KOTA KINABALU - Autonomy for Sabah is what Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) is fighting for, said its president Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee.
The principle of autonomy is not negotiable and if a formula to achieve autonomy can be worked out with other opposition parties, both from the peninsula and local opposition parties including Sabah STAR, then all should be able to move forward, Yong said.
Yong also said he was willing to contest under a Pakatan Rakyat coalition member symbol as long as they can accept the fact that there must be autonomy for Sabah.
Yong who was met at SAPP’s annual Chinese New Year open house on Monday said this when asked if it was acceptable for him that the party not contest in the 13th general election should Pakatan Rakyat gives the state autonomy and also issues Sabah identity card.
“If our manifesto including Sabah identity card and autonomy for Sabah can be accepted by Malaya parties, even I, Yong Teck Lee can contest under PKR symbol. Are you happy? Even I, Yong Teck Lee, can contest under PKR symbol if Anwar will promise autonomy in the Malaysia Agreement, in the Kuching Declaration and issue Sabah IC,” he said.
Meanwhile on the issue of different statements from PKR leaders and Pakatan Rakyat leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on the matter of seats discussion with SAPP, Yong said what was said was confusing.
“I have read in the last three days from Azmin Ali and Tian Chua that negotiations no longer include SAPP but now Anwar said he is still hopeful for some kind of compromise and he really wants SAPP to team up with Pakatan.
“These are the kind of very confusing, conflicting messages that we get from various Pakatan leaders and PKR.
That makes life very difficult in our planning for the election. Our door is always open, only that we already have three senior leaders from Pakatan including APS president Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Bumburing saying that the door is closed, Azmin saying that PKR no more negotiating with SAPP and from Tian Chua that they are not worried about SAPP because SAPP will not be taking away votes from PKR.
“Our door is still open even when we heard that Azmin Ali closed the door, we say that ours is still open. There is no need to close any doors before the dissolution of parliament and state assembly.
“Anwar has re-opened the door that Azmin, Bumburing and Tian Chua had closed. We welcome Anwar reopening the door… our door has never been closed,” Yong stressed.
SAPP, he pointed out would like to have something more concrete, more solid, and added that the party’s stand was that seats division is negotiable but autonomy for Sabah is not.
According to Yong, Anwar in April last year did say that the majority of Sabah state seats could be contested by Sabah state parties and he also mentioned SAPP.
Now the exact formula on seats division needed to be worked out, he said.
Yong disclosed that SAPP’s first meeting with PKR was with Azmin Ali and Ansari in June 2009, when Azmin was appointed Sabah chairman, he was also the party national vice-chairman.
“After that there has been six changes of PKR chairmen for Sabah. In between the time of Dr Wan Azizah, I was informed by Azmin that Thamrin will also convey the formula to me. Now we have another statement from Azmin saying what we asked for is unreasonable so these are all very conflicting and confusing signals. We hope it should be cleared up in the next few days,” he said.
On the possibility of SAPP working with Sabah STAR should the deal with Pakatan Rakyat not work out, Yong said the party’s discussion with Pakatan and PKR is concurrent with its discussion with Sabah STAR.
“We are not excluding anybody. As I said before, there are some areas where Sabah STAR is much stronger than other opposition parties and there are some areas where PKR is stronger. PKR also admits that some areas where SAPP is stronger, therefore I think we should be wise enough to take into consideration the local strength of each party so that we don’t clash into all the areas.
“At the same time we are saying that the principle of autonomy is not negotiable, meaning that the state government must be formed and decided by the people of Sabah, not appointed by Kuala Lumpur. That is the core principle,” he said, adding that he made this clear to Azmin in 2009.
To a question if the deal was not working out the way they had hoped because of APS and PPPS, Yong was of the opinion that the whole formula with regards to the two NGOs headed by Bumburing and Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin was “very confusing”.
“That formula about NGOs masquerading as political parties and therefore contesting under the PKR symbol, how it works has never been explained. I am very confident that this is very confusing to SAPP as it is to PKR members.
“How does that work that PPPS, registered NGO and APS, unregistered NGO will also be contesting under PKR as a political grouping, how does this work? It has never happened before in Malaysia. That has to be explained, to be worked out.
