Don't dwarf our local based parties

Where is the 'Boleh' thinking?


VERY many Sabahans want to see the issue of one to one fight resolved as early as possible, meaning one group of opposition against the group of BN.

In the last general election number of voters voted for opposition individually were more than those voted the ruling government. But number of voters alone doesn’t make a political party or parties form a government; it’s the number of seats that matter.



For example, in one remote DUN constituency may only have 5,000 voters allocated for one Wakil Rakyat, while in urban areas one DUN constituency may have as many as 30,000 voters yet also have one Wakil Rakyat.

It’s dubious system but it’s the business of the government of day to ensure winning on their side. A surely disadvantage for opposition and it’s real. For me grouping such as suggested is the most desirable thing to do.

SAPP leaders subscribed to the idea, all oppositions should team up regardless how the groups are formed.

Very logical, otherwise we will see splinters all over, not only politically messy and strategically stupid; in the end BN reaps the benefit.

This could happen if everyone of them is thinking of their self interest first, in short, pure greedy and selfish. Where possible, one to one would be the focus.

What needed is, genuine, heart to heart sincere cooperation that BN must be toppled. Should be no other hidden and bigger agenda than this.

Next, the very idea in politic is to move forward neither to rewind nor to be obstructive. Everyone has role to play in politic just like any other fields but accusing and condemning our own kind out right in my view is a bad culture. We, Sabahans aren’t used to outrageous politicking, which is now becoming a routine created by peninsular politicians.

From movie of fucking backside, killing, sabotaging and of lately accusing Christian pastors with a few Hindus usurping power when any idiotic Malaysians don’t believe it let alone the sensible ones. Whose work is this?

Do we want this is the kind of politics to take us to the future (…)?

In another observation I still see and hear of the accusation that SAPP is a stooge of BN. Let me put this straight. Which opposition party so far has it members jumped ship to BN? The collapsed of Perak State government is very good example.

SAPP’s message may not have been received clearly for very many reasons as many political parties supporters prone to shout aloud first, thinking only comes second.

For those who been observing SAPP, are its leaders looking for comfort, why becoming a stooge when ones don’t need to be?

SAPP insists that Sabah must be safeguarded in the interests of its generation; we don’t expect much from others after 48 years.

Let see this way again, since the bigger party (national) wants desperately to go to Putrajaya, we support all out but the support must be reciprocated, in other words, not to dwarf the ability of a State based party, any prove that other opposition parties are better than SAPP yet? There is none.

It has been proven State governments like Kelantan, Selangor, Kedah, and Penang can run their own states. Then what wrong with Sabahans?

Far too many people are preoccupied with the thinking and rewinding PBS’s era, but time has changed.

If federal government (assumed federal government is new government) treats Sabah like what it did during PBS 's time, then what’s the point of changing federal government?

Assuming again the present federal government remains and treats Sabah like PBS’s time, will they do? I’m still very confident there are still a few states in Peninsula held by opposition party or parties.

If these were the reasons why some are skeptical that SAPP would come to BN fold?

I’ve already mentioned earlier if others can govern their own states what is lacking with Sabahans?

Federal Government can torture Sabah but they will pay the price when and while the world is watching every second.

Why do we keep on saying it can’t be done? Because of the voice in your ears saying you can’t do it! So you never can do it. Why don’t you reverse it that we‘re just as good as anyone? I don’t need people to think for us otherwise you are forever as you’re.

The present government wants power; therefore they want us to continually stupid. Our naivety is their survival.

I don’t buy that idea that we can’t, if everyone thinks the same they are no Ghandi, Mandela, Picasso, Churchill and De Vinci alike in this world.
