Since 1963 Sabah has lost its autonomy and downgraded from a nation within a nation to one of 13 states in Malaysia and to the extent of being cheated and treated as a colony with a loss of political power with leaders being elected with the help of outsiders.
From a rich nation with abundant resources of oil and gas, it has descended to become the poorest state in Malaysia.
Its revenue collections have also been siphoned to the federal government and the latest disclosures by the government reveals that some RM37.7 billion was taken from Sabah in 2011 comprising RM22.7 billion in tax revenue and some RM15 billion in oil and gas revenue.
Dr. Jeffrey advised the audience of some 350 people from Kapayan and Penampang that Sabahans need to be united and seek to claim for its rights and autonomy and to stop Sabah from future deterioration and damage.
“I am very happy that Mr. John Ho together with his colleagues in PBS comprising branch chairmen and leaders of the 11 PBS branches in Kapayan have agreed to join STAR Sabah.”
“I am also told that earlier today, the division chief of PKR Sepanggar together with a majority of the committee members and several hundred members have also joined STAR” announced Dr. Jeffrey to the cheering crowd.
It is heartening to hear of community leaders beginning to heed the call for unity and taking up the challenge to reclaim Sabah’s rights and autonomy and to restore the State to its original status of an autonomous nation and be entitled to its own resources and revenues.
We need to stress that the people of Sabah need to be united to remove the current Sabah leaders who have become traitors for failing to safeguard Sabah’s rights and autonomy and replace them with “warriors” who will fight for the rights and autonomy of Sabah.
Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman, STAR Sabah
Kali ini lah...John Ho and other are going over to Star
ReplyDeleteDiharapkan kesatuan KOKAKOBA ini akan menggalakkan komuniti lain di Sabah untuk bersatu padu.
ReplyDeleteAdakah benar bahawa PKR Sepanggar akan dibubarkan untuk mengikuti Star?
ReplyDeleteBubar atau tidak, lebih baik PKR fokus di Semenanjung.
Deletebgs lagi PKR Sabah dibubarkan. aman juga Sabah ni.
DeleteItulah yang saya dengar juga. Seperti itu adalah fakta dan bukannya rekaan lagi.
DeleteIsn't KOKAKOBA is meant to foster of unity amongst its members, promoting socio-economic and inter-trade activities amongst its members, promoting social, cultural and religious activities and promoting educational and knowledge-based learning and achievements to develop human capital in the society in Sabah? It seems it is influenced by political motives.
ReplyDeleteJika dilihat pun sudah semestinya PKR di Sabah tidak sesuai. Tapi rasanya Kerajaan kita ini lagi sesuai dan masih relevan untuk Sabah.
ReplyDeleteKelemahan boleh diperbaiki, kerajaan yang ada sekarang banyak juga memberi menolong rakyat.
Delete"Dr. Jeffrey advised the audience of some 350 people from Kapayan and Penampang that Sabahans need to be united.."
ReplyDeletebefore you urge Sabahan to be united, you should urge yourself to be united with other opposition parties including PR.. don't urge the people to unite in order to give you CM post..
