KOTA KINABALU : In respond to Johnny Mositun's statement over the above issue, I would say that Joseph Pairin Kitingan just cannot hide behind the cultural nature of KDCA and use this as an excuse to remain mute in the wake of the onslaught on KDM's native customary lands.
Pairin cannot completely detach himself from this issue given his position as the Deputy Chief Minister of the very government which bent on destroying the NCR of the KDMs whose native ethnic he himself belong to.
Pairin cannot turn a blind eye on the fact that being a President of KDCA he has a moral duty to protect and safeguard the rights of his people from being unjustly treated in their very own land.
Speaking up against injustices should never be treated as politicising the matter.
If bodies like PACOS, the Kadazan Society, Sabah Law Association, PUSAKA and others can express their dismay on the AG's pronouncement on NCR land issue and no one call it as an act of politicising, then
why commenting on the silence of Pairin and KDCA on this very important matter can attract the unwarranted attack by a person like Mositun?
If Dompok, Maximus and other politicians did comment on this issue and Mositun did not lift a finger to attack them then why my comment attracted his dear attention?
If KDCA , a body claimed by Mositun as purely cultural can embark on a business venture like setting up of Koperasi Koisaan Bhd, there is no reason KDCA cannot even comment on the eminent elimination of the life-line of the KDM people, that is LANDS.
Yes, I did in fact bark at the right tree. And the tree is Pairin / KDCA. His silence on the matter is a moral abhorance to his people.
Peter Marajin is a practising lawyer and outspoken on NCR and land rights and Borneonisation cases, he is also Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Supreme Councillor
Marajin as the ex VP of KDCA should be more than qualified to answer this question that he raised.
ReplyDeleteKenapa Marajin tidak jawab persoalan sendiri itu sedangkan beliau juga dari KDCA dulu.
DeleteMaybe its best that Datuk Pairin Kitingan to make his stand on this issue.
ReplyDeletePairin must be bold to protect the natives rights.
ReplyDeletenatives have the right to protect their rights when they are being oppressed or their rights encroached.
DeleteWhat about the Tribunal?
DeleteThe AG's statement has caused many objections and speculations.
ReplyDeleteKenyataan Fernandez cuma pandangan beliau sendiri sahaja dan tidak mewakli kerajaan ataupun rakyat.
DeleteTidak salah untuk membuat komen, tetapi komen beliau membawa kesan yang amat negatif.
Deletehak2 native kena dilindungi.
ReplyDeleteThe question of Sabah's NCR land issue will be discussed by the state Cabinet
ReplyDeleteBiarlah isu ini dibincangkan oleh kabinet terlebih dahulu sebelum keputusan akan diberikan.
DeleteIts like never ending discussion.
Deletethe tribal communities had thrived and developed a cultural system that included land ownership.
ReplyDeleteso, only Pairin has a moral duty to protect and safeguard the rights of Sabahan?? how about SAPP?? waiting for state cabinet post??
ReplyDeleteSAPP hanya tau bercakap dan mengkritik sahaja.
DeletePairin harus meneruskan perjuangan untuk mempertahankan hak milik penduduk.
ReplyDeletePairin sentiasa memperjuangkan hak rakyat,cuma ada yang segelintir pihak yang rasa ia tidak mencukupi.
