KOTA KINABALU: Upko deputy president Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing will be launching his new political platform, Angkatan Perubahan Sabah (Sabah Reform Movement) or APS during a special gathering on July 29.
The member of parliament for Tuaran will also be announcing his political ‘halatuju’ (direction) in the same event.
A spokesman for the organising committee told FMT today that invitations had been sent to the MP’s supporters as well at leaders from both side of the political divide in Sabah.
In launching APS, Bumburing is also expected to formally announce his resignation from Upko and spell out his planned political’s direction after leaving the ruling national coalition.
Upko, headed by Bernard Dompok, is a component party member of Barisan Nasional.
“Bumburing will reveal his future plans and the objectives of APS, ” the spokesman said, adding that the function will start at 1pm.
Opposition leaders are expected to be with Bumburing at the Sunday gathering.
Upko leaders, incumbent MPs, assemblymen and former lawmakers who had hints that they would not be fielded by their respective parties in the 13th general election will also be guests during the function.
Bumburing, a former deputy chief minister and ex-assemblyman for Tamparuli, was elected MP in the 2008 election after incumbent Wilffred Madius Tangau made way for him to contest the seat, with an agreement that the former will make way for the latter in the 13th general election.
Tangau is Upko secretary-general and now wants the seat back.
‘No more postponements’
Meanwhile, the Sunday function will be the third in which Bumburing is scheduled to announce his resignation from Barisan Nasional, the first being last month and second one on July 15.
Both previous functions were aborted and it was announced that another function for the same purpose will be held on Aug 26, this year.
But after much publicity both in the various newspapers and alternative media, it now appears Bumburing has brought forward his function to July 29.
“There will be no more postponements, banners inviting the people to attend Sunday will be put up within this few days,” the organiser said.
Asked whether Umno MP for Beaufort Lajim Ukin will be at the function, the organiser confirmed that the federal deputy minister for housing and local government is on the invited guests’ list.
Lajim, an Umno supreme council member, has also declared that he was on the way out of BN to join the opposition.
Lajim however did not state which opposition party he will be joining.
Sabah chapter of the State Reform Party (STAR) deputy head Daniel John Jambuan, when contacted, said his party members and its chairman Jeffrey Kitingan are yet to receive invitations to attend the Sunday function.
“I hope this time, it is for real (not to be aborted) again. I also hope he (Bumburing) will not be a proxy or stooge for Kuala Lumpur,” Jambun said.
Have we not enough parties in Sabah and now BN will be laughing with the split opposition. We are selling out ourselves by being selfish.
ReplyDeleteBuatlah pilihan yang terbaik. Sebab itulah tertubuhnya banyak parti. Parti yang terbaik sudah pasti akan menjadi pilihan bukan. Kita perlulah bijak untuk rakyat Sabah.
DeleteEvery senior politician in Sabah seem wanted to own their own party ... everyone have their direction, I don't know this is ego, selfish or something more... if they refuse to cooperate then BN will have the last laugh .....
ReplyDeleteThe more opposition party in the state, the more votes will be split during the next general elections.
DeleteAPS mungkin akan berkubur tidak lama lepas penubuhannya...
Deletesudahlah sebelum ni Sabah sudah ada banyak parti tambah lagi parti baru.
DeleteEntah kenapa susah sangat ka mereka ni bekerjasama? Mahu juga tubuh parti snediri. Lepas tu, sekejap ja pincang lagi balik. huhuhu
DeleteAPS tidak diterima mungkin. Tengok saja SAPP sebagai contoh parti yang sudah lama tapi sehingga sekarang sokongan rakyat tetap kurang. Jadi banyak-banyak parti pun tidak ada guna kalau berjuang untuk kepentingan diri sendiri semata-mata.
DeleteWahai warga Sabah sekalian,
ReplyDeleteNampaknya WB panggil perjumpaan pada 29 Julai untuk mengumumkan halatuju perjuangan politiknya secara peribadi bukan untuk Sabah. Bacalah flyernya. Teras perjuangan Angkatan Perubaban Sabah (APS) adalah mempertahankan kedaulatan negeri Sabah sebagai sebuah negeri dalam Persekutuan Malaysia serta mendaulatkan Perlembagaan.
Jelas ini akun bahawa Sabah salah 1 drpd 13 negeri seperti dalam Perlembagaan dan bukan 1 daripada 3 rakan kongsi seperti dalam Perjanjian Malaysia.
Mahukah kita memartabatkan Sabah sebagai 1 drpd 3 rakan kongs sama taraf atau mahukah kita kekal sebagai 1 drpd 13 negeri?
basgu WB bersara terus...tidak payah lagi berpolitik..
Deletejawapan saya : JANGAN...!!!
ReplyDeleteinikalilah....
bukan lain kali....
Kami Mahu kedaulatan Negara SABAH dipelihara...!!!!!!!!!!.............
Malaysia sudah pun meredeka 55 tahun dan Sabah sudah merdeka melalui Malaysia 49 tahun yang lalu.Apa lagi yang kita mahukan? Adakah selepas 49 atau 50 tahun barulah kita tersentak atau inginkan sesuatu yang lain? Kenapa ?
ReplyDeleteMalaysia ditubuhkan pada 16 Sept 1963, baru 49 tahun. Sebelum tu, Malaysia tidak wujud. Macam mana boleh merdeka 55 tahun. Pakai apa jenis kalkulator, ngam kah pengiraan itu 55 tahun?
