Sabah voters will be the kingmakers in the 13GE to decide who will form the Federal Government in Putrajaya and who will be the Prime Minister of Malaysia



After my ultimate revisit to Sabah as well as three-day "DAP UBAH tour" of Papar (Kg Tamui), Kota Belud ( Kg Nahaba), Inanam, Matunggung (Kg. Pinaurat) as well as Kudat, with Sabah DAP leaders, it is clear that a Pakatan Rakyat Sabah's RM7.28 billion Alternative Budget 2013 announced final month has "hit a marks" as well as put intense vigour upon a Sabah Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Musa Aman as well as a Barisan Nasional Sabah leaders.
For instance, Musa was reported in a Sabah newspapers upon Friday of handing over funds totaling RM30.9 million to 140 non-Islamic eremite bodies as well as 266 schools together with Chinese independent as well as missions schools in a state made up of RM18 million to eremite bodies together with churches, Chinese temples as well as alternative non-Muslim places of ceremony as well as RM12.9 million to a schools.
Although Musa pronounced that "the vast accede to for non-Islamic eremite bodies was reflective of a Barisan Nasional government's commitment in upholding eremite freedom in a country", it was obviously in response though weak as well as unsound to a fourth of 5 thrusts of Pakatan Rakyat Sabah's Alternative Budget 2003 upon "Empowering Local Communities".
However a Sabah BN supervision has depressed distant short of what a PR Sabah Alternative Budget proposed.
The "Empowering Local Communities" bearing of a PR Sabah Alternative Budget due accede to of RM50 million for vernacular, religious, government-aided as well as independent schools though a Sabah BN supervision has responded usually with a RM12.9 million allocation.
The PR Sabah alternative bill due RM50 million to non-Muslim eremite organisations (and RM100 million for Muslim organisations together with RM3 million for appropriation Haj pilgrimages by 300 people during RM10,000 per person) though a Sabah BN supervision has usually come out with RM30.9 million for non-! Islamic eremite bodies.
The PR Sabah's fourth bearing upon "Empowering Local Communities" have thirteen specific proposals that Sabah BN supervision have nonetheless to respond, including:
Under Skim Graduan Anak Sabah, RM2,000 will be since to each student pursuing tertiary studies for households earning reduction than RM2,000 a month. This initiative is approaching to price RM14.4 million as well as is approaching to benefit approximate 7,200 students.
RM50 million to provide scholarships for all those who seek tertiary education in a state. Priority will be since to train doctors as well as teachers.
RM20 million fund to showcase informative farrago by creation as well as creativity.
RM40 million for a purposes of informative as well as birthright preservation.
Start up accede to of RM20 million to set up Sabah TV for a purposes of creation programs to showcase a informative birthright as well as farrago of a state.
The alternative 4 thrusts of a PR Sabah Alternative Budget contained another thirty specific proposals to safeguard that Sabah's wealth is more equitably distributed, a expansion revived as well as a marginalised in Sabah carried out of poverty.
Although Musa as well as a Sabah BN state supervision have nonetheless to give proper as well as co-ordinate response to a specific proposals of a PR Sabah Alternative Budget 2013, a Sabah Chief Minister as well as a Sabah BN have proposed a fight of difference against a DAP as well as Pakatan Rakyat.
Musa for example reacted in a very undiscerning as well as many uncharacteristic manner when we pointed out a good difference in in between a Barisan Nasional as well as Pakatan Rakyat when faced with a supreme challenge of a 13th General Election, that could see either BN returned to energy or replaced by a Pakatan Rakyat in Putrajaya.
we had pronounced that when put to a test as to that political coalition is prepa! red to p ut inhabitant interest above all alternative interests, "Pakatan Rakyat" as well as BN have in their unfortunate bid to reason upon to energy resorted to a traditional though divisive "Divide as well as Rule" strategy polarizing a diverse races as well as religions in a country, whilst Pakatan Rakyat parties of DAP, PKR as well as PAS have confirmed a usual theme as well as unifying message of "Unite as well as Rule" to all races, religions as well as states, underlining a need for all Malaysians to rally together as one Malaysian people to build an united nation with a usual vision.
Another Sabah BN personality who has eyes upon a office of Sabah Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, has also got in to a act responding to a Pakatan Rakyat Sabah Alternative budget, calling for a rejecting of PR's promise to increase Sabah's oil royalty receipts from 5 to 20 per cent.
Shafie has since a many ridiculous reason claiming that a increase of Sabah's oil royalty to 20 per cent would means a separate in in between Sabah as well as a rest of Malaysia.
Shafie's reasoning is flawed, as PR is not just asking for a oil royalty for Sabah to be increasing from 5 to 20%, though for all oil producing states together with Sarawak, Terengganu, Kelantan as well as soon, Pahang. Furthermore, there is a superfluous 80% of a oil royalty receipts that could be clinging to inhabitant development.
So distant Shafie is a usually Sabah BN personality to plainly conflict a increase of Sabah's oil royalty from 5 to 20 per cent. Let everybody of a Sabah BN leaders declare their stand upon this emanate so that a electorate of Sabah can confirm either they merit await or repudiation.
Yesterday's Sabah press carried headlines of a call by UPKO President Tan Sri Bernard Dompok:"PR's promises 'only good outside Sabah'".
Bernard had not intended, though he was in fact conceding, that "Pakatan Rakyat" as well as Barisan Nasional are facing! an asce nding if not a losing conflict for a hearts as well as minds of a electorate in Peninsular Malaysia as well as that it is right away left to a electorate of Sabah to save "Pakatan Rakyat" as well as Barisan Nasional in a imminent general elections.
Bernard is positively right as well as this is why we have stressed in my speeches during my UBAH debate of Papar, Kota Belud, Inanam, Matunggong as well as Kudat during a past 3 days that a Sabah electorate are a "kingmakers" in Malaysia as they will, together with a electorate of Sarawak as well as Johore, confirm who will be form a subsequent Federal Government in Putrajaya as well as who is to be a subsequent Prime Minister of Malaysia.
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak visited Kudat during his final revisit to Sabah, though he did not transport by highway to experience for himself what a usual Sabahan had to experience what we had previously described as a "worst highway in Malaysia" a inhuman as well as hellish widen during Ulu Kukut.
Instead, Najib flew by helicopter, by-passing Ulu Kukut altogether, like a Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in his previous revisit to a area.
After my Aug revisit where we tweeted about a seven-year atrocity of a Ulu Kukut highway condition, a Barisan Nasional state supervision gave a public declaration that a three-kilometre highway upgrading plan during Ulu Kukut would be sealed as well as completed by a end of September.
However, when we travelled to Kg Pinaurat in Matunggong as well as Kudat upon Sunday, time seemed to have stood still during a Ulu Kukut widen in a past 3 months as there is no pointer of any improvement in a inhuman highway condition.
Even Najib dared not make any mention of a inhuman Ulu Kukut widen during his revisit to Kudat final month, as well as he chose instead to make known that a study is being carried out upon a RM800 million coastal highway from Tuaran joining Kota Belud to Kota Maru! du as we ll as to Kudat bypassing Ulu Kukut completely.
Has a Prime Minister also since up upon completing a upgrading of a Ulu Kukut road, that is believed to be a RM70 million project, as well as is Ulu Kukut going to be a vital testimony of a failure of Sabah BN state supervision in a 13GE?
