Lajim, who is Beaufort MP, also indicated his support for the opposition after he had remained quiet over his political leanings after he quit the government, applauding Pakatan Rakyat’s promise to raise oil royalty payments to 20%.
Sabah is rich in oil and contributes some RM22 billion of oil revenue annually but enjoys a mere 5% return in royalty while government allocations to the state, one of the poorest in the country, is said to be comparatively low.
Lajim’s insinuation of support for Pakatan could see BN taking on a united opposition in the Sabah.
In his speech during the 2013 Budget debate in parliament, Lajim said the ruling coalition had failed to bring development in the state.
Compared to the 85% rate of completed paved roads in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah has only 35%. Connectivity is a key issue in the state which is why Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had announced increased allocations for road projects there.
But the former deputy minister, who was among the few other Sabah leaders who recently defected following disillusionment with the Najib administration’s failure to address the problems in Sabah, said none of the promises have been fulfilled so far.
“For 55 years BN have ruled and Sabah had contributed so much to the Malaysian economy since then but still it is one of the poorest state in the country.
“This shows that Sabah and Sarawak are never the government’s priority despite us being the fixed deposit for the ruling coalition. The Sabahan people have been sidelined,” he said.
Other Sabah BN leaders had also admitted recently that more must be done to improve the socio-economic situation in the state but so far none of them have been upfront about who is to be blamed for Sabah’s underdevelopment.
A Merdeka Center survey released on Friday showed that 57% were dissatisfied with the state’s economic performance and only 56% of Sabah voters were satisfied with the state government, a 6% drop from 62% in November 2009.
The report also showed a significant drop in the state’s chief minister Musa Aman’s rating.
From 60% in November 2009, it dropped to to 45% in September. The decline was most marked among Muslim-Bumiputera voters who are the backbone of the state’s Umno support, with a drop from 72% in November 2009 to 51% last month.
Analysts believe the recent defections in the state will alter the state’s and the national political landscape there, suggesting BN will face some hurdles in its stronghold in the upcoming polls.

tembirang saja ba si Lajim ni.. dia sendiri gagal membangunkan kawasan dia masa dia masih dalam BN.. juga gagal menunaikan janji2 dia ketika memegang jawatan kabinet negeri.. sekarang dia kasi pindah pula kegagalan dia sendiri kepada bekas parti dia..
ReplyDeleteKawasan Lajim ada hospital dan jambatan baru..apa lagi si Lajim mahu twist the fact ni?
Deletelajim memang seorang yang gagal...pasal tu lah dia tidak akan dicalonkan semula pada pru13...sebab yang lajim tahu hanyalah memberikan janji2 manis, janji2 bulan dan bintang macam pembangkang hingga menyusahkan kerajaan..
DeleteKerajaan Persekutuan dan Negeri telah menyalurkan lebih dari RM500 juta bagi melestarikan program pembangunan di kawasan Parlimen Beaufort. Lajim Ukin sendiri masa beliau dalam kerajaan mengatakan jumlah peruntukan tersebut digunakan bagi meningkatkan kemudahan infrastruktur seperti menaik taraf jalanraya, bekalan air, membina jambatan, hospital dan sekolah dimana ia mendahului senarai peruntukan yang disediakan.
DeleteLajim inginkan kuasa yang mutlak, BN tidak dapat lompat pigi pakatan. Rakyat memerlukan seorang wakil rakyat bukan wakil jadi kaya.
DeletePandai sahaja Lajim cakap.. tempat beliau sendiri sekarang pun telah banyak pembangunan di buat.
Deletehehe Lajim, Lajim....Raja Petra recently caught you red handed & reveal the real reason why you defected to PKR...
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter which party Lajim goes to, he will not going to become the Chief Minister for Sabah...why? because he carried too much baggage on both of his hands...
DeleteLajim from a frog to a turtle. The 'baggage' is so heavy.
Deleteindeed...lajim is not fit and relevant to be Sabah CM...
