‘Hundreds’ of Kimanis Umno members want Anifah replaced
KOTA KINABALU: In what appears to be an open confrontation for change, ‘hundreds of Umno members’ in P. 176 Kimanis are demanding that a new candidate be allowed to contest in place of Datuk Anifah Aman to represent the P. 176 Kimanis constitutency in the next general election.
In an interview here yesterday, leaders of the group which are mobilising what they call a Leadership Transformation Movement, said they are demanding for this change because Anifah, who is Malaysia’s current Foreign Minister has been in the Member of Parliament for the area too long and it is time to replace him. So far three demonstrations to voice out this demand had been held, the first in Dewan Kg. Pimping on January 21, 2012, the second in Dewan Lama Pekan Bongawan on the following day, and the third for two days on January 23 to 24 in Dindong, Kg. Bambangan, Membakut.
En. Ag. Kamis Ag. Ahmad (left), who is a member of the division’s Youth Wing and was the organising chairman of the first demonstration in Pimping, said the attendance was about 500 people, while En. Ag. Mohd. Rizam who chaired the organising committee for the Pekan Bongawan demonstration claimed the attendance was more than 700 people. The third demonstration, according to organiser En. Asno Amat Muda, was attended by about 300 Umno members. All demo participants signed registration books.
Asked as to why the demand for change, Ag. Mohd. Rizam said that Anifah has been the MP for Kimanis for too many terms. “He has represented Kimanis for four terms now,” he said. “Before he was the MP for Kimanis beginning in 2004, he was the MP for Beaufort, which then included Kimanis, beginning in 1999.”
“Our main reason for demanding that he be replaced is the fact that he is not from Kimanis,” Rizam (right) added. “It is long overdue for someone from Kimanis itself to represent this area. The arrangement whereby a constituency is represented by an outsider is outdated and should no longer be practiced by Umno. It is also an insult to the people of Kimanis as if Kimanis doesn’t have anyone qualified to be its own MP.”
Asno from Bambangan, who a member of the Kimanis Umno Divisional Committee, said that it is not in line with the Prime Minister’s 1Malaysia policy to continue with an outsider as their MP. “The 1Malaysia slogan specifically says that it’s ‘people first’, so in this case Umno must listen to what the people of Kimanis want. We demand that our MP be from our own area.”
Kimanis is a Bruneian majority area (about 58 percent), with the second biggest being the Kadazandusuns which comprise about 38 percent of voters, while the rest are Chinese and others. “We are not very particular about what racial identity our next MP will be as long as he or she is from Kimanis,” Asno added. Anifah, who is also the brother of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, is from Bingkul, Beaufort.
The three organisers said that to show the seriousness of the voters in Kimanis about their demand, the series of demonstrations will continue. Asno said that more demonstrations will be held soon, the next ones to be in Kg. Binsuluk, Kg. Madang Pimping, Kg. Biau, Bongawan, and in Kg. Poring which will also be participated by people from nearby Kg. Paung, Kg. Tamalang, and Kg. Pinopok.

Krisis dalam Umno Kimanis, lebih banyak demo akan dianjur
‘Beratus-ratus’ ahli Umno Kimanis mahu Anifah dfitukar
KOTA KINABALU: Dalam apa yang nampaknya satu tuntutan terbuka untuk mendapat perubahan, ‘beratus-ratus’ ahli Umno di P. 176 Kimanis sedang menuntut agar seorang calon baru ditandingkan mengganti tempat Datuk Anifah Aman bagi menjadi wakil kawasan itu dalam pilihanraya akan datang.
