I REFER to the news report quoting Robert Linggi of Keningau PKR recently accusing Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan of splitting the opposition in Sabah.
This issue should not arise at all because Dr Jeffrey is leading a local party of a unified Sabah and Sarawak, something that we have all these years long for in Borneo but repeatedly denied the opportunity.
PKR's Robert should know that we need leadership from our own Sabah and Sarawak leaders if we are to empower East Malaysians again.
Under a Malaya-based PKR, Robert is merely allowing himself to be abused for outsiders' interest. Robert must realise now that a Malayan party would never be able to vouch for Sabah autonomous rights, and that is why Sarawakians had refused Malayan party in their state.
As someone who had held the post of PKR deputy head for the Keningau division, i know the mentality of national PKR leaders and how their minds work vis-a-vis Sabah right and aspirations. They are no better than UMNO on this.
Dr Jeffrey, on the other hand, through State Reform Party (STAR) has built a tri-partite alliance called United Borneo Alliance (UBA). Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) is wise enough to come and be part of UBA to unite the people, and Robert should emulate his fellow Sabahans by joining us in STAR or SAPP or even USNO Baru.
He will be welcome in UBA. By the way we respect the fact that Malaysia is a democratic country and we in STAR believed in giving the people a decent choice in the coming general election. Let the people decide.

STAR Not Splitting The Opposition
About sabahdaily
Not sure whether the people will accept STAR as STAR still new and not sure about their capability.
ReplyDeleteParti pembangkang harus berusaha dan mengetepikan faedah sendiri untuk memperjuangkan menghala misi yang sama.
ReplyDeletePerbelahan parti pembangkang cuma memberi peluang kepada BN untuk meneruskan pentadbirannya.
ReplyDeleteAdakah Jeffrey dan STAR brjaya menambat hari rakyat?
ReplyDeleteJust co-operate and bring more benefit to the people. They should prioritised the people.
ReplyDeleteSaya masih ingat pertandingan tiga penjuru pilihanraya kecil Batu Sapi di antara YTL, Linda dan Ansari yang akhirnya memberi kemenangan kepada Linda. Begitu juga pada PRU12 sepatutnya pembangkang mendapat lebih banyak kerusi tetapi kerana undi pembangkang di Sabah berpecah ketika itu maka memberi kelebihan kepada BN. Saya sendiri walaupun saya tidak suka BN jika berlaku pertembungan antara pembangkang dan pembangkang lebih baik saya duduk di rumah kerana BN tetap akan menang.
ReplyDeleteStar dan pembangkang lain takkan dpt bekerjsama. ini pasti memberi kelebihan kepada BN.
ReplyDeleteStar tidak akan dapat bekerjasama dengan parti lain. Pasti ini akan memihak lebih kepada BN.
ReplyDeleteInilah yang dikatakan masing-masing mahu jadi hero, sikap pembangkang yang seringkali kedengaran tidak sehaluan pastinya akan memberikan kelebihan kepada parti pemerintah.Memang benar STAR ingin memperjuangkan hak-hak rakyat negeri sabah dalam Malaysia akan tetapi sejauhmana kekuatan STAR yang datang dari negeri jiran sangat kabur untuk rakyat di sabah. Kepada anda yang beria-ia nak jadi calon STAR terimalah hakikat wang deposit anda akan hangus. HIDUP BN.
ReplyDeleteSTAR akan menjadi top-up kpd BN nanti utk berkuasa kalau dia menang. Jika PR yg memerintah dia akan menjadi parti pembangkang walaupun memerintah Sabah. Kalau pun join PR hanya sebagai anak tiri. Kesimpulannya STAR tidak dpt menyelasaikan masalah. Lebih baik bersatu melalui PR dan belakang baru buat demand.
ReplyDeleteThe opposition parties will need to cooperate if they want to bring down BN/UMNO.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that the opposition parties will not cooperate with each other due to their selfish attitude.
ReplyDeleteSTAR seharusnya meneruskan perjuangan mereka. Jangan biarkan PR datang untuk bersatu dengan STAR. Bukankah STAR parti Borneo saja. Jadi sudah semestinya tidak layak untuk berkerjasama dengan PR.
ReplyDeleteStar hanya memecah belahkan parti2 pembangkang yang ada di Sabah.
ReplyDeleteTiada guna kalau Sabah ada banyak parti pembangkang, BN tetap boleh menang juga.
ReplyDeleteStar masih belum boleh di terima oleh rakyat sabah.
ReplyDeleteKerjasama pembangkang tidak akan menjadi kerana masing2 ada agenda sendiri.
ReplyDeleteParti pembangkang yang baru ini hanya untuk memeriahkan PRU13 sahaja nanti.
ReplyDeleteBN pasti akan menang kerana terlalu banyak parti pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteof course you did it.. just admit that you splitting the opposition.. whatever your reason is, during the next GE, voters will not choose between BN or Opposition, but between BN, PR, STAR and SAPP..
ReplyDeleteI don't think that SAPP will ready to be part of UBA or STAR unless JK can ensure that YTL will be the next CM if they managed to win in the next GE..
ReplyDeleteWe need leaders who are to empower the people of Sabah and Sarawak.
ReplyDeleteThe people desire leaders who can truly bring change and benefits to Sabah.
ReplyDeleteOpposition parties should try and set aside their own interest to fight facing the same mission.
ReplyDeleteLack of cooperation would eventually lead to no way besides dispute.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see what happens during the next GE.
ReplyDeleteTheir chant for ABU will never materialized if they keep on with this disputes among them. BN just sit on the sideline laughing at them.
ReplyDeleteHIDUP BN!
Asalkan Bukan UMNO/BN (Anything But UMNO/BN), ABU!!!
ReplyDeleteIni Kali Lah!!! Kalau bukan kita, siapa lagi??? Kalau bukan sekarang, bila lagi???
Dikatakan ada lebih 300 orang aktivis daripada UBF akan keluar dari NGO ini untuk mengikuti BN kerana menganggap perjuangan UBF semakin terjejas bila digunakan sebagai alat politik Star.
ReplyDeleteAdakah Star masih memegang kepada pendirian semasa menubuhkan UBF sebelum ini?
