The Sabah CM was being generous to Chong's request to build the Mazu statue, since the Kudat Thean Hou charitable foundation is an non-registered organization. Lawfully, no lands will be allocated for any form of construction.

But the CM is willing to compromise and allow for relocation and compensation for the sake of peace among the people and freedom of religion. Now it is only up to Chong Kah Kiat whether he wants to accept CM's good intentions.

However, it is known that Chong has refused the offer. But sources tell us that members and followers of the Foundation has offered Chong monetary funds to continue with the building of the Mazu statue.

A word of reminder for Chong: as an non-registered organization, this kind of fund raising is against the law.

As a lawyer, he should know better. Technically, the only way Chong wants to have this statue constructed for the people is to take the CM's offer.

Mark C,

The CM rotation system has brought no significant developments to Sabah. As a Sabahan, I've seen there are not much being done during the CM rotation period.

All have their own views...some might see the negative in him and some might see the positive in him.. but no matter what, one that we can't denied, Sabah are more develop under the rule of Musa Aman. At least he did try to be the best.....

Please find out or learn of this issue from the very, very start and then think about iy (if not too difficult, then analyse it) and maybe we can see some unbiased, sensible and objective comments.

Also, wasn't it the law firm of R Barnes and the state AG that helped with the founding of the foundation? if so, than, isn't it a bit funny that they used "inside information" to fight the case? is there a law against this? appy to stand corrected.

This is never about the Mazu statue, it was all about Musa retaliating against Chong because Chong cause Musa project in Sipadan Island to be cancelled aka lost $$$ as Chong made the incident of the barge that damage the coral reef at Sipadan Island a world wide incident which indirectly caused the project to be terminated.

Lets not attack True Sabahan too much just because he spoke in support of Musa. Lets give everyone a chance to be heard even though it sounds very ridiculous. This is freedom.

Of course True Sabanan is proMusa and any idiot who has read his piece will say so, you dont have to be a rocket scientist to know that. But, True Sabahan has got some valid points.

I still think Musa looks like a very fair guy here. He has given 4 acres of beautiful beach frontage in Kg Bak Bak in Kudat for the erection of Mazu. A beautiful spot better than the place Chong is fighting for. The present place is not in peace and any Feng Shui Master will say so. So much unhappiness, misery, frustration, unhappiness and all other negative emotions and bad energy has been created for this present spot. Even Divine Goddess will not be happy bah in this place.

So Chong a smart man knows conflict is the natural result of change.Nothing is ever static and unchanging. Everything in the known universe is evolving, changing and "becoming". What Chong should be working toward is not peace and trying to please others, but rather learning how to manage conflict in ways that are more compassionate. By this Chong would be a lot happier, and less stressed and resentful and his spiritual work will bring good tidings to the people of Sabah.

Think about this lah Sir Chong!

What is the so-called true sabahan babbling about that , no lands will be allocated for a non-registered organization? Chong's Mazu statue was to be built on private land.

There is no law to say that non-registered organizations cannot solicit or receive funds as long as no deception is used. What is this ignorant bozo babbling about again?

True Sabahan should declare himself as a true BN supporter. Just get lost!

On the contrary "True Sabahan" is all falsehood, bullshit, crap, rubbish & nonsense.
His real later ego is "True Liar".
He is a ghost writer for Musang Tak'Aman the Pathan from Pakistan who came to Sabah on false pretenses.
Pray that goddess Mazu is roasting him every night by her fires of divinity.

one thing though, isn't the Sabah CM post supposedly be on a 2 yr rotation basis? What is this Musang prick still CM?

Musa Aman is generous said "True sabahan"
and so many people did believe his words and spins, OMG, hello people just becoz it was published in MT it doesn't meant you don't need to think. The first line itself already revealed his identity, all this bullshits was created by none other than the corrupted Musa Aman, lawan tetap lawan!!!!
...
written by archie, August 07, 2010 08:26:13
If it's true that Musa has offered Chong a piece of land to build the Mazu statue, will True Sabahan post a certified true copy of the letter of offer here so that we all can judge whether it's true that such an offer has been made?
...

How come when it is Umno that wants to do anything, tak bolih pun jadi bolih ?. If the Sabah govt is genuine in its intention, it will pave the way for the Mazu statue to be build at its original place.

Or is it some Fung Shui master has told Musa Aman that if the Mazu is build at the disputed site, Umno wiould lose Sabah to the opposition ?.

True Sabahan? Doesn't sound like one at all. True Musa Supporter is more apt.

Has anyone ever thought of asking the Goddess Mazu herself?

Surely a sacred 'seng pui' consultation with the higher realms in a Chinese temple might end this tai-chi issue once and for all.

Just be patience, what the hurry - a new Chief Minister should be coming in 5, 10, or 20 years.. and the Mazu will then stand on Chong site.

It Chong vs Musa .. related to contractor blunders at Sipadan and Kinabalu Parks events...

Go correct the earlier mistake and register the organisation.

written by G kembong, August 07, 2010 00:10:44
Yeah but Musa Aman seems like a fair person. He has given 4 acres of land facing the sea which is perfect for the Mazu...after all Mazu is the Goddess of The Sea and what better place to erect the Mazu than Kg Bak Bak.

Mazu must be in a place were there is peace when worshipers pray, at the present place there is already bad-blood and so much unhappiness. How to pray in peace? Already starting only got problem already. Worshipers must be happy when praying.

Chong should not ride on a ego trip. Chong should also at least respect the CM a bit. Nothing wrong to give and take a bit. Chong should not have too much ego and because of his ego he wants to destroy Musa aman and the BN which he has been championing for the last 25 years.

Come on Chong, you are more sensible than this.

True Sabahan should read the Press Statement by Chin Shu Ying, LDP Youth Leader carried in Mtoday!!
If he/she had done so, the misinformation he/she is trying to sow is so obvious!!
No, Chong should and must not back down!!
It is a important principle he must help uphold - freedom of religion!!
...

"As an non-registered organization, this kind of fund raising is against the law". ... is it?

It is more like friends giving money to a friend. Do note that Chong is not asking but his friends are offering.

The original location is much better!

Do accept the offer , Chong. I would love to see the Mazu Statue stand strong in Sabah.

A word of reminder to this so-called "true sabahan"(which i doubt his identity)

Go check ur facts first, which religious house ever needs to register??

Don't go round blasting like a F**ktard!!!

True sabahn sayid that the corrupt Sabah CM is being generous? You must be a beneficiary of his generosity. The whole issue erupted when 2 insignificant persons lodged a complaint against the Mazu statue and although permission was given earlier by the Kudat town council and despite the statue being partially constructed, a stop order was given. This fracas was started by BN and now 'false' Sabahan says the CM is generous. What crap is this?
