Dr Chong Eng Leong, a former Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) politician who authored a book about Project IC, claimed that Musa chaired a task force back in 1991 which was designed to register foreigners as Umno members after giving them citizenship.
"When Umno first entered Sabah, this task force was formed, and the chief was none other but Musa Aman himself," Chong said during proceedings today.
Similar to a claim made by Sabah opposition politician Jeffrey Kitingan yesterday at the RCI, Chong also said that the project IC exercise was done in order to increase the Muslim population in Sabah.
"This has nothing to do with race or religion. This is pure politics," he said, noting that a sharp increase in the Malay population is Sabah allowed Umno to take foothold of Sabah.
According to Chong, between 1970 and 2000, in a span of 30 years, the Malay population in Sabah saw a sharp growth rate of 1,552 percent.
This is almost 10 times the growth rate of the Kadasan, Dusun, and Murut native communities, and also significantly higher than the 344 percent growth posted by the Bajau community.
Chong (right) said that this growth cannot be attributed to the rural Sabahans registering themselves late due to a previous lack of access to government offices.
"If that was true, why is there no sharp increase in the Kadazan, Dusun and Murut communities?" he asked.
"Why is the Malay population growing the highest?" he said.
He said that Umno had already "achieved its target" in boosting the population, because the state now has 33 Muslim-majority state seats, which is more than the number of Chinese majority and non-Muslim bumiputra majority seats.
Musa memainkan peranan penting dalam penubuhan RCI, dia amat menyokong RCI ditubuhkan.
ReplyDeleteMusa Aman yang telah meyakinkan semua pihak dalam UMNO untuk menerima penubuhan RCI yang mana akan memberi kebaikan Sabah. Di bawah kepimpinan dan bimbingan dia sekarang RCI telah ditubuhkan.
dakwaan mengatakan beliau terlibat dalam projek IC tidak boleh kita percayai secara terus.
kita perlu meneliti keseluruhan siasatan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) terhadap masalah pendatang tanpa izin di Sabah sebelum membuat sebarang kesimpulan. kita tidak boleh membuat kesimpulan awal dengan hanya mendengar keterangan saksi yang telah memberi kenyataan dalam RCI.
If Musa is involved, he wouldn't be supporting the setting of RCI in the first place. Clearly, he is being framed here.
DeleteDr Chong wanting to stand in the light again. Sorry man, we don't need a sissy like you. Framing is not accepted in this society.
DeleteCuma mereka yang terlibat yagn tahu apakah yang berlaku.
DeleteMungkin ada tujuan yang tidak diketahui.
DeleteMusa aman tidak perlu takut kerana dia memang tidak terlibat, lagipun musa aman amat menyokong penubuhan RCI. dakwaan chong perlu ada bukti yang kukuh, kita tidak boleh p.ercaya pada dakwaan tidak berasas seperti ini
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing for Musa to be afraid of since there is no evidence that could prove chong's statement. After all, what is a statement without a prove?
DeleteIt's said to see a politician like this trying to drag each other down. They should work together to bring prosperity to the state, not trying to put rope on other's neck.
DeleteTakut kerana bersalah. RCI akan buat terbaik untuk membuktikan kebenaran.
DeleteJika Musa terlibat, sudah pasti RCI akan mengesan sesuatu. Serahkan kepada RCI untuk menentukannya.
Deletesetahu saya Musa amat menyokong penubuhan RCI, beliau memainkan peranan penting dalam penubuhan RCI. kerajaan negeri Sabah di bawah pimpinan beliau penduduk Sabah telah menandatangani surat rayuan (petition) untuk merayu kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan supaya ditubuhkan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) demi untuk menyelesaikan masalah PTI yang sudah sampai jumlah ratusan ribu di Sabah. dan akhirnya kerajaan persekutuan bersetuju untuk menubuhkan RCI.
ReplyDeleteMengenai penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja (RCI) bukanlah perkara baru. Berkenaan dengan ini telah diusahakan sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu. tapi semasa Musa aman menjadi ketua menteri RCI berjaya ditubuhkan.
The setting up of RCI is impossible without the support of the cm. If Musa were to involve, he would have strongly reject the idea of setting up RCI in sabah but he did not.
DeleteMusa has remain as the CM for a very long time now. NO wonder there are many trying to bring down with all sorts of accusation.
DeleteThe underdog are trying really hard to bite on the hand who feed them. Why would the leader of a state do something immoral like that? Keep on barking, till your master shoot you down. It's annoying to have fleas like this people, claiming this and that, without proof even.
DeleteRCI harus dari diluar kawalan mana-mana parti atau jabatan.
DeleteKerajaan harus memberi sokongan yang mencukupi agar RCI dapat melaksanakan tugas dengan sempurna.
DeleteChief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman had launched the Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) manifesto which consisted of 16 main thrusts on the state's development and progress.
ReplyDeleteSemoga transformasi ini berjaya membawa ekonomi Sabah ke arah yang lebih berkembang.
DeleteKerajaan akan memastikan perkembangan ekonomi Malaysia berada di landasan yang betul.
DeleteThe manifesto promised a commitment to implement the Royal Commission of Inquiry's (RCI) proposals on resolving the illegal immigrant issue, preserve and introduce relevant land ordinances and to safeguard peace and security in the state under the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom).
ReplyDeleteIt also pledged equal opportunities in the state civil service, continuity of special cash assistance and funds for operations and development expenditure that exceeds 20 per cent, through the turnover from oil and gas in the State.
ReplyDeleteIsu royalti harus dikaji semula.
DeleteIndustri minyak dan gas merupakan pendapatan yang utama di Sabah.
DeleteThe BN also promised to uphold the 20-Point memorandum, besides reducing the poverty rate to three per cent within five years; conserve the environment, fight corruption, involve the people in policy-making; develop youth and sports, empower women and ensure gender equality, enhance human capital development, participate in modern economy, bridge the development gap between urban and rural areas and improve the effectiveness of state bodies.
ReplyDeleteMusa, who is also state BN coordinator, said at the launching of the manifesto at the Umno building here that it was a complement to the national manifesto unveiled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
ReplyDelete"The manifesto is our commitment and obligation to fulfil the aspirations of the people. It is a consensus reached by all component parties after considering all aspects," he said.
ReplyDeleteSemoga perkembangan melalui pelbagai program dan rancangan berjaya mengubah taraf hidup semua golongan.
DeleteSemua program dan rancangan harus dipantau dan memastikan mencapai kejayaan.
DeleteMusa said BN would realise the pledges in the manifesto if the people returned the mandate to it. He said the manifesto themed, "We have fulfilled, more will be implemented" will be distributed together with the BN national manifesto and BN bulletin in four languages, Bahasa Melayu, English, Mandarin and Kadazandusun.
ReplyDeleteParti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) President Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan said the manifesto was very realistic and relevant and aimed to further improve the lives of the people of Sabah.