DeleteIf Lajim really want to fight for Sabahan, why should him to set up his own party and not join the already exist parties?as a leader, he know what will happen if too many party to contest in their own.
DeleteHe just a power freak a gamester, take citizen future as gambling.
DeleteThis i got from RPK:
ReplyDelete"Actually, the reason why Lajim resigned from all his posts in Umno (but not as an Umno member) is because of a scandal that was about to explode. Hence he no longer has any future in Umno, especially as a candidate in the coming general election. And this scandal involves someone I will call Mr. W".
nah, lajim apa komen kau lajim?
DeleteMereka yang lompat parti baru2 ni memang tahu mereka tidak akan tercalon untuk PRU-13 ni. Lihat saja JK yang sudah lompat 5 kali dari satu parti ke parti yang lain. semuanya sebab pangkat dan kuasa.
DeleteAda yang lajim mau tu, itu sebab lompat parti.. cita-cita mau jadi KM.
DeleteLajim, lajim, PKR akan sama saja dengan BN. Kamu fikir diorang betul2 peduli Sabahkah atau mau jajah Sabah dan mengambil minyak dan kekayaan Sabah. Kamu hanya akan jadi kuda tunggang AI dan PKR dan diperguna utk menguasai Sabah.
ReplyDeleteAku mau tanya kau, Lajim, Sabah, 1 daripada 3 negara yg membentuk Malaysia pada 16 Sept 1963 atau negeri ke-12 seperti dalam IC utk urang Sabah? Dalam Buku Jingga dan Kuching Declaration, terang-terang dinyatakan Sabah akan diberi autonomi mengikut taraf Sabah sejajar dengan Perlembagaan Malaysia. Dalam Perlembagaan Malaysia, yang asal pada 1963 telah dipinda pada 1976 dan Sabah kini 1 daripada 13 negeri dalam Malaysia.
Dalam Kuching Declaration, dinyatakan hanya "spirit of the Malaysia Agreement 1963". Kenapa tidak melaksanakan Perjanjian Malaysia sepenuhnya khasnya Artikel 8 yang akan bawa bersama 20-Perkara, IGC Report dll.
Itu minyak dari bumi Sabah siapa punya? Kenapa PR mesti bagi kita Sabah 20%? Kalau kamu fikir itu minyak Sabah punya, kamu patut berpendirian minyak Sabah punya, kita Sabah yang bagi mereka 20%. Bukan kah begitu kalau betul2 berjiwa dan berjuang demi hak Sabah.
Jangan kamu bodoh dan buta hanya pasal mau cari peluang dan jawatan serta hayat politik. Tepuk dada tanya selera, kamu betul2 "care for Sabah"?
mana si lajim peduli tu...yang penting bagi lajim ialah karier politiknya...umur sudah naik...makin tua...kesihatan juga mungkin tidak berapa memuaskan...tapi belum lagi merasa kerusi KM sabah...maka si lajim pun kena janji tu kerusi KM sabah maka dia keluar dari UMNO/BN...sekarang dia cakap besar konon rakyat di beaufort menyokong dia padahal dia lupa dulu dia tanding atas tiket UMNO/BN...rakyat sokong tu UMNO/BN, bukan lajim...kebetulan saja lajim calon BN pada masa tu...kalau bukan lajim pun, UMNO/BN tetap akan menang punya...
Deleteitu PKR/PR tu pun hanya berminat untuk menawan putrajaya selepas pru13 nanti...mana dia peduli pasal hak sabah sebagai rakan kongsi, perjanjian 20 perkara, royalti dan lain2...
Deletejgn percaya pada PKR, ia hnya brjuang untuk Anwar.
DeleteLepas dapat tawan Putrajaya, janji pembangkang ni jangan harap akan ditunai. kalau sekarang pun nampak janji tu tidak relevan, apa lagi bila sudah jadi kerajaan.
DeleteLajim sudah lupa dia sepatutnya berjuang untuk rakyat, bukannya diri sendiri. Pakatan tidak stabil pentadbirannya, terlampu banyak suara yang tidak seragam.