Dalam satu interbiu di sini, para pemimpin kumpulan yang menggerakkan apa yang mereka panggil Gerakan Transformasi Kepimpinan, berkata mereka menuntut perubahan ini kerana Anifah, yang juga Menteri Luar Malaysia, sudah terlalu lama menjadi Ahli Parliamen kawasan Kimanis, dan sudah sampai masanya beliau diganti. Mereka memaklumkan sudah tiga demonstrasi telah dianjurkan untuk menyuarakan tuntutan ini, pertama di Dewan Kg. Pimping pada 21hb Januari yang lalu, yang kedua di Dewan Lama Pekan Bongawan di hari berikutnya, dan yang ketiga selama dua hari pada 23 – 24 Januari di Dindong, Kg. Bambangan, Membakut.
En. Ag. Kamis Ag. Ahmad, yang menjadi ahli Pemuda bahagian, dan telah mempengerusikan penganjuran demonstrasi pertama di Pimping berkata kehadiran adalah sekitar 500 orang, sementara En. Ag. Mohd. Rizam yang mengetuai penganjuran bagi demonstrasi di Pekan Bongawan berkata lebih kurang 700 orang telah menghadiri. Demonstrasi ketifa , mengikut ketua penganjur, En. Asno amat Muda, telah dihadiri oleh lebih kurang 300 ahli Umno. Semua peseerta demonstrasi telah menandatangani buku pendaftaran.
Apabila ditanya kenapa tuntutan untuk perubahan ini dibuat, Rizam berkata Anifah sudah terlalu lama menjadi Ahli Parlimen Kimanis dan sudah sampai masa beliau diganti. “Beliau telah mewakili Kimanis selama empat penggal,” katanya. “Sebelum beliau menjadi Ahli Parlimen Kimanis bermula di tahun 2004, beliau telah menjadi ahli Parlimen Beaufort, yang ketika itu merangkumi Kimanis, bermula tahun 1999.”
“Sebab utama kami menuntut agar Datuk Anifah diganti ialah kerana dia bukan dari Kimanis,” tambah Rizam. “Sudah sampai masanya bagi seorang rakyat Kimanis sendiri mewakili kawasan kami. Cara di mana satu kawasan pilihanraya diwakili oleh orang luar sudah ketinggalan dan sepatutnya tidak lagi harus diamalkan oleh Umno. Cara ini adalah satu penghinaan bagi rakyat Kimanis, seolah-olah Kimanis tidak mempunyai seorang pun yang layak menjadi ahli Parlimen kami sendiri.”
Asno dari Bambangan yang juga AJK Bahagian Umno Kimanis, berkata ini semua tidak sejajar dengan dasar 1Malaysia yang dipelopori oleh Perdana Menteri kita. Slogan 1Malaysia dengan jelas mengatakan ‘rakyat didahulukan’, maka dalam hal ini Umno harus mendengar apa yang dikehendaki oleh rakyat Kimanis. Kami menuntut seorang Ahli Parlimen yang datang dari kawasan kami sendiri.”
Kimanis adalah kawasan majoriti pengundi Brunei (lebih kurang 58 peratus), dengan kumpulan kedua terbesar adalah pengundi Kadazandusun (38 peratus) dan yang lain orang-orang China dan lain-lain kaum. “Kami tidak cerewet apa identiti kaum Ahli Parliamen kami asalkan dia berasal dari Kimanis.” Asno menambah. Anifah, yang juga adik kepada Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Musa Aman, adalah berasal dari Bingkul, Beaufort.
Tiga ketua penganjur itu berkata bahawa untuk menunjukkan betapa serius mereka tentang tuntutan para pengundi Kimanis, siri demonstrasi tersebut akan diteruskan. Asno mengesahkan banyak lagi demonstrasi akan diadalah dalam masa terdekat, dan yang akan diadakan sejurtus selepas ini ialah di Kg. Binsuluk, Kg. Madang Pimping, Kg. Biau, Bongawan, dan di Kg. Poring yang juga akan disertai oleh rakyat dari Kg. Paung, Kg. Tamalang, Kg. Pinopok yang berdekatan.
Berunai pertama dan Dusun kedua.Bererti tiada Bengali Bingkul.BRAVO orang orang Berunai dan Dusun.TAHNIAH DAN SYABAS.
