SABAH DIIBARATKAN SEPERTI TELUR DIHUJUNG TANDUK…..?

Terlebih dahulu ‘Aki kalawon’ ingin mengucapkan TAHNIAH dan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Razak sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke 6, yang baru mengangkat sumpah pada 04/04/2009 yakni; kelmarin. Saya percaya dan yakin kewibawaan beliau menerajui kerajaan Malaysia INSYA ALLAH diberkati ALLAH yang Maha Kuasa, agar seluruh rakyat Malaysia sentiasa dalam keadaan aman, damai serta dapat menikmati segala hasil dan segala kemudahan daripada apa yang di ilhamkan oleh pucuk pimpinan kerajaan.

Sebagai salah seorang anak watan Malaysia di Sabah, begitu perihatin tentang kedudukan sebagai rakyat Sabah sejak tahun 1963 Sabah menyertai perkongsian kuasa dengan Malaysia. Kerajaan Sabah dipimpin dan diterajui oleh Ketua Menteri yang bersilih ganti hinggah lah pada hari ini dan begitu juga dengan kepimpinan diperingkat Nasional, bahawa Perdana Menteri juga bersilih ganti, namun Aki Kalawon melihat kedudukan Sabah dalam Malaysia seperti Telur Dihujung Tanduk. Tidak terlintas didalam fikiran dan niat untuk menunjukkan HERO dalam konteks ini, tetapi walaupun saya sebagai rakyat biasa yang tidak mempunyai kedudukan dalam kerajaan, saya rasa bersalah seandainya perkara ini; juga hak saya sebagai rakyat Sabah tidak diutarakan dengan serious, kerana lambat laun perkara ini menjadi suatu masalah Nasional yang sukar diubati seandainya tidak diselesaikan lebih awal secara tertib, aman dan damai.

Saya telah melayari dalam internet berhubung dengan “Royal Sultan Sulu & Sabah”, apa yang ada dalam isi kandungan artikel tersebut amat menakutkan dan mendukacitakan pada rakyat Sabah. Kandungannya berbunyi seperti berikut;

IN 1963, MALAYSIA ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED SABAH TO THIS DAY. It was said that a referendum was held for the people of Sabah to join Malaysia but this referendum was unfair and unlawful because Malaysia did not inform and did not give any opportunity to the owners of Sabah namely the Sultan of Sulu and the Sultanate of Sulu to present their side as landowners of Sabah before and during the said referendum.

Therefore, this referendum being unilateral and one-sided was unlawful and null and void ab initio and had no effect on the land ownership of the Sultan of Sulu and the Sultanate of Sulu over Sabah. Sabah is still the property of the Sultan and the Sultanate of Sulu to this day. His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I, The Sultan of Sulu & The Sultan of Sabah, Head of the Sultanate and Head of Islam in the Sultanate of Sulu & Sabah, along with the Royal Family and the Royal Cabinet, support A FREE AND INDEPENDENT SABAH under a Parliamentary Monarchy whereby Members of Parliament are elected by the people of Sabah provided, howsoever, that a free and independent Sabah will be under the reign of His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I and his successors according to law of succession as King of Sabah.

In this proposal, the King of Sabah will reign and the Sabah Parliament will rule and administer services beneficial to all the people of Sabah. This proposal will finally resolve the age-old recovery problem of Sabah because the Sultan of Sulu & The Sultan of Sabah as lawful owner has agreed with this compromise solution that will be a win-win position to everyone concerned. This also means that the resources of Sabah and its gross domestic product, as well as the nearly 1 million barrels of oil pumped per day in Sabah, amounting to USD100 Billion per year, will be utilized for social and economic developments of the beloved people of Sabah. As per energy report, Sabah contains over 70% of oil reserves of Malaysia today but with this reality, Malaysia (a Muslim nation), dispossessed their Muslim brothers and sisters of their Sabah property without just compensation. This act of Malaysia is Un-Islamic and against the law of Allah and must be rejected by good peoples and the international community of nations. It is, however, necessary that Sabah assists in the much needed social and economic developments of their underprivileged Muslim brothers and sisters in the Sultanate of Sulu and of Mindanao.

