Lojingki, 71, who claimed to be a close friend of Pairin and many in PBS at one time, alleged that PBS has deviated from its original struggle to safeguard the state and the people especially the Kadazandusun community.
"Pairin has been more and more detached from the aspiration of the grassroots, sometimes appeared to chose UMNO and self-interests ahead of the Sabahans, and i could not support such leadership anymore," he said in a statement issued here today.
Lojingki said Pairin's statement on the NCR today which was carried by local newspapers in which he said he would wait for Musa's leadership and Cabinet decision on the NCR issue as something not a right thing for a Kadazandusun Huguan Siou to say.
"The least Pairin could do was to state his own mind on the legal issue of NCR. Why must wait for Musa or the State Cabinet ? The reporters asked him for his opinion on the NCR legality and all he said was he would wait for the Cabinet to discuss, as if he and his party PBS have no opinion or stand over it. This is frustrating many people," he said.
Wishing his old friend good luck, Lojingki said he has decided to join Pairin's younger brother Dr Jeffrey in State Reform Party (STAR). "This is the time we must unite under a new leader, if not now, then when else?" he adding that only time will tell if he has made the right decision.
MR FREDOLINE EDWIN LOJINGKI
GOOD MOVE SIR!
ReplyDeletehe made a choice to switch party. All the best to him!
DeletePity KDM to have a leader like Pairin who never stops enriching himself and forgetting who puts him there.After being so long in politics he still acts like a novice.He should be dumped.A disgrace to PBS and to his Huguan Siow title and to his own community.
ReplyDeleteShould our leaders act harshly before any decision from the top government is clarified?
Deletei don't think its right for us to assume that pairin didn't do anything at all to help the people. In fact i think he did but he face some obstacles.
DeleteMembers come and go, those who no longer have the heart to fight with one party have no reason to remain. Better let them leave.
ReplyDeleteHormat pada keputusan beliau. tapi rasanya keputsan untuk bersama STAR bukan keputusan yang baik.
DeleteMembers have the rights to leave whenever they want. If they have no heart to stay in a party, then they shouldn't stay.
Deleteitu keputusan beliu sendiri untuk menyertai siapa yang dia mahu.
Deleteit is normal when there is members who come and quit from a party.
DeleteWell, actually Musa Aman already stated that the NCR land issues will be discussed in the State Cabinet. They will sough after the all component party leader's opinion on the legal fraternity and deal with the issues together. Of course Pairin will wait till the discussion is made.
ReplyDeletethen, we should just wait for the discussion results.
DeleteI don't mind if he wants to leave PBS but to join STAR, i think not a best decision for him... I don't know but for me it is not a very good idea to join another party even more it is a opposition's party.
ReplyDeleteI'm not convince with STAR leadership. All this time, STAR has been making many promises to the people. Those promises sounds too good to be true. Is star able to fulfil those promises??
Deletebiasalah dalam politik..ada yang keluar dan ada yang akan masuk.
Deleteit up to him whether to leave PBS and join STAR or who else.
DeleteTalk about NCR, of course we want the best decision and all the positive impact goes to us. But it is not easy to make a decision that too many things need consideration. It is not easy...Whatever it is i believe Pairin himself know what is the best for Sabahans.
ReplyDeletePairin sudah lama menjadi pemimpin di sabah, beliau tidak akan menghampakan rakyat sabah.
DeleteIndeed Pairin a good leader too. Whether or not the people please to his way of leadership, that is another topic.
Deleteyang penting usaha untuk menjaga kebajikan rakyat harus diteruskan.
DeletePairin has to struggle more, to prove that he is still relevant for Sabahans if he wants to remain in politics.
DeleteMaybe Pairin is still hoping that Musa Aman will make the correct decision .. He is the CM after all. But, please think harder and act accordingly so that all the people of Sabah can see is UNITY
ReplyDeletewhat you mean by make the correct decision? whether to set the NCR tribunal or not?
Delete"Lojingki said Pairin's statement on the NCR today which was carried by local newspapers in which he said he would wait for Musa's leadership and Cabinet decision on the NCR issue as something not a right thing for a Kadazandusun Huguan Siou to say."
ReplyDeletePerhaps this is the best apporach when it comes to matters such as this.
PBS as a party component should wait and see what is the cabinet's decision before making their stand. The CM will soon seek Pairin's opinion on this NCR issue later.
Deletethen what is the right thing for pairin to say? i think that is pairin own opinion..maybe Lojingki opinion is different from pairin but doesn't mean what pairin says is wrong..
DeleteBetul tu, Lojingki mungkin ada pendapat sendiri, dan ada sebab lain kenapa beliau lompat parti, tidak bermaksud Pairin gagal menjalan tugas beliau.
DeleteMusa is the cm. Of course Pairin will need to wait for MA 's leadership and cabinet decision on the NCR issue.
DeleteI believe Pairin (and Musa on that matter) wanted to take into account the opinions from professionals (who have an in depth insight on the matter of NCR as well as Sabah Land Ordinance.) before making an executive decision.
ReplyDeleteBetter be consider all the possible solutions before implementing anything.