DeletePerjuangan PKR hanya untuk kepentigan sendiri sahaja.
Deletedulu semasa lajim lompat keluar dari PBS, pun perkara sama juga dia cakap...sekarang lompat keluar dari UMNO/BN pun perkara sama juga dia cakap..
ReplyDeleteLajim mmg pandai bermuka muka.
DeleteLajim cuma fikirkan kepentingan dia saja.
DeletePemimpin yang hanya utamakan kepentingan diri tidak layak untuk diundi oleh rakyat pada PRU nanti.
DeleteMuka tebal, asyik kritik kekurangan parti2 lain. Kekurangan sendiri tidak dilihat.
DeleteDulu tiada pihak memkritik Lajim, selepas Lajim keluar parti, semua menunjuk jari terhadap beliau.
DeleteSibuk kritik kerajaan, edangkan kerajaan berusaha membantu rakyat.
Deletebegitu byk pembangunan dikecapi oleh Sabah terutamnya di bawah kepimpinan Musa Aman.
ReplyDeletePelbagai program telah dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan termasuklah projek MESEJ, Ladang PPRT, Agropolitan, 1Azam, bantuan kewangan dan Amanah Saham Bumiputera untuk membantu rakyat tingkatkan taraf hidup.
ReplyDeleteBanyak projek dan program kerajaan anjurkan untuk rakyat dan pembangunan Sabah. Lajim sengaja butakan mata dan mengabur mata rakyat melalui kenyataannya.
DeleteDulu Lajim dalam kerajaan, kalau Lajim cakap macam tu. ertinya selama dia jadi menteri makan gaji buta saja la.
ReplyDeleteDari mana Musa Aman dapat duit yang di simpan di Swiss Bank? Di curi dari rakyat! Banyak hal yang memalukan dan berunsur jenayah akan terbongkar bila pembangkang ambil alih kerajaan.
ReplyDeletePlan for Sabah by Datuk Musa:
ReplyDelete"An amount of RM1.136 billion had also been disbursed out of the total RM1.39 billion under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) and Tenth Malaysia Plan (10MP) allocations which had been channelled to Sedia as of Sept 30,"
Datuk Musa Believe that investor is one of factors to have the economic scene in Sabah more develop.
ReplyDelete"These developments have encouraged more private investors to consider participating in new investment projects, Entry Point Projects (EPPs) and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Sabah,"
They they saying that BN did not care for Sabah, they must have an agenda to make a mess, and they did not realize the effort done by Govt:
ReplyDeleteThe Federal Government also has noted that generally, prices of essential goods in Sabah and Sarawak are higher compared with Peninsular Malaysia due to the high costs of delivery and distribution.
To reduce the costs and prices of goods, Musa said, the Government has introduced various initiatives, including the price uniformity programme, provision of transport subsidy as well as opening of Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia (KR1M).
Lajim sebenarnya terdesak dengan memberikan pelbagai kenyataan yang bukan-bukan. Kenapa Lajim mahu sangat kerusi Ketua Menteri? Mesti ada sebab.
ReplyDeleteBN govt does not care for Sabah or Lajim himself is blinded by his ego to accept the truth?
ReplyDeleteIni cuma pandangan lajim semata-mata. Harapkan beliau masih memperjuangkan yang terbaik untuk rakyat.
ReplyDeleteLajim sudah tidak sehaluan dengan Musa, lebih baik keluar parti.
ReplyDeleteMemang pun lajim sudah keluar parti, tertinggal cerita betul ko ni.. Lajim keluar parti sebab beliau ada agenda sendiri.
Delete"Having said this, our tourism is also one of the best products in the world. I think more and more people are realising the importance of Sabah, including those from China, with one of the country's top politicians on transit in the state recently," he added.
ReplyDeleteHe said FSM has called for the abolition of the Cabotage Policy to resolve the disparity in prices in Sabah and the Peninsula.
ReplyDeleteThe Cabotage Policy emphasises that only vessels registered in Malaysia are allowed to load and unload cargo in the ports of Malaysia.
