Momoguns unite!

To all my Momogun brothers and sisters: I know exactly what is in your mind and all that you feel I too feel it.  However, I want to tell you, and this comes from deep down in my heart, that this PRU13, we must overwhelmingly give our vote for SAPP.

Let me tell you why this is critical.

1)  For the first time in our history, we have a realistic chance to take control of our nation's government and only SAPP can do it because of their ideology of non-racial politic is attracting people of all races and religious background who are tired of the old ways of segregated politics and they want a new system of governmental implementation that unites Sabahans to guarantee modernization and economic prosperity based on fairness and equality for all.

Racial politics alone can no longer guarantee control of our government.  It is only with everyone's united participation can we form a true and strong Sabah government.

2)  Momogun people have been marginalized for the last 20 years and especially under UMNO-BN government.  This is a fact unless you are totally blind.  We cannot allow such marginalization to continue unless you want our children to continue to suffer and eventually become PTI in their own homeland.

SAPP will guarantee, we, the Momogun people of Sabah will never ever be marginalized again. They have the plans and the strategies to implement these programs to guarantee we will never be left behind ever again.  This party has been clear with our solutions such as Sabah IC (a simple yet brilliant idea), autonomy, NCR reformation, economic and social programs unlike any ever produced by a Sabah government.

Remember, what I am telling you are brilliant strategies that causes all the Malayan parties to quiver.  They know SAPP has the most formidable and brilliant strategists in all Sabah parties in Sabah history.  That is why you see them (and I mean all of them) attacking us every which way the can.  They know SAPP is a tremendous threat to them today.  This is the new SAPP!  They know the party's strength and they are helter skelter all over trying to pound SAPP into submission, but fear not, for SAPP is strong and unwavering in their resolve to once and for all to rid all these sharks from Malaya.

This party is prepared to go to the depths of hell to stand on our principles.  These are a new breed of leaders that will never again betray the trust of our people.  SAPP will never be like PBS/PBRS/UPKO who have let us down.  The old school of moronic politics of appeasement and corruption is a thing of the past.  It is time to move on to greener pastures.

Therefore, "tulun tokou", SAPP need you to stand firm with them.  They need your unwavering support.  Just as we will fight for you to the very end, we want you to stand solidly behind SAPP.  We need to draw that energy from your support.  At the end of the day, we must stand united.

The new breed of SAPP leaders are different than any ever produced in Sabah.  This is a promise you can count on.  This is the pride, dignity and integrity that I am telling you.  This is not a time to be petty and simple minded.  This is a time to show our true loyalty.  This is, as the saying by Victor Hugo states, "nothing can change an idea whose time has come."  This is our time!  Our generation will bring back the pride and dignity that we have sorely missed in the last 50 years.

3)  Momogun people we need you to stand firm with SAPP.  We are at the tipping point, our people must fill up the cup to seal the deal.  If we have any differences, we must take it up later, but for now we cannot afford to miss this opportunity of a lifetime.  We must break that cycle of "divide and rule" strategy by Party Malaya.  We cannot afford to waste our votes with any other party (especially Malayan and imported ones) at this time of our history because the solutions are with SAPP today.  This is the reality of our politics today.  We have everyone else on our side, now we just need to make sure we the Momogun people are not left behind. I say this with all sincerity in my heart.  Please seriously care to hear my plea without favor or prejudice.  We have nothing to lose with SAPP, and in fact everything to gain.
