YES, we’re heading in the right direction to bury UMNO in
this forthcoming General Election.
If people in Peninsula are now rejecting them who are we to
keep them afloat?
If the Orang Asli are treated as outcasts in the Umno’s
family, which is less than ten kilometres from the nation’s capital, what makes
you think they will look after people in Sook and Banggi alike, thousand
kilometres away?
Only the insane will agree to vote Joseph Kurup in an
exchange with zincs and water tanks for the past 49 years?
For KDM are you still buying the idea of your leaders who
care only for the luxury and comfort? …While the rest are auctioned for less
than fifteen sen a day.
Your kids have no place in our country- Sabah is our country
NOT a State; this is the way I want to call it, say what you like.
Other ethnics in Sabah, including mine-Kadayan Lundayeh,
Brunai I must say this- I detested communal and religious politics propagated
by Umno. Let me repeat, UMNO is race
based political party politics right from day one, read the abbreviation
U.M.N.O
Malay can be anyone, said Mahathir, via his project,
millions of new Malays were created just to make sure UMNO remain in power.
During his reign in twenty-two years, Mahathir acted
arbitrarily defying the law of the country.
Sabah’s leaders nodded subserviently as if they were face to
face with the most powerful Pharaoh of the Exodus over the dining table. Once
cursed no more food.
My question, what did our leaders say and do in Sabah? Not a
word of protest ever occurred about Mahathir’s wrong doings.
Mahathir is UMNO and UMNO is Mahathir, but I consider that
era is about to say good-bye.
For new Sabah’s leaders who have no business in Sabah’s
politics in the past must take cognisance that WE have a different outlook all
together.
Hold tight, let us build up this new aspiration, look for
something different and afresh.
Be on guard of frogging, as now is rainy season; they are
not the only leaders to be reckoned with. But all of You, You and you …can
replace them,
Sabah cannot be a poor 'state'; in the past even with a
graduate of standard six could ensure Sabah can survive another thousand years.
But why are we poor now? Sabah is
categorised poor under UMNO’s government, not during Usno, Berjaya, PBS but
UMNO.
No amount of numbers of super graduates and professionals in
Sabah could escape the tag.
Are Sabah’s leaders mentally retarded under the push button
of KL UMNO’s leaders?
It really is high time to REVIEW, who are we? Who they are?
UMNO needs to be buried and never appear in Sabah. They have no business to
continue detecting people in Borneo.
The cardinal promise made in 1963 has been breached, and no
amount of promises can change Sabahans’ mind.
We have to look beyond the grandiose glass building of KK
Airport, which to many look deserted every time one touches the ground. That is
what UMNO leaders are symbolising with, a hollow and empty inside, in short,
soul-less!

We are still poor in our land. Everybody wakeup from umno drama.say NO to umno, and change the government. Ini kalilah..tukar..
ReplyDeleteTukar kepada apa??
Deleteya la...tukar kepada apa? kalau bilang mahu tukar kerajaan, mahu pilih siapa? berebut-rebut pembangkang di sabah mahu jadi kerajaan negeri sabah..
DeleteDon't put too much hope on opposition either. The current situation in sabah may not change much even if the opposition become the government.
DeleteThe word TUKAR is too subjective.
DeleteBuat apa mau tukar kerajaan..pembangkang belum tentu dapat beri yang terbaik kepada Sabah.
DeletePembangkang ada agenda sendiri, bukan untuk rakyat.
DeleteRakyat harus sedar dan bijak menilai siapakah kerajaan yang betul berkemampuan membawa perubahan kepada Sabah.
DeleteAmde Sidik, your writing is good. STAR echoes my aspiration too. How can we kick a bad habit U.M.N.O (U Must Not Object)?
ReplyDeleteOppositions also have their own bad habits loh..
DeleteIron them out now. What are they?
DeleteAmde sidik, Yong merupakan bebanan kepada parti SAPP...bila mahu reject Yong?
DeleteYong bukan bebanan tapi asset yang mengadakan banyak pengalaman. Rakyat suka Yong, hanya musuh politik yang mengkritik yang bukan-bukan
DeleteIts impossible that opposition doesn't have their own bad habit.
DeleteWriting good only is pointless if the they don't have good/better/best strategies to topple down BN.
DeleteABU! Anything But Umno! Asal Bukan Umno!
ReplyDeletethe future is in the people hands. Vote wisely!
DeleteEasy to talk only but difficult for opposition to agree with one another !!! So how to gain momentum ?
