RANAU : I am shocked to read YB Dr Ewon Ebin's statement today where he was reportedly to have said that he would not assist now those who support the opposition because it was not Barisan Nasional policy.
He said so in his speech made at a meet the people session at Kampung Wakaku in Paginatan near here a few days ago and carried by a local newspapers (Daily Express) today.
Ewon said: "Honestly i cannot assist those who support the opposition because i hold true to the BN government concept which is different from the opposition party's concept".
His words could be taken as a threat against the rakyat as a whole, when he knows best that no matter which party the people support, they still are bona fide citizens of Sabah and Malaysia and therefore entitled to assistance from the government.
What Ewon promoted in his speech was sheer arrogance of power and signal his paranoia of a shifting allegiance of the disenfranchised Sabahans including many Dusuns in Paginatan and Ranau.
Isn't it a practice of a civilised democracy to allow citizens freedom of expression or association with any legitimate party they believed in its struggle?
On Ewon's contention that only BN can bring development and assistance, this is a misguided belief, as anybody can work to bring development and that it is the government that are entrusted to manage the people's money and it is not BN that is the only one who can bring development.
In fact because of the growing strength of dissents and opposition in Sabah, the government tends to listen and give more development to Sabah now. If not, then BN leaders like Ewon would just take the people's support for granted.
Ewon must also be reminded that he was once in opposition PBS and he should be able to appreciate his experience with the people then and not replicate what his masters UMNO was telling him to say now.
The people are wise and need not be threatened with such arrogant words even though they are now supporters of parties other than the UMNO-led BN.

Thats ok, let him continue with his threat. We'll just let him know that we will not be able to assist him when we take Sabah out of Malaya.
ReplyDeleteSABAHANS - UMNO TAUGHT THE TRAITORS SUCH TRICKS OF TRADE WHEN UMNO FIRST USED THE THREAT OF FOREIGN INVASION TO PRESSURIZE & BLACKMAIL US INTO "MALAYSIA".
DeleteWhen we take Sabah out of Malaysia- Musa will be one of the first one to be arrested with Pairin & charged for corruption, abuse of power, grand robbery and treason.
Threaten Ewon for nothing? So childish.
DeleteBALLS CARRIERS
DeleteStar cuma memutar belit kenyataan Ewon Ebin untuk mengelirukan rakyat.
DeleteEwon dan PBSnya sudah terasa dengan bahang kepanasan STAR di Ranau dan bercakap apa saja yang dia tidak faham untuk merai simpati rakyat*
DeleteBarisan Nasional policy is to issue threats and money to win votes.
ReplyDeleteThe people should not believe in the oppositions, you all are being cheated!!!!!
DeleteBN is the one who cheated the peoples...their slogan is RAKYAT DIDAHULUKAN,PENCAPAIAN DIUTAMAKAN...but now it changed to RAKYAT DIUGUT,UNTUK KEPENTINGAN BN...BN SUCK....STUPID.!!!..
DeleteI wish to say that the oppositions are having the same intention too.
DeleteWhen we look at Malaysia's political history, we can conclude that it has been Barisan Nasional policy to issue racist, religious threats and infrastructure development funds and money to win votes and that's how BN stayed in power for more than 50 years.
DeleteREMEMBER that incident in Sarawak where a pensioner's payments were stopped by the responsible Minister because he voted against BN?!
ReplyDeleteFurther proof that BN threatens the people who support the Opposition.
DeleteSARAWAK MINISTER JAMES MASING WARNED VOTERS "JAGAN LAWAN TAUKE (TOWKAY)"
DeleteOnly a gangster like those in power threaten people with such words.
This type of towkays are headed by big brother Taib down and his gang with men like Masing betrayed his people and electorate and joined Taib, his family cronies and that class of timber tycoon originating from Sibu who all pillaged Sarawak are a criminal syndicate.
Sabah has had 14 Chinese Ministers and many of them participated in robbing the people and country. They have also become adept at threatening the people with blackmail to extract their vote while robbing them.
A new Sabah government after we get our independence from Malaya- must set up an Justice commission to investigate and bring to trial and punish all these criminals.
memang lah begitu kalau sudah ditolak rakyaat,salah satu cara ada lah menghukum rakyaat sendiri,bagi saya slogan membantu bangsa sendiri pada diri pemimpin BN sudah tidak ada,mereka hanya tahu menggretak saja,itu lah rakyaat sabah, kita kasi sikul tinggi anak kita supaya kita tidak makan gretak,kalau pemimpin pukul meja kita angkat meja,baru lah diaorang tahu siapa yang berkuasa sebenarnya mereka kah atau rakyaat
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Ewon threatening people who disobey BN. Come on, is this another way of making story to let me believe that STAR has been victimized?
DeleteMustahil Ewon mengeluarkan keyataan itu, ini hanya cakap kosong sahaja.
Deleteperanan kerajaan adalah membantu rakyat, tak kira rakyat itu penyokong kerajaan atau pembangkang, pemberian bantuan kena adil.
ReplyDeletePembangkang hanya menginginkan kuasa sahaja. janganlah terpedaya dengan kata-kata janji mereka.