“So does it mean that after the election they will be free to leave the opposition? Does it mean that Lajim may freely be allowed to change allegiance? As a group, they are not a political party. These are the things that have to be cleared up,” he stressed.
He also disclosed that in a meeting with Thamrin last year, SAPP was first offered six state seats and four parliamentary seats.
“I did not even bother to bring this to my supreme council because this is not even a decent proposal. Now Tian Chua says 60 state seats divided by six opposition parties under Pakatan and that means 10 each, it sounds like a perfect divide and rule.
“I have proposed this to SAPP Supreme Council for discussion. So the decision is that there is no hurry to make a decision on such a formula. We should tell them that we are standing for autonomy.
“It is not just the number of seats. It is also the principles that you fight for. For instance, with 10 seats and even if we win all the 10 seats, can you issue Sabah identity card with 10 seats? Pakatan will be contesting for 50 seats….they are going to contest in the whole of Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak.
“In Sabah they want to contest in 50 of the 60 state seats, leaving 10 to SAPP and none to Sabah STAR.
Do you expect SAPP to be able to issue Sabah identity card with 10 seats? Can we hope for autonomy with 10 seats?
Can we implement reforms with 10 seats? It is not just seats, it is the principles and struggles that we are standing for,” Yong stressed.

I agree, autonomy should be the number one priority. Sabah was supposed to benefit from joining Malaysia. But clearly the Peninsular has been ripping us off for decades. Where is our Petronas Twin Towers? Where is our high speed rail? In fact, for some time we didn't even have a general hospital! Even after the hospital has been completed, it has been declared unsafe, and experienced serious power failures! The Emergency Unit even had to stop accepting patients!
ReplyDeleteWhat century are we living in? Face the facts, the current government doesn't give a shit about us! We are only their FIXED DEPOSIT!
Take back everything, especially our oil, if possible all RM136.8 billion (per year) of it!
Common lah, Pakatan, please be realistic, have you guys learnt the lession from last general election?
ReplyDeleteyou wanna grasp everything and leaving nothing for the people of Sabah Sarawak... you calling for Refomasi and ignoring the plea-ing of the people of Sabah Sarawak ? what a big hypocrites !
Whoever became the next government, we are going down to the street to demand the RESTORATION of the RIGHTS of SABAH SARAWAK, this is a civil movement by the people of Sabah Sarawak !
please support the coming event on 916 !

ReplyDeleteBerbelit-belit lidah Datuk Yong Teck Lee bila menyedari partinya semakin dipinggirkan bukan sahaja oleh rakyat Sabah malah oleh parti pembangkang terbesar negara ini.
Menurut Azmin Ali, hasil rundingan sebelum ini (antara PR dan SAPP), PR bersetuju memberikan SAPP 10 kerusi. Namun sebagai pemimpin yang sinonim dengan gelaran tamak, hipokrit dan opportunist, Datuk Yong Teck Lee tidak bersetuju dengan jumlah kerusi itu memandangkan bagi beliau SAPP adalah parti yang paling KUAT dan BERPENGARUH di Sabah dan layak bertanding di 40 kerusi.
DeleteDatuk Yong Teck Lee sepatutnya tidak mempunyai masalah mengkaji semula populariti parti beliau kerana keputusan PRK Batu Sapi telahpun memberikan jawapan bahawa SAPP bukan pilihan rakyat di negeri ini.
DeleteBertitik tolak dari situ, SAPP sepatutnya lebih akur dengan kehendak PR, bukan PR yang perlu akur dengan kehendak Datuk Yong Teck Lee yang beriya-iya mahu merampas jawatan ketua menteri Sabah .
DeleteMungkin Datuk Yong Teck Lee agak tertekan apabila semua pihak cuba menuding jari kepada beliau ekoran kegagalan rundingan pembangkang Sabah bagi mengadakan satu lawan satu menentang BN, maka Datuk Yong Teck Lee terpaksa membuat kenyataan yang bersifat memohon simpati kononnya beliau sanggup bertanding dibawah tiket PKR jika Anwar bersetuju memberikan kuasa autonomi kepada Sabah.