This compromise solution is agreed to by His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I to resolve the Sabah recovery issue by peaceful means. Eventually, once this proposal is well-received and welcomed by the good poeple of Sabah, they will then become the masters of their own destiny and the masters of their resources in Sabah worth over USD100 Billion per year, with said resources now siphoned off to Kuala Lumpur. We pray the good people of Sabah will act on this once in a lifetime opportunity to resolve the Sabah recovery issue by peaceful means.

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!!!

Berdasarkan dengan petikan diatas, Aki kalawon rasa sungguh menyedihkan, kita telah meraihkan kemerdekaan ke 51 tahun, tapi masalah ini masih belum terselesai. Seandainya pucuk pimpinan terlalu sibuk dengan pembangunan yang beratus-ratus billion di Sabah, tapi pada hakikatnya, tidak ada gunanya sekiranya perkara ini belum diselesaikan. Maka dengan itu saya percaya dengan kepimpinan Yang Amat Berhormat Dato Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang baru, dapat melihat masalah rakyat Sabah yang dianggap sebagai suatu penyakit kenser yang merbahaya seandainya ianya diambil perkara yang remeh.

BN perlu perubahan drastik: Muhyiddin

KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) kini melalui ujian paling getir dan gagasan pemerintahan itu mungkin menghadapi kemusnahan jika tiada tindakan drastik diambil untuk menangani kemerosotan sokongan maka, kata Naib Presiden Umno, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Muhyiddin berkata, walaupun BN merangkumi 13 parti komponen, Umno cuba memperbaiki imej parti untuk meningkatkan keyakinan rakyat dan lebih banyak usaha perlu dilakukan segera.

“Kita tidak bekerjasama dalam usaha kita. Oleh kerana kita lambat melakukan perubahan, ramai berpendapat Umno tidak akan berubah. Jika ambil masa terlalu lama untuk berubah maka orang tidak akan menunggu kita.

“Situasi kekalahan dua pertiga majoriti BN di Parlimen selepas pilihan raya umum Mac tahun lalu masih tidak berubah.

“Kita perlu lebih berkesan dan melaksanakan perkara luar biasa pada masa luar biasa,” katanya pada majlis penyampaian hadiah Kejohanan Golf Amal, Tan Sri Muhyiddin, di MINES Golf and Beach Resort di sini, hari ini.

Muhyiddin yang juga Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri berkata, bukan saja Umno sebagai tulang belakang BN yang perlu berubah, parti komponen lain juga perlu berbuat demikian.

“Situasi akan bertambah teruk jika kita menunggu lama untuk melaksanakan perubahan. Umno mesti memimpin dalam melakukan perubahan drastik. Kita khuatir dengan situasi ini,” katanya.Mengenai ekonomi negara, Muhyiddin berkata keadaan Malaysia adalah lebih baik dalam menghadapi krisis ekonomi global berbanding negara lain.

Beliau, yang baru kembali dari mengiringi Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, dalam rangka lawatan ke Bahrian, Qatar dan Emiriyah Arab Bersatu (UAE), berkata walaupun negara tidak mengalami kemelesatan ekonomi namum situasi ekonomi global tidak berkembang.

“Rakyat Malaysia harus tabah menghadapi perubahan. Walaupun kita tidak menghadapi kemelesatan ekonomi namun perlu mengambil langkah meringankan impak krisis ekonomi global,” katanya.

