A Sabah MP has questioned the federal
government's right to claiming 'Janji Ditepati' in Sabah when it has not
fulfilled the terms of the 20-point agreement signed in 1963.
TAWAU: This year’s National Day theme ‘Janji Ditepati’ (Promises Fulfilled) is a “cruel joke” and an insult to Sabah and its people, an MP has charged.
Chua Soon Bui, the Tawau MP, said it was regrettable that the Ministry of Information, Communication and Culture has chosen such a “misleading-and-self-glorifying” theme for this year’s National Day’s celebration, when Sabah is currently the poorest state in Malaysia.
“What promises have been fulfilled in Sabah when despite being an equal partner of the Federation of Malaysia, and once the richest state in Malaysia, with rich natural resources including oil and gas, Sabah has
been reduced to the poorest state in Malaysia?
“What promises have been fulfilled for Sabah in term of 20 points agreement when Malaysia was formed on Sept 16, 1963, 49 years ago?
“It is a shame that Sabah is the most impoverished state in Malaysia today, with poverty rate of 19.7% as compared to Perlis – the second poorest state with a poverty rate of 6%. Sabah is 5.5 times poorer compared to the national poverty average of 3.6%,” she said.
Chua, a vice-president of the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), also wants the federal government to respect the historical facts of the nation, especially in regards to its formation.
The government leaders in the peninsula, she said, were continuing to twist historical facts by declaring that the nation is 55 years old, when Malaysia has not existed for that long.
Malaysia was only formed together with Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak on Sept 16, 1963 and so their calculations do not add up, she said.
“Stop misleading the people on the actual and correct number of years since it has achieved independence from British rule. It is 49 years for Sabah and not 55 years,” she said.

ReplyDeleterakyat sudah bijak untuk menilai..
DeleteKerajaan perlulah bijak menarik sokongan. Jangan hanya tahu berjanji kosong.
ReplyDeletekerajaan tidak berjanji kosong...yang berjanji kosong itu adalah pembangkang..
Deletesapp hanya tahu cakap, tapi tiada apa yang mereka mampu buat untuk rakyat.
DeleteDiharapkan kerajaan akan berusaha melaksanakan semua perjanjian kepada rakyat supaya rakyat tidak hilang kepercayaan dan keyakinan terhadap mereka. Datuk Musa Aman juga mengesa semua wakil rakyat supaya menunaikan janji kepada rakyat sebelum PRU-13 supaya mreka akan memberi mandat kepada kerajaan BN sekali lagi.
DeleteJika janji tidak ditepati rakyat akan memandang negatif kepada kerajaan. Ini akan menyebabkan sokongan kepada kerajaan akan berkurangan. Jadi pastikan perkara ini tidak akan berlaku.
ReplyDeletekerajaan sentiasa berusaha untuk menepati janji mereka...tidak seperti pembangkang yang hanya tahu berjanji..

Deleteyang penting usaha harus terus dibuat untuk memenuhi semua janji.
DeleteKerajaan yang gagal menunaikan janji akan disingkirkan oleh rakyat sendiri.
Deletechua, lebih baik daripada yong teck lee..mungkin sudah tiba masanya chua untuk menggulingkan Yong dan menerajui SAPP ke arah perubahan..
ReplyDeleteYTL memonopoli jawatan yang dipegangnya sekarang. fikirlah untuk bagi peluang dengan yang lain.
DeleteBetul, patut beri peluang kepada orang lain untuk memegang jawatan presiden SAPP.
Deletejika SAPP tidak melakukan perubahan dalam parti, maka pada pru13 ni jika SAPP bertanding, SAPP kena bersedia untuk menerima kekalahan dan mungkin juga kahal dengan hilang deposit.
ReplyDeleteLebih baik mereka bekerjasama dengan parti pembangkang yang lain. jangan terlalu ego.
Deletesapp mana mahu kerjasama dengan parti lain..kan diorang fikir diorang hebat.
DeleteLebih baik si Yong Teck Lee disingkirkan daripada parti SAPP kerana YTL adalah liabiliti kepada parti mereka.
DeleteSAPP lebih mementingkan agenda sendiri.
Deletesapp lagi lah tidak boleh percaya..bikin rugi adalah.
ReplyDeletebukan senang mahu puaskan hati semua orang,..apa yang penting adalah perlaksanaan setiap pekara yang membawa kebaikan kepada rakyat.
ReplyDeleteHarap kerajaan akan menepati janji mereka dalam menunaikan perjanjian 20 perkara dan perjanjian 18 perkara untuk Sabah dan Sarawak.
ReplyDeleteJanji Ditepati ini hanya tema Hari Kemerdekaan saja, tidak perlulah dipolitikkan.
ReplyDeleteRakyat harus bijak menilai siapakah yang benar membawa perkembangan yang berterusan.
ReplyDeleteIsu kemiskinan adalah isu semua golongan juga. Rakyat juga harus berusaha membaiki pendapatan dan membaiki status taraf hidup.
ReplyDeletedon't forget that SAPP is one of the state government previously.. so the fail to fulfill 20 point of agreement is they failure as well..
ReplyDelete“Stop misleading the people on the actual and correct number of years since it has achieved independence from British rule. It is 49 years for Sabah and not 55 years,”
ReplyDeletesapp should also stop misleading the people.. the government highlighted that the Malaysia independence is 55 years, not Sabah.. do they think that Malaysia should use 49 years when there are states which achieved their independence early than that??
byk janjo2 kerajaan telah ditepati, walaupun ada lagi belum dilaksana, namun usaha melaksanakannya dilakukan.
ReplyDeleteProgress tetap ada untuk projek2 yang telah dilaksanakan
DeletePembangkang sengaja manipulasikan tema kemerdekaan tahun ni. Setiap janji memang perlu ditepati.
ReplyDeleteDeputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan is expecting Sabah to be provided with more funding from the Federal government in the 2013 Budget.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSabah still requires a lot of financial allocation, particularly for the development of rural areas which are still lagging behind in terms of infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteHe urged the federal government to provide more funding to upgrade roads and provide electricity and water supplies to fulfill the agenda of transforming the rural areas.
Pairin sincerely hoped that Sabah will get ‘good news’ with the 2013 budget to be tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak this month.

ReplyDeleteTouching on the issue of members making party crossovers, the president of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) said he was not at all surprised since it had become a unique political trend.
ReplyDeleteAs a democracy professing freedom of speech, party hopping is not restrainable. “We cannot restrict the freedom of the individual to choose which party he wants to and as much as we want to contain party hopping, say, by introducing an anti-hop law, any such law would still be contrary to the Constitution.“To me, crossovers have become a norm and is asam garam?(part and parcel) of Sabah political scenario,” Pairin said.
He however expressed confidence that with a charismatic leader like Prime Minister Najib, any party hopping would not jeopardise the support of the people for the BN.
ReplyDeleteThe Minister of Infrastructure Development was also confident that the BN would ‘win big’ in the coming general election.

ReplyDelete“I’m sure the people in the interior will continue to give their strong support to the present BN government in the forthcoming 13th general election,” he said.