ReplyDeleteKIMANIS kamu punya bukan MUSA aman.
Betui...betui... sia shokong!!...
DeleteBerunai dan Dusun sama saja,dulu-dulu sebelum British orang Dusun masuk islam jadi Berunai! tu pasal ada Dusun di Berunai ada, Tu Anifah Aman (Satu Mama dgn Ayub Aman) keturunan Bangeladesh plus Murut Tongod + Dusun Gana Bingkor (Gunsanad)-Musa Aman (lain Mama-Bangeladesh + Tausug + Orang Sungai) !
ReplyDeleteDiharapkan calon yang terbaik akan dilantik untuk bertanding pada PRU-13 supaya rakyat boleh mendapat pemimpin yang lebih sesuai untuk kawasan mereka.
ReplyDeletedari mana dia berasal bukan masalah, yang pasti dia adalah rakyat Sabah. lebh penting adalah bagaimana kepimpinannya.
DeleteThis matter has its own pros and cons.
DeleteHarap calon yang bakal dipilih nanti bukan seorang yang penting diri sendiri.
DeleteBN akan mencalonkan calon yang boleh menang...jadi siapa yang akan bakal dicalonkan bagi parlimen kimanis?

ReplyDeleteThe opportunity should be fair.

DeleteKimanis district status next year
ReplyDeletePublished on: Friday, September 02, 2011, Daily Express
Keningau: Malaysia will be conducting the Asean Peace Forum next year to attract more tourists and corporate members from China, Taiwan, UK and United States to visit the country.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said the delegations would also visit the interior.
During a meeting with US President Barrack Obama, he said the latter commended the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak despite the diversity in race and religion in Malaysia.
On another issue, Anifah said Kimanis would become a district next year complete with its own District Office.
On other developments, Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun hoped the people, especially the Chinese community, would help the Government attract domestic and foreign tourists, especially from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, to visit Sabah.
This is because after the earthquake-tsunami disaster in Japan, tourists visiting Malaysia from the "Land of the Rising Sun" have significantly decreased, he said.
To this, Upper Interior Tourism Operators Association Chairman, Frankie Tamin, suggested that the World War II Memorial here be upgraded.
Such memorial is a major attraction among the tourists, he said.
Masidi, who agreed to the proposal, urged the Keningau District Officer to submit an official letter to him regarding the matter.
Meanwhile, Anifah advised Sabah MCA to remain united and to assist the Government win the coming general election.
anifah doing his jobs well as kimanis MP...
Deletesetakat ini dilihat Anifah melaksanakan tugas dengan baik..
DeleteKimanis Petroleum Training Centre to offer Sabahans career in oil & gas sector
ReplyDeletePosted on October 10, 2011, Monday, borneo post
MEMBAKUT, Sabah: The Kimanis Petroleum Training Centre, operated by Petronas, here will offer career opportunities for Sabahans in the state’s oil and gas sector.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said the training centre can cater for 50 trainees at any one time and that the involvement of Sabahans was crucial in developing the oil and gas sector, especially the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT) in Kimanis which would be fully operational in 2013.
“Rapid development of Sabah’s oil and gas sector can only be ensured if it is supported by skilled and knowledge workforce.
“As such, training programmes conducted at the centre would serve to meet the human capital requirements of this industry,” he said when officiating the training centre’s temporary campus here yesterday.
The text of his speech was read on his behalf, by Anifah’s political secretary Datuk Norhaidi Che Dan.
Anifah, who is also Kimanis Member of Parliament, said Sabahans must realise that the opportunities provided by Petronas should be used wisely to develop their own state and simultaneously improve their socio-economic standing.
He said more than 4,000 employees were required to operate the SOGT which was expected to have a positive impact on the economic well-being of the community.
Meanwhile, Vice-President Petronas Petroleum Management Ramlan A Malek said Petronas was already providing training to Sabah youths in the oil and gas sector while waiting for the permanent campus to be ready in 2013.
