Sektor Pelancongan Anggar Rugi RM105 Juta, Sektor Perniagaan Vote to ensure BN’s fall, Warisan tells Sabahans Free Malaysia Today May 15, 2017 By Sheith Khidhir Bin Abu Bakar Shafie Apdal says he's confident voters will choose his party if they are thinking of replacing the state government. BEAUFORT: Parti Warisan Sabah president Shafie Apdal has told Sabahans to vote for an opposition party capable of forming a new state government, claiming that his party fits the bill. “I urge Sabahans to vote for a party which can ensure Barisan Nasional’s fall, not just a party that will provide them with a member of parliament but a party that can create a new government for Sabahans,” he said. Shafie was speaking to reporters yesterday after attending an event to celebrate Harvest Day. A reporter had asked him how Warisan would handle competition from other parties in the coming general election. He said he was confident voters would choose Warisan if they were thinking of replacing the BN state government. “They’ll choose Warisan because Warisan has the ability and capacity to topple BN,” he said. It appears that the main contenders in Sabah in the 14th general election will be BN, Pakatan Harapan and Warisan. However, the United Sabah Alliance (USA) has also expressed its intention to enter the fray. USA, which has been active in the last two years, consists of Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Sabah STAR) led by Jeffrey Kitingan, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) led by Yong Teck Lee, Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah led by Lajim Ukin and Parti Perpaduan Rakyat Sabah (PPRS) led by Arshad Abdul Mualap. Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS) was also a member of USA until recently. According to a news report last month, it pulled out to pursue a “grand opposition alliance”. Copyright (C) 2009-2016 MToday News Sdn.

    ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 29 January 2021 The Fall of Warisan in Sabah’s Election: Telltale Signs, Causes and Salient Issues Arnold Puyok* President of the Sabah Heritage Party (Warisan) Shafie Apdal (centre), shows his inked finger after casting his vote at a polling station during state elections in Semporna, a town in Malaysia's Sabah state on Borneo island, on September 26, 2020. Photo: AFP * Arnold Puyok is Senior Lecturer in Politics and Government Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Public opinion polls conducted prior to the 16th Sabah state election provided telltale signs of Warisan’s loss of support and impending electoral defeat. • Warisan’s fall from power was mostly due to the party’s inability to address the priority needs of the largely rural Muslim Bumiputera and Kadazandusun voters. • Research fieldwork during the election campaign and post-election analysis reveal that rural Sabah voters are more concerned with bread-and-butter issues, while their partisan loyalties are not steadfast. They are willing to trade their political support for programmes and policies that yield tangible benefits. • The new state government led by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) will face the twin challenges of appeasing increasingly demanding voters and delivering public goods effectively. • As GRS navigates these politically uncertain times, its future in Sabah looks unpromising. 2 ISSUE: 2021 No. 8 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION In the recent Sabah state election, GRS (Gabungan Rakyat Sabah), comprising BN (Barisan Nasional), PN (Perikatan Nasional) and PBS (Parti Bersatu Sabah), won 38 seats in the state legislative assembly, prevailing over a Warisan-led coalition by a six-seat margin.

  • Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent
    BIBLIOGRAPHICINFORMATION Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent: The Unofficial Appropriation of Rain Forest Title Rent by Rulers in Insular Southeast Asia Between 1970 and 1999 Source http://www.geocities.com/davidbrown_id/Diss/DWB.Fintext.doc Author 1 Brown, David Walter Author 2 NA Author 3 NA Publication/Conference Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation Edition NA Document Type Dissertation CPI Primary Subject East Malaysia CPI Secondary Subject Political economy; Sabah ; Sarawak; Geographic Terms Sabah; Sarawak Abstract NA CentreforPolicyInitiatives(CPI) PusatInitiatifPolisi http://www.cpiasia.org 1 Chapter 1 Introduction The world’s tropical rain forests are important socially and environmentally as well as by virtue of their contributions to economic growth. As these forests are logged, their social values as generators of rural incomes and their environmental services as biodiversity reserves, carbon sinks, soil reserves, and watersheds tend to diminish. Despite these facts, most governments in the tropics are unable to resist logging these forests in favor of national economic objectives, including: creation of a forest industrial sector, higher employment, positive balance of payments, and increased government revenues. However, given the high economic stakes that can be obtained from their forests, it is seems counterintuitive that tropical governments rarely succeed in optimally harnessing government revenue from this valuable natural resource. This staggering loss of revenue to developing countries obviously has important implications for economic development. Timber revenue could be used, for example, to finance the kind of strategic industrial policies that allow the high performing Asian economies to achieve high levels of economic growth. This dissertation argues that states with rain forests are often unable to collect optimal revenue from the massive profit earned by timber companies that harvest state forests because this profit already has a hidden destination.

  • Movement Control and Migration in Sabah in the Time of COVID-19
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 135 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 27 November 2020 Movement Control and Migration in Sabah in the Time of COVID-19 Andrew M. Carruthers* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • After a tumultuous state election, Sabah is now the epicenter of an ongoing “Third Wave” of COVID-19 infections that has swept across Malaysia. • Election campaigning and clandestine cross-border movement have been causally linked by different government actors to this Third Wave, prompting the government to tighten movement control orders and migrant surveillance in Sabah. • As a recent report by the Sovereign Migrant Workers Coalition makes clear, migrant detention practices must be reformulated in response to evolving administrative, epidemiological, and ethical challenges. • Policymakers must grasp that (i) movement control, (ii) migrant care, and (iii) public health are interconnected. * Guest writer, Andrew M. Carruthers, is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, and a former Associate and Visiting Fellow at the ISEAS –Yusuf Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 135 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 25 October 2020, Malaysian King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah declined to declare a National Emergency, despite Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s urging that such an emergency was necessary in the face of an intensifying “Third Wave” of COVID-19 transmission.