Deletecuma ada pihak yang cuba politikkan bantuan ni hingga jadi satu isu yang besar termasuklah BR1M.
DeleteBN cuba mengekalkan kuasa dengan cara mengugut rakyat...jangan tuduh pembangkang hanya ingin kuasa...sedangkan wakil rakyat BN yang menerajui kerajaan menyalahgunakan kuasa untuk kepentingan diri dan bukan untuk rakyat...kalau BN tidak menginginkan kuasa barulah anda boleh menuduh pembangkang hanya inginkan kuasa...tapi mungkin BN tidak lagi menginginkan kuasa jadi...INI KALI LAH...
Deletekerajaan yang baik pasti akan disokong oleh rakyat..YB adalah wakil rakyat...jadi membeza-bezakan rakyat adalah bukan ciri seorang wakil rakyat tetapi seorang yang takut akan hilang kuasa dan kedudukan.
DeleteTak payah la nak tuduh Ewon nak ugut orang pula. Ni kan namanya fitnah. Tak baik nak adili orang macam tu.
DeleteKerajaan tidak akan mengugut rakyat, jangan cepat terpedaya dengan fitnah yang cuba menjatuhkan kerajaan ini.
Deletekerajaan mmg adil dalam memberi bantuan, seperi bantuan BRIM, semua rakyat mendapatnya tanpa mengira kaum, agama dan penyokong parti mana.
ReplyDeleteBR1M seterusnya biarlah tidak berlaku keciciran atau ada warga asing yang dapat.
DeleteBRIM adalah wang rakyat kepada rakyat sepatutnya BN tidak perlu mempolitikkan duit rakyat untuk kepentingan diri...
DeleteBN tidak mempolitikkan BR1M tetapi pembangkang lah yang mempolitikkannya..
DeleteBN sudah mempolitikkan BR1M yang Kedua untuk memancing lebih banyak undi sebelum umum PRU-13.
DeleteSTAR is merely being jealous.
DeleteSalah fahamlahh ini, beliau tidak maksud begitu...
ReplyDeleteWho are you to say BN is threatening the people?
ReplyDeleteIf only you were on the opposite side of the pitch then you would know.
DeleteWHO BN THAT IS IT IMMUNED FROM CRITICISMS?
DeleteRead up what UMNO & Co said and threatened the people with before & during Bersih 1, 2 & 3.
1. Favourite threat is "you are a communist" - in the past this instantly shut people up because it was such a serious threat as you could be false accused detained and jailed without trial.
2. "Don't start another May 13" - this threat also intimidated people from exercising one of the few avenues of democratic expression- this is to demonstrate and vote with your feet. The Bersih movement has for the moment reduced fear of this UMNO blackmail.
3. In the past they also used the general threat of "not opposing your government" implying that we have to accept what BN dictates to us. This is playing the people's respect for authority. The above comment is in this category. But the situation has changed dramatically in Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak. The people are standing up to UMNO BN nonsense and shenanigans.
It is one of our democratic rights as citizens to criticise any gov't for not doing the right thing and not be punished for it - not like that Sarawak pensioner who was targetted for voting against the BN.
4. A popular blackmail is to withhold development funds from poverty stricken areas. Perhaps the fact that Sabah and Sarawak have been so deprived of "development" may be de to the fact the people are against them? Other than corruption?
So why should we criticise and take action against a corrupt government?
Lain kali jangan terlalu terasa. Bukan bermaksud Ewon mengugut rakyat yang tidak menyokong BN cuma cara beliau menyampaikan sahaja seperti mengugut.
ReplyDeletemaka lain kali beliau harus berhati-hati dalam menyampaikan ucapan dan kenyataan...nanti rakyat salah faham dan kecil hati..
DeleteRakyat mempunyai hak untuk memilih parti yang mereka suka dan tidak ada halangan untuk itu.
ReplyDeletememang pun tiada halangan..
DeleteBiarlah Ewon cakap macam tu, yang penting rakyat tahu mahu buat apa:)
ReplyDeleteTapi, rasanya bukan ugutan ba tu... Itu cuma pandangan Ewon ja:)
ReplyDeletepandangan kepala otak..terang-terangan cuba mengugut....
DeleteStar ni tahu cari point saja, macamlah diri tu sempurna.
ReplyDeleteKalau pemimpin guna ugutan untuk mendapat sambutan itu bukan pemimpin namanya tapi samseng mengamuk.Buang saja orang begini jangan lagi fikir dua kali.
ReplyDeletesamseng BN mula menonjolkan amukan gila mereka...tidak perlu fikir lagi..buang terus...
DeleteRakyat tak perlu risaulah... Kuasa kan ada ditangan rakyat jadi undilah siapa saja asalkan layak diundi.
ReplyDeletebetul tu
DeleteINI KALI LAH
Soal, si Ewon ni biarlah saja. Rasanya dia takda niatpun mahu mengugut cuma mahu memastikan kalau sokongan padu diberi lebih mudah utk kerajaan bantu rakyat:)
ReplyDeletebukan soal si Ewon saja...tapi beliau telah mengakui itulah konsep BN iaitu mengugut rakyat....tolak BN...
