UMNO's monopoly of BN Sabah

Umno should heed Dr M’s advice on seats: SAPP

KOTA KINABALU, Oct 14: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) agree to the remark by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that Umno should not contest more than 50 per cent Sabah parliament and state seats.

Its Vice President, Don Chin in this respect challenged Umno to walk the talk as a show of respect to Sabahans and local based political parties. He also said West Malaysia based political parties should emulate Umno in this respect.

He said local political parties should be allowed to share half of the total parliamentary and state constituency seats.

This is important he said, considering local-based political parties know best the needs of Sabahans.

He was commenting on a statement by president of Upko, Tan Sri Bernard Dompok that Umno should not contest more than 50 per cent of the parliamentary and State seats in election.

“Obviously, local BN component parties are aware that they have lost autonomy on this matter…politicians and the people of Sabah should take this issue seriously,” he said.

Chin said Sabah politics is practically monopolised by West Malaysia-based political parties namely Umno, MCA and Gerakan, while local-based parties only get a few seats among them. “It is ridiculous to let your neighbour manage your family…it does not make sense at all,” he said.

To this, he said the Barisan Nasional (BN) especially Umno should respect Sabah political rights and to restore autonomy to Sabah.

He said the concept is similar to business share where those who have 51 per cent of the total share, have major control of the business.

“So, if both sides share equal proportion in the seats, they enjoy balance in terms of rights and power over the business,” he said.

Chin said Sabahans in general should really think about this issue because it is important to restore autonomy to the state.

    How does SAPP feel if some "old timer" leader said that SAPP should not contest with chairs that also being contested by the opposition party?

    It is only fair to allow other BN components to share the cake . Nothing wrong , right ? However, the candidates should be good enough to stand for the election.

    UMNO indeed should not contest more than 50% Sabah parliament and state seats. Don't be greedy. Enough is enough.

    ＂To this, he said the Barisan Nasional (BN) especially Umno should respect Sabah political rights and to restore autonomy to Sabah.＂

    Would be a great idea to equally share the seats with local parties to enhance politics right and autonomy of Sabah.

    A very good proposal to have fair and equal authority. Honestly, not easy to execute as still needed a "decision'maker" too.

    pemimpin UMNO sabah terdiri daripada orang sabah itu sendiri..seperti datuk masidi..maka mengatakan bahawa hanya parti politik lokal saja yang mengetahui dan memahami keperluan rakyat sabah adalah kurang tepat..sebaliknya hanya orang sabah saja tahu dan faham..jadi keanggotaan dalam sesebuah parti adalah tidak berkaitan..yang penting pemimpin itu adalah orang sabah..

    DAP and UMNO are the same species. Their representatives in Sabah are merely the puppets to their malaya master.

    How can those puppets to fight for Sabah people right and yet they need to kow-dow to their boss from malaya?

    SAPP is simply much better than those puppets from party malaya whom forever dictate by their boss from malaya without pride and dignity!

    Saya memang salute SAPP, tapi lihat reality, be WISE Man! SAPP sdh masuk kategori pembangkang. Tiada salah berkerjasama dgn PR sepert PAS, PKR dan DAP jika betul2 mau tumbangkan BN. Apa SAPP dapat jamin dia boleh menang dan tawan Sabah in the next election? Tidak semudah itu kerana tdk semua rakyat Sabah menyokong atau suka pada SAPP. Sudahlah jika inginkan kejayaan untuk menumbangkan BN, satu saja caranya iaitu bekerjasa. BN bekerjasama antara mereka dan saling bertolak ansur sejak sekian lama. Walaupun kadang2 mereka berselisih pendapat tapi akhirnya dalam soal pilihan raya, mereka sepakat. Itulah sebenarnya rahsia kemenangan BN di samping taktik kotor mereka. Comeon SAPP.Don't be so proud.Bersikap bijaklah dgn sifat tolak ansur. Lihat saja contoh di Batu Sapi, SAPP dan PKR sama2 keras kepala, siapa yg menang? Rakyat menilai kamu dari cara2 kamu bertindak.
