Fulfilment of 30-year dream of Sabahans in the hands of Sabah BN MPs
Posted by labisman   
Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:25

The three-decade dream of Sabahans for a Royal Commission of Inquiry on illegal immigrants in the state will be realized tomorrow if the 24 Barisan Nasional Sabah MPs join the 82 Pakatan Rakyat MPs to support the amendment to the Motion of Thanks for the establishment of such a Royal Commission.

For the past thirty years, calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the illegal immigrant problem had been made in Parliament, the Sabah State Assembly as well as in the public domain but they had been totally ignored.

Now, for the first time in three decades, it is possible for such a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the long-standing and intractable problem of illegal immigrants in Sabah, which had reduced Sabahans into a minority to foreigners, to be established provided the 24 Barisan Nasional MPs from Sabah walk the talk about their concerns about this issue and support my amendment to the Motion of Thanks for the Royal Address to set up such a Royal Commission.

Sabahs will finally know if their elected have their peoples interest at heart or vested interest or certain quaters.
The royal comission should be formed and this illegal immeigarnt issue should be resolved once for all..
All the crooks involved in the Project IC program should be held forever under ISA as this issue deals with national security ..

All eyes on Sabah MPs.

to have Royal Commission of Inquiry sovle illegal immigrants in Sabah.
If you aggreed with opposition you are out.

By tomorrow, Sabah folks will be able to identify which of their mps are the good ones and really cares for Malaysia and which of them are cronies and proxies of umno.
Suspected tomorrow will be a let down. As some MPs are against .
As umno will try to " tutup kes "
This will be good news too , this will be the deciding factor for defections

UMNO MPs should be fighting this motion with tooth and nails - it will surely reveal the dirty tactics of UMNO and the fraud they committed against the population of Sabah. But I am sure there will be some UMNO MPs who may have some decency left and the sense of justice to vote for the motion. Lets see where Gerakan, MIC and MCA stand on this matter.

I actually expect them to behave as slave dogs would.

How BN-UMNO Malaya MPs vote will determine whether or not BN-Sabah MPs 'jump'... if the majority (including Nazri) say 'aye', then BN-UMNO will reign for a little while longer. If it's 'nay'... then, PR will form the next govn very soon. Patail should also investigate why Nazri is soooo keen on giving 'citizenship' to these new melayus... there has to be and there must be a reason which is not acceptable to all Malaysians if the truth is known - why is Nazri sooo bent on giving out 'free' citizenships whilst there are still real Malaysians with red ICs...

Based on the reactions of Sabah MPs to the inquiry..it's like they're not interested.

All those hoo-hah will amount to NOTHING if you failed to support this urgent motion. Forget about politics and most of all forget about the stupid unwritten rule about BN MPs should never supports opposition's motion. If all of you follow that stupid rule, then all of you are nothing but "tunggul" who are not worthy to represent Sabahans and Malaysians in general. It's time to prove whether you have a back-bone of your own or simply "tasu do UMNO". This is about the pride of all Sabahans which you guys represent. You are not representing AAB... UMNOPutra or anyone else but YOU REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF SABAH and WE WANT YOU TO SUPPORT THIS MOTION. NO TWO WAY ABOUT IT. CHECK MATE!

Sabah MPs walk the talk??? Are you kidding? Sabah is a land of wealth, power and fame for politicians. Tell me one MP that has really done Sabah proud and I'll tell you when Bodowi will resign! Sabah MPs have been known to have no backbones - what they say, all talk but no action? When Sabah was under these same politicians, there was poor economy and development until UMNO took over. Now Sabah is flushed with cash and opportunities. Sabah's MPs are actually happy with having illegals in their state because it translate to more cash and sure votes for them. They are using this issue only as a bargaining chip with Bodowi for more money and more positions. It's the Sabah's people who are taken for a ride by their MPs who want to be seen to be doing their job. Sabahans owes West Malasysians a lot for their current well-being, that is why even Pairin finally kowtow to Mamakthir. I can bet on my ass that they would voice their pretended grievances, get the promised money and positions they want and then meekly return to Sabah, and no one would be the happier. So don't get your hope up for their pretended tirade - it's all a show!

It was learnt that the Sabah BN MPs especially from UMNO would not support the motion. I do not understand, even the sabah outspoken MP has indicated not to support the motion by the opposition as he said he prefered the PTI issue to be resolve by the Federal Government through their own way and means, so it will be expected there is nothing happening on the PTI issue until the next election or perhap it will be more PTI around then because BN wanted them to ensure they will win the next election.....may be in the next election we will never have any chances to overthrow the BN eventhough 80% sabahan voting against them reason is the PTI numbers are exceeding Sabahan!.....kesian kita orang Sabah ni...