ReplyDeleteYang penting, memanfaatkan rakyat secara langsung dan tidak langsung.

ReplyDeleteChief minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the strong representation from Sabah was a manifestation of the trust and confidence given to leaders from the state to hold key portfolios in the Federal cabinet.
ReplyDeleteRakyat di Sabah masih memberi kepercayaan kepada Musa. PRU13 sudah membuktikannya.
DeletePeruntukan dari persekutuan untuk projek perkembangan amat diperlukan.
Delete"The lineup shows a strong combination of leaders with vast experience and newcomers who will breathe new ideas to significantly contribute to the government and the people. "
ReplyDeleteFrom the very beginning, the 2013 assembly poll counting hinted that the UMNO-BN alliance would create a history in Sabah with their new win and they proved by attracting a total of 442,493 votes for state seats and 434,522 for parliamentary seats which total 877,015 in all.
ReplyDeleteMusa Aman, received the biggest chunk of votes with 16,637 for a state seat in Sibuga among the coalition’s state component leaders, a majority of 11,569 votes, underscoring the popularity of his Halatuju policy for the state’s development.
ReplyDeleteKebanyak rakyat di Sabah masih beryakin dengan Musa.
DeleteHis acceptance of a renewed term as Chief Minister also makes it the first time a Sabah Chief Minister had broken the nine-year jinx and continued to hold the fortress, basically what I have been saying all along.
ReplyDeleteWhile many facile analyses will attribute the electoral outcome in Sabah to factors that were marginally relevant, the more astute of analysts will see in the turnout figures what this election was really about.
ReplyDeleteOf particular interest would be the number of first time voters and of even greater significance the spike in the Women Voter turnout. It would not be exaggeration to describe this election as the one where Women and Youth reposed their faith overwhelmingly in Musa Aman.
ReplyDeleteGenerasi muda akan memainkan peranan penting di PRU14. Susah untuk menjangka pemikiran dan hala tujuan generasi muda ini.
DeleteHe is a trend setter and has established that pro-incumbency sentiment can firewall against even the toughest of incumbencies and a 10 year run for the Chief Minister.
ReplyDeleteHe is able to break from the past, having able to discard political constructs of the past 5 decades to analyse this election. This requires a new political construct to analyse how elections of the future will be fought as well.
He proves that Technology can be a winner – and that is necessary to stop being apologetic for being tech friendly.
ReplyDeleteHe has sent a signal to the Pakatan Rakyat and its extended ecosystem of Sabah Progressive Party and Star that the cliche victimhood card as a permanent political agenda is past its sell by date. Cynicism no longer sells.
It is reflective of what the future can hold for Malaysia. It shows Sabah is kingmaker in Malaysian politics.
ReplyDeleteBenar, sesiapa yang berjaya manambat hati rakyat di Sabah, sudah pasti dia adalah kerajaan.
DeleteItulah sebab Sabah menjadi deposit untuk BN.
DeleteThe story of this election’s win is really the story of how the ‘New Sabah’ came to be and how Musa Aman has laid out a political roadmap to realise its aspirations. Musa Aman preferred to call this a ‘Covenant of Commitment’. But I would go a step further to call it the ‘ladder of opportunity’.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in the middle of a high stakes election for an incumbent Chief Minister in a country like Malaysia to go on record and express his commitment to Development takes both courage and conviction. It is much easier to resort to cheap populism.
ReplyDeletethere is the opportunity for more citizens to cross over that much riled “Poverty Line” through targeted interventions and join the “New Sabah”.

ReplyDeleteJika ada bukti, harus mendedahkan agar pihak berkuasa boleh buat siasatan.

DeleteTensions can flare if Sabah RCI sensationalised, Musa Aman tells newshounds
ReplyDeleteKUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 — Sensational coverage of the ongoing royal inquiry into Sabah’s foreign population explosion could spark unnecessary tension, its chief minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman reminded journalists as witness testimonies of illegal immigrants being fast-tracked for citizenship is raising the mercury ahead of Election 2013.
Questions are being asked of the ruling Barisan Nasional’s (BN) role over the last two decades in failing to stem the flood of illegal immigrants into Malaysia’s easternmost state, which has seen its population grow from just over 630,000 in 1970 to over 3.1 million in 2010 — more than double the national standard.
ReplyDeletePATI can be seen everyway in Malaysia now. The increasing of such PATI certain weird.
DeletePertambahan penduduk secara berganda-ganda jumlahnya memain luar biasa. Adakah golongan ini dibawa masuk seperti yang dikatakan untuk tujuan politik.
Delete“Many sensitive issues have been raised by the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants that is currently being held.
ReplyDelete“We cannot interfere in the deliberations and the testimonies in the continuing hearing. We also should not rush into any conclusions while the Inquiry is proceeding,” said Musa in a brief six-paragraph media statement to The Malaysian Insider last night.
The state’s longest-serving chief minister urged reporters to be mindful of their coverage of the RCI, “to avoid bringing about any kind of unnecessary tension among the public”.
ReplyDeleteKhabar angin yang akan menyebabkan huru hara harus dielakkan. Serahkan kepada RCI, RCI akan buat yang terbaik.
Delete“The government has no control over editorial content. We believe in the freedom of the press,” said the 61-year-old, who has been in office since March 2003.
ReplyDelete“At the same time, in a sensitive situation such as the RCI, sensational coverage will not bring any positive results or effects for the state of Sabah or the country as a whole,” he added.
The people also didn't pay high hope on RCI.
DeleteLets hope issue PATI can greatly eliminated.
DeleteMusa had also made a similar request last week at a closed-door meeting with state English-language media representatives from New Sabah Times, Daily Express, The Borneo Post, andBN-controlled newspapers New Straits Times (NST) and The Star, as well as national news agency Bernama.
ReplyDeleteThe issue of illegal immigrants has turned emotive among Sabah natives like the Kadazandusun and Murut communities, many of whom feel that the state has been robbed of its sovereignty through the massive influx of foreigners from neighbouring Philippines and Indonesia.
ReplyDeleteGolongan ini mengancam ketenteraman di Sabah.
DeleteJabatan imigresen harus menjalankan tanggung jawab, jangan pula mengizinkan kemasukan golongan ini seolah untuk mendapat keuntungan melalui pintu belakang.
DeleteIt is no secret that Sabahans are angry and want these foreigners shipped back to their home countries in one way or another. They also often blame the immigrants for robbing them of job opportunities and for the rise in the state’s social, economic and security problems.
ReplyDeleteRecent statistics from a 2010 census of Sabah’s population showed an extraordinary 390 per cent increase from 636,431 citizens in 1970 to 3,120,040 citizens in 2010, more than double the national population growth of just 164 per cent.
ReplyDeleteAbout 28 per cent of Sabah’s 3.2 million-strong population are foreigners, numbering at 889,000 people.
