Tataba Wave emboldens Mahathir and UMNO to strangle the nation

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU : Opposition State Reform Party (STAR) has accused that the Gelombang Tataba promulgated by PBS, UPKO and PBRS is nothing but to propel UMNO's "ketuanan Melayu" over Sabahans.

STAR Sabah deputy chairman, Daniel John Jambun, said Sabahans must realise that the Gelombang Tataba was nothing but the idea of UMNO to empower Mahathir Mohamad to help perpetuate "ketuanan Melayu dan UMNO" to overlord Sabahans.
"By empowering UMNO and BN, the non-muslims would continue to be suppressed as the Tataba Wave would embolden the kind of Mahathir and Ibrahim Ali of PERKASA in banning the non-muslims from using many words including "Allah" in their worship.

"By calling the Kadazandusuns to support BN and UMNO, leaders of PBS, UPKO and PBRS are empowering Ibrahim to repeat his call for the burning of our Bible or Alkitab," he said in a statement here Saturday.

Jambun who is also President of UK-based Borneo's Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BoPiMaFo) said Ibrahim should be charged for treason, and Mahathir too for the IC Project.

"But look PBS, UPKO and PBRS are calling the people to support Mahathir and Ibrahim instead !


"It appeared to me that the Gelombang Tataba has not empowered the natives in Sabah at all but only put UMNO leaders like Mahathir and Ibrahim above the law. Sabahans must see this ploy, hatched by UMNO, and carried by the three parties to hoodwink the people," he stressed.
Everybody remembers that Pairin has given the Federal Government until last year (2012) to resolve the illegal immigrants issues in Sabah but look it is already 2013 and even the RCI has been postponed due to UMNO's pressure over the Tanduo's intrusion by Filipinos, Jambun further said.
"Now there is no guarantee that the illegal immigrants issues in Sabah would be resolved even after the coming general election, as the RCI had so far recorded so many incriminating evidences against PBS, UPKO and PBRS' friends and allies in UMNO!" he added.

  9. The ‘Tataba Wave” and UPKO’s desire to solve the illegal immigrants in Sabah were the two key reasons for former Kepayan DAP stalwart Stephen Jimbangan joing the Barisan Nasional.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Stephen admitted that he had read all 25 volumes of UPKO’s research and suggestions pertaining to the problem of illegal immigrants in Sabah and the documentation had proven to him just how determined the party is towards getting the government to find a solution that can finally address the issue.

    ReplyDelete
  11. He denied that his crossing over had anything to do with not being the DAP candidate (for Kepayan) but more of unity of the KadazanDusun Murut community.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Stephen also said that he had laid down a condition for UPKO before joining the party and that was for Dompok to defend the Penampang Parliamentary seat.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Stephen also called on people in Sabah not to allow a repeat of what had happened in 1999 as it would only bring about negative effect on them.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Stephen who was DAP’s candidate for the Kepayan state constituency in the 2008 general election added that he is deeply touched by Dompok’s genuine, firm and consistent struggle in finding solution(s) to the ‘mother of all problems’ in Sabah, namely the illegal immigrants in possession of MyKad.

  15. His (Dompok) proposal for all issued Identity Cards to be returned and re-issued only to genuine Malaysians is a very good proposal and deserve support from all Malaysian citizens, Stephen stressed.

  16. Until the early 1980s the town of Tambunan, located close to the panaromic Crocker Range, was no more than a cowboy town made up of several rows of wooden shops.

    But now concrete shoplots, numerous public amenities and complete infrastructure tells of the success and development enjoyed by the people of the town, as well as the whole of Tambunan district, mostly populated by the Kadazandusun people.

    It is obvious that, the transformation of Tambunan's landscape has very much to do with the personal touch of its 'wakil rakyat' or elected representative Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

    Pairin, the Huguan Siou (supreme leader) of the Kadazandusun Murut (KDM) community has been the 'wakil rakyat' for Tambunan over the last 36 years.

    Pairin, 72, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister and President of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), is also the Keningau Member of Parliament.

    Thousands of Tambunan residents are today enjoying the fruits of development. Though they may not be seeing skyscrapers, they have almost everything to lead a comfortable life.

  17. THE HUGUAN SIOU'S PROMISE OF A GOOD LIFE

    Tambunan People's Development Leader Laiwon Dalus noted that Pairin, who is also the state's Infrastructure Development Minister, has brought numerous developments and public amenities to all the 89 villages in this district with 36,000 people.

    Laiwon recently told Bernama that the government's focus has been in developing a good road system to enhance connectivity including among the villages.

    He stated that the government has allocated RM400 million for the numerous development projects, including upgrading roads and constructing gravity water distribution systems throughout the district from 2006 to 2012.

    The other projects include upgrading of the 11km Jalan Pahu-Sintuong-Tuong at a cost of RM32 million and the 6.5km Jalan Mahua at a cost of RM5.4 million.

