Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Yong Teck Lee said he was surprised by the harsh way DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang attacked SAPP.
“As a matter of fact, Sabah DAP chief Jimmy Wong Sze Phin had called and SMSed to invite me to the DAP Kaamatan (harvest festival) celebration (yesterday). In reciprocating, I invited Wong as a guest to my house and we had a nice chat on politics.
"We agreed that it was important that we build mutual confidence between SAPP and DAP, to meet Lim Kit Siang at the DAP harvest festival and exhibit goodwill so that the future relationship between SAPP and DAP can be improved," he said in a statement in Kota Kinabalu today.
Yong, a former Sabah chief minister, said as a guest at the DAP function, he did not expect to be issued a public ultimatum by Kit Siang in a harsh manner that put him and his colleagues in an embarrassing situation and their party ridiculed in public.
"Lim caught all of us by surprise by his harsh tone, the abrasive way in pinpointing me by name and ridiculing SAPP.
"My immediate feeling was that, after their super victories in the April Sarawak state elections, Lim Kit Siang's DAP has already become super confident of taking over Putrajaya and the Sabah state government at the coming general elections,” said Yong in an immediate reaction to Lim's speech in which the DAP supremo had issued an ultimatum for SAPP to join Pakatan Rakyat on the grounds that "only Pakatan can beat BN".
Yong said he wondered if it was because Lim now felt that DAP did not need anybody else, as Pakatan alone could beat the BN, then why the need to demand SAPP to join Pakatan.
What happened to Pakatan-plus proposal?
The SAPP president recalled that at the DAP rally on September 16, 2008 at Kian Kok School in Kota Kinabalu, Lim had called for a Pakatan-plus coalition with SAPP.
"This means that SAPP need not be a member of the fledgling Pakatan," he said.
Yong had also spoken at that '916' DAP rally which took place a day before SAPP left the BN.
“Has Lim now unilaterally dropped his own Pakatan-plus formula?” asked Yong.
However, Yong said he still remained hopeful that SAPP's relationship with PKR, DAP and PAS could improve further before the general elections.
“I only hope that the super confidence of DAP leaders will subside in the coming months and realise that their promise of 416 (April 16) change of Sarawak government failed miserably because the '416 change' turned into a '416' Taib victory," he added.

The malayan people really need to learn how to respect the local people when they come to Sabah. If the party malaya leader like lim kit siang still practice the master and slave mentality like umno towards the Sabahans, I can foresee DAP Sabah can close shop soon. GET LOST!
ReplyDeleteJust wait and see!
The Malayan people always think their are taiko! and so lin Ci!
ReplyDeleteBetul ka tidak o, itu cakap YTL boleh percaya kah??? Sila buktikan cakap LKS tu....
ReplyDeleteApa lagi mahu minta bukti, LKS sebut semua itu dalam ucapannya di DAP Kaamatan pada 27hb May Putera theatre bukit padang.
ReplyDeleteSemua ini adalah salah tafsiran dengan ucapan LKS.Apa LKS maksud kan ialah dengan kemasukan SAPP dalam Pakatan maka Pakatan bolih mengalahkan BN.
ReplyDeletejangan tembirang lagi lah lim kit siang. kepala otak kau lah, tahu saja guna pesta perayaan ini hanya untuk politik. Belajar dulu bagaimana nak hormat kebudayaan orang tempatan. jangan bawa budaya samseng dari semenanjung ke sabah tanah airku.
ReplyDeletekepala otak kau lah pakatan boleh menang bn tanpa kerjasama parti tempatan. Kenapa pakatan sabah hanya dapat menang satu kerusi di pru12? Inilah perangai sombong dan samseng. bermimpi di siang hari.
ReplyDeleteThe reason dap in sabah especially is rarely after bn. They are more inclined to attack sapp viz a viz the previous by election. These people are neither trustworthy nor sincere.
ReplyDeleteDap is trying to use us Sabahans to further their ambition for Putrajaya..what difference does it make if such arrogance was shown by Lim Kit Siang to ridicule Sabah local leaders.
ReplyDeleteHe may be getting old not remembering his previous statements which conflicted totally with his recent one.
Can we trust people like him?
mana.... yang saya nampak SAPP yang sombong dan mau attack DAP, ini SAPP mau kasi pecah undi saja, kalau betul betul demi rakyat sabah, apa susah mau kerja sama pakatan rakyat....Pakatan Rakyat sama SAPP mesti mau kerja sama baru boleh hancur itu BN.