ReplyDeleteThey are building castle in the air only.
Deletepedulikan pembangkang...diorang semua syok sendiri saja...
DeleteAll the opposition parties are only aiming for one thing....power.
Deletestop dreaming to take over Putrajaya.
DeletePembangkang, jangan terlalu yakin... BN tetap akan menang besar pada PRU ini.
DeleteKICK UMNO from our land.
ReplyDeletejangan lupa mahu kick itu PKR, DAP dan PAS...buat menyemak saja di sabah..
DeleteThat is for the people to decide.
DeletePKR, DAP, PAS..buang masa saja di Sabah.
DeleteAmde sidik, pru nanti mahu tanding di mana? ada keyakinan kah akan menang?
ReplyDeletesusah untuk sapp mahu menang. di Bt Sapi pun diorang kalah.
DeleteSAPP parti nyamuk saja...tidak bagi ancaman pun kepada BN sabah...
ReplyDeleteBetween sapp and Star, i think star is more likely to have more supporters.
Deletenyamuk boleh gigit, jangan tengok kecil parti nyamuk..gergasi pun boleh dikalahkan.
ReplyDeleteParti nyamuk, gajah pijak terus mampus.
DeleteI do not normally like to create a kind of branding towards others.But today I feel like making an exception.Have you heard of a clown?Well if you had been to a circus you will definitely see one.His job is to entertain the audience,receives applause and creating all kinds of acts to please the crowd.This is a first class clown because it is in his profession to do such as a career and be the master of the trade.
ReplyDeleteTo see a clown nowadays you don't need to go to a circus.Open the internet,go to a certain website and you will see many clowns trying to clown themselves to others.Unfortunately such clown is not entertaining.They are monotonous in their act and boring too.They are the street clowns and sooner than later you will meet many like the one now in front of your very eyes.See the picture?
You yourself is not only a clown,but a joker for umno.You are a slave of umno,enslaved by the malayan colonizers mentally & spiritually to further enslave us genuine Sabahans. The time has arrived to pull down umno+bn;the signs that the big tree is going to fall is much clearer than the moonlight.Saudara Amde Sidek,keep up your good works.The TREE is falling down like a rock.
DeleteOne gutsy 'clown'. I must say. Hollywood pays big bucks for 'clown acts' annually in Hollywood. I'm hiding behind Anonymous. And I see you want to be a 'child' always? It's scary out there on our own.
DeleteYAH AGREE FULLY LAH! PLENTY OF CLOWNS IN UMNO BN!
DeleteLets see if the opposition can bury the Umno BN in Sabah.
DeleteIf you guys don't like UMNO, why still give them a chance in Sabah? why your people still vote and trust them? i don't think that they not do the right thing for Sabahans, because your people still vote for BN....
ReplyDeleteThere are many Sabahans still in support of BN-UMNO, recently the Bisaya Community have made their stance clear for supporting BN-UMNO following the defection of Lajim Ukin to join the opposition. We will let the voters speak for themselves through voting.
DeleteIf the opposition confident to win the vote in Sabah, they are wrong. BN got a very tough defense in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteBN have higher chances to win the majority votes in Sabah if PKR, SAPP and STAR could not unite before the next GE. Split votes in the opposition is an advantage to BN, just wait and see.
DeleteIt is fated that the BIG TREE is rotten & it has been slowly eaten by termites that have been residing quietly in its trunk for years.In the 2008 election,how many small trees have been unknowingly felled by termites? The termites that have survived from the fallen small trees had immediately hastily without being seen climbed unto the BIG TREE and now that BIG TREE is tottering & it will surely fall on the 13th instant as sure as one could see in the mirror.The fullbacks are bent with long years of corruption & cronyism,exercises of futility and the goalkeepers have become overweight due to gluttony & more,whilst their opponents are as fit as fiddle,their kicks are strong/accurate & they are blasting the balls right past the defense.Before the final whistles are blown,the scores are countless...........!
DeleteAND UMNO bin BN will lose & they will be sweating heavily,waiting for the hammer to fall down???
DeleteAnak Petagas, the clown you are mentioning is yourself or BN? Or that these BN is playing us like clowns? Don't treat us like fools! We are not fools like you want us to be...Sabah is not a tool or a fool for Malayans to play with and we have been fooled for almost 50 years...Sabahans bukan bodoh bah!
ReplyDeleteAmde, well said..I believe you have the true Sabahan spirit in your heart...keep fighting for us!
