Admission by DAP Sabah proved that its authority and power fully rests in the hands of their KL masters.
The shocking admission by Edwin Bosi that it was the DAP bosses in KL who caused the gross humiliation to the Kadazan women in Penampang by labelling them (the Kadazan women) as illegal immigrants (PATI) exposes the complete lack of authority and power by the Sabah DAP. Even the Ubah Sabah newspaper of DAP has to be written and edited in KL. What hope is there for Sabahans if DAP were to represent Sabah in KL?
By publishing in the official DAP newspaper Ubah Sabah the photos of Kadazans as PATI, DAP has once again proven that KL leaders just do not understand Sabah and they cannot even distinguish between illegal immigrants and local Kadazans.
It is a shame that Dr. Edwin Bosi has to apologise for the mistakes made by their bosses in KL - in fact, Sabah DAP should ask that the KL bosses be sacked for such an insult to Sabahans, especially Kadazans. Better still, Dr. Edwin Bosi, if he has any pride left as a Kadazan, should ask DAP to pack up and leave Sabah and stop insulting Sabahans. Sabah DAP leaders should stop cleaning the shit left behind by their KL bosses after each time they have come to Sabah. Like the DAP Deputy Chief Minister of Penang, Dr. Ramasamy who insulted Sabahans by saying that all immigration controls into Sabah from Malaya must be abolished.
The so-called apology by Dr. Edwin Bosi on behalf of DAP is also tainted with insincerity because Edwin implied that no shame has been caused to the Kadazan women by the DAP just because the names of the women were not mentioned but only the faces of the women were shown. If not because of SAPP taking up this issue on behalf of the women, Edwin and his DAP puppets would have just meekly kept quiet and not dared to even ask their KL bosses about this. So, DAP Sabah should thank SAPP for helping them to raise this matter.

KL, KL, KL saja, don't be parrots of KL, DO you think they really care about you???? think again.
ReplyDeleteKL = KARE LESS!
Delete50 YEARS OF POVERTY AND NOT SECURITY IN MALAYSIA!
That is very insulting.
ReplyDeleteA good reason to not vote for DAP!
DeleteHow to vote for a party that could not even distinguish the different between kadazan and PTI.
ReplyDeleteDAP should pack up and leave Sabah and stop insulting Sabahans.
DeleteBN/UMNO is a much better choice if compared to DAP.

ReplyDeleteIs DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteDemocratic Action Party, or better known as DAP was established in the 1960’s by Mr. Devan Nair. DAP declared to be irrevocably committed to the ideal of a free, democratic and socialist Malaysia, based on the principles of racial and religious equality, social and economic justice, and founded on the institution of parliamentary democracy.

ReplyDeleteIs DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity? Since Devan Nair, the only other Indian who rose to prominence in DAP is Karpal Singh. Since its establishment, no other Indian has held a top post in the party.

ReplyDeleteIf that is astounding, it is even more shocking that there has never been a Malay leader holding any top position in DAP. The nation’s most populated ethnic group has little or no say in DAP.
Is DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteTime and time again DAP has been accused of practising race-based politics. Despite the leaders of DAP claiming false to the allegations, results of the last DAP elections speak for itself. None of the Malay candidates who contested for a Central Executive Committee (CEC) position managed to get into the Top 20.

ReplyDeleteBefore a national uproar could occur, as an eye wash two Malay candidates were appointed to the CEC. Only time will reveal how much they can contribute with their representation. The number of Indian candidates also is kept to a bare minimum.

ReplyDeleteBeing a party that claims to be multi-racial the representation of non-Chinese ethnic group is a worrying sign. Till today we still see some members of DAP at war with its coalesced party PAS over the hudud issue. What if DAP-PKR-PAS does someday form the government? Are we, a small nation like Malaysia heading towards separation of states?
Is DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteThe biggest opposition party with the most amount of representation in parliament after Barisan Nasional seems to lack genuine multi-ethnic representation at the elected leadership level.
Is DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteDAP is definitely not practising multi-ethnicity as preached by their leaders. DAP will not represent and will not reflect the diverse cultures and beliefs which constitutes the people of Malaysia.
Is DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteIt will be a long time before the DAP becomes fully multi ethnic. You cannot find anything overtly racist in the DAP's constitution or in their stated objectives as a political party but they have not yet escaped the stigma of being overly Chinese-centric. That is why people see them as racist. For the record the DAP does have non-Chinese but as the writer says they are very few in number.
Is DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteOther than the BN, there is no real multi ethnicity in party politics in Malaysia (except maybe for the PPP - Kayveas punya party and some of the parties in Sabah and Sarawak but you can argue that point as well). By the same measure (which we used for the DAP) all the political parties in Malaysia are "mono-ethnic" to an extent.
Is DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteThe political reality is a Malay / Muslim must provide leadership to any multi-ethnic political party in Malaysia. This is NOT by Law or by the Constitution but just a reflection of the reality on the ground. And he or she must be genuinely committed to multi ethnicism. So far this formula has worked quite ok. It is not ok but it still works.
Is DAP really upholding their principles of multi-ethnicity?
ReplyDeleteThis reality will only change if a non Malay / non Muslim leader emerges who can win the trust of the majority Malays. Just figurehead Malays / Muslims playing the Ali Baba leadership role will lead to trouble. This was the situation in the country prior to 1970.
The KDM earlier leader members who started the bumiputera entrance into Sabah DAP are now beginning to feel sidelined by the national leadership as they are not represented in the National Central Executive Committee (CEC).
ReplyDeleteDAP KDM original members have no representatives in the CEC.This is a major oversight by the national leadership although they want to portray a really multi-racial opposition party of Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteThis has been going on and on and many KDM are beginning to feel that they are not given the respect or chance to voice out their opinions and contributions for Sabah in the party.
ReplyDeleteHow can Sabah bumiputera participate in national leadership without a platform?
ReplyDeleteThis will lead to an exodus of bumiputera leaving the party as they feel that the national leaders do not care for the Sabah bumiputera contributions and struggles in the party.
ReplyDeleteIn numerous meetings, gatherings, conventions, congress and discussions throughout Sabah, the Chinese language or Mandarin has been predominantly used.
ReplyDeleteThese had resulted in many bumiputera finding it very hard or impossible to understand, thus causing them to be disinterested and disillusioned.
DeleteLim Guan Eng and Lim Kit Siang have been making many trips to get more and more support especially from bumiputera in Sabah for the 13th general election.
ReplyDeleteThey will be wasting their time if the attitude of the Sabah Dapsy youth is to fence them away from the people who want to be closer and will support the party national leadership.
ReplyDeleteThe bumiputera members want to actively participate and be a part of Sabah DAP growth.But if their participation is not valued, they are brushed aside and not represented by the KDM original leaders who helped built Sabah DAP bumiputera, then it will be useless for them to continue supporting the struggle to assist DAP on the road to Putrajaya.