Sementara itu, kejohanan golf amal itu berjaya mengumpul RM20,000 yang disumbangkan kepada Tabung Bantuan Kemanusiaan Gaza, anjuran akhbar Berita Harian. - Bernama

KURUP DARES PAIRIN TO DEBATE

23rd January, 2009 KOTA KINABALU: PBRS president Tan Sri Joseph Kurup has challenged his Barisan Nasional (BN) colleague Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan to an open debate over the candidacy for the much-anticipated Pensiangan by-election. Kurup who is the Deputy Minister of Rural Development urged Pairin who is the PBS president not to hide behind his secretary-general Datuk Radin Malleh and to face him as a gentleman. “I would like to meet Datuk Pairin face to face to debate on his recent statement on the candidacy in Pensiangan and the implications of that statement as well as what I said about his performance as a two-term Pensiangan MP and his “colourful and well documented history with BN,” he said here yesterday. He was responding to a statement issued by Radin on Wednesday questioning him (Kurup) on his chances of winning the Pensiangan seat, if and when a by-election was called. Radin especially reminded Kurup that the Pensiangan seat was never won by PBRS in the real sense of the word but was given a ‘free ride’ in the spirit of the BN. Radin was responding to Kurup’s attack on Pairin for ruling him out as the automatic choice of candidate for the by-election. And he even quipped that Kurup himself was the one who did not know how to read the political situation and local sentiments in Pensiangan which indicated that the voters wanted a local Murut to be the candidate. Kurup, according to Radin, should rule himself out of the running since he was neither a local of the area nor a Murut and he had lost before not only there but in other seats as well. Taking Kurup to task for questioning Pairin over his record of public service and ridiculing him in the media, Radin pointed out that Kurup had failed the people wherever he represented them and that it was evident from the talk on the ground. He cited for example when Kurup was the state assemblyman for Sook from 1985 to 1999 and again from 2004 to 2008 but failed to deliver his promises. In addition, he also held the post of state Finance Minister and Deputy Chief Minister during that period and now a federal Deputy Minister for Rural and Regional Development. He thus advised Kurup to think of the people of Pensiangan and not just of himself. “Kurup should do some soul-searching for the sake of the people in Pensiangan as well as the fate of the BN,” said Radin. Kurup was offended by Pairin’s remarks and retaliated by hitting him with remarks which did not go down well with PBS and state BN leaders. “As much as I would not like to say anything, I am compelled to do so in response to Pairin’s interference in this well-prepared machinery when he raised the question of the candidate for Pensiangan,” said Kurup. He said Pairin’s remarks would undoubtedly weaken, to an extent, their election machinery and his ill-conceived remarks were definitely not in line with the BN spirit. And, Kurup also claimed that the people knew who to vote for and that Pairin was out of touch with reality, lacked the BN spirit since he pulled out from the coalition two decades ago, and had a poor record of public service when he was Chief Minister (1985-1994). Radin’s remark that Kurup had failed the people was echoed by former Pensiangan MP Bernard S Maraat, who recently quit PBRS to join PBS. Bernard who has been appointed chairman of the Sandakan Sawit Palm Oil Industrial Cluster, was denied the chance to defend his seat in last year’s March 8 general election when Kurup decided that he wanted the seat for himself. “We don’t want Pensiangan to become the third opposition victim after the BN lost two parliamentary by-elections in Permatang Pauh and Kuala Terengganu,” said Maraat. He also conceded that the constituents of Pensiangan were no longer satisfied with such handouts like chainsaw, parang, cangkul, rice mill and grass cutter as inducement to vote for BN. “We have done all this previously,” he said. Bernard also urged the state government to see to it that all projects promised were promptly implemented in Pensiangan. “It is important for the federal government to start the projects without further delay. We don’t want any delay to be politicised by the opposition during the Pensiangan by-election. “All elected representatives and government departments should sit down together and settle the matter as quickly as possible. If not, the people will not only reject the BN in the Pensiangan by-election but also in the next general election,” he added. Kurup’s victory in Pensiangan at the last election was declared null and void last Sept 8 by the Election Court following a petition brought by PKR candidate Danny Anthony Andipai. Andipai is said to have the support of Pakatan Rakyat leaders to contest in the seat as the opposition candidate. “Sabah PKR deputy chief Ansari Abdullah is not the only one to favour Andipai as the candidate,” said PKR Tuaran division secretary, Jumin Jeffrey Masuling. “Other Pakatan components like DAP and PAS would not deny Andipai the chance to contest should he be selected as the candidate for the seat. It is obviously because of him that the seat fell vacant,” Jumin added. Sources : New Sabah Times.