ReplyDeleteTun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia’s longest-serving prime minister who was in power from 1981 to 2003, has been accused of spearheading the so-called “Project IC”, in which citizenships were allegedly given to immigrants for their votes.
Adakah Dr. Mahathir yang merancang kesemua ini? Walaubagaimanapun, semua tuduhan tanpa bukti tiada maknanya.
DeleteRamai akan berkaitkan isu ini dengan Dr. Mahathir.
DeleteBut former Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Harris Salleh, who administered the state from 1976 to 1985, has denied the existence of “Project IC”.
ReplyDeleteDr Mahathir had last Thursday admitted to granting citizenship to foreigners during his tenure, but insisted it was all done according to the law. He has also said he is willing to testify to that before the RCI if subpoenaed.
The citizenship-for-votes allegation is one of the key issues that has been raised in the run-up to Election 2013, which must be called by April when the ruling Barisan Nasional’s mandate expires.
ReplyDeletePATI juga diberi keutamaan untuk mengundi. Jelas, projek ic dirancang untuk mengukuhkan kuasanya.
DeleteThe earliest indicators of the rise of the ‘New Sabah’ came from the Census data of Rural Households. Between the fall of Harris Salleh’s Berjaya that was wrongly attributed to “Sabah Shining” and the re-election of Pairin Kitingan’s PBS that was once again wrongly attributed to ‘Sabah rights based entitlements’ most commentators have ignored what the Census data told us going as far back as 1985.
ReplyDeleteThe public inquiry in Kota Kinabalu that kicked off on January 14 is chaired by former Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Steve Shim Lip Kiong.
ReplyDeleteA total of 167 witnesses are expected to be called to testify, according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who finally agreed to set up a royal inquiry last year.
The royal panel has until March to wrap up its investigation.
In block after block, district after district, when queried over what kind of assistance Rural families preferred one message came out loud and clear – education, skills and security.
ReplyDeleteMusa Aman’s comments on the rise of the ‘New Sabah’ during the release of Sabah BN’s manifesto for the May 5th 13 General Elections may come as a surprise to many but there is a sound demographic basis to it.
ReplyDeleteBack in 2008 as an academic exercise an economist friend had dissected the electoral landscape in Sabah through the prism of the 2006 Census data.
ReplyDeleteIt is this “New Sabah” that a hunger for job opportunities and infrastructure is shaping a different kind of electoral discourse where development and economic growth are viewed as essential to the ladder of opportunity
ReplyDeleteSabah mempunyai potensi untuk menjadi pusat ekonomi yang agak penting.
DeleteThe key difference is that the “New Sabah” is far more impatient to climb the ladder of opportunity rather than militate like the opposition parties for a safety net woven out of rights and entitlements.
ReplyDeleteMusa antara yang menyokong penubuhan RCI.
ReplyDeleteSocial engineering and victimhood narratives have been political anomalies for some time now with a young and impatient Sabahans hungry to satisfy its aspirations making electoral choices that defy conventional political wisdom.
ReplyDeleteDakwaan ini boleh menimbulkan berbagai persepsi terhadap kerajaan yang ditunjangi Umno dan parti Umno sendiri.
ReplyDeleteDr Chong Eng Leong, mantan pemimpin PBS itu senantiasa menyimpan perasaan buruk sangka terhadap kepimpinan Umno dan Umno sendiri, selepas parti itu berjaya menumbangkan kerajaan PBS pada tahun 1994.
ReplyDeleteSabah sebelum tahun 2004 mempunyai 48 kerusi Dewan Undangan negeri, di mana 40 kawasan dikuasai seimbang antara kaum bumiputra islam dan kaum KDM, manakala 8 dikuasai kaum cina. Akibat persempadan semula yang digunapakai pada PRU-2004, kawasan DUN bertambah kepada 60, di mana kawasan bumiputera islam telah bertambah 12 menjadi 32, manaka kawasan KDM dan kaum cina tetap tidak berubah.
ReplyDeleteBerasaskan kepada keadaan inilah, ada pemimpin tertentu mempertikai pertambahan jumlah kerusi kawasan majoriti kaum bumiputera islam
ReplyDeletesemoga RCI ini dapat menyelesaikan isu pati yang sudah lama berlaku. dan tidak perlu untk memainkan sebarang spekulasi selagi tidak dibuktikan.
ReplyDeleteIsu PATI sudah sekian lama, tiada beza untuk tunggu beberapa bulan untuk mendapatkan kenyataan apakah sebab kemasukan PATI di negara ini.
Deletethey will become anachronisms with the Sabah victory marking the first time an explicit agenda targeting Sabahans being advanced by Musa Aman receiving such a resounding endorsement from the citizenry.
ReplyDeletethere is a certain naivete in this formulation that leads us to a complacence in examining the very complicated and nuanced role of electoral competition currently being witnessed in this state.
ReplyDeleteNajib government’s decision to get The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah is of recent vintage, and can win favours for the BN.
ReplyDeleteLet wait and see what RCI can get after the due date.
DeleteEconomic indicators are certainly robust, with state GDP growth rates averaging 6 to 7 per cent or more (between 2003-12)
ReplyDeleteThe sectoral composition of this growth rate, particularly the advances in construction, agriculture and tourism, have received wide attention.
ReplyDeleteAlthough there have been disputes whether the growth has been as high as Musa Aman claims, even modest estimates available accept agriculture grew at higher than national average at around ten per cent or more.
ReplyDeleteEconomists also note the significance of the consistently high growth rate in the agriculture, construction and the tourism sector, notwithstanding the constraints it faces.
ReplyDeleteWell typically, every successful politician or leader or public figure has a team or at least one shrewd adviser who guides and advises the leader on various matters.
ReplyDeleteBy himself, he’s a great strategist. In the 2008 Sabah assembly polls, he steered the Barisan National to more than two-thirds majority winning 59 of the 60 seats contested, without calling in any central leader from the party to the campaign trail.
ReplyDeleteIni jelas menunjukan bahawa Musa Aman adalah seorang perompak dan pengkhianat.
ReplyDeleteWe can't simply make assumption based on the witness statement.
ReplyDeleteMany would want to bring down Musa due to the positing he is holding.
ReplyDeleteKota Kinabalu: The Rotary Club of Luyang won praises from Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman for its role in uplifting the life of various communities through its service projects since it was established 50 years ago.
ReplyDelete"I have been told that at global level, Rotary has made significant contributions towards the eradication of polio, promotion of peace and creation of sustainable communities," he said during the Club's 16th Installation Dinner at the Sabah Oriental Hotel, here, Saturday.
"The focus of Rotary in the immediate future lies in diverse project themes that range from peace and conflict resolution to disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, basic education and literacy, among others.
Delete"Thus, I applaud Rotarians for tirelessly meeting the needs of the world through these significant areas of work," he said.
