Government to get rid of illegals

This is certainly good news for us Sabahans but should've been done long, long time ago.

RM50m allocation to repatriate Sabah illegals

"We have to be determined about this. We cannot, after the launch of the operation, allow this problem to recur in Sabah. "We must regard this as a continuous effort to not only control it, but stop it from recurring," he said at a press conference in Parliament after chairing a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah yesterday.

Massive swoop on illegals in Sabah next month

“This shows that the Government has the political will to resolve the issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah. We do not want this problem to recur,” said Najib after chairing a meeting on illegal immigrants with Sabah political leaders, Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar and others at Parliament yesterday.

Right, political will after the thought of losing some seats in Sabah, especially from SAPP. Anyway, hopefully they will beef up the borders so they will not enter into Sabah after 2 weeks being deported.

But how many have got their IC through the project ICs only those responsible will know. I wonder if the government wants to persecute those guilty.

Non-Malays are illegal descendants

Sometimes I wonder if our MPs are really sensitive towards their fellow Malaysians or all of them just waiting for the turn to hog the limelight.

After one MP called for the killing an indian rather than the snake, now another one comes with a super idiotic statement. Pasir Salak MP Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman labelled non-Malays in the country as immigrants in his debate in the Dewan Rakyat on the 9th Malaysia Plan mid-term review on Tuesday.

What? He thinks in Malaysia there are only 3 races is it? Malays, Chinese and Indians?

Now he says Malay are the indigenious people here? Yah right.

Just because he's from UMNO (where they don't teach the basic rule of respecting others) doesn't mean we should let it go.

The orang asli tribe should get their blowpipes and spears and chase these dreamers away from THEIR LAND. Just like what we, the Kadazans, Dusuns, Lundayeh, Melanau and the rest to chase away the illegals and power-crazy businessmen from the west malaysia in trying to take over OUR LAND!

Local authorities incompetent

If there was anything that we can learn from yesterday's petrol panic buying that caused hours of traffic jams and petrol wastage by queueing, it was the incompetency of the local authorities!

You can't blame the people, with the thought of the price of petrol going up further, everyone will slit each others' throats just to get the cheaper price.

Blame the traffic police, the radio stations and gas station owners. The SMSes started around noon and saw people lining up at the stations since 2pm, giving the authorities especially the police more than ample time to inform the motorists that those were just rumours. Instead the traffic congestion build up and hit maximum when people got off from work at 5pm.

So traffic jams were everywhere in KK that lasted only until 8pm.

What the authorities should've done.

1. Traffic police should have been stationed on every gas stations and control the traffic flow, while also disseminate the fact that the rumours were untrue. So motorists who still have fuel can turn back and go home. Did anyone see any traffic police yesterday? I for one, didn't see any on my journey, even the newspapers pictures didn't show any presence of the traffic personnel.
2. Radio stations should have broadcast this every 5 minutes, I know the local KK-based did but how many were listening to the Bajau broadcast? The announcement should've been broadcasted by all the major radio stations in the country, Hitz.fm, ERA, LightFM, MyFM and the rest. I think this is a failure to counter such a rumour.
3. Gas station owner should not take advantage of the situation, they should ask their staff to put up manilacard to inform people that those were just rumours and they are not closing for 3 days!

Of course I still blame the people who queue up eventhough they still have petrol in their tanks. Oii - if the SMS says the station will close at 4pm and you are queueing at 6pm, do you still think the SMS is true?

Imagine if there were more serious rumour? Palis-palis but what if there were rumours saying a group of Race-A are beating up Race-B people for no reason at all. They all just wait to collect the bodies?

SAPP MPs Threatened

Two Sabah MPs recalled home after 'threats'

KOTA KINABALU: The two MPs of the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) have been recalled home to Sabah for security reasons, said party president Datuk Yong Teck Lee.

He claimed that the two MPs – Datuk Eric Enchin Majimbun (Sepanggar) and Datuk Dr Chua Soon Bui (Tawau) – had been threatened by certain quarters over SAPP’s decision to support a no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister.

The two MPs, who were in Kuala Lumpur to attend the Parliament meeting which began yesterday, were told to return immediately.

... is Eric Majimbun backtracking from SAPP's endorsement?

Majimbun denies favouring no-confidence motion

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party member of parliament for Sepanggar Datuk Eric Enchin Majimbun has denied that he would support a parliamentary motion of no confidence in the prime minister.
"I have lost confidence in the leadership but I never said I would support a vote of no confidence (in the prime minister)," he told the New Straits Times.

Majimbun said his statement issued on Wednesday, when party president Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee held a press conference to announce that the SAPP would push for a vote of no confidence in Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, made no mention of supporting such a move.

and ACA wastes no time to question Datuk Yong over his involvement in a 5 million payout when he was Chief Minister.

Gerak Khas Msia : Yong implicated in RM5mil abuse

Wow. Barely a day after Datuk Yong's open defiance of our Prime Minister, today his name was implicated in an on-going court case involving Datuk Kasitah Gadam's corruption trial.

Over RM5mil given out on Yong’s instruction, High Court told

I guess that's what happens when you turn your back againts the government, all the invisible cloak over you is gone.

SP : We Support Datuk Yong

It was indeed a bombshell when Datuk Yong called up the press conference yesterday. Eventhough it fell short of SAPP leaving the BN immediately, it still caused some ripples in the state and national political scene.

Mostly BN leaders were trying to distance themselves from Datuk Yong now, most of them would just play it safe and kept quiet.

But what matter is the rakyat, the people of Sabah. Are they fully behind Datuk Yong? From my own personal front, I SUPPORT DATUK YONG! This is the Sabahan Pride that I want to instill in the people of Sabah.

Checking out SAPP's poll on their blog, here are the results so far.

Total votes: 258

Total votes: 6058

Well I know we can't judge by these polls alone but Sabahans are already damn tired of all these "delaying tactics" by BN in solving issues faced by Sabahans EVERYDAY!

"“Our MPs will support a vote of no-confidence on the Prime Minister. Whether the motion will be tabled by our party MP or another party’s MP will be decided in due course,” he said on the 101st day of the Barisan government holding 140 of the 222 parliament seats."

Balls trying to fit into BN's asshol3

CHIEF Minister Datuk Musa Aman: I deeply regret the party’s action. I do not know what is their actual motive. As a Barisan component, such a move is uncalled for and unprecedented based on the spirit of camaraderie practised by Barisan all this while.

Datuk Abdul Ghapur Salleh (Kalabakan MP): As a member of Umno and Barisan, I’m sticking with Barisan. We may sound like the opposition but we are just voicing the sentiments of the people. Logically you can’t move a no-confidence motion against the leader of your own party. I think they want to be sacked.

United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation secretary general Datuk Wilfred Tangau: It is their right to take such an action. I can’t speak for the party, but we will be discussing whether to support such a move.”

Backbenchers Club deputy chairman Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin (Kinabatangan MP): We know they are frustrated but this is not the way for a Barisan component to act. It goes against the Barisan spirit.

Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah president Tan Sri Joseph Kurup (Pensiangan MP): This is an unacceptable act. Why do they need to exert pressure on Pak Lah who has already made known the transition of the nation’s leadership.

“Maybe, it is better for him to leave. This move is as good as calling on the Prime Minister to step down. It is unbecoming. He (Yong) should leave,” he said yesterday.
