SIPITANG - Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) strives to be fair to everyone, said its Deputy President Hj Amde Sidik in Kampong Iburu about 80 km from Sipitang town yesterday.
The group of SAPP CLC (Constituency Liaison Committee) N28 Sindumin earlier visited a few other kampongs including Long Pasia with their campaign message “SAPP bawa Perubahan” (SAPP brings Change).
"In as far as things are within our jurisdiction we want to make sure people should be given the taste of fruit of democracy we all talk about," he said.
According to Helen (not her real name) of Kg Iburu, BN is good at making promises, yet their YBs seldom visit Iburu, soon after the general election was over, they all disappeared only to come out again in the next General Election with another promise, none other than bringing blue plastic water tanks, now with sticker 1Malaysia on it, she said.
Helen thinks this is may be because BN is not a local party and they do not really understand us a part from nothing to benefit by looking after our kampong, she said.
In response Hj Amde Sidik said, "of course we know BN has not been fair to us we Murut, Lundayeh and Lunbawang alike can only dream to be treated fairly, in reality no matter how smart our people are, having the same brown skin does no meant we get the same treatment, compare with America where a black Obama can become President of the nation. We are nowhere near and it would not happen in our lifetime. As of now their reason is, we have social contract to abide by, wonder if those loudmouths really understand what they say?"
Iburu has the largest concentration of Murut community in a single kampong in Sipitang.
NO SIREE!
ReplyDeleteWE ONLY EXCHANGED WHITE SKIN COLONIAL MASTERS FOR BROWN SKIN ONES FROM MALAYA!
Same colour does not mean equality!
Brown skin Malayans treat us brown skin Borneans as third class colonial subject not even citizens.
We get last preference for scholarships and jobs and promotions.
They Malayanised and dominate our lives instead of Borneonise as said in th 20 Points Agreement.
The new brown skin masters are enjoying our oil wealth as they laze in the sun.
The white colonial masters were right- they are a lazy good for nothing bunch of bandits!
Umno, which is committed in championing the cause of the Malays and Bumiputera, has never marginalised the other races, and the development agenda, in fact, encompasses all ethnic groups including the minority, said Barisan Nasional (BN) component party leaders.

DeleteThey said that Umno, which forms the backbone of the BN, constantly ensured that all aid programmes implemented by the government benefitted all the races in the country.
MCA vice-chairman Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak not only endeavoured to mobilise the economic transformation of all races but also looked after the welfare and interests of all Malaysians regardless of race.

DeleteLim, who is also deputy finance minister, said these included the granting of various initiatives to the low-income group such as the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) and book vouchers to students to ease their burden.
"It's appropriate for the leader of a multi-racial nation to be fair in granting aid to the people. After 55 years of independence, the people in the country have enjoyed development under the BN rule," he told Bernama when contacted, here Friday.

DeleteThe member of parliament for Kapit, Sarawak, Datuk Alexandar Nanta Linggi said although there was no Umno in Sarawak, the BN under Najib's leadership had given allocations and various facilities for the benefit of the people in Sarawak including in the rural areas.
Delete"The prime minister has intensified efforts to develop Sarawak, particularly in the rural areas, including the construction of roads, providing water pipelines and electricity power," he said.
DeleteGerakan deputy secretary-general Liang Teck Meng said the prime minister had fulfilled what had been pledged to ensure that all races were looked after in eradicating poverty in the country.
"The prime minister, as the Umno leader, has never marginalised any ethnic group although his party champions the Malay cause. What is apparent in his policy speech yesterday is the assurance he had given, that the party always looks after the welfare of all races in the country.

Delete"Thus, it is proper that we, as component parties of the BN, work together in defending Putrajaya so that there is continuity that can ensure prosperity for Malaysia," he said.
DeleteMeanwhile, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Youth head Datuk Jahid Jahim described Umno as a party that was ahead in championing the cause of the other races compared to the other parties, including the DAP and PAS.
Jahid, who is also the Sabah Assistant Minister of Youth and Sports, said Umno had never marginalised the other races, and in fact had considered the other ethnic groups such as the Kadazan, Dusun and Murut in Sabah as its partners.

DeleteParti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president Tan Sri Dr James Jemut Masing said Umno was more inclusive in implementing the national development agenda.
"It's understandable that Umno struggles for the Malays and Bumiputera as it is an ethnic-based party. However, Umno being the backbone of BN, the implementation must be inclusive especially in religious and economic aspects," he said.
DeleteWhere's the democracy? we are Malaysia known as democracy country. Never compare either u are white skin, black or brown. Hope this skin color doesnt treat our peace and harmony especially in Sabah.