"The successful implementation of these initiatives will bring about an improved quality of life for all Sabahans, regardless of where they live in the State," he said.
Delete"Having said this, there will always be people who remain less fortunate, and who despite our best efforts, somehow get left behind for a variety of reasonsÉpeople also face temporal hardships from time to time due to circumstances beyond their control.
"But I believe that Rotary can play an important role in providing relief to those in need because your services complement the Government's efforts in helping the poor, as temporary relief is often required before more lasting solutions can be found," he said.
DeleteTowards this end, Musa hoped more people would be inspired by the spirit of Rotary and embrace volunteerism and community service for the good of the State and country.
He said he is a big supporter of the Rotarian movement and its cause in Sabah and around the world.
Delete"They volunteer their time and effort to help the less fortunate and improve the wellbeing of the society in general.
"I wish the Rotary Club of Luyang all the best, and that President Halim Egoh and his board of directors have a fruitful year," he said, adding he was confident the Club will grow from strength to strength and help spread the Rotary spirit to more people.
Penampang: Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan firmly believes that Sabah will continue to progress under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.
ReplyDelete"This is because Musa has a good track record and it is already proven. Under the leadership of the dynamic and progressive Chief Minister, I have full confidence that Sabah will continue to be progressive and achieve the objectives," he said at the closing of the State-level Tadau Kaamatan at Hongkod Koisaan
Head of State, Tun Juhar Mahiruddin officiated at the closing at which his wife, Toh Puan Norlidah R.M. Jasni, was also present.
DeleteI n the effort to steer Malaysia towards developed nation status by 2020, he said the Barisan Nasional (BN) Government really appreciates the firm support of the people.
He said to achieve this status is not easy especially when the global economy is erratic.
The situation, he said, requires efficient and effective management and administration.
And the BN Government has proven its credibility and capability to manage the country well despite the challenges.
Hence, Pairin said, under the leadership of Musa, Sabah would continue to make progress.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThanking Juhar and Musa for their presence at the closing ceremony, he expressed delight on the spirit of unity, respect and cooperation that were displayed by the people in Sabah throughout the month-long Tadau Kaamatan. Looking at the scenario, he asserted that Sabah is indeed the only State in the country that truly practices the spirit of "Unity in Diversity".
DeleteTo this, he hoped that the Tadau Kaamatan celebration would continue as a platform for unity among the people of diverse ethnicity and religion.
DeleteThe Kaamatan theme "Love for Culture Produces Caring Society" this year, he said, is aimed at forming a society that appreciates tolerance, has high sensibility and personality that always respects one another.
"Often times we forget that such qualities could bring us to a level of living that is peaceful and progressive," he said.
Pairin, who is also Huguan Siou (paramount leader) to the Kadazan, Dusun and Murut community, said it is the norm during Kaamatan to reminisce about the origin of the festivity.
DeleteHe said it is necessary so as to remind society on the beginning of the Kaamatan even though some of the practices that are related to the event are no longer fully practised due to changes in time or unavoidable reasons.
Nevertheless, he said the main concept of the Kaamatan is thanksgiving especially among the farming community.
"As among states that give priority to agriculture, the spirit of thanksgiving is very meaningful and invaluable," he said.
The State Barisan Nasional (BN) government is an administrator that works constantly to implement various development programmes for all areas in Sabah, Chief Minister Musa Aman said.
ReplyDeleteHe said the manifesto tabled by the BN reflected its commitment to enrich the state besides fulfilling the needs of the people.
The BN manifesto was the voice of the people whose aspirations could be fulfilled, especially in areas like basic amenities, education, health and culture, he said when launching the Sabah Foundation's Jerayawara programme with the people at the community hall in the Sook sub-district here.
DeleteMusa, who is also the state BN chairman, said the state govenment was also committed to ensuring that the customary land continued to be preserved and that those who were eligible were given priority to own the land in groups.
DeleteMusa, who is also Chairman of the Sabah Foundation Board of Trustee, indicated that Pensiangan would become a developing area and the centre of attention when various infrastructure facilities were completed in the future.
At the function, Musa presented premium and quit rent payments as aid to resolve the native customary land issue in Sabah and also 36 communal grants to 36 villages in Sook.
DeleteThe communal grants will benefit 2,612 household heads who are eligible to carry out farming.
Tan Sri Joseph Kurup is defending his Pensiangan parliamentary seat in a four-cornered fight with Datuk Dr Richard Fakian Gunting Kamis of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Martin Tommy (Parti Reformasi Sabah) and Fatimah Agitor (Independent).
DeleteThe Pensiangan parliamentary seat has 26,194 registered voters of whom 87.19 per cent are from the Kadazandusun Murut ethnic group. The two state sets in the constituency are Sook and Nabawan where the BN is fielding Datuk Ellron Angin and Datuk Bobbey Ah Fang Suan respectively.
DeleteChief minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the strong representation from Sabah was a manifestation of the trust and confidence given to leaders from the state to hold key portfolios in the Federal cabinet.
ReplyDeleteDakwaan ini, bukan sahaja mencemarkan nama baik Ketua Menteri Sabah itu; juga boleh menimbulkan berbagai persepsi terhadap kerajaan yang ditunjangi Umno dan parti Umno sendiri.
ReplyDeleteBagi orang Sabah, memang sudah arif dengan Dr Chong Eng Leong, kerana mantan pemimpin PBS itu senantiasa menyimpan perasaan buruk sangka terhadap kepimpinan Umno dan Umno sendiri, selepas parti itu berjaya menumbangkan kerajaan PBS pada tahun 1994.
DeleteSabah sebelum tahun 2004 mempunyai 48 kerusi Dewan Undangan negeri, di mana 40 kawasan dikuasai seimbang antara kaum bumiputra islam dan kaum KDM, manakala 8 dikuasai kaum cina. Akibat persempadan semula yang digunapakai pada PRU-2004, kawasan DUN bertambah kepada 60, di mana kawasan bumiputera islam telah bertambah 12 menjadi 32, manaka kawasan KDM dan kaum cina tetap tidak berubah.
DeleteBerasaskan kepada keadaan inilah, ada pemimpin tertentu mempertikai pertambahan jumlah kerusi kawasan majoriti kaum bumiputera islam; dan menghubungkan pertambahan itu dengan penambahan pengundi melalui "pemutihan" pendatang haram, terutama daripada Indonesia dan Filipina.
DeletePemimpin tertentu mengguna pakai data tahun 1960-an, sebagai dasar mengukur pertambahan penduduk; tanpa mengambil faktor cara pendaftaran penduduk Sabah pada masa itu.
DeleteKerajaan Sabah pada tahun 1970-an berusaha berbagai kaedah menggalakan penduduk mendaftar sebagai penduduk, antaranya melalui Saham Tun Mustapha atau lebih dikenali sebagai "wang kayu balak".