Delete“Kami boleh berunding tentang pengagehan kerusi, tapi autonomi Sabah tidak boleh dirunding. Malah, saya, Yong Teck Lee, sanggup bertanding atas tiket PKR sekiranya Anwar berjanji akan memberi autonomi kepada Sabah,” bohong beliau
DeleteJika benar Datuk Yong Teck Lee lebih concern dengan autonomi Sabah, kenapa rundingan sejak 6 bulan lalu antara SAPP dan PR hanya menjurus kepada pengagihan kerusi? Dan, kenapa Datuk Yong Teck Lee menuntut 40 kerusi dari PR sedangkan beliau bersedia bertanding dibawah tiket PKR? Bukankah ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa Datuk Yong Teck Lee sekadar mahu memanipulasikan keadaan yang semakin TIDAK memihak kepada beliau?
DeleteApa-apapun, bersedialah menerima kekalahan selepas PRU-13 nanti. Rakyat Sabah tentunya akan menolak mana-mana parti yang sikap tamak pemimpin-pemimpinnya lebih dulu tersembul keluar berbanding dengan keikhlasan mereka membantu rakyat.
Delete--sepatutnya ayat Datuk Yong Teck Lee berbunyi macam ni, "Kami boleh berunding tentang pengagehan kerusi, tetapi tidak untuk jawatan Ketua Menteri"--
DeleteTHESE SPAM COMMENTS AGAINST AUTONOMY ONLY REVEALS A SERVILE COLONIAL MENTALITY THAT WANTS TO CONDEMN SABAH SHOULD BE RULED BY MALAYA!
DeleteMANY web writers have started to call Malaysia a hell hole dug by up Britain and Malaya to put Sabah and Sarawak.
50 years of direct Kuala Lumpur domination and rule with typical colonial plunder has left many of us felling that we had indeed been sold ponzi scheme called "Malaysia".
Sabahans WHAT was the point of Sabah gaining independence on 31 August 1963 and losing it to come under Malayan colonial rule on 16 September 1963?
The issue of Autonomy underlines all the fears of the Sabah Sarawak people that they would be dominated by Malaya and that they would be merely exchanging the British colonial master for the Malayan clone version.
SAPP may be criticised for having once been a stooge party of the Peninsular colonisers but at least it had enough conscience to leave UMNO BN and not continue to participate in its plunder of Sabah.
If all Sabahans can take this approach of rejecting Malayan domination, Sabah will then be a freeier and happier place.
But that can only be achieved when we have cleared out all the Malayan colonial scumbags and their slavish local traitors.
Only then can both Sabah and Sarawak be free in the real sense of the word. Free and independent!

Seems like there is no more room of discussion.
ReplyDeleteSabah Progressive Party deputy president Amdee Sidik yesterday felt that the so-called seat allocation talks with Parti Keadilan Rakyat were more of a “dictation than discussion”.
ReplyDeleteHe said when PKR deputy president Azmin Ali and vice president Tian Chua announced that the discussion with SAPP was closed, it looked as though they were giving the Sabah-based opposition an ultimatum to stay away from Pakatan Rakyat.
ReplyDeleteWe are then labelled as unreasonable, if not stubborn. But, actually, SAPP has been deliberately responding only mildly on any unfriendly statements made in the media by fellow opposition in the past few weeks.
ReplyDelete“The idea behind the silence was to avoid giving conflicting signals to Sabah voters
ReplyDeleteSAPP leaders have been accused of being arrogant and uncooperative lots but those who have been following the struggle of the party are unlikely to be perturbed by such remarks
ReplyDeleteSAPP leaders have been following through for the purpose of seeking ways to consolidate teamwork with both PKR and Sabah State Reform Party (Sabah Star), but stood firm in maintaining the principle of the struggle for ‘Sabah Autonomy’ with reference to Malaysian Agreement signed in 1963.
ReplyDeleteSAPP believes this is the opportune time for Sabahans to change the government which has been ruling the state for the past 50 years, resulting in massive abuses of state resources, in particular land.
ReplyDeleteSAPP Youth chief Edward Dagul had asked PR leaders to spell out how many seats PR wanted SAPP to field in the forthcoming general election.
