Yesterday, I had a event to revisit a historic Keningau Oath Stone together with Dato Seri' Wilfred Bumburing, a MP for Tuaran who had not prolonged ago left a BN as well as aligned himself with a opposition.
The Oath Stone was erected as a sign of a guarantee of a Federal Government to honor a twenty point agreement finished with Sabah prior to a arrangement of Malaysia.
Almost 48 years later, it is clear from a DAP Sabah initiatedJanji DitepatiPublic Hearings, which a 3 categorical points engraved in a Keningau Oath Stone guaranteeing freedom of religion, upholding land liberty as well as protecting local customs as well as traditions have been expel in reserve by a BN government.
Testimonies from Sabahans of all walks of life
Sabahans from all walks of life as well as backgrounds in Kota Kinabalu, Penampang, Ranau, Tenom as well as Keningau have uttered out clearly as well as loudly, with their personal testimonies, which a rights of a Sabahans have not been inspected though have instead been abused as well as ignored in transgression to a suggestion of a Keningau Oath Stone.
No less than Tan Sri Simon Sipaun, a former Sabah state secretary, has expressed doubt in a dull slogan which isJanji Ditepatiwhen he said, during a Kota Kinabalu public hearing, which 'the supervi! sion is very prolonged upon eye catching slogans though very short upon delivery' same to 'lots of rumble as well as lightning though though a sleet appearing.'
He is quite well placed in making a matter which a BN supervision does not have a political will to compromise a complaint of 'Pendatang Asing Tanpa Asing' (PATI) as evidenced by unbroken half encourage as well as failed attempts over a past 25 years. One quite egregious e.g. of an dull promise was which finished by Musa Aman, Chief Minister of Sabah, in 2006, to compromise a complaint of a bootleg immigrants in Pulau Gaya which to date stays distant from being solved.
Illegals right away outnumber Sabahans in their own state
The actuality which most of these PATIs have been included in a electoral roll was highlighted by Dr. Chong Eng Leong, an consultant upon a bootleg immigration incident in Sabah as well as a author of "Lest We Forget (Security as well as Sovereignty of Sabah)".
Dr. Cheong estimates which there is between one to dual million bootleg immigrants in Sabah, upon tip of a 900,000 who have been upon a census, means which it is rarely expected which local Sabahans have been right away outnumbered by foreigners in their own country.
Dr. Cheong further assertion which up to 250,000 of these bootleg immigrants have found their approach in to a electoral roll is a further proof which a choosing by casting votes strength of a local Sabahans have slowly though certainly been widely separated over time.
At a same time as bootleg immigrants have been being since citizenship as well as purebred as voters, most Sabahans have been still facing problems obtaining citizenship status as well as most local Sabahans have been being denied their right toSijil Anak Negeri (SAN).
! I n Ranau, you met Mrs Chong Siew On who was innate in Sabah in 1941 as well as she has a bieing innate obligation as well as aSijil Anak Negeribut her 4 applications for an IC were rejected leaving her with usually a red Permanent Resident IC.
We additionally met Puan Ramlah from Ulu Kinabatangan who has 7 young kids usually 4 of whom have bieing innate certificates. The alternative 3 young kids were denied bieing innate certificates since she doesn't have a matrimony certificate.
We additionally met Kenneth Tan, who, similar to most alternative Sino Natives, cannot pass down their lands to their young kids since they were innate after 1982 as well as could not obtainSijil Anak Negeri (SAN).
Stolen land, terrible roads as well as alternative dire situations
In Penampang, you were informed by Charles from Kota Marudu which most of a residents of a kampong in his area had become squatters in Kota Kinabalu after their land was taken from them. Osul from Moyog spoke about a dire incident faced by his encampment as they face threats of eviction after they were relocated to land which had yet to be gazetted after a construction of a Babagon dam. Johan from Ulu Papar additionally expressed his fears which a same predestine might succeed his encampment if a Kaiduan dam were to be built.
In Tenom, where you were informed by a police which you could not make use of a loudspeaker to verbalise to as well as listen to from a rakyat, you were since evidence by Daniel Kalingang of individuals who complained to him which they were promised low price PPRT housing, a little some-more than twenty years, as well as have been still watchful for their houses to be built as well as delivered.
In Keningau, you heard from Mattius from Pensiangan who testified which their MP, Joseph Kurup, promised which their roads ! would be paved with asphalt though this was usually selectively finished as well as now, most of them have been full of holes. Robert Linggi from Kinangau shared his knowledge of how brand new cars were fundamentally shop-worn in 2 or 3 days since of bad highway conditions.
These have been just a small representation of a personal stories shared by most Sabahans whom you met so distant in a Janji Ditepati Public Hearings. With this prolonged fibre of damaged promises, it is usually good which you return to a suggestion as well as intention of a Keningau Oath Stone to defend a rights of Sabahans.
Apt for Bumburing to leave BN
It is additionally good which Datuk Seri Wilfred Bumburing, MP for Tuaran, joined us for a Public Hearing in Keningau. The decision by Wilfred Bumburing, who was additionally a Deputy President of UPKO, to leave UPKO as well as a BN is a strong confirmation which he has no certainty of a BN's capability to defend a rights as well as welfare of ordinary Sabahans.
We welcome his decision to leave a BN as well as you goal which he can fool around a meaningful partial to move about system of administration change in a next general election so which a suggestion as well as intention of a Keningau Oath Stone can be fulfilled.