Pada post kemerdekaan Sabah pada September 1963, memang kerajaan mengalami kesukaran mendaftar penduduk Sabah yang sebenarnya, atas sebab itu berbagai inisiatif diperkenalkan.
DeleteSehingga tahun 1990, memang masih ramai penduduk Sabah yang belum berdaftar sebagai penduduk Sabah, walaupun mereka menduduki negeri ini. Atas kesedaran politik terutama kaum bumiputera islam yang tertindas semasa kerajaan PBS, maka ramai pemimpin islam secara sukarela menjadi pemangkin supaya timbul kesadaran agar bumiputrera islam mendaftar sebagai penduduk dan seterusnya mendaftar sebagai pengundi.
RCI Sabah hari ini di Mahkamah Kota Kinabalu menggunapakai data 1960 berkaitan penduduk Sabah, dimana pada masa itu, Sabah hanya dihuni seramai 600,000, dan dikatakan bahawa antara tahun 1970-2000, kaum KDM bertambah 160 peratus, Bajau bertambah 340 peratus, manakala "melayu" bertambah 1,552 peratus.
ReplyDeleteSebenarnya pengkelasan ini, tidak tepat, kerana Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara yang memberikan kategori "melayu" kepada penduduk islam, walaupun dalam daftar surat beranak mereka itu adalah daripada kumpulan etnik bumiputera islam.
Deleteketerangan yang diberikan oleh mantan senator dan Pemimpin PBS Dr Chong Eng Leong, tidak mempunyai merit untuk dipercayai, kerana dakawaannya itu banyak sangat berasaskan persepsi, bukannya berasaskan penyelidikan yang mendalam.
DeleteSatu fakta yang boleh dijadikan contoh misalnya, di kampung penulis, akibat gerakan pedaftran penduduk kerana pemberian "Saham Kayu Balak" pada tahun 70-an, ramai penduduk dalam satu keluarga yang berupa adik beradik, mempunyai tarik lahir yang berbeza bulan sahaja, antara abang-kakak atau adik, dan ironinya mereka lahir pada tahun yang sama, asalkan umur mereka cukup 21 tahun, syarat utama mendapatkan "wang Kayu balak" pada masa itu. Malah di antara mereka itu, ada yang menjadi kaki tangan kerajaan; ironinya; ramai juga adik kepada seseorang itu mencapai persaraan lebih awal berbanding abang, kerana catatan tahun penduduk itu dilahirkan semasa gerakan pendaftaran itu.
DeleteAdalah tidak pelik, jika belaku pertambahan penduduk secara mendadak, bukan kerana akibat "pemutihan" warga asing, namun kesadaran penduduk asal mendapatkan dokumen kad pengenalan.
DeleteRCI yang sedang racak berjalan sejak tahun lepas, kini banyak menimbulkan berbagai persepsi "kosong" selain itu, untuk memperkuat alibi mereka, mereka mengaitkan pemimpin tertentu- antaranya Musa Aman.
ReplyDeleteBelum terlambat bagi Musa, beliau boleh menjelaskan dengan terperinci dakwaan itu.
Dakwaan dari pihak pembangkang yang mendakwa tanpa merujuk fakta bahawa kononnya pengurusan kewangan Kerajaan Negeri di bawah pimpinan Barisan Nasional tidak teratur dan sebagainya. Namun katanya, melalui perakuan Ketua Audit Negara, Tan Sri Ambrin Buang sendiri, bukan sahaja Kerajaan Negeri telah berjaya mengekalkan Sijil Tanpa Teguran selama 12 tahun berturut-turut, malah beliau juga memperakukan bahawa pengurusan kewangan Negeri Sabah sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini adalah antara yang terbaik di seluruh Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteMahathir’s politically provocative statement on the eve of Najib’s announcement of the RCI was to create tension within BN Sabah and sabotage the RCI. Now it is proven that Dr Mahathir was all along making systematic attempts to change the political demography of Sabah under his adminstration at the expense of the local indigenous population. Dr Mahathir’s use of history to justify free movement of foreigners into Sabah is seriously flawed, and by his own logic, he seemed to justify the Philippines’ claim on Sabah.
ReplyDeleteRahsia dan pendekatan yang diambil bagi memperkasa tadbir urus kewangan negeri sehingga Sabah berjaya mendapat pengiktirafan sedemikian. Di samping itu Tawfiq berkata, penyediaan penyata kewangan Kerajaan Negeri yang berpandukan Akta Acara Kewangan 1957 (Pindaan 1972) sentiasa diselenggara dengan teratur dan sempurna untuk memberi gambaran yang benar dan saksama terhadap kedudukan kewangan Kerajaan Negeri.“Selain itu, usaha-usaha juga giat dijalankan untuk mempertingkatkan Sistem Perakaunan supaya ianya ‘compatible’ (bersesuaian) dengan perkembangan teknologi IT semasa dan Piawaian Perakaunan Kerajaan (Public Sector Accounting Standard).
ReplyDeleteI nevertheless give credit to Musa Aman for working behind the scenes convincing all parties within UMNO Sabah to accept the RCI for the good of Sabah. Must congratulate the chief minister for his foresight to set up the Sabah BN committee on citizenship under the chairmanship of Pairin Kitingan which actually served as a catalyst in the formation of the RCI. It was really difficult for Musa as there were UMNO warlords within UMNO Sabah like Shafie Apdal with vested interest refusing the RCI and manipulating Putrajaya on the process.
ReplyDeleteSome time back some people have claimed that Sabah is replete with complex socio-politico problems because of the presence of millions of illegals and if not controlled in time then this wonderful creative race called Kadazan Dusun Murut (KDM) will disappear from the surface of the earth forever. I understand why some people could think to this extent. Are the problems that Sabah have witnessed, especially in recent times, myriad enough to exterminate this intelligent and creative tribe? I do think such enormous and myriad problems have taken place in Sabah and its serious.
ReplyDeleteMenurut Pembantu Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Tawfiq Abu Bakar Titingan, kejayaan tersebut juga tidak akan tercapai tanpa adanya visi dan keupayaan dari segi pemikiran yang bernas dan tindakan susulan untuk mencapai sebuah negeri yang maju jaya, aman makmur dan sejahtera. “Syabas dan tahniah diucapkan kepada Datuk Seri Musa Aman yang juga selaku Menteri Kewangan yang buat sekian kalinya telah berjaya membimbing dan mengemudi negeri ini ke arah kejayaan dan kecemerlangan,” katanya pada Persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN).
ReplyDeleteTiada pemimpin yang boleh memimpin selama-lamanya, dan demikian juga tiada penyokong menjadi penyokong selama-lamanya. Penyokong yang diiktiraf sebagai pelapis akan menjadi pemimpin, dan matan pemimpin akan jadi panutan atau rujukan. Chong seharusnya sudah sedar dengan apa yang dilakukannya itu. Tidak perlulah lagi muncul dengan kenyataan yang tidak patut dengan kajian yang tidak tepat dan lengkap ini.
