Sabah MyKad issue: 'Umno-BN doesn't care'

A Barisan Nasional MP's 100-page memorandum to the Home Ministry, complete with documented evidence to prove that foreigners in Sabah have gained Malaysian identification documents through dubious means, is a "wasted effort" and merely "window-dressing".

"It's unlikely to upset the Barisan Nasional applecart in the general election because as far as Umno-BN is concerned, it is a non-issue... they don't care," said Sabah Progressive Party deputy president Eric Majimbun, alluding to Tuaran MP Wilfred Bumburing's recent announcement that he had submitted sufficient proof to Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein as requested by the latter.

Majimbun, who is also Sepanggar MP, said nothing would come of Bumburing's United Pasukun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation's (Upko) brave act of collating evidence against abuse by coalition boss, Umno, in the contentious issue of citizenship for foreigners.

Who will be the next Chinese DCM this time?

With the departure of Peter Pang from LDP, he will not be expected to hold on to the DCM post for long  ... has to follow Raymond Tan's footsteps ... pick your choices - Gerakan, MCA, PBS, Upko, PBRS? Leap from Party to Party! or roll the dice!

Now, the Sabah-based parties are saying it should be given to a local party.
The equation is.....Pang cannot follow Raymond Tan's footsteps by joining Gerakan ....Gerakan never won any election in Sabah and furthermore cannot be given 2 ministerial posts. On the other hand, MCA cannot fill the DCM post because it is from Semenanjung as opposed by the other component parties, the option is to join the local parties available...PBS, Upko, PBRS.
