat2 akhir besar kemungkinan mereka tidak akan mendapat apa2 utk menyambung pembayaran banglo2 mewah dan kereta lexus 5.7L yg baru diloan d bank. Projek juta2 juga akan terlepas. walaupun saya bukan penyokong LDP, Saya masih berbangga dgn tindakkan LDP dan pemimpin kanannya mengkritik musa secara terbuka tanpa berselindung. Ia lebih baik dari sering mengampu musa seperti apa yg Salleh Tun Said selalu buat. Ia juga lebih baik dari menjadi 'ular kehilangan bisa' seperti UPKO, PBRS dan PBS terutamanya. orang2 dlm parti2 yg disebutkan ini sudah menjadi 'kerbau dicucuk hidung' dan tidak mampu utk mendongak melihat muka musa yg semakin buas.
ReplyDeleteSebaiknya tidak perlulah samakan KM Sarawak dan KM Sabah. Pasti KM Sabah mempunyai strategi mereka sendiri untuk menghadapi pilihanraya.
ReplyDeleteChin janganlah nampakkan kelemahan sendiri seperti orang yang takut kalah. Sebaiknya Chin mencabar dan memberikan semangat kepada parti mereka sendiri untuk memberikan yang terbaik.
ReplyDeletesebenarnya bukan LDP yng bermasalah, tapi adalah ahlinya.
ReplyDeleteLDP (Chin) sebaiknya berbincang secara baik dengan parti komponen BN yang lain berhubung dengan ketidakpuasan hati yang timbul.
ReplyDeleteantara semua pemimpin2 LDP hanya Chin seorang sahaja yang giat menyerang kepimpinan BN Sabah.. kenapa? beliau terpekik2 seolah2 tersiksa dalam LDP tapi tidak pula mahu keluar. Pang lebih baik dari Chin kerana semasa beliau keluar dari LDP tidak ada pula beliau menyerang habis2an kepimpinan LDP. sebenarnya semua masalah ini bermula dari LDP. oleh itu pemimpin2 merekalah yang patut bertanggungjawab menyelesaikan masalah mereka.
ReplyDeletepenyelesaian yang paling cepat, minta ja Chin keluar dari LDP.. suruh dia jual karipap.. confirm lepas ni dia senyap la tu.. kalau dia bising pun, sekadar bising untuk menjual karipap..
ReplyDeletepemimpin yang suka berbalas2 pantun macam ni tidak patut dilayan.. biarkan sahaja,, lama2 settle juga tu..
Bagi pendapat saya Musa Aman yang KM bermasalah.kalau dia pemimpin yang baik tak kan LDP buat bising.Tak kan minta dia letak jawatan atau di ganti.Saya pun dah bosan dengan Musa Aman ini kerana banyak terlampau cerita tidak senonoh didengar kat dia,dikampung,kedai kopi,dipejabat dan ada juga di kaki lima.Semua orang caci dan benci kat dia.Yang hanya menghidupkan karier nya adalah Pairin yang tidak jemu-jemu tunjuk 'angkat boret' Musa.Kasian kadazandusun kerana 'Huguan Siou'mereka dibawah telunjuk Musa.Hilanglah maruah diri dan maruah bangsa ya!Minta Musa Aman pergi masjid sumpah yang dia bersih daripada segala skandals termasuk rasuah.Kalau dia berani saya sendiri akan sokong dia.
ReplyDeleteKalau sudah tidak sehaluan, baguslah kalau keluar terus.
ReplyDeleteBanyak juga kaki pengampu Musang Bin tidak aman sini. Berapa banyak duit rasuah telah disumbat di mulut anda sampai cakap pun tidak betul?
ReplyDeleteLihat saja populasi Pendatang Haram di Sabah semakin meningkat. Apakah Musang bin tidak aman buat untuk mengatasi masalah ini selepas 8 tahun jadi CM? Rakyat dikena suruh tunggu lagi?
Siapa tidak tahu penduduk Pendatang Haram di Sabah adalah Fixed Deposit untuk umno?
Pendatang Haram UMNO YB sekong Shamsuddin pun boleh jadi YB di Sabah yang lahir di phillipine.
Kenapa Bumiputra kita KDM dan Bajau dalam BN semua diam bila hak2 mereka ditindas oleh Pendatang Haram?
Ya, tapi jangan lupa orang kita sendiri juga suka dengan pendatang haram ini. Salah satu sebabnya adalah income bagi mereka dengan memberi kemudahan rumah sewa kepada pendatang asing. Bolehlah anda berkujung ke penampang ada banyak rumah/bilik sewa yang didiami oleh pendatang haram.
ReplyDeleteLagi satu. apa yang saya lihat orang kita sendiri juga memberi barangan yang dijual oleh mereka terutama rokok...mcm mana mereka boleh survive kalau tidak ada mata pencarian dan disokong oleh rakyat kita sendiri. Jika kerajaan sambil lewa menangani masalah ini marilah kita beramai2 memboikot barangan yang dijual oleh mereka dan juga memencilkan golongan mereka ini.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Falinda, if we don't buy anything from them, then they will not be able to survive here.