ReplyDeleteDAP sangat angkuh dan sombong. Perasan. mudah-mudahan Sabah terselamat dari malaya tak kira UMNO atau DAp ataupun PKR...
ReplyDeleteYong harus terus cekal dan berani. Lawan tetap lawan
ReplyDeleteButul ito..pecah..sj SAPP pandai macam dulu dgn PBS masa dlm BN.
ReplyDeleteSiapa itu? Nama dia sepeical bah...'du lie..ma rie sini' hahaha.
Rakyat Sabah tipis harapan jgn harap semua ini.
Baru Kaamatan belum habis sudah bunuh sindiri.
Lagi apa ko cerita tak bulih cakap politik?Semua hadir mlm itu parti-parti politik bah!
Ya dia mau syok sendiri ambil semua lawan semua bah!
ReplyDeleteLKS is here and visited Kg KB and fcuk up UMNO and local MP.
ReplyDeleteMany sabahans cannot 'tahan' but then how often you see SAPP YTL fcuk loud on UMNO Sabah or those not doing job well?
He has nice smile and never even jump high except his few little ones....hahaha!
Mungkin Yong tak tahan melihat'kaca mata hitam' yang dipakai Lim Kit Siang.
ReplyDeleteKasihan org tua ni dah lama berpolitik juga menulis blogs politik sampai umur 70 pun terus berjuang.
Kalau tokoh politik diSabah atau Yong umur begitu sudah pecen lama!
SAPP pecah undi? Sabah PR satu lawan satu sama BN di Sabah pun kalah dan hampir makan TELUR BUSUK? Masih mabuk kah kaki pengampu malaya disini?
ReplyDeleteLim kit sial datang sabah talk cock sing song lah. lepas itu apa dia peduli?
ReplyDeleteSAPP hampir setiap hari serang BN di suratkhabar. Kamu buta kah?
Muka Lim KS macam kena tumbuk matanya ka?
ReplyDeleteada komen2 lansung tidak kita tidak faham.Orang pr kah...macam orng lali saja ...mahu ckap tapi macam babou....hahahaha...otak kera.
ReplyDeletePatut serang UMNO/BN bukan LKS.Salah jalan kah?
ReplyDeleteBukan salah jalan LKS ini kurang ajar....dia fikir orang Sabah masih diabd zaman batu bah. Pemimpin sebigini patut orang Sabah ajar termasuklah yang kuat ampuh di Sabah ini....yang semata2 gila jadi YB saja. Biar jual sabah asal dapat jawatan.
ReplyDeletePada pandangan saya Pakatan di Sabah patutnya guna satu simbol ja semasa election... itupun kalau minat mahu kasi tumbang itu dacing la.... selagi perkara asas ni belum dipenuhi SAPP ka, DAP ka, Adil ka, PAS ka, Momogun ka, Parti Kunci ka. jangan mimpi boleh menang Negeri..ini lambang macam-macam bikin pening rakyat ja tengok... dahlah manifesto macam-macam ada..
ReplyDeleteLKS patut serang Umno BN tapi SAPP pula, adakah dia buta kah?
ReplyDeleteKami di Sabah harus mempertahankan parti politik tempatan seperti SAPP dan menghalau politik import dari semenanjung termasuk DAP dan Umno. Kedua-dua parti ini parti racist...sama stail tapi kulit lain.
ReplyDeleteSAPP supported the DAP function by buying a table for RM5,000.00 to be ridiculed by Lim Kit Siang.
ReplyDeleteWhat more we can say about DAP's ungratefulness and extreme arrogance.
Yong boleh masuk penjara kerana korupsi
ReplyDeleteHow did DAP attacked SAPP?
ReplyDeleteI wondering how sincere DAP wiling to help Sabah.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Lim can be that harsh..
ReplyDeleteI think SAPP should rethink to build relationship with DAP. Don't think DAP is that sincere..
ReplyDeleteBiarlah apa Lim mau cakap yang penting kita aman damai dan teruskan usaha untuk membangun.
ReplyDeleteSAPP dan DAP sama2 tidak stabil. Hanya pandai cakap tanpa ada action.
ReplyDeletekalau tidak sefahaman tidak perlulah bekerjasama.
ReplyDeleteSAPP dan DAP, keduanya tidak disokong rakyat Sabah.
ReplyDeleteBelajarlah bagaimana terima kritikan.
ReplyDeletebagus la masing2 ada pendirian.. sama2 pembangkang tidak semestinya bersatu ba.. kalau ada yang tidak kena, serang terussss...
ReplyDeleteApa sebenarnya rancangan DAP dan SAPP?