Deletesebelum ini pun, itu yang dikatakannya..rasanya tidak payah diperbesarkan pasal ni...masing2 punya pendapat...kalau pairin cakap begitu, itu pendapat dia...suka, tidak suka terpulang..
Deletessetuju dengan DorianG, banyak yang perlu dipertimbangkan sebelum sesuatu dilakukan.
Deletetidak payah lah diperbesarkan hilang sokongan kah apa...masing2 punya pilihan..
ReplyDeleteSemua mempuyai pendapat masing2.terpulang kepada rakyat untuk menilai.
DeleteI don't think there is a need for Lojingki to say such thing about pairin. Better to just leave the party without making any enemies. All the best to Lojingki though.
Deletebiar rakyat yang tentukan sama ada pairin masih relevan atau tidak...
ReplyDeleteParin masih relevan kepada sabah, cuma segelintir sahaja yang tidak menyokong beliau.
Deleteonly the people will determine whether pairin is still relevant. We will only know when election comes.
DeletePairin should do something to show that he is still relevant.
DeleteMasing2 punya pendirian dan pendapat. Tapi adakah STAR mampu?
ReplyDeleteitu pilihan dia untuk sertai par yang di mau.
ReplyDeleteharap dia buat keputusan yang benar2 tepat.
ReplyDeleteHarus menghormati keputusan beliau.
ReplyDeleteWhy STAR? Hope these work well for Pairin.
ReplyDeleteLojingki believes in JK leadership.
DeleteWhat a "friend" Lojingki is to Pairin.
ReplyDeleteIf Lojingki has lose his confidence in pairin leadership, then there must be more felt the same way too. Pairin need to step up his game in order to regain his fellow friends trust and most importantly the people too.
ReplyDeletePasti ada sebab mereka tidak boleh bekerjasama lagi.
ReplyDeleteSTAR still new, not sure whether STAR can perform well and strike more for the people.
ReplyDeletereally still new..just wait what they get during the GE-13.
DeleteHe mature enough to make his on decision, just respect his decision and move on.
ReplyDeleteApakah kelebihan STAR yang membuat beliau menyertai STAR?
ReplyDeleteHe has probably decided for himself, best wishes sir!
ReplyDeleteThere is a saying that goes “if you can’t beat them, join them”…..I suppose he simply followed the rule of thumb.
ReplyDeleteEvery member of each party has the right to decide and switch between parties as they sole desire.
ReplyDeleteMasing-masing punya hak untuk buat apa yang mahu dilakukan. Begitu juga dengan rakyat.
DeleteThe reason he decided to change the other party is best known to him.
ReplyDeleteLet the people decide who is relevant or who is not.
ReplyDeleteKuasa ada ditangan rakyat, hanya menunggu masa untuk menggunakannya. Sama-sama kita tunggu apa yang akan berlaku nanti.
DeleteKalau politik, tiada istilah kawan atau lawan sebab semuanya pun sukar diramal.
ReplyDeleteTapi kalau si Fredoline mahu keluar pun, itu haknya tak payah larang dia.
ReplyDeleteAda-ada saja politik ni... Lantaklah apa mahu jadi. Bagus kita tunggu masa untuk mengundi saja.
ReplyDeleteyang penting semua harus fokus ke depan untuk melakukan apa yang terbaik untuk rakyat.
ReplyDeletekalau bagi sia, BN dan semua parti malaya umno dan PR tidak bulih harap lagi yang tahu saja merampas hasil bumi Sabah dan pindah ke malaya.
ReplyDeleteKebanjiran PTI di Sabah sudah cukup susah untuk rakyat Sabah yang dibawa masuk oleh BN yang jahanam.
Sedarlah orang Sabah. SAPP tetap pilihan pertama sia kali ini.
Adakah tindakan Lojingki ini akan memberikan kesan kepada Pairin dan PBS? Mungkin ya, mungkin juga tidak.
ReplyDeleteWell, he still got plenty of close friends.
ReplyDeleteKawan bagik beliau menyertai STAR. Rasanya itu tidak ada masalah. Tidak semestinya kita satu kawan sama satu perjuangan. Tidak, pasti akan berlainan.
ReplyDeleteKawan memang kawan cuma pendapat politik sudah tidak sehaluan.
ReplyDeleteTak dapat jadi kawan macam ni.
Delete虽说知己，不过理想不同吧。算了，曾经拥有。
ReplyDeletePolitics is the worst enemy to friends.
ReplyDeletethat's the way to make sure your political future is always bright..
ReplyDeleteSo realistic.
ReplyDeleteI hope all this matter about politics will not have any conflicts.
ReplyDeleteLojingki was alrady with DDJK since 2008 or earlier...since when did he with Pairin again? actually he left PBS in 2008...this article is just a publicity
ReplyDeleteIt's time to choose new leader. Good move Lojingki.
ReplyDeleteFurther old broom become useless -- which means you have been there for too long and that you can't contribute much anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe first move to look into new leadership is to desert the present leadership. Which of course Lojingki done the right thing.
ReplyDeleteSaya fikir perjuangan STAR jauh lebih baik daripada perjuanagan PBS