ReplyDeleteWe shall wait and see during the next GE whether the people will give mandate to the UMNO-BN or Opposition party. It's too early to make any speculations.
DeleteNot so easy to bury UMNO during the next GE as long as the opposition party failed to cooperate in a 1 vs 1 fight. Split votes will be expected if all parties compete all at once.
ReplyDeletejust let them have multi-cornered fight..
DeleteMore chance for BN to win in the GE-13.
DeleteNah. Back to square one kalau macam tu. Muukunom vagu. Heii... aanau. Aiso tusi. Go figure
ReplyDeleteBa, pilih dulu ketua pembangkang Sabah. Tapi mesti local pembangkang. Kasi satu dulu tu parti2 pembangkang di Sabah. Baru boleh menang besar PRU13.
ReplyDeleteEh, bagi tau sikit. Macam mana nah pilih? Siapakah yang layak? Ideally, that elusive choice must go for:
Delete1)Sabah as an independent nation
2)Sabah as an independent nation
3)Sabah as an independent nation
Will take care of the rest in its wake. Anyone?
macam mana juga mau kasi satu itu pembangkang2 Sabah kalau ketua parti masing2 mahu dapat jawatan KM sabah??
Deletebiar rakyat buat pilihan.
Deletekenapa pula jawatan dulu yang mau ditengok??perjuangan dulu yang sepatutnya didahulukan.
Deletereject semua parti politik Asalkan Bukan Umno.. pergh.. menjadi juga ba ayat saya ni..
ReplyDeleteSapp pun no place in Sabah juga ba.. buat apa pilih parti yang sudah pernah diberikan peluang.. kasi chance la parti yang belum pernah rasa itu balak Sabah..
ReplyDeleteWhen I wrote about a clown many seem to associate myself with UMNO.I was only trying to create a hypothesis about the career of a clown and how a clown earns his living clowning himself in front of others.It is non-political but those guilty conscious people are just edgy and the moment they read they start to conclude that I must be referring to something more sinister.Did I?
ReplyDeleteISN'T NAJIB A CLOWN?
DeleteDON'T FEEL ISOLATED......
I'm chuckling. Red-lips sure is a sign.
Deletekita tgk samada rakyat akan terus sokong UMNO atau tidak.
ReplyDeletebiar rakyat pilih sendiri siapa yang mereka mahu.

ReplyDeleteHOW UMNO ACTUALLY REMAINED IN POWER FROM 1971
THIS IS VALUABLE INSIGHT INTO THE SUPP LEADERSHIP WHICH COMMITTED THE CRIMINAL BETRAYAL OF SARAWAK WHEN THE TRAITORS JOINED UMNO BN IN 1971 & GAVE IT A 2/3 MAJORITY. (After losing it 2/3 majority in 1969)
SUPP should not fool itself!
Voon Lee Shan blog Saturday, June 28, 2008
There is no reason why SUPP should still remain as a partner of the Barisan Nasional government when the Party itself could not protect its own interest and had no or very little bargaining power within the government itself. After SUPP formed the State government with Parti Bumiputra on Tuesday 7th July, 1970, their left wing then accused the leadership of selling out the Party, which caused their then Party Chairman during the 7th Delegate Conference held on December, 1970 to deny this and said that they joined the government as co-equals, but, how correct was this? We have witness that all these years SUPP’s influence in BN government, both at the State and Federal levels, had not only dwindled, but, also showed that the Party could no more advance and protect the interest of its own Party members and supporters.
SUPP’s decision in joining the Federal government on 11 February, 1971 saw the amendment of the Federal Constitution by Tun Razak’s government and this was a big blow to Malaysians who believed in equal economic opportunity to all races, fairness in promotion and recruitment into the civil service and equal opportunity to pursue education. These three fields of opportunities were of paramount importance in a developing country and in Malaysia, the UMNO led government had exploited this to UMNO’s advantage at the expense of many other races and also at the expense of many bumiputera themselves. If one had no connection with people at the top, it seemed that job and business opportunities were scare and licences applied for not only delayed but, a lot of “funny things” went on before one could get them. Now, we could see there is a trend towards a one race civil service due to four to one ratio policy in recruitment policy. This policy was revealed in a book by a SUPP politician.
By joining Tun Razak’s government, SUPP’s five Members of Parliament at that time allowed the bare two-thirds majority needed in helping UMNO led government to amend the Federal Constitution prohibiting any questioning or criticism of the special position of the malays and the granting of citizenship rights to immigrants. IF SUPP had not joined Tun Razak’s government, the UNMO led government at that time, could not not the two third majority in Parliament to amend the Federal Constitution. After the amendment, even Members of Parliament could not refer these matters in Parliament. So SUPP helped UMNO to achieve what UMNO wanted.