DeleteSabah merdeka pada 31 Ogos 1963, tahun in 49 tahun. Adakah kita sambut kemerdekaan Sabah 49 tahun pada 31 Ogos 2012 ini?
mana sudah pakar sejarah negara malaysia? sila komen sikit...
DeleteTan Sri, Sabah harus menjadi salah 1 daripada 13 negeri dalam Malaysia atau salah 1 daripada 3 negara yang menubuhkan Malaysia pada 16 September 1963?
ReplyDeleteSabah dan Sarawak are equal partners with Malaya as agreed between our leaders during the formation of Malaysia.
DeleteWB got only 6 nominations in Upko party elections and Tangau got 34 nominations. How can WB lead KDM in Sabah, if cannot even get support to lead Upko? That's why we don't need him in Upko. Do Sabah need him? Do KDM need him? Of course Pkr need him because Pkr Sabah has no capable leaders. KU cant even get into Tuaran Pkr.
ReplyDeletePKR is desperate for more members that they are willing to take in any Tom, Dick and Harry from BN recycle bin.
Deletepkr memang terdesak pun...
DeleteWill the Angkatan Perubahan Sabah be competing as a political party during the next GE?
ReplyDeleteIni parti politik ka atau sekadar pertubuhan?
Deleteia bukan parti politik, ia pertubuhan seperti UBF.
DeleteSo this Sabah Reform Movement will be fighting Jeffrey Kitingan's United Borneo Front for the people's support?
ReplyDeleteBerapa banyak pertubuhan mahu ditubuhkan untuk mengangkat hak Sabah? Banyak2 pun tiada guna kalau tidak efektif.
DeleteJika suda tidak dapat berkhidmat untuk rakyat adalah lebih baik beri peluang kepada mereka yang ingin berkhidmat untuk rakyat Sabah.
ReplyDeletebagus juga kalau bumburing terus pencen...
DeleteBukankah sebelum ni WB sudah menyertai Amanah? berapa banyak lagi parti dan pertubuhan yang mau disertainya?
DeleteTindakan WB letak jawatan memang mahu memberi peluang kepada pemimpin muda yang lain.
Deletesusah juga kalau terlampau banyak pertubuhan yang ada.
DeleteBanyak betul khabar angin sekarang, rakyat jangan mudah terpengaruh.
DeleteLebih baik bersatu daripada bermusuh sesama Sabahans. Tidak ada gunanya bermusuh kerana orang luar akan menggunakan ini sebagai senjata mereka.
ReplyDeleteBukan senang untuk bersatu padu tetapi amat mudah untuk meruntuhkan suatu perpaduan itu. Rakyat Sabah kena satu hati jika mahu perubahan positif.
DeleteMacamna mau satu hati kalau semua mau jadi ketua. Lebih2 lagi pembangkang.
DeleteBukan mudah sebab masing-masing tidak bersefahaman.
Deleteundilah dengan bijak...
ReplyDeleteMakin banyak parti yang bertanding maka makin berpecahlah undi rakyat..
ReplyDeletemakin byk pecahan undi, ia akan beri kelebiha kepada BN.
DeleteBN pasti akan menang besar pada PRU kali ini.
DeleteBaguslah kalau banyak parti bertanding. Jadi Rakyat pun banyak pilihan yang terbaik untuk diri mereka.
DeleteSusah nak ramal apa yang akan berlaku seterusnya. So apa yang boleh dikatakan ialah buatlah pilihan yang bijak.
ReplyDeletememang pun, dalam politk macam-macam boleh berlaku.
DeleteJangan sia-siakan kuasa undi yang ada keran ia satu-satunya peluang rakyat untuk memastikan hanya yang terbaik menang pada PRU13 nanti.
ReplyDeleteRakyat sendiri yang menentukan masa depan sendiri, jadi undilah dengan bijak.
DeletePolitik, politik... Pening kepala nak fikir. Kita tunggu sajalah apa yang akan berlaku selanjutnya nanti.
ReplyDeleteMacam2 politik ini, yang penting rakyat tahu apa yang baik untuk Sabah.
Deleteramalan pak luncai, wb akan terus berkubur selepas pru13.
ReplyDeleteSerpihan PBS telah mula Booking Lot kuburan sendiri. Harga Lot kuburan sekarang mahal bah. Lajim telah umumkan lotnya dia kata harganya RM20,000.00.Bumburing punya lot berapa harga? Siapa pula selepas-selepas ini...? kita tunggu...........tetap**
DeleteJust wait and see what will Bumburing say on this 29th July.
ReplyDeletesetuju, tunggu dan lihat apa yang beliau akan umumkan nanti.
Deletedi Sabah terlampau banyak parti pembangkang dan mereka saling tidak sehaluan.
ReplyDeleteItulah pembangkang harus mencari jalan untuk bekerjasama.
DeletePembangkang terus bermimpi untuk kalahkan BN jika jentera sendiri tidak mantap
DeleteParti baru lagi, bikin semak sahaja si bumburing ni.
ReplyDeleteSudah disahkan Bumbering keluar dari BN?
ReplyDeleteWhere will Bumbering go after leaving BN? PKR? PAS?
ReplyDeleteMost probably Bumburing will be joining PKR.
DeleteHopefully not. Bumburing will launch his new political platform.
DeleteAll the best and good luck
