Hiew acting against opposition's interest

THE spat among the local leaders, especially between SAPP and DAP, don't go down well with voters and potential voters of opposition parties.

Why must a problem be created unnecessarily, which could be resolved easily?

If the idea is to score political mileage, it isn't worth even thinking because people actually hate it. The only group that benefits out of this is the BN.

Local DAP leaders are prone to sparking hatred which eventually lead to unnecessary strain on other fellow opposition leaders.

Politicians like us have different views of looking at politics and want as far as possible to align from this old designed mentality that only they can do politicking. We want something more forward looking to pursue people and State's interests.

There is a need to plant new initiative among the younger leaders if we want to see real democracy in Malaysia and in Sabah exist in the future. I'm expecting all opposition political parties to cooperate. All should wrap their quarrel and let the general election be done with, or else get out of politics.

This coming general election is significant and crucial to people in Sabah in particular the mental aspect If we can't make political difference via ballot boxes this time, one can forget for sometime but be prepared for the worst.

The present opposition leaders must put aside any differences and let consolidate energy against the BN Government.

I don't think Hiew King Cheu is representing the rest of DAP in Sabah, nor the national leaders' views.

Pakatan leader Anwar Ibrahim had made the statement very clear with regards to the likely status of collaboration between Pakatan and SAPP in this coming GE

Let me give my view bluntly, in Sabah no matter how strong DAP is, assuming SAPP takes all Chinese seat (7) DAP will never ever able to form a State govemment by itself. Thus rhetoric of this kind is just childish game.

In Sabah, the need for cooperation among all opposition parties is real. No group is more important or less important If the opposition wants to form a State Govemment they have to subscribe to the idea of cooperation. Otherwise all works over the years would soon vanish in thin air.

I’m not defending Yong Teck Lee' past (SAPP President) but I would state my view where needed. I'm defending my party, SAPP. There are plenty, of emerging good leaders in SAPP who work day and night with clear conscience whose political struggle is for the good of the Rakyat and the State.

And mind you, we do it willingly, sacrifice our soul and almost everything else after all the hardship and "tortured" we endured by BN bullying game. Opposition members aren't even allowed to use the Balai Raya when those facilities are meant for all Rakyat who paid taxes and levies to the Government.

DAP will never get en routed into rural Bumiputra Sabah, I bet not a seat! Let alone in Muslim areas. As of now no other opposition party can match SAPP in term of their preparedness going into deep remote kampungs. All too often the peninsula political parties did was, make a loud bang! And off they go while SAPP is here to stay.

Our leaders are not only Sabahans but also represent cross section of local ethnics, many of them are new and unheard before unlike "seasoned and retarded politicians". It's worth recruiting new ones if we want change to take place; SAPP has always been exploring quality leadership.
