DR JEFFREY is utterly dissapoint which Anwar is now intent in negotiations with a couple of Barisan Nasional leaders about a probability of them jumping after a subsequent ubiquitous election. This would meant a antithesis would have to 'give way' to these people as well as allow them to win a elections. That would be a single issue. The second would be: what if after they win they change their minds as well as decide not to burst after all since Barisan Nasional has counter-offered a aloft price?
The Federal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur was a initial international-class road residence to be built in Malaysia afterwards called a Federation of Malaya. It was, in fact, built purposely for a Merdeka (Independence) celebrations as well as non-stop for business usually 3 days prior to Merdeka of 31st Aug 1957.
It was said which Low Yat, a rags-to-riches junk fool around incited millionaire, built a road residence during a request of a First Prime Minister of eccentric Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman. Stories were told about how Yow Yat used to cycle around Kuala Lumpur collecting aged bottles, as well as thereafter done his millions from his common beginnings.
Such was life in Malaya in those days when we could turn rich yet screwing a rakyat's money. And a Tunku never rewarded Low Yat for his 'national service' similar to a Chinese tycoons of today have been when they go to bed with Umno. we suppose, being a sentimental chairman which we am, which is what we miss man! y about Malaysia.
And here, during a Federal Hotel, was where we initial met Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, ironically, to discuss a Merdeka of Sabah from sovereign rule.
we had progressing which day perceived a phone call from Mutalib M.D. who told me which Dr Jeffrey was in locale as well as which he would similar to to encounter me for dinner. we told Mutalib which we would determine to have cooking with a single of a many illustrious sons of Sabah usually if we could fool around host as well as pay for a dinner.
we suspect we felt we had a sure bond with Dr Jeffrey who outlayed a stint underneath ISA apprehension for fighting for a autonomy of his homeland from sovereign 'occupation'.
we was positively many celebrated as well as curious which a male of his status would wish to encounter me so which evening my mother as well as we went over to encounter a commission of 3 from Sabah for cooking in a Bintang Revolving Lounge upon a rooftop of a Federal Hotel.
The cooking review was often small talk as well as chatter yet after cooking we adjourned for coffee where a some-more important contention of a night was conducted.
Dr Jeffrey told me which he was assembly Anwar Ibrahim a following day about him joining PKR yet he did not totally trust Anwar as well as he guess we might be able to give him some pointers upon how he should hoop a negotiations with Anwar.
Dr Jeffrey did not wish to travel in to a 'lion's den', so to speak, unless armed with a believe upon what to expect. Isn't this what Sun Tsu additionally said, know your enemy? And a actuality which Dr Jeffrey regarded Anwar as such speaks volumes about what a former guess of a latter.
we told Dr Jeffrey what little we know of Anwar as well as about my perspective as well as sense of a kind of political an! imal whi ch Anwar is. Not everything we said about Anwar was complementary, we contingency admit, yet my purpose was not to fool around a purpose of open family officer for Anwar yet to prepare Dr Jeffrey upon what to design as well as how he would have to hoop Anwar.
Dr Jeffrey's own perspective as well as sense of Anwar was not as well distant a departure from mine, though. His main reservation was which Anwar was usually starting to use him to benefit a foothold in to Sabah as well as which there might be an additional bulletin up Anwar's sleeve.
Dr Jeffrey additionally lamented which Anwar was a law-breaker who had brought Umno in to Sabah as well as which a stream quandary confronting Sabah was essentially Anwar's doing. Anwar, therefore, is some-more a disease rather than a cure, as distant as Dr Jeffrey was concerned.
Dr Jeffrey's first concern was per Anwar's Islamic bulletin as well as whether Anwar had altered many from a aged days when a Islamic label was used as a vehicle to move down a 'Christian' government of Sabah. Dr Jeffrey was additionally endangered which Anwar might not share a aspiration of a Sabah people in saying a 20-Point Agreement celebrated as well as implemented.
Federalisation was being viewed as a backdoor colonisation of Sabah as well as many Sabah politicians wish some-more self-rule as well as a grade of autonomy. This was ostensible to be a spirit of a 20-Point Agreement (or a 18-Point Agreement of Sarawak) yet would Anwar determine to what a Sabahans wanted? That was a gist to a total make a difference as well as what would have to be thrashed out in a assembly with Anwar a following day.
we told Dr Jeffrey which we had met a couple of of a Umno Sabah leaders as well as they had voiced exactly a same sentiments. When we asked them why afterwards were they still in Umno, they replied which they were in Umno especiall! y since Umno was in power. However, they hoped which Ummo could be defeated so that, a single day, Sabah would benefit genuine independence.