Obama steps into history as the first black US president

21st January, 2009

WASHINGTON: Stepping into history, Barack Hussein Obama grasps the reins of power as America’s first black president in a high-noon inauguration amid grave economic worries and high expectations.

Braving icy temperatures and possible snow flurries, hundreds of thousands of people descended on the heavily guarded capital city Tuesday for the first change of administrations since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Two years after beginning his improbable quest as a little-known, first-term Illinois senator with a foreign-sounding name, Obama moves into the Oval Office as the nation’s fourth youngest president, at 47, and the first African-American, a racial barrier-breaking achievement believed impossible by generations of minorities.

Around the world, Obama’s election electrified millions with the hope that America will be more embracing, more open to change.

The dawn of the new Democratic era — with Obama allies in charge of both houses of Congress — ends eight years of Republican control of the White House by George W. Bush. He leaves Washington as one of the nation’s most unpopular and divisive presidents, the architect of two unfinished wars and the man in charge at a time of economic calamity that swept away many Americans’ jobs, savings, homes and dreams — leaving behind a sickening feeling of insecurity.

The unfinished business of the Bush administration thrusts an enormous burden onto Obama’s shoulders. Pre-inauguration polls show Americans believe Obama is on track to succeed and are confident he can turn the economy around. He has cautioned that improvements will take time and that things will get worse before they get better.

Culminating four days of celebration, the script for Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden at the nation’s 56th inauguration was to begin with a traditional morning worship service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, across Lafayette Park from the White House, and end with dancing and partying at 10 inaugural balls lasting deep into the night.

By custom, Obama and his wife, Michelle, were invited to the White House for coffee with Bush and his wife, Laura, followed by a shared ride in a sleek, heavily armored Cadillac limousine to the U.S. Capitol for the transfer of power, an event flashed around the world in television and radio broadcasts, podcasts and Internet streaming. On Monday, Vice President Dick Cheney pulled a muscle in his back, leaving him in a wheelchair for the inauguration.

Before noon, Obama steps forward on the West Front of the Capitol to lay his left hand on the same Bible that President Abraham Lincoln used at his first inauguration in 1861. The 35-word oath of office, administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, has been uttered by every president since George Washington. Obama was one of 22 Democratic senators to vote against Roberts’ confirmation to the Supreme Court in 2005.

The son of a Kansas-born mother and Kenya-born father, Obama decided to use his full name in the swearing-in ceremony.

The Constitution says the clock — not the pomp, ceremony and oaths — signals the transfer of the office from the old president to the new one.

The 20th Amendment to the Constitution specifies that the terms of office of the president and vice president “shall end at noon on the 20th day of January … and the terms of their successors shall then begin.”

To the dismay of liberals, Obama invited conservative evangelical pastor Rick Warren — an opponent of gay rights — to give the inaugural invocation.

About a dozen members of Obama’s Cabinet and top appointees — including Secretary of State-designate Hillary Rodham Clinton — were ready for Senate confirmation Tuesday, provided no objections were raised.

More than 10,000 people from all 50 states — including bands and military units — were assembled to follow Obama and Biden from the Capitol on the 1.5-mile inaugural parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue, concluding at a bulletproof reviewing stand in front of the White House. Security was unprecedented. Most bridges into Washington and about 3.5 square miles of downtown were closed.

Obama’s inauguration represents a time of renewal and optimism for a nation gripped by fear and anxiety. Stark numbers tell the story of an economic debacle unrivaled since the 1930s:

_Eleven million people have lost their jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to 7.2 percent, a 16-year high.

BN Tewas Di Kuala Terangganu.