ReplyDeleteApabila timbul seseorang pemimpin tidak lagi terpilih sebagai calon, bukan bererti pemimpin itu dicantas, akan tetapi beliau diberi peranaan lain sebagai pembimbing pula kepada pemimpin baru. Jadi kita perlu tahu mengenai perkara ini sebelum terpedaya dengan permainan politik. Memang begini kehidupan dalam politik.
ReplyDeleteA national population census in 2010 showed an exponential 390 per cent increase in Sabah’s population from 636,431 citizens in 1970 to 3,120,040 citizens in 2010 ? more than double the national population growth of just 164 per cent. Of the 3.12 million Sabahans today, reports have estimated that 27 per cent are foreigners.
ReplyDeleteSebelum Datuk Musa menjadi ketua menteri rasanya ada 7 orang lain lagi yang pernah menjadi ketua menteri Sabah selepas 1991. Kenapa tidak libatkan mereka-mereka itu juga? Jawapan senang saja... Kerana Datuk Musa adlaah ketua menteri sabah yang sekarang ini. Kalau Chong libatkan ketua menteri yang lain rasanya tidak apa-apa yang dia akan dapat dan tidak memberi manfaat kepada PKR.
ReplyDeleteDalam arena politik, seseorang pemimpin mempunyai dua tugas. Sanggup memikul amanah yang ditugaskan dan kedua sanggup menjadi penyokong apabila tidak lagi berada di barisan hadapan. Dalam semua parti politik, proses ini perlu berjalan demi peremajaan dan menyuntik tenaga baru.
ReplyDeleteKenapa Datuk Musa menjadi sasaran oleh Chong. Kerana Datuk Musa adalah ketua menteri Sabah dan sehingga sekarang masih dapat mengekalkan jawatan tersebut.
ReplyDeleteAda sebab kenapa Datuk Pairin tidak dilibatkan oleh Chong. Kerana Pairin adalah presiden PBS dan mungkin Pairin lebih tahu latarbelakang Chong yang sebenar. Maka Chong tidak berani libatkan orang yang benar-benar berpengaruhi dalam PBS ini. Bijak Chong tapi rasanya tidak sebijak yang kita sangkakan. Chong masih tidak dapat memberikan bukti mengenai perkara ini.
ReplyDeleteThen look at this figure, in 1960, Sabah population comprised 32% Kadazan-Dusuns, 23% Chinese, 15.8% other Muslims, 13.1% Bajaus, 5.5% Indonesians, 4.9% Muruts, 1.6% Filipinos and 0.4% Malays. But in 2006, the state’s ethnic composition changed drastically, comprising 25% non-citizens, 17.76% Kadazan-Dusuns, 14.62% other Bumiputeras, 13.4% Bajaus, 11.48% Malays, 9.6% Chinese, 4.8% others and 3.3% Muruts.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that socio-political conflicts due to the huge number of illegals in the state has been taking place in Sabah and this has produced some good results rather than bad ones. I guess in the absence of these problems Sabahans would have not become more intelligent and conscious about their rights. Thus, problems can not be looked at cynically all the time. Moreover we can not even imagine a society without problems. Only when the problems are out of hand and when the State exhausts all its energy in overcoming the problems at hand one can argue that problems are impediments to the development/progress of Sabah. Until this stage is reached problems are in fact indispensable engines for pushing Sabahans to move forward. I feel that so many activists, so many social organizations and intellectuals would have not appeared on the soils of Sabah had the illegals gaining Malaysian citizenship via backdoor not happened. It is also to be remembered that there will not be any society where every member fully conforms to the norms and established laws of the State. Having said so, it is also wrong on the part of the authorities if they shirk their responsibilities of solving problems that are being faced by the people.
ReplyDeleteRiding on the high sounding idea of ‘no absolute wrongs’ in the social life, people like Mahathir or groups responsible for allowing the illegals to swamp Sabah use their own peculiar discourses and through them they try to rationalize their actions even though these people know very well that such actions would hurt or affect the lives of the indigenous people of Sabah. Whatever be the context in which they situate their actions and justify their actions my strong contention is that no human actions should be at the expense of the ‘common good’ of Sabah.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, the Musa government has been really capitalizing on the opportunities thrown by the various problems that inflict Sabah and trying to improve its performances and serve the people better each day that passes by. It knows well that there are in-built solutions in every problems and tries to ferret out the solutions tirelessly rather than wasting time and energy on playing blame or ‘passing the buck’ games. Datuk Lajim Okim and Datuk Bumburing are examples of leaders who are playing blame games.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen that the leadership of this government has never jumped into any hasty or irresponsible decisions. It never allows itself to be swept away or carried away by the quixotic emotional outbursts of other non-state stakeholders, including Dr Mahathir Mohamad or even “Sultan Sulu” Akjan. Instead the government tries to find or has found out solutions which are based on legal-rational principles, and are acceptable to all the parties. It steadfastly sticks to the moral and legitimate principle of democratic governance believing that the government is not for gratifying particular groups at the cost of welfare of the indigenous people.
ReplyDeleteSome may fret and fume about the existing State of affairs and fire barrage of diatribes inexorably against the handling of the illegals, against the handling of certain socio-political problems arising from the huge number of illegals and even the way the development programmes are being undertaken. But my logical question is how many of them have seen any better government than the earlier three governments USNO, Berjaya and PBS, under the present leadership. I know that I may not be politically correct to say this but I am saying this without any political leanings to any parties.
ReplyDeleteAt the development front I do not see any inadequacy in the policies and programmes being pursued by the government. So, let us learn to call a spade a spade and appreciate the hard work put in by this Musa government. I also do not find any inadequacy or serious shortcomings in the measures contemplated or taken up by the leadership to address many of the gnawing socio-political problems i.e. due to the presence of millions of illegals in the state.
ReplyDelete1991 yang pasti menjadi ketua menteri pada ketika itu ialah Datuk Pairin Kitingan. Jadi kenapa Chong tidak kaitkan Pairin pada kes ini. Bukankah sepatutnya begitu? Cuba pembaca yang lain fikirkan sendiri. Hairan bukan kepada Datuk Musa pula jadi sasaran.
ReplyDeleteHumans are emotional so are the many participating members of Musa Aman’s government. But despite of many practical difficulties the leadership of this government, in many occasions, had tackled many sensitive socio-political issues and problems satisfactorily.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Musa menjadi ketua menteri Sabah pada tahu 2003, Mac kalau tidak silap. Jadi berapa jauhkah itu daripada tahun 1991? 12tahun sebelum Datuk Musa menjadi ketua menteri. Jadi apa pula kaitan Datuk Musa dalam hal ini. Rasanya Datuk Musa belum ada kuasa lagi dalam hal ini. Memang tidak patut rasanya dikaitkan dengan beliau.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Musa aman sudah menjadi Ketua Menteri selama 10 tahun. Jadi adakah masa itu Datuk Musa ada kuasa pada 1991? Rasanya Datuk Musa belum ada kuasa lagi.
