Two senior members from the defunct Sabah People’s Front Party (SPF) yesterday urged the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to investigate and explain the amendment that has resulted in SPF being named Sarawak Workers Party (SWP).
Santain Manurun, who held the post of secretary general at SPF, claimed that SPF had over 38,556 members in Sabah and that their fate, following the name change, is unknown.
“Our rights was taken from us, just like that. There needs to be a solution to this problem,” he said.
Santain asked about the process that led to SPF being renamed SWP, saying ROS should provide them with the answer.
He also contended that the name change from SPF to SWP was invalid as the pro tem president for SWP, Dr Ong Lark Sai is a Sarawakian.
“The Section 7 of the SPF constitution clearly defined that only Malaysians residing in Sabah were eligible to be members of SPF… since Ong is a Sarawakian, then it is invalid,” he said.
He also said the dissolution of SPF never took place.
Present during the meeting with the media was SPF honorary treasurer Joseph Lusin Balangon.
The name change allegedly took place sometime in May this year, and ROS senior assistant director Desmond Das was reported as saying then that SWP was the new name given to the old SPF, a party registered in December 2010.
He said the name change was legally provided under Section 11 of the Societies Act 1966.
He also said that following the takeover, SPF is now defunct. (theborneopost)

SWP ialah BN friendly. Wayanglah...mana jeruk makan jeruk. Mana mau pndaftaran haramkan! Kalu sukung pembangkang lain ceritalah.
ReplyDeleteNow being in Sarawak party? I don't understand.
ReplyDeleteMacam mana juga boleh terjadi kejadian sebegini?
ReplyDeletePerhaps the name has been misused by an individual.
ReplyDeleteJadi kemukakan saman la, senang aja.
ReplyDeleteHijacked? What a weird incident.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite confusing.
ReplyDeleteSPF kurang dikenali di kalangan golongan muda. Apa fungsi SPF?
ReplyDeleteJIka ada bukti yang menunjukkan seperti yang di laporkan jangan teagak2 untuk bertindak.
ReplyDeleteKalau sudah tidak berfungsi adalah lebih baik dibatalkan sahaja.
ReplyDeleteSaya tidak faham perjuangan SPF
ReplyDeleteLebih baik bubarkan saja SPF tu.
ReplyDeleteHarap isu Sabah People Front bertukar nama menjadi Sarawak Worker's Party ini akan mendapat penjelasan daripad pihak berkenaan.
ReplyDeleteBagus bubarkan saja SPF yang sudah lama terbengkalai, tak perlulah membuang masa lagi kerana ahli-ahli SPF sudah lama tidak mengambil bahagian dalam politik.
ReplyDeleteSaya tak tahu sangat isu ni. Namun saya harap ia dapat ditanggani dengan baik.
ReplyDeleteMungkin ada baiknya juga jika hal ini diberi perhatian sewajarnya.
ReplyDeleteDengan adanya tindakan lanjut, kita dapat juga tahu apa yang berlaku sebenarnya.
ReplyDeleteSiasat hal ini dan biar kita tunggu apa hasil siasatan pihak berkuasa dulu.
ReplyDeleteSusah nak cakap saja, sebab tahu sajalah zaman sekarang sukar nak percayakan sesuatu tanpa bukti kukuh.
ReplyDeleteHow is it possible for a sabah party turned into a sarawak party??confuseeee
ReplyDeleteMaybe its better to have SFP dissolved. Aren't there too many parties in sabah already?
ReplyDeleteThis matter should be investigated.
ReplyDeletehairan knp pendaftaran semula USNO x diluluskan ROS???
ReplyDeletethe answer from ROS;
ReplyDeleteThe official said that ROS wanted all quarters to stop questioning the legality of SWP.
“Let’s move on and get on to more serious matters instead of harping on the legitimacy of SWP’s existence,” said the official.
the answer from ROS;
ReplyDeleteThe official also pointed out that his office had already made it clear that the party was legitimate as all the documents submitted to the ROS were found to be in order when the party applied for a change of name, address, logo and constitution.
the answer from ROS;
ReplyDeleteThe official said that it was ‘irritating’ to note that there certain groups were still questioning SWP’s legitimacy after several months.
sebarang isu yang berlaku harus diselesaikan dengan baik.
ReplyDeletesebaiknya pihak yang berkaitan memberikan penjelasan berhubung pekara ini.
ReplyDeleteapa pun, harap ini akan cepat selesai..
ReplyDeleteBawa ke Mahkamah baru tahu pihak mana yg betul!
ReplyDeleteSerahkan kepada SBF untuk menentukannya.
ReplyDeleteSemoga isu ini dapat ditanggani dengan baik agar tidak merugikan sesiapa.
ReplyDeleteBanyak sangat parti di Sabah. Merunsingkan dan ini cuma memecahkan undian sahaja.
ReplyDeleteBubarkan saja SPF...Memang kena sokong ini disuruh bubarkan saja jika tidak ada fungsi yang sepatutnya.
ReplyDeleteSPF tak ada sumbangan pun, baik bubarkan saja.
