PBS Tandek vice chairman jumps to STAR

KOTA MARUDU: One of Datuk Maximus Ongkili’s strongman, the vice chairman of his PBS Tandek division, has jumped ship and joined STAR.

In a gathering in Tandek, near here, organized by STAR Tandek division last Friday, Mazuin Ganau declared his resolution to leave PBS and join STAR in front of STAR Sabah chairman, Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan and a 300-odd audience. The gathering was a continuation of STAR’s “Selamatkan Sabah Tanah Airku” campaign which was just launched in Kota Kinabalu.

“I have lost confidence in the struggle of PBS due to many factors,” Mazuin said. “The main one being the revelations in testimonies made by many people in the on-going RCI, which prove beyond doubt that BN leaders had deliberately issued ICs to illegals. PBS is now guilty of associating itself in this conspiracy, and it has become very quiet about the whole thing.”



He also expressed his disappointment with the Maximus for failing to resolve the longstanding land dispute in the area which had victimized a lot of the local land applicants. He said after many years it looks like the huge land area will eventually go into the hands of a company from outside Sabah.

Asked if there are any followers who will join him in STAR, Mazuin said he was in the process of collection the application forms from many PBS members who have decided to join STAR. “The total number should reach a few hundred,” he said. “We will have another function for the handing over of the application forms.”

On this, the STAR Information Chief, Edward Linggu, said this is just the beginning of more BN members joining STAR in part to prove that STAR is not breaking apart as claimed by the chief of Angkatan Perubahan Sabah (APS) chief, Datuk Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing.

“We have been made to understand that numerous PBS members are very disillusioned with their party especially after the revelations in the on-going RCI,” Linggu said. “Many are saying PBS is toothless in BN and unable to fight for the interests of the KDMs.

“And the announcement made by (PBS’ president, Tan Sri) Pairin that he was retiring from politics soon had also demoralized a lot of PBS members who feel that without Pairin the party will decline further,” Edward said. “And it is worth noting that Mazuin is a cousin of Datuk Maijol Mahap, the APS chief for Kota Marudu.”

Also in attendance was STAR Tandek's division chief Albert Majilang and the gathering's chief organizer Manjamis Tambou.

    A check with Papar found out that locals there also had heard of Sindu impending departure from the Sarawak-based opposition party. This is a big slap to Star leader in Sabah Dr Jeffrey Kitingan and his team who had been accused of sloppy management of the party here, some of them have said.

    Insiders in the know however claimed that Sindu could be unsettled in Star because the party has not made any commitment to him in regards to candidacy for the coming general election.

    THE STATEMENT by Dr Jeffry Kitingan confirms what I have suspected about his role and mission in approaching the 13th general election. As an opposition party STAR should be directing their attack to the Barisan Nasional instead they choose to attack fellow opposition parties. They only do this because STAR is working for BN to split the votes in the coming election.

    Jeffry Kitingan can’t find any other words to attack me apart from describing me of practising politics of ‘cari makan’. If l were to practise politic of 'cari makan' then the best platform would be to remain in BN.

    Generally, you wouldn't find it very ironic for someone who left the comfort of a ruling party like BN to join the the opposition camp and thereafter be labelled as practising politic 'cari makan'?

    Jeffry came to this desperate act because STAR is falling apart since the formation of APS. The dissolution of the Papar STAR is but the beginning.

    The people, particularly the KDM began to see the fruitless and almost fairy tale so-called vision of Jeffry Kitingan such as promising to move the capital of Sabah to Keningau and creating five ‘states’ in Sabah if STAR take control of the state after GE 13.

    All his political endeavour points to only one thing and that is, he is trapped in his never-quashed-ambition to be the only number one in any political party that he ever joined and his sheer belief, may be from spiritual guru prediction, that one fine day he is going to be the chief minister of Sabah.

    Way back during the PBS era, when Jeffry was released from ISA detention and confined to house arrest in Kuala Lumpur he was allowed to travel to Sabah briefly with the mission to persuade Datuk Pairin Kitingan then to step down as President of PBS and Chief Minister of Sabah and that he will take over the CM post from Pairin.

    He called me to have a meeting and I told him that he can come to meet me at my office at the Ministry of Communication and Works but he told me that he is not that free to move around as he is being followed because technically he is still under house arrest.

    So I agreed to travel to Tambunan to meet him. In the meeting he told me that he needed my support for him to take over PBS and the state government. I told him flat on his face that there is no way I condone the scheme. Therefore the meeting was brief and I came back and I was made to understand that he went back to Kuala Lumpur.

    I also still remember back in 1994 that he wanted to head Parti Democratic Sabah that we registered when he failed to register his own party. Failing this he also tried to wrest the presidency of PBRS but also failed.

    Then he thereafter caused big problem in AKAR when he tried to take over the presidency of AKAR. So he had ventured in so many a place to ‘cari makan’. But just ‘cari makan’ is not enough for him. He must have ‘ makan besar’.

    Jeffry Kitingan mentioned about ‘about certain people who are prepared to sell their soul to secure position’. Let me remind Jeffry, lest he forgot, about his own record. Has he not joined the Federal government as a Deputy Minister? Can he also explain to the people about his application twice to become an UMNO member?

    "Refering to my encounter with Jeffry in my house I asked Jeffry as to what he meant by a ‘King Maker’ and I asked him to explain about his statement that he is ready to support BN.

    He said that as a king maker he can bargain. I told him that if he is prepared to support BN then why bother to use STAR, might as well just join BN. Yes of course he won’t join any of the BN component parties because he will never be the number one there.

    Refering to Datuk Yong’s statement that I am not willing to negotiate with STAR I wish to clarify that there are several reasons for this. Firstly how do I negotiate with STAR when their leaders choose to attack me in the media.

    Secondly any negotiation with STAR will be fruitless as long as their stand is against parties from Semenanjung Malaysia. Thirdly Jeffry is a person who cannot keep confidential discussions.

    I remember during the PBS time we have initiated unity talk among PBS, AKAR and PBRS in KL. After the first round of discussion we have agreed not to reveal the discussion to the public as we have agreed to have further discussion in Sabah.

    However as soon as Jeffry landed in Sabah he revealed everything to the press. When I confronted him as to why he did not abide by our agreement he just merely said, “well the people need to be informed”.
