Radin describe Jeffrey as the stone which gathers no moss

“He is just like chasing after his own shadow which he can’t catch because the more he chases, the shadow goes further and further,” Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Vice President, Datuk Radin Malleh describing on STAR Sabah Chairman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

“But until the BN government was formed in Sabah in April 1994, his PBDS was not approved by Mahathir. So he joined AKAR, then PBRS, and he created problems there resulting in him being sacked by the respective parties.

“When he rejoined PBS, Jeffrey contested against his former lawyer friend Yunuf Maringking for the vice presidency but lost miserably. Then he jumped ship to Umno but his membership application was rejected. He tried his luck in PKR but still to no avail,” Radin claimed.

Now Jeffrey is in STAR, a party from Sarawak and if based on his political history of which he changed parties not more than seven times, then it is true that Jeffrey is only running for the Chief Minister’s post, Radin said.

Radin was continuing on his remark by also responding on the authenticity of STAR Sabah chairman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan’s claim that he was offered to be the Sabah Chief Minister in 1994.

 “Because if it is true then his brainchild party namely Parti Demokratik Sabah Bersatu (PBDS) should have been registered by Mahathir who also happened to be the Home Minister,” he said.

The Melalap assemblyman in a statement yesterday said that it was doubtful Jeffrey was offered the Chief Minister post in 1994 by the then Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad.

PKR CRIPPLED IN KENINGAU?

MELVIN JAIKUL, the elected deputy head of PKR for Keningau division said that Party Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has lost its command and respect in the Interior of Sabah.

According to him, The Malaya-based party is already crippled as more than 2,000 members have since quit it join another party.

He himself has quit together with the majority of the elected divisional committee members.

Among those who have also quit were the division vice head Daniel Palangi and its Information Chief, Salim Nair.

Others in the divisional line-up who have also quit are Fred Aliun, Dominic Liew, Adrian Mikin and Alex Amik to mention a few.

The divisional youth wing, all but one, had also left PKR. Likewise in the Women wing, many have left too, joining more than 2,000 PKR members seeking shelter elsewhere.

He appeal to the people not to believe certain groups in PKR who kept mentioning that they are intake as if the members are still in it. The members have totally lost confidence in the Malayan party and that is why 2,000 members have quit.

There will be more who will leave PKR both in Keningau and in other divisions too. In the very near future there will be an exodus from PKR Putatan as well.

PKR is even worse

FORMER PKR Sepanggar Chief, Felix Sitaun said he left the party for STAR because he saw STAR as the real hope for Sabah.

“I now fully believe that Sabah should be governed by local parties, not by parties from the Peninsular,” he said in statement here. “And I can see that if PKR rules Sabah, it will be even worse that the present Umno/BN state government.”

He said this is because PKR’s constitution and rules require that if it ruled the country, all local appointments must be made from Kuala Lumpur, from the appointment of the Chief Minister and all the way to the appointment of Ketuas Kampung and JKKK Chairmen.

Insight from fellow blogger, Hantu Laut.

The Asean region have had its share of dictators and bad leaders, it has seen two dictators brought down by people's power, Marcos of Philippines and Suharto of Indonesia.When it come to human right abuses they are mild compared to Arab leaders who are prepared to perpetrate iniquity to stay in power.Criticising the leaders is a crime and political prisoners are regularly tortured in those godforsaken countries.

No matter what the opposition and the Western press tell you about Malaysia, our government is not as brutal as those countries, physical torture of political prisoners are not common occurrences here as in Africa and the Middle East.Malaysia do not have political prisoners languishing in prison for long period of time.Most of those detained under ISA were considered security risk to the nation or involved in terrorist activities.Sometimes, the ISA is a necessary evil.
