SAPP president Yong Teck Lee said the authorities should clear his name over allegations linking him to the Lahad Datu incursions.
KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah chief minister Yong Teck Lee wants answers from new Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for his election-period claims that three opposition leaders were linked to the Lahad Datu incursion that took place in February.
Yong said Saturday that Zahid should now disclose the names of the three, one of whom is from Sabah, who he had alleged were involved in the invasion that had led to so many deaths on both sides.
The Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) leader said that all Malaysians, as well as those the minister had cast aspersions on during his election campaign “disclosures”, were now eager to know more about his serious allegations and what action the government planned to take.
“Instead of making even more irresponsible statements like asking Malaysians to leave the country if they do not like Malaysia’s political system, the new Home Minister, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, should without any further delay fulfil his promise to disclose the names of the three opposition leaders, one of whom is in Sabah, whom Zahid had alleged to have been involved in the Philippine Sulu incursion at Lahad Datu,” he said.
Zahid, the Defence Minister in the previous cabinet, had on April 27, a week before polling day, said that his ministry had identified the culprits behind the armed intrusion by Sulu terrorists in Lahad Datu.
He claimed that two of the three suspects are from opposition parties based in the peninsula while the other one was in Sabah. He however added that action would only be taken against the three opposition leaders after the general election.
Yong, who was on the campaign trail himself at the time, had immediately urged Zahid to name the suspects as he himself had been questioned by police in connection with a meeting he had at a hotel in Kota Kinabalu last October.
Noting that the alleged involvement is a treasonous act against the country and for waging war against the Agong and is punishable by death, Yong said Zahid’s claim has cast a heavy psychological burden on all possible suspects, including himself.
Yong also recalled that Zahid’s startling “disclosures” coincidently came after he (Yong) had during the campaign spoken extensively on the Philippines’ claim on Sabah with the aid of Philippine maps that showed Sabah as its territory.
Yong said that if the government had no evidence, the authorities should clear his name.

HOME MINISTERS WHO SPEW BULLSHIT GET THE SAME FAECES THROWN BACK IN THEIR FACES!
ReplyDeleteIt is mendacious of UMNO point scorers to keep playing the same boring but provocative broken record of diverting the blame with use of bogeymen.
It is beyond incredible that any one would believe that 3 opposition leaders could in few short weeks convince the Sulus to invade Sabah. Considering that the Sulu may not even listen to a couple of them if they were not of the same UMNO shade of brotherhood.
YTL should really be demanding answers as to:-
1. Why did the foreign Malayan government fail so spectacularly in its Malaysia formation" promises to defend Sabah security?
2. How does the unpopular UMNO government justify the billions of Sabah/Sarawak oil money spent on defence expenditure such as unsinkable submarines and failed to prevent the Sulu invasion?"
3. Why did UMNO government compromise Sabah Security by using our money since 1970s to give safe haven, financing and training foreign insurgent groups in Sabah including the BSRA and MNLF whose leader said they are familiar with the Sabah terrain?
WHY INDEED?!
The other example of dangerous bullshit is made by the so-called "Home Affairs Minister" who said if people are not happy in Malaysia they should leave "home".
This again is more of the same divide and rule Nazi shit they have spewed for over 50 years.
Firstly, Malaya Sabah and Sarawak are 3 countries in Malaysia and they each belongs to people born and bred in these countries. So where can they go?
For a start we know that Malayan interlopers and their army in Sabah and Sarawak can go back to Malaya and please take all your "illegals" brothers with you.
Someone has just made these very succinct points:
Zahid Hamidi: Those who are unhappy with the country's political ....should migrate elsewhere.
Fugitive Raja, Petra Kamarudin: I don't like Islam. Can I leave the Faith?
Sabah and Sarawak: We don't like Malaysia, the political system and ketuanan Melayuism. We want to leave the Federation.
No truer words ever said before!