ReplyDeleteAmdee said the idea behind the question was to allow us to share what SAPP has lined up, their plans which had been in place for over three years, long before any other opposition parties’ existence.n-sapp/#ixzz2KsPHBhys
ReplyDeleteSemakin gigih YTL berusaha untuk mendapat sokongan rakyat. Lama-lam amacam kesian pula tengok:P
ReplyDeleteRakyat memang mahukan yang terbaik untuk Sabah dan demi mecapai semua kebaikan itu maka pemimpin yang ikhlas dan berjiwa rakyat adalah penting. Dalam hal ini YTL belum tentu dapat membuktikan dirinya adalah calon yang terbaik utk Sabah.

ReplyDeleteTeck Lee Tak Layak Jadi Pemimpin – Rosnah
ReplyDeleteKetua Pergerakan Puteri UMNO, Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin melihat Presiden Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP), Datuk Yong Teck Lee yang menjadi calon parti itu bagi Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Parlimen Batu Sapi pada 4 November ini sebagai seorang yang tidak layak menjadi pemimpin.
Katanya, Teck Lee adalah seorang calon yang telah berada dalam banyak parti, selalu melompat-lompat, berbelit-belit dan tidak berpendirian selain selalu membuat kenyataan berbeza-beza.
“Semua orang tahu siapa Teck Lee dan bagaimana dia berperanan sebagai seorang individu yang gemar mengambil kesempatan untuk mempopularkan diri sendiri,” katanya kepada umno-online.
Ujar Rosnah yang juga Ahli Parlimen Papar memberitahu bahawa peribadi Teck Lee sendiri telah menjadi bukti bahawa dirinya tidak layak bergelar pemimpin.
“Dia adalah seorang yang cukup terkenal di negeri Sabah sebagai seorang ahli politik yang pandai mengambil kesempatan atas kesempitan,” katanya.
Tegas Rosnah lagi, Sabah tidak perlukan pemimpin yang hanya pentingkan diri sendiri seperti Yong Teck Lee.
Yong Teck Lee telah Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) pada tahun 1985 dan mula terlibat secara serius dalam dunia politik sehingga diberi kepercayaan memegang jawatan Timbalan Presiden PBS pada 30 September 1989.
Teck Lee kemudian bertindak meninggalkan parti dan pantas menubuhkan sebuah parti baru iaitu SAPP pada 19 Januari 1994 dengan membuka keahlian kepada semua kaum bagi menyaingi PBS.
Teck Lee berhadapan dengan perbicaraan Mahkamah Pilihan Raya apabila didakwa terbabit melanggar peraturan semasa kempen pilihan raya keputusan Mahkamah Pilihan Raya memutuskan beliau bersalah.
Beliau tidak dibenarkan bertanding dalam pilihan raya selama lima tahun sehingga tempoh larangan itu pada 2007.

Here is how I see it. The current government is bad. Maybe not so bad for Malaya, but for Sabah, we are clearly only a fixed deposit, a cash cow to milk until dry. Consider the hundreds of billions of oil taken from Sabah by the federal government for decades, leaving only 5% for Sabah. In Indonesia, the government leaves 70% of the oil from provinces. This is Sabah, separated by a sea. We have a very good reason to be NOT a part of Malaysia because we are so far from the Peninsular where the "big bosses" are. It would have made more sense for Sabah to be a part of Indonesia! You don't have to be a genius to figure out what this means. We got a SHIT deal and have been smiling about it for decades.
ReplyDeleteBN tries to fool us by giving BR1M but that is only micro change compared to what they took from us. Is RM100 going to stop poverty? I'm sorry but it sounds like a very unfunny joke to me. Sabahans are nice people, but it's time to turn that smile upside down and give the finger to the colonizers.
IF SAPP is as bad or worse than the current government, I STILL prefer to have Sabahans in charge instead of Malaya colonizers. At least if they want to be corrupt, it would be our own people corrupting this place instead of Malaya corruptors. That would still be a step up for me.
So for me, any Malaya party is an automatic no go no matter what because I no longer have patience for them.
That being said, I don't think SAPP is out to corrupt everything. Their manifesto looks solid. I will give them a chance, because I don't know how to run a government and I can't find a better party.
Jeffrey Kitingan’s advice to Anwar Ibrahim is this: Go read your history on the formation of Malaysia and the agreements made.
ReplyDeleteThe maverick politician said that the Pakatan Rakyat coalition leader’s statement on autonomy for Sabah was misplaced and incorrect.
