Non-racial politics (revisited 3rd time)

Zaid attacks race politics
Amid widespread speculation over his political future, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has criticised his own party Umno for contributing to race relations problems.
He also urged Umno to engender a more fair-minded administration, and lead the Malays towards having better race relations with non-Malays.

Speaking to the mass-circulation Chinese-language Sin Chew Daily in his most extensive interview since resigning as a member of the Cabinet recently, Zaid also called for more open debates over "sensitive issues”.

He also pointed out that the results of the March general election were a clear message from the people that they wanted change, but the government had failed to change. (Quoted from MalaysianInsider)

  1. Zahid is a very real example of ungreatful individu. Did noy contest in election, appointed senator the full minister. After lost in his bid to be ketua umno bahagian he blame umno delegates. Yhe right word for him is "sampalao". When he was still a minister, he tried stopping people to critisize pak lah and umno..NOW WHO IS TALKING? I know for the fact that the opposision just used him as a TOLL not more than that.Sometime I wonder if he is a man!

  5. Well done and keep up your good work Datuk Eric. This is on the tip of the Iceberg. See what does Syed Botak Hamid going to reply.

    Anyway, i will send your article to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Government on what UMNO has done and destroy the Sabahan ie Kadazan, Murut & Dusun.

    SABAH MYKAD SCANDAL: Filipino illegal, MP have same MyKad address

    KOTA KINABALU: The surname and address on his MyKad are the same as the ones belonging to Sepanggar member of parliament Datuk Eric Majimbun, but they are not related. Neither do they know each other.

    The MyKad carries the name Jerome Majimbon and the address is Kampung Pomotodon, Jalan Kionsom, Inanam.

    In Sabah, people are regarded as having the same surname despite a slight variation in spelling.

    Majimbun said: "I was surprised because we don't have a relative with such a name and the people in Kampung Pomotodon are unaware of the existence of such a person in the village."

    He found out that the man in question was a Filipino illegal immigrant whose real name is Jerom Maguil.

    Majimbun wants answers from the Home Ministry and the National Registration Department (NRD) on how the man had obtained the MyKad bearing the number 560930-12-5739.

    "I have written to the secretary-general of the Home Ministry but I have yet to receive a reply," he said yesterday.

    He cited the case to support his contention that the issuance of fake MyKad in Sabah was rampant.

    He said a constituent of his was also given permanent resident status despite being born in Sabah long before it had joined the federation of Malaysia.

    "How is it possible that a Malaysian, who has been here for years and years, is denied a MyKad and citizenship and yet there are many cases of foreigners who obtain MyKad through dubious means?"

    He said the government should set up a body to deal with issues related to dubious MyKad holders.

    He said there were many discrepancies in the issuing of MyKad by the NRD, but nothing had been done to correct them. He said although the state government had set up a committee to look into the matter, it had not made a difference.

    "The problem has been going on for more than 30 years. We should have a computerised monitoring system but, since it is too late, we should start at the beginning.

    "A royal commission would be a good idea, but this has been rejected by the government."

    "In Sabah, we have the Sabah Registration of Births and Deaths Ordinance 1953 which states that all late registrations have to be done in court proceedings through a first class magistrate. Has this really been done?"

    Majimbun, who is deputy president of the Sabah Progressive Party which pulled out of Barisan Nasional, reiterated his call for a study on the 285 per cent growth in population in Sabah over 30 years. He heads the party's foreigners and MyKad issues bureau.

  6. Datuk Zaid Ibrahim's a courageous person. He spoke out for reform while he's a minister and continues doing it while he's not. It's not important whether he quits Umno so long he's persistent for what he believes in. This will provide a stark contrast to those power crazy characters who now remain in Umno, an impetus for it's earlier demise.

  7. BIDOR: The Perak government wants to get rid of the Kamunting detention centre from the state.

    State executive councillor A. Sivanesan said he would look into the legal avenues and land legislation to see how the Pakatan Rakyat-led state could reclaim the land alienated to the Federal Government to build the camp.

    The state would look into the Land Acquisition Act to see how it could order the Barisan Nasional Government to move the camp out.

    Sivanesan suggested the detention centre be relocated to Barisan Nasional strongholds such as Pahang or Johor.

    “Pakatan is against the Internal Security Act (ISA) and the camp is in Kamunting, Taiping, Perak.

    “If they (Barisan) are not going to abolish the ISA, then move out the camp and give us back the land,” he said Sunday after meeting orang asli (aborigines) at Kampung Chang Sungai Gepai, about 70km from Ipoh.

    However, Sivanesan said he had yet to bring up the idea at the weekly state executive council meeting.

  10. Eric has shown us what is a true kadazan and fighter for Sabah.

    He is daring to take the matter to higher levels if he had to make the KL umno controlled NRD do the right thing.

    No matter how Eric's age is, he is still very much younger than Badawi, so this previous comment by anonymous is cowardice in nature, evil in character, lack of conscientious and honesty.

    Don't comment in this blog when you don't appeal to the majority!