ReplyDeleteKepimpinan di bawah Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Musa Aman yang dinamik merupakan antara rahsia kejayaan Sabah mendapat pengiktirafan cemerlang iaitu Sijil Tanpa Teguran selama 12 tahun berturut-turut sejak tahun 2000 menerusi Laporan Audit Negara. Lihat kejayaan yang telah dilakukan oleh Datuk Musa. Kita haruslah yakin dengan beliau.
ReplyDeleteIt is important for us to remember that many of the socio-political problems we witness today due to the illegals in Sabah do not come into existence in a day. This means that we can not afford to have quick fix solutions. Rather we need to find out the lasting solutions. This fact, it seems, is very much known to the leadership of the Sabah government. Musa knows he is answerable to the people. And as we all know GE13 is just round the corner and in any democratic set up the people are sovereign and people can deny their elected leaders a chance to become their representatives again if they feel that he or she does not live up to their expectations. Apparently Musa Aman know these democratic processes and values quite well and have outperformed his predecessors in duties of serving the people of Sabah and the Natives specifically.
ReplyDeleteIt can also be sensed that Musa is very much familiar with the concept of ‘micro power politics’. As this element is present in all spheres of politics. And to my observation and belief Musa is well aware of the fact that until and unless the differences that arise out of the power politics at the micro level i.e. among his elected colleagues of his own party UMNO or otherwise, are resolved first, no solutions could be found out to the problems at the macro level. He has dealt with most of the problems that exists at the governmental level successfully and is able to steer his last two coalition governments for two complete terms, 2004 and 2008.
ReplyDeleteHere, I can not help eulogizing Musa Aman for his political acumen and statesmanship. Under his leadership and guidance the present government has succeeded in getting the RCI on Illegals and has also succeeded attracting unprecedented developmental activities and is, relentlessly, endeavouring to lift the State to the status of one of the most developed States in the country. Take my hats off to the Chief Minister of the State.
ReplyDeleteLike any other leader Musa Aman may also be fallible. But one may not be doing any justice on one’s part if he or she is hell bent on critiquing his shortfalls unmindful of or forgetting about all the invaluable services that he has rendered so far in spite of the various constraints/limitations that he confronts with while governing this complex multi-ethnic society with their divergent vested interests.
ReplyDeleteBenih ketidaksefahaman mula bercambah dalam kalangan pembangkang apabila Ketua Umum Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Chong sedarlah yang mana pemimpin Sabah hanya diperguna oleh PKR untuk menawan putrajaya. Tidak ada niat lain selain itu. Percayalah kepada kerajaan BN dan rakyat Sabah memilih yang terbaik untuk mereka.
ReplyDeleteMusa, pemimpin yang berkarisma, mengetuai BN negeri dalam melakar kejayaan besar dalam pilihan raya umum lepas, dengan menguasai 24 daripada 25 kerusi parlimen dan 59 daripada 60 kerusi Dun, meninggalkan DAP kerusi Parlimen Kota Kinabalu dan Dun Sri Tanjung (Tawau). Semua ini adalah atas usaha datuk musa untuk membuktikan kepada rakyat yang mana beliau adalah seorang yang benar-benar berjuang untuk rakyat.
ReplyDelete10 years as Chief Minister, being a seasoned statesman rising above the petty politics he shepherds the transition of Sabah towards the pinnacle of development. His mind boggling personal charisma and aura reach far beyond the boundaries of the State. His many bold decisions against the odds and his ‘never-buckle-under pressure-tactics’ quality least bothering about such actions may make more political foes than friends endear himself to many Sabahans. He is a ‘cult figure’ in the hearts of many of his admirers in the state.
ReplyDeleteMusa Aman is well aware of the fact that in democracy there is no place for those power elites i.e. Yang Berhormats who try to monopolize the power and the state machineries to their own personal aggrandizement. He makes his colleagues realize that in democracy none of them could remain in power if they do not go in tandem with aspirations of the people. That is the one obvious reason why Musa Aman could win a thumping majority in the last general election in 2008 where he won 59 out of the 60 state seats.
ReplyDeleteProblems are bound to be there. Heroes are those extraordinary humans who fight not only the evils but also who always try to solve the problems or hardships that people face. And to me Chief Minister Musa Aman is a hero. The leadership of the present government had shown in earlier occasions that it believed in the ‘virtues of adversity”. It knows well that if it could not meet the adversities with responsible responses it shall perish. Therefore the leadership of the present government has, time and time again, shown the grit, sagacity, skills and other bold decisions as responses to deal with the situations or challenges which rear its ugly head just like phoenix rising from the ashes. In earlier occasions the government might have faced some difficulties as to how to deal with such situations. It must have really racked its head over the solutions. But as time passes by it is able to have explored really well thought out responsible responses to deal with all the challenges. I am citing the RCI as an example.
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary people are those who face the challenges and adversities with extraordinary ingenuity and with the only available resources boldly rather than meekly surrender. Sabah government under the able and extraordinary leadership of Musa Aman, have met with all the challenges all the turbulent phases daringly and fearlessly and on every occasion it came out victorious and triumphant. The main reason of the success of the leadership of this government, I believe, is that it has faith in the core values of democracy and always capitalizes on the ‘virtues of adversities’.
ReplyDeleteThe present Sabah government is an epitome of statesmanship and democratic values. At the end I have to confess that this small write-up is not an insider’s comment on the workings of the government. It is just a common man’s observation.
ReplyDeleteDalam 'ledakan' pertama yang dibuat selepas pembubaran Dewan Rakyat dan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Sabah semalam, Musa, yang juga pengerusi BN negeri, menggesa penduduk Sabah tidak memperjudikan masa depan mereka dengan membuat ujikaji dengan sebuah kerajaan pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteKetua Menteri Sabah Datuk Seri Musa Aman, seorang yang berkeyakinan dan dipuji kerana pengurusan kewangan negeri yang mantap dan kecemerlangan Barisan Nasional (BN) Sabah dalam pilihan raya umum 2008, sekali lagi dijangka memimpin parti gabungan itu dalam PRU menentang pakatan pembangkang yang tidak sehaluan di negeri ini.
ReplyDeleteRakyat harus jelas dengan usaha dan keikhlasan BN membela nasib mereka supaya mereka tidak mudah terperdaya dengan khabar angin dan janji pembangkang yang telah hilang hala tuju. Mereka sendiri tidak ada ketetapan sendiri. Mungkin Chong ini adalah antara orangnya.