A total of 25 youths have become the first batch of trainees to undergo a two-year Industry Control and Instrumentation programme at the training centre since June.

jika semua perancangan berjalan lancar..kimanis akan menjadi leih membangun pada masa akan datang.
DeleteSekiranya ada wakil UmnoBN yang layak tentu akan dicalonkan pada PRU13, yang pasti dia adalah winnable candidate.
ReplyDeleteBN sentiasa menjadi pilihan rakyat.Pembangkang tidak akan dapat peluang.
DeleteItu yang pasti..Pembangkang tidak perlulah cuba untuk memberikan khabar angin dan cuba untuk menipu penduduk Sabah.
DeleteCalon yang di pilih haruslah seorang yang betul2 bertanggungjawab dan mementingkan rakyat.
ReplyDeleteBetul tu, jangan hanya pandai berjanji saja, harus uatamakan rakyat.
ReplyDeleteCalon seperti Datuk Anifah Aman adalah calon yang terbaik setakat ini untuk kawasan tersebut.
ReplyDeleteJika kita lihat pun Datuk Anifah Aman benar-benar cuba untuk membantu rakyat. Mungkin calon seperti dia ini susah untuk kita temui.
ReplyDeleteanifah berusaha membantu membangunkan kimanis..kalau ditukarkan, adakah usaha anifah ini akan dapat diteruskan?
DeleteSamanda,
ReplyDeleteKau bukan hakim besar yang boleh menjatuhkan ketetapan tentang kelayakan si Anifah!
Pertama, Anifah bukan orang Kimanis,
Kedua, dia sudah 20 tahun di Kimanis tapi tahun depan baru jadi daerah kecil itu Kimanis!
Mungkin kalau orang kimanis yang wakil MP di sana, Kimanis sudah jauh lebih maju.
Sudahlah, Musa pun ke Sandakan, kenapa tidak di Beaufort? Yg pasti pengundi Musa adalah PATAI Bugis dan Pilak.
Samanda takut hilang jawatan ke?
Macam mana kamu tahu kalau MP Kimanis jadi wakil, Kimanis pasti boleh bertambah maju? Kamu pandai tilik?
Deletekita tunggu dan lihat siapa yang akan dicalonkan di kimanis..
ReplyDeletehopefully the demonstration will bring a change..
ReplyDeleteberdemo bukanlah budaya kita..jangan jadikan demo sebagai budaya kita..sebarang pekara boleh disuarakan melalui perbincangan..
ReplyDeleteBetul tu, demo bukanlah budaya kita dan ia bukan cara yang terbaik untuk menyelesaikan masalah.
DeleteLet’s hope the best candidate will be appointed.
ReplyDeleteWe desire better leaders for the people of Sabah and their areas.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is the opportunities available should be fair amongst others.
ReplyDeleteThe voice of the people should be heard and taken into action.
ReplyDeleteHopefully there will be a change and the needs of the people will be provided.
ReplyDeletePastikan calon yang betul berkelayakan yang akan dipilih.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Anifah Aman to represent the P. 176 Kimanis constitutency in the next general election.
ReplyDeleteRasa-rasa Datuk Anifah betul menambat hati penduduk Kimanis yang sanggup menyokong beliau secara berterusan. Pasti ada keunikan beliau.
Anifah will stay.
ReplyDeleteAda wujud ketidaksefahaman di sini.
ReplyDeleteThe worry should pass.Everything will be fine.
ReplyDeleteMungkin ini saja gimik dari pihak2 tertentu untuk meraih perhatian.
ReplyDeleteWishing you good luck Anifah.
ReplyDeleteIt's up to the party on who they planned to appoint as candidate during the next GE, would Anifah be given another chance?
DeleteDi Jangkakan Ketua Pemuda Umno P176 akan naik sekiranya Anifah berundur, hubungan keduanya amat rapat. Anifah sedia berundur dan memberi sokongan penuh siapa sahaja bakal penggantinya.