Deletebiasalah dalam politik bah...bukan perkara serius pun...terpulang kepada kita sebagai rakyat yang berhak untuk memilih menilainya..
ReplyDeletedalam politik budaya mengugut merupakan perkara yang serius kerana ia boleh melemahkan proses demokrasi...iaitu tidak menghormati pilihan rakyat...parti yang menerajui kerajaan sekarang memang tidak boleh dipakai sudah....ganti baju...
DeleteRakyat jangan mudah terpedaya, sudah jelas keyataan Ewon di putar belit oleh pembangkang.
DeleteIni cuma pandangan beliau. Harap beliau tidak membuat andaian atau rekaan sendiri.
DeleteSupport the winning party.
ReplyDeleteThe people of Sabah should not feel threatened.
ReplyDeletePolitical games and crisis everywhere.
ReplyDeletesekarang ini semua pun mahu dimanipulasi untuk kepentingan politik.
DeleteWe are not been threatened by any party.
ReplyDeleteSabah for life…one people!
ReplyDeleteMALAYSIA = COLONIZATION
DeleteMALAYSIA DAY = COLONIZATION DAY
DON'T CELEBRATE THIS COLONIZATION DAY!
Pemimpin ini sudah lapok jadi rakyat patut fikir untuk mendapat yang baru.Lagipun kalau guna ugutan itu salah jadi sudah tidak layak menjadi pemimpin.
ReplyDeleteThe people should not need to be threaten. Just vote wisely!
DeleteEwon's statement has made the people think negatively about BN.
ReplyDeletehis statement may lead to the decrease of supporters in BN.
DeleteI wonder what Ewon have to say about this article.
ReplyDeleteclearly, Ewon has made a mistaken in making such statement. His statement bring consequences to BN.
Deleteatas pagar voters are boiling up over this issue...should say be end..
DeleteRasanya Ewon bukan bermaksud begitu, cuma pembaca yang salah faham saja. Mana mungkin kerajaan akan menghasut rakyat untuk mendapatkan sokongan?
DeleteEwon berhak membuat kenyataan beliau sendiri, tapi terpulanglah kepada rakyat bagaimana mereka membuat penilaian.
ReplyDeleteLain orang, lain pandangannya. Kenyataan Ewon ini mudah disalah tafsir, lebih2 lagi oleh mereka yang memang tak bersetuju dengan beliau.
DeleteBetul tu, masing-masing ada pandangan sendiri, mereka yang suka mengkritik memang akan memutar kenyataan Ewon sehigga pembaca lain salah faham.
DeleteApa sebenarnya maksud Ewon? Atau kenyataan beliau sengaja di putar belit untuk hangatkan keadaan?
ReplyDeleteMenilailah sendiri kenyataan tersebut.
DeleteMungkin juga kenyataan itu bermaksud yang tiada erti beri bantuan kepada mereka yang tidak mahu tolong diri sendiri? Yang komplen saja banyak tapi sendiri tiada usaha.
ReplyDeleteKeyataan Ewon di putarbelitkan oleh pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteMungkin beliau tidak bermaksud untuk mengeluarkan keyataan itu, cuma di salah erti kan oleh pihak tertentu sahaja, biasa la pembangkang ada sahaja mau cari isu.
ReplyDeleteUngut mengugut itu perkara biasa dalam politik.
ReplyDeletenothing is impossible in politics
ReplyDeleteHe has to be careful with what he say in front of reporters
ReplyDeleteDimana kebenaran dalam kenyataan ini. Yang pasti rakyat ada pilihan mereka sendiri.
ReplyDeleteRakyat tahu apa yang patut untuk mereka. Rasanya perkara ini masih menjadi persoalan adakah rekaan semata-mata atau pun benar.
ReplyDeleteTerpulang kepada rakyat sendiri menilaikannya.
ReplyDeleteIni semata-mata untuk melemahkan sokongan BN.
ReplyDeleteRakyat juga susah membezakannya.
ReplyDeleteKenyataan Ewon Ebih hanya pendapat beliau sendiri dan tidak mewakili kerajaan.
ReplyDeletebenarkah ini? atau ada yang disalah ertikan.
ReplyDeletetapi setakat ini yang saya lihat, bila ada bantuan rakyat tidak kira parti akan diberikan.
ReplyDeletelebih baik Ewon memberi penjelasan mengenai isu ini bagi mengelak ia terus dimainkan.
ReplyDeleteapa pun rakyat pasti dapat menilai samaada pemimpin itu menjalankan tugas atau tidak.
ReplyDeletepemimpin2 pembangkang pun selalu membuat kenyataan yang berunsur ugutan.. kalau BN memerintah, negara akan bankrap.. kalau BN memerintah, sikap perkauman akan subur, kalau BN memerintah rakyat akan miskin.. etc etc
ReplyDeletepemimpin2 Star pun kalau turun berkempen, tidak lepas juga tu statement berbentuk ugutan.. jangan tipu la..