ReplyDeleteKita lihat sejak Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menjadi perdana menteri, banyak usaha dan pembangunan dilaksanakan untuk rakyat seperti penghapusan yuran sekolah, pemberian RM100 kepada pelajar sekolah dan pemberian RM500 kepada keluarga berpendapatan di bawah RM3,000 sebulan. Ini semua adalah untuk rakyat dan bukannya untuk orang lain. Kita lihat sendiri usaha mereka.
ReplyDeleteAdalah menjadi tanggungjawab kita menjelaskan kepada semua pengundi mengenai program dan dasar BN kerana inilah kerajaan yang prihatin terhadap kebajikan rakyat. BN tetap berusaha demi rakyat. Jangan lupa itu kita tidak patut dikaburi dengan permainan yang dibuat oleh pihak pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteBelum terlambat bagi Musa, beliau boleh menjelaskan dengan terperinci dakwaan itu. Kita tidak patut dengar daripada satu pihak saja dalam hal ini. kerana yang pasti kita tunggu juga dakwaan daripada tuan punya badan sendiri mengenai perkara ini.
ReplyDeleteDari dulu sehingga sekarang ini RCI berjalan kenapa baru sekarang Chong mengaitkan Datuk Musa? Bukan itu satu perkara yang meragukan. Kenapa Chong buat semua itu? Kita perlu buat penilaian sendiri.
ReplyDeleteRCI yang sedang racak berjalan sejak tahun lepas, kini banyak menimbulkan berbagai persepsi "kosong" selain itu, untuk memperkuat alibi mereka, mereka mengaitkan pemimpin tertentu- antaranya Musa Aman.
ReplyDeleteSemua jentera BN perlu memberi penjelasan kepada rakyat mengenai kejayaan BN selama ini dalam mentadbir negara. Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Musa Aman selaku Pengerusi BN Sabah berkata kejayaan dalam memberi pemahaman mengenai usaha kerajaan mampu meyakinkan rakyat untuk menolak pembangkang. Kita perlu sedar yang mana Datuk Musa telah banyak membawa kejayaan keapda kerajaan BN di Sabah ini. Beliau telah membuktikan kepada kita.
ReplyDeleteDakawaannya itu banyak sangat berasaskan persepsi, bukannya berasaskan penyelidikan yang mendalam. Semua hanya andaian yang dibuat dengan kesimpulan yang tidak pasti. Jadi perlukah kita mempercayainya. Jangan percaya.
ReplyDeleteMantan senator dan Pemimpin PBS Dr Chong Eng Leong, tidak mempunyai merit untuk dipercayai. Kerana ini masih lagi meragui kita. Apa yang dikatakan oleh beliau tidak boleh dipercaya kerana tidak ada bukti yang dapat menguatkan dakwaan beliau. Tambahan lagi mungkin ada sikap marah atau lebih elok dendam Chong terhadap BN.
ReplyDeleteMereka ini tetap orang Sabah asli dan bukannya orang dari luar atau pinjam daripada negara lain seperti apa yang dikatakan. Itu hanya dilakukan oleh mereka yang ingin mengambil keuntungan peribadi.
ReplyDeleteSudah sampai masanya, mereka-mereka seperti penulis, perlu memberi pendedahan berhubung status yang diberikan JPN, jika tidak, suatu hari kelak, status "kesukuan" terhapus dengan sendirinya. Kita inginkan bangsa di negara kita ini terus dikekalkan. Kesukaran ini sebenarnya berlaku masa dahulu yang mana status kaum kita sukar ditentukan maka kerana mereka islam atau masuk islam terus diketagorikan sebagai Melayu. Tapi mereka tetap orang Sabah.
ReplyDeleteJangan kita mudah terkeliru dengan permainan mana-mana pihak berhubung masalah seperti ini. Kita perlulah berhati-hati sebelum mempercayainya. Kerana kita tidak mahu perkara yang tidak diingini akan berlaku.
ReplyDeleteRCI Sabah hari ini di Mahkamah Kota Kinabalu menggunapakai data 1960 berkaitan penduduk Sabah, dimana pada masa itu, Sabah hanya dihuni seramai 600,000, dan dikatakan bahawa antara tahun 1970-2000, kaum KDM bertambah 160 peratus, Bajau bertambah 340 peratus, manakala "melayu" bertambah 1,552 peratus. Tapi dimana ketetapan mengenai perkara ini. Benarkah semua ini? Sedangkan masih ada keraguan lagi berhubung perkara ini. Kita tunggu saja nanti.
ReplyDeleteKadang-kadang ada yang baik dibuat oleh kerajaan tapi ada pihak yang diambil kesempatan oleh mereka yang bermatalamat mencari keuntungan, sehingga menyalah gunakan peluang itu. Memang itulah yang berlaku pada ketika itu sehingga menyebabkan kerajaan yang dapat nama buruk,
ReplyDeleteKerajaan mencari jalan usaha untuk membantu mereka ini. Bukannya cuba membuat cara yang salah. Siapa yang layak tetap diberikan keutamaan. Mereka yang tinggal dalam 20-30 tahun rasanya pasti layak untuk mendapatkan IC dengan mengikut undang-undang.
ReplyDeleteKerana kesadaran politik kaum bumiputera islam yang bermula pada tahun 1990, maka ramailah penduduk bumiputera islam berjaya diberi kesadaran untuk mendaftar sebagai warganegara dan seterusnya sebagai pengundi. Jadi kita tidak boleh cakap yang mana semua ini adalah salah kerajaan. Kita perlu ingat yang mana sebelum ramai penduduk sabah yang tidak berdaftar dalam JPN kerana kesukaran mereka yang berada dipendalaman.
ReplyDeleteKalau kita lihat pun CHONG tidak ada bukti dengan apa yang dikatakan. Cuma dengan kajian yang dibuat secara rambang. Lihat siapa jadi KM pada tahun tersebut? Kenapa pula Datuk Musa dilibatkan yang hanya sebagai orang yang tidak berkuasa.
ReplyDeleteBayangkan mereka yang tidak berkesempatan bersekolah pada tahun 60-an, kemungkinan besar mereka ini tidak mempunyai dokumen, walaupun mereka adalah penduduk asli negeri ini. Adakah CHONG terfikir semua ini sebelum mengatakan seperti apa yang dia katakan sebelum ini? Sedarkah kita yang sedang dipermainkan oleh CHONG.
ReplyDeleteBukan senang untuk orang susah. Mereka terpaksa mencari jalan yang terbaik dan itulah yang terbaik dilakukan oleh JPN untuk membantu menangani masalah itu.
ReplyDeletewalaupun hanya tinggal di sebuah kampung yang berjarak 16 batu daripada pekan, tidak mempunyai surat beranak, akan tetapi surat akuan bersumpah dan kemudian surat itu digunakan untuk memohon surat beranak daftar lewat. Lihat sendiri bagaimana susahnya dahulu sehingga sekarang.