Yes, what an irony, even a Umno Sabah leaders wish to see Umno ousted from Sabah.
They did not thoughts still being part of Malaysia yet they resented being treated as usually a single of a 13 states of Malaysia, during standard with a 11 states of Peninsular Malaysia (Semenanjung). Sabah as well as Sarawak have been not during standard with a 11 states of Semenanjung yet should instead be during standard with Malaya, a Federation of 11 sates created upon 31st Aug 1957.
we told Dr Jeffrey which we totally determine with this view as well as therefore he should press this indicate home in his assembly with Anwar a following day. If Anwar is prepared to dedicate himself to a 20-Point Agreement (and a 18-Point Agreement for Sarawak), as well as if Anwar can assure him he would not serve his Islamic agenda, afterwards Dr Jeffrey might have himself a deal. That would mean, in short, which Anwar should not press for a Muslim to conduct PKR Sabah (plus Sarawak, of course).
Things appeared to have worked excellent for a whilst as well as a actuality which Dr Jeffrey did stick upon PKR as well as headed PKR Sabah in a commencement is sworn statement to this. But a honeymoon did not final really long. And this is what Dr Jeffrey as well as we was endangered about. We both suspected which Anwar was not really interested in strengthened a antithesis in Sabah as well as Sarawak yet had an additional bulletin in mind.
This guess was not something brand brand new yet already existed since Anwar was initial released from jail in 2004. And this was reliable final year when Wikileaks released a inform which quoted Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Pak Lah) as saying which Anwar wanted to rejoin Umno yet Umno would not acc! ept him.
Wikileaks inform was per a cable from a US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur to Washington detailing a contention they had with Pak Lah connected with a matter.
The assembly in in in between Anwar as well as Pak Lah was arranged by a Sarawak Chief Minister, Taib Mahmud, as well as was hold in Pak Lah's residence in Kepala Batas upon a second day of Hari Raya which same year.
The tighten links in in in between Anwar as well as a Sarawak Chief Minister is serve reliable by a recent helicopter pile-up which took a lives of 3 people, a PKR Sarawak personality included. The helicopter is owned by Dato Sng Chee Hua, a same male who set up a assembly in in in between Anwar as well as Taib.
Hence a many hapless deaths a couple of days ago usually strengthens this guess even further, which is if a sketch of Anwar, Pak Lah as well as Taib sitting during a same list in Kepala Batas is not explanation enough.
Signs which things were not working out flush about two years ago. One incident was a attempt to remove Baru Bian as a conduct of PKR Sarawak as well as reinstate him with a Muslim. There was a rebel for a couple of days, as well as when Sarawak Report as well as Radio Free Sarawak closed down as a mark of protest, Anwar relented as well as did a U-turn.
Anwar did a same thing in Sabah earlier, which triggered a dispute in in in between Dr Jeffrey as well as Kuala Lumpur. This was what Borneo Review reported in Feb 2009:
Dr Jeffrey Kitingan's ultimatum to Anwar Ibrahim revealed
There have been 4 proposals which enclose countless points of top relevance to Sabah, a future, as well as as a outcome Malaysia's future:
1. Understand which a complaint in PKR Sabah is not about a appointment of Thamrin Jaini as PPN (Pengerusi Perhubung! an Neger i) yet many more. It has to do with how a Party is being run by remote control from KL by substitute care as well as how decisions have been done yet putting in service a Party philosophy of Justice as well as Democracy.
The Party in Sabah has been run many similar to UMNO is running Sabah UMNO except worse - during least UMNO trusts a Sabahans.
DSAI's (Anwar) perspective towards Sabah is a same as his aged UMNO attitude. Race as well as sacrament still cloud his thoughts as well as perception. This has to change!
2. To improve Sabah PKR as well as permanently solve a Sabah PKR problems, a following contingency take place:-
(a) Let there be autonomous PKR Sabah as well as PKR Sarawak.
(b) The care of PKR Sabah should be inaugurated by a members/delegates in Sabah.
(c) The management as well as operations of PKR Sabah should be left to a inaugurated care guided by a same national PKR facts as well as philosophies yet focussing upon internal issues, etc...
(d) There should be a unchanging sequence of command as well as care relationships in in in between national leaders as well as state leaders for coordination as well as handling purposes (it is shown in a chart Dr J gave to Anwar yet not done accessible in this blogsite for space constraints).
(e) The stream incident should be reorganised to maintain stability prior to serve changes have been made.
3. The National care should take a necessary steps as well as commitment to effect a above.