    He added that the government had set up the Tambunan Tourist Information Centre costing RM1.8 million last year.

  18. TAMBUNAN THEN AND NOW

    An entrepreneur from Kampung Kirokot, Vincent Sarado, 54, was of the view that his village of 3,500 people have enjoyed various amenities under the Barisan Nasional (BN) government since 1985 compared with previously.

    "There has been significant development unlike previously where even electricity was not available at the village, now everything is there including tarred roads," he said.

    Vincent noted that the people only wanted a stable government that would benefit them and would assist in developing business.

    Further, Kampung Pahu Village Head, Udol Undou, 47, said his village located about 30km from Tambunan town has many facilities and the focus now is to develop a better road system.

    "Previously, the roads were in bad shape whereby when it rained the road became muddy and slippery and it was difficult for small vehicles to pass through. In those days kerosene lamp were used and electricity generated with generators," he said.

    In general, the roads had been used to carry goods from the agricultural, mining and logging sectors apart from the cottage industry products and necessities from the outskirts to the towns.

    A housewife from Kampung Monsok, Helen Yanson, 62, speaking on behalf of her villagers said the daily routine in the village has been made easier by a new concrete bridge worth RM9.2 million in Jalan Monsok that crosses the Sungai Pegalan. The bridge was completed in November 2010.

    The mother of four said the 50-metre bridge connecting five villages has been very helpful for the villagers, especially the farmers who have to market their produce at Tambunan or other towns.

    Apart from that, she said, the bridge is along the main route that takes tourists to Trusmadi Tourism Centre that is being developed close by.

    Besides improvements to the basic infrastructure, Tambunan has many other facilities like the 1Malaysia Clinic in the villages, the Tambunan District Library that is expected to be ready by November 2014 and the gravity water distribution system.

  19. KDM COMMUNITY UNDER PAIRIN SEEN AS EXEMPLARY

    During a recent visit to the district, the writer found that locals residents have high regards for Pairin, who is also the Kadazandusun Murut Cultural Association President, and wanted him to continue representing them.

    Laiwon who has been closely following Pairin's political career noted that the KDM community's leader should be retained to ensure the continuity of the development for the people of Tambunan.

    A succesful businessman from Kampung Nambayan, here, Suhaimi Abdullah, 40, representing the younger generation, agreed that Pairin's leadership is still needed here.

  20. KDM COLLEGE AND RCI'S TRANSPARENCY

    Apart from his deeds in ensuring the well-being of the people, Pairin has been largely credited for mooting the KDM College idea in Sabah, seen as another milestone in the community's success.

    The setting up of the KDM College that was announced during Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's visit to Tambunan on 17 June 2012 opened another chapter in the nation's educational opportunities and is a testament that the government gives priority to all communities in the country.

    The KDM community should be thankful to the federal government and the state government for approving the setting up of the KDM college in Tambunan.

    Meanwhile, noted Laiwon, Pairin was also serious in addrressing the issues plaguing the state and was behind Najib in setting up the Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate foreigners being given identification documents in the state.

  21. TAMBUNAN'S TOURISM POTENTIAL

    The Tambunan district has several tourist attractions including the Mahua waterfalls located about 26km from Tambunan.

    The 17 meter high waterfalls located within the Crocker Range Park is managed by Sabah Parks, under Sabah's Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment.

    It was opened in June 2003, and since then the number of local and foreign visitors coming there has been rising with 14,000 visiting the place last year.

    Now there is the Mahua Rainforest Paradise operated by the Koperasi Mahua Homestay Berhad that offers facilities like the hostel and multi-purpose halls for various events, courses, motivational camps or even family days.

    The resort costing RM1.7 million has been operating since March 2012.

    Meanwhile, the Gunung Trusmadi, the second highest mountain in Malaysia after Mount Kinabalu, is located within Trusmadi Forest Reserve about 25 kilometers from Tambunan town.

    Bernama had quoted Pairin as saying the 2,900 meter high Gunung Trusmadi has the potential to lure in visitors to the interior as it not only offers cool atmosphere but is also rich in biodiversity.

  22. THE PEOPLE'S HOPES

    As at November 2012, there were 13,235 registered voters who would be voting in the 13th General Election (GE13).

    The voters should be able to evaluate the deeds of the supreme leader of the KDM community who has done what ever possible for the people.

    Whatmore, Pairin has indicated that the GE13 will be his last one as the 'wakil rakyat'.

    He was reported saying that the decision was made because it is getting harder for him to serve especially when looking at his advancing age.

    In the 2008 General Election, Pairin won the Keningau Parlimentary seat with a 4,264 majority defeating his own brother Datuk Jeffrey Kitingan from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR). As for the Tambunan seat, he won with a 2,781 majority defeating Mozes Michael Iking from PKR.

    "We want a leader close to his people, a stable government that could provide the people with all the neccesities and development to the area for the benefit of the future generation," said a farmer who wanted to be known only as Ambom.