The amendment of the Federal Constitution had made Sabah and Sarawak a heaven for immigrants from neighbouring countries and now Sabah and Sarawak are faced with the problems of illegal immigrants and rising crimes. SUPP leaders now condemned the Police for its ineffectiveness in curbing crimes and many accused that foreigners caused crime rates to rise up sharply. Many of these foreigners later on managed to be issued with the Malaysian identity cards. People in the streets cursed the government, but, who in actual fact had allowed this to happen? Had not SUPP played a part to make this happened?
KING MAKERS- MISSED THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!
ReplyDeleteHOW UMNO ACTUALLY REMAINED IN POWER FROM 1971
PART 2)
Being helpless, SUPP had also allowed leaders of UMNO led government to manipulate the New Economic
Policy to the advantage of certain group of people and we could in recent years heard dissent voices against the implementation of the New Economic Policy which tend to benefit the few people at the Corridors of Power. The amendments to the Federal Constitution blend well with the Economic Policy to such an extent that no one should voice any dissatisfaction about these. Dayaks whom SUPP had once aggressively championed are still left far behind in terms of economic advancement and opportunities. Likewise, the many malays who have no connections with PBB and UMNO only had to be satisfied to stay at their kampong lands, hoping that God would be kind to keep them healthy always. The rich Malays are very rich and are confined to the very few although the living standard of many malays are much better now.
jUST CHANGE THE GOVERNMENT...AND WE WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE...ONLY CHANGE WILL BRING A BETTER GOVERNMENT.
ReplyDeleteThat is from the real heart from a genuine Sabahan....I truly believe a brave Amde, with all his honesty, sincerity can make us win and be proud.
ReplyDeleteKAMU SOKONG PENUH PENDAPAT KAU.
DeleteHow are we sure the opposition would do better than the current government?
ReplyDeletenegeri yang ditadbir oleh PR pun ada banyak masalah juga.
DeleteSelagi PR tidak memimpin, bagaimana kami boleh ketahui cara pentadbiran, mungkin baik dan mungkin lebih teruk.
DeleteWhat the people desire is change in the land of Sabah.
ReplyDeleteTackle the issues faced today and make a whole lot of difference afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI really wonder what the oppositions are after.
ReplyDeleteLet's see what they are capable.
ReplyDeleteApa yang pembangkang boleh buat untuk Sabah.. kerajaan yang ada sekarang sudah cukup bagus.
ReplyDeleteWhile the currently administration has had its share of howlers, we don't not have an alternative. I do not see the opposition as a viable alternative. And let's face it, left to our own devices, I am not sure the Sabah mentality has what it takes to compete in the world's market.
ReplyDeleteStability contributes to growth, and being part of Malaysia, Sabah has contributed in human and natural resources. On the subject of the woes we see in Sabah, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We have accept incompetence, corruption and the tidak apa altitude. We are friendly but not professional. That is no way to run a state. And for the record, I didn't vote for anybody to rule over me. Elected representatives are just that, they represent us in Parliament, they are our voice, they represent the will of the people. Get the record straight - our representatives work for us. The day they stop doing that us the day we remind them with our votes.
Sound like a loser. Wishy-washy. Hints are there, though.
Deleterakyat tidak lagi sokong sapp, dari dulu pun mereka tidak buat apa untuk rakyat.
ReplyDeletesapp hanya pandai bercakap saja. dulu masa dalam kerajaan tiada apa pun yang mereka buat.
ReplyDeleteSemak keahlian orang Islam dalam SAPP dan pastikan mereka bukan PATI.
ReplyDeleteKeraguan tetap ada. mana la tahu kan. Under RCI la SAPP ni.
DeleteKita sama-sama saksikan parti mana yang akan terkubur pada PRU13.
ReplyDeleteABU and many of us know what is UBI-Only UMNO always politicize Islam but not other muslim do more than they do solely talk hell great only Malayu.Hence,UMNO BUKAN ISLAM betul?
ReplyDeleteABU and UBI for Sabah kali ni!
UMNo kehilangan Lajim dan Bumbering, ini berkemungkinan membawa kesan yang negatif kepada UMNO di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteParti komponen BN harus sebulat suara untuk memperjuangkan yang terbaik untuk rakyat.