They'll just say it'll be a useless, powerless commission which is true but only because its agenda will be set up on a very limited basis to guarantee nothing substantial is found. Shame on them-I'm waiting to see how the warriors of Sabah-Dompoka nd Pairin vote-bet you they'll be absent...

If Barisan really wants to know who the majority of Sabahans will vote for in the next election it is very easy!Just call for a mock elction,maybe by SMS,and the truth will surface!Iam very sure there will be many heart attacks!Anyway from my political analysis there will be extreme changes within the next few months!Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best to come!But be prepared for the worst!

It is a fact that not all of the Sabah MPs (especially those of Sabah UMNO)are 'genuine' Sabahan (probably second generation). Hence they will not support the motion citng all sort of excuses. In fact some of them benefited from the votes delivered by the former illegals.

Sabah is a gone case as far as I can see. The original bumiputeras are already a minority in their own land. So what else can be done? Even their leaders are being led by their noses by UMNO, and these so-called leaders have sold their souls to UMNO.

Kadazandusuns, just be resigned to your "new" status(actually not so new) and just accept it. At the same time you can thank your own "lompat" leaders for this situation. Leaders like Donald(Fuad) Stevens, Pairin, etc.

DAP (Tun) Lim KS maneuver is brilliant as he to know all too well that all those Sabah MPs are just empty vessel making very loud noises in parliament with no intention whatsoever of solving the refugees problem. What all these Sabah MPs are interested in is the increase of oil royalty to 20%. The Sabah refugees and other problems are just mixed into the oil royalty to make the complaints much more credible. How would it sound if they only ask for increase in oil royalty for Sabah? Wouldn’t it be so obvious of their actual intention??
By calling for the setting up of a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the long-standing problem of illegal immigrants in Sabah and calling on the Sabah MPs (including the House Speaker who is Sabahan) to support that motion..hehehe…our (Tun) Lim is cleverly calling these Sabah MPs ‘bluff’ to show their hands. Our Sabah MPs are now caught in a dilemma which are:
1)Supporting the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the illegal immigrants issue might exposed the seriously of the problem wide open. This will definitely have an impact on their imported voters in their respective Sabah constituencies, and might even exposed that a number of these MPs are imported Bumiputras too.

2)Not supporting the Royal Commission of Inquiry motion would be announcing to the whole world that they were really not serious in solving that issue and but is really interested in that 20% increase in oil royalty.
My dear (Tun) Lim, thank you for your…hehehe..cunning strategy yah, and God bless you and keep you healthy and free always. By not charging that sucker who threw the eggs at you, you are indeed really a considerate man. But I can understand that you must have felt that there is really no point in charging an ordinary disgruntled person, kan?
Well, to that Yong and his goons of Sabah MPs, now support our DAP Adviser (Tun) Lim's motion for the setting up of a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the long-standing problem of illegal immigrants in Sabah. By supporting that motion, it would show your sincerity in wishing to solve that problem and that you corrupted people are not after that 20% increase in oil royalty for Sabah.
And YES INDEED, if the PKR ever comes into power, the FIRST and RIGHT thing that they should do for the people of Sabah is to install Tan Sri Chong KT as the Chief Minister of Sabah.

To the ignorant orang Malaya,

How many times we warn you dungus that Umno have been so successful in their Project IC (to register the illegals as voters), that these very illegals dictate the outcome of Sabah election since mid 1990s because their numbers are numerous.

Most Sabahans rejected BN especially Umno but it is not Sabahans Malaysians call anymore since the electoral rolls are full of these illegal Project IC voters.

You ignorant dungus never want to listen to us before but now you dungus Malaya call us names because you want PR to form the federal govt. Are you really sincere in wanting to address the illegal immigrant issue in Sabah? Or you people just want Sabah MPs to leave BN so PR can form the govt?

And will RCI solve the illegals problems when no action been taken all this while despite several RCIs been set up i.e police and lingamgate?

By the way, the Project IC problem is not only Sabah problem. It is a Malaysia problem. These illegals have MyCard with bumi status and since there are so many of them, Malaysia will one day be rule by them. Don't say we Sabahans didn't warn you dungus.

When that time come, we Malaysians will be at their mercy. The illegal immigrants in Sabah are mostly Filipino Muslims from the rebellious Mindanao region. You just watch what they'll do to us Malaysians.

Better late than never.

We would probably able to deport only 10% (the late comers) of the former illegals. The rest are too entrenched to be removed.

Some of them have 'landed' in the 70s and are now in their 30s with wife and children born in Sabah. They are probably employed in all sectors of the economy including the civil service as nurses, policemen, teachers etc. Some may have even became MPs.

What can we do with them, the 'alien' living amongst us who was born in Sabah due to politic.

Since the orang Malaya (Dr. M) improved and enlarged on what have been started by Tun Mustapha in the 70s, we should exported the majority of these people to Peninsula Malaysia, to share the Sabahan's problem.