ReplyDelete“It also shows that he doesn’t know what he was talking about or deliberately ignores the agreement, the promises and the assurances made by the Founding Fathers of Malaysia,” said Jeffrey in response to Anwar’s statement on Sabah autonomy.
ReplyDeleteHe contended that the issue of autonomy for Sabah and Sarawak is “not a matter of federal policy as indicated by Anwar but a special condition agreed at the time of the formation of Malaysia and is spelt out in the 20-Points, the Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) Report as well as under Article 8 of the Malaysia Agreement”.
ReplyDelete“What Anwar said is totally wrong with regard to Sabah and Sarawak and reflects his old Ketuanan Melayu mentality and attitude towards the East Malaysian States,’ he said.
ReplyDeleteSAPP president Yong Teck Lee is adamant that the party must stick to its principle that a Sabah-based party must take the majority of the state assembly seats.
ReplyDeleteMistrust and uncertainty within Sabah’s opposition politics could well indeed translate into a free-for-all fight at the coming general election.
ReplyDeleteSabah Progressive Party (SAPP) supreme council met in Likas near here and snippets leaked out indicated that things may not be going too well with its alliance with PKR-led Pakatan Rakyat.
ReplyDeleteInsider information noted that party president Yong Teck Lee implied that if things don’t work out as it should, then SAPP could well be on a collision course with its newly-found allies PKR and DAP in many seats.
ReplyDeletePKR, emboldened by its recent coup of two BN’s defector parliamentarians in Wilfred Bumburing and Lajim Ukin, is unlikely to concede much to Yong and Chinese-based SAPP.
ReplyDeletePembangkang di Sabah kelihatan berada diambang perpecahan terbesar dengan Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) dan dua sekutu baru Pakatan Rakyat (PR) dalam peperangan mulut yang boleh menggagalkan impian mereka merampas negeri itu pada Pilihan Raya 2013.
ReplyDeleteDengan Datuk Yong Teck Lee dari SAPP di satu pihak, dan bekas orang kuat Barisan Nasional (BN) Datuk Seri Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing dan Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin di pihak yang lain, kedua-dua puak secara terbuka berperang mulut dan salah menyalahkan, dengan setiap pihak menuduh yang lain tamak politik dan enggan bersatu menentang BN.
ReplyDeleteBumburing dan Lajim, kedua-dua ahli parlimen, kini masing-masing memimpin Angkatan Perubahan Sabah (APS) dan Pertubuhan Pakatan Perubahan Sabah (PPPS), dua pergerakan politik mesra PR- dibentuk tahun lalu selepas meninggalkan jawatan dalam BN.
ReplyDeleteYong telah menyamakan Bumburing dan Lajim seperti kerbau yang dicucuk hidung, mendakwa kedua-duanya melobi kawan baru PR mereka di Semenanjung untuk bertanding dalam pilihan raya.
ReplyDeletePakatan Rakyat (PR) telah secara rasmi mengeluarkan Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) dari rundingan kerusi pembangkang di Sabah, Mohamed Azmin Ali mengesahkan, menegaskan permintaan parti tersebut tidak munasabah untuk dilayan.
ReplyDeleteTimbalan Presiden PKR itu memberitahu The Malaysian Insider di peringkat negeri, PR dengan sekutu baru di Sabah Angkatan Perubahan Sabah (APS) dan Pertubuhan Pakatan Perubahan Sabah (PPPS) — hampir bersetuju dengan formula perkongsian kerusi mereka.
ReplyDeleteYong mengatakan parti PR berasaskan Semenanjung boleh bertanding di majoriti kerusi Parlimen untuk membantu mereka menawan Putrajaya tetapi mengekalkan pentadbiran negeri kepada parti yang berakar umbi di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteBeliau mengatakan ini selari dengan semangat Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 yang menjamin autonomi negeri tersebut.
ReplyDeletepermintaan Yong untuk 40 atau separuh daripada 60 kerusi negeri adalah tidak munasabah.
ReplyDeleteSAPP bertanding di bawah BN pada pilihan raya umum 2008, parti itu hanya memenangi dua kerusi Parlimen dan dua kerusi dewan undangan negeri. SAPP secara rasmi menarik diri dari BN pada September 2008 dan menjadi sebuah parti bebas.