Kuala Terengganu:Selera pengundi PAS dan BN masih samaJanuary 18, 2009 : 09.24 AM--->
Walaupun PAS menawan semula kerusi Parlimen Kuala Terengganu namun kemenangan calon parti itu serta kekalahan calon Barisan Nasional masih menunjukkan sokongan pengundi kepada PAS serta BN tidak banyak berubah.

Sungguhpun Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut menang dengan majoriti 2,631 undi, calon PAS itu hanya berjaya menarik pengundi baru seramai 949 orang. Ini kerana jumlah undi diperolehi dalam pilihan raya kecil tersebut adalah 32,883 manakala Mohamad Sabu yang bertanding ketika pilihan raya umum Mac tahun lalu mendapat 31,934 undi.

Kekalahan calon BN, Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh pula menunjukkan kegagalan parti itu mengekalkan 32,562 undi yang diperolehi allahyarham Datuk Razali Ismail pada Mac tahu lalu. Beliau mendapat mendapat 30,252 undi iaitu kurang 2,310 berbanding Razali.
Peratusan keluar mengundi kali ini turut menurun dengan 79.3 peratus atau kira-kira 63,993 pengundi daripada 80,229 orang layak mengundi berbanding 82.3 peratus atau kira-kira 66,112 pengundi daripada sejumlah 80,325 pengundi yang layak pada pilihan raya umum lalu.
Kemerosotan 3 peratus pengundi ini bermakna seramai 2,119 pengundi yang keluar mengundi Mac lalu tidak keluar menunaikan tanggungjawab mereka dalam pilihanraya kecil ini.

Mengambilkira jumlah undi diperlolehi calon Bebas, Azharuddin Mamat@ Adam sebanyak 193 undi serta undi rosak direkodkan berjumlah 665 undi, kemungkinan bermakna ada diantara mereka yang mengundi Mak Cik Maimon Yusof tahun lalu mengalihkan undi mereka kepada Abdul Wahid.

Dalam pilhian raya umum Mac lalu, Maimon memperolehi 628 undi manakala undi rosak 931 undi. Kelebiihan 949 undi diperolehi Abdul Wahid kemungkinan disumbang oleh mereka yang dulunya mengundi Maimon dan jumlah yang merosakkan undi masing-masing.
Secara tidak langsung, jumlah perbezaan undi calon Bebas dan undi rosak berbanding tahun lalu dan pilihan raya kecil ini adalah sebanyak 691 undi yang memihak kepada calon PAS.

Apa yang jelas, PAS seolah-olah mempunyai pengundi tetap yang menyokong parti itu setiap pilihan raya dan faktor menang atau tewas parti itu kepada calon BN boleh dikaitkan dengan kekurangan jumlah keluar mengundi selain undi dipecahkan calon Bebas serta direkodkan rosak.
PAS juga beroleh kemenangan disebabkan faktor pengundi lama yang sudah sebati dengan parti itu dan generasi muda yang enggan keluar mengundi turut memberi kelebihan kepada mereka.
BN juga dilihat mempunyai pengundi tetap yang tidak banyak berubah dan jika menang atau kalah, ianya adalah disebabkan faktor sama seperti di atas. Punca Wan Ahmad Farid tewas boleh dikaitkan faktor di atas termasuk bilangan keluar mengundi yang merosot.

Sumber-sumber jentera BN yakin sekiranya peratusan keluar mengundi meningkat atau jumlahnya sama seperti pilihan raya umum lalu, Wan Ahmad Farid mempunyai peluang menang pada pilihan raya kecil ini walaupun majoritinya kecil. Ada juga yang mengandaikan pertarungan kedua-dua parti itu lebih sengit serta seimbang dan nasib PAS mungkin berubah seandainya jika bukan Wan Ahmad Farid yang menjadi calon BN. Selain faktor Wan Farid yang dinilai ‘ kurang mesra ‘ ramai kalangan pemerhati yang merasakan terdapat beberapa faktor seperti diatas yang ‘ menekan’ BN berbanding PAS dalam menghadapi pilihanraya kecil ini.