  • 20210415 PPRT a Priority for Sabah
    SIARAN AKHBAR Press Release PEJABAT MEDIA & KOMUNIKASI JABATAN KETUA MENTERI 15 April, 2021 KOTA KINABALU: Housing for the hardcore poor under the people's housing programme (PPRT) throughout Sabah will be prioritised, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Haji Noor. He said the State government will look to build more houses especially in the rural and interior areas. At present, an average of just eight PPRT houses have been approved for construction at each state constituency and this certainly warrant change, he stressed. Under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), a sum of RM500 million has been allocated to build PPRT houses in Sabah but the State government will seek a bigger allocation, said the Chief Minister when chairing the State Development Action Council meeting at the State Administrative Centre (PPNS) near here Thursday. The issue was discussed at length during the meeting attended by all state cabinet ministers, permanent secretaries and department heads. In terms of implementation, Hajiji said a request had also been submitted to the Federal Rural Development Ministry to consider giving opportunity to F Class contractors in Sabah to do the project. Addressing the Council earlier, the Chief Minister reminded all implementing federal and state agencies to continue improving performances and qualities of projects for the people’s benefit. According to him, poor workmanship has rendered some buildings unusable upon completion such as the People’s Housing Programme or PPR Salagon in Beaufort. Hajiji also mentioned the Sapulut - Kalabakan Road that he found to be below par compared with the North South Highway, which can accommodate trucks carrying bigger loads.

  • Jeffrey Kitingan Throws Down Gauntlet at Putrajaya Malaysiakini.Com Sept 4, 2014
    Jeffrey Kitingan throws down gauntlet at Putrajaya MalaysiaKini.com Sept 4, 2014 YOURSAY ‘Who are to be blamed for this state of affairs in Sabah and Sarawak?’ 'We fear not arrest for it will make us stronger' Swipenter: Hundreds of police reports would be lodged against Sabah Star chairperson Jeffrey Kitingan for his hard-hitting but factual speech by Umno Baru politicians, their supporters, Perkasa, Isma and other numerous NGOs. Also you dare to challenge our inspector-general of police (IGP) directly to arrest you. Jeffrey, you must have an "arrest wish". See you in jail soon. Kawak: Jeffrey Kitingan, who are to be blamed for this state of affairs in Sabah and Sarawak? The political leaders from Sabah and Sarawak are the real culprits themselves. For self-interest, these natives of the two states have split into so many political parties instead of one cohesive party. CQ Muar: Tunku Abdul Rahman would most probably be "kicking" in his grave should the Federation of Malaysia, inclusive of Sabah and Sarawak, were to de-merge or dissolve as a result of all the ruts being brought about by the present Umno leadership headed by PM Najib Abdul Razak. With no end in sight, aggravated by the recent swoop on opposition leaders, Umnoputras together with all their extremist, religious bigots and racist Malays will certainly bring about the downfall of this once peaceful nation. History is there for us to see, and serve as an imminent possibility that nothing can be taken for granted. Unless and until everyone wakes up and envisages such a reality, Malaysia is headed for doom.

    Point of no return for Sapp Malaysiakini.com Jun 18, 2008 Tony Thien The Sabah Progressive Party’s (Sapp) press conference, which kicked off just after 2pm at the party headquarters in Bornion Centre in Kota Kinabalu, was packed with both local and foreign journalists. MCPX The excitement was palpable as hours before the event, there was much speculation as to what the 'important announcement' was going to be. sapp sabah pc 180608 01At the 90-minute press conference, Sapp chief Yong Teck Lee was seen flanked by Tawau member of parliament and party vice-president, Dr Chua Soon Bui, and other top members of the party supreme council. Sapp has one other MP, Eric Enchin Majimbun (Sepanggar) - he was not at today’s event as he was overseas on “official business”. Also absent were the party's four state assemblypersons, which included Sabah deputy chief minister and deputy president Raymond Tan and assistant minister Melanie Chia. According to a party official, their absence was to send the message that the press conference was called solely on the issue of the party's lack of confidence in Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's leadership. Apparently, at the state level, Sapp will continue to be part of the Sabah government. The press conference began with Chua reading her statement and this was followed by Majimbun’s press statement - which was read by a party leader - and finally the statement made by Yong himself. Expect next move on Friday The party's supreme council will meet on Friday but it is not known what will be on the agenda, other than to discuss the parliamentary sitting on Monday where a notice is to be given for a motion of no confidence to be tabled against Abdullah.

  • Kadazandusun Community the Loser If Leaders Fight for CM's Post (NST 23
    23/07/2000 Kadazandusun community the loser if leaders fight for CM's post Joseph Bingkasan AMIDST denials by State Government leaders of an imminent reshuffle of the Sabah Cabinet, the United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Organisation (Upko) has reinforced its claim to the Chief Minister's post. This Upko move is prompted by the growing popularity of another Kadazandusun-based Barisan Nasional component party, Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS). Like Upko, PBRS is also keen to have one of its leaders become Chief Minister. Under the rotation system, Sabah Umno head Datuk Seri Osu Sukam's two- year term as Chief Minister will end in March next year. He has to pass on the baton of power to an assemblyman representing the non-Muslim Bumiputera (Kadazandusun and Murut) community. Osu, who is also State Finance Minister, was sworn in to head the State Cabinet, representing the Muslim Bumiputera community, after being returned as Kawang assemblyman in the State election in March last year. Under the rotation system introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad in 1994, the Chief Minister's post is rotated among leaders of the Muslim Bumiputera, non-Muslim Bumiputera and Chinese communities, not necessarily in that order. Upko's claim for the post after Osu's term expires is based on the fact that a Kadazandusun leader, Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, did not complete his two-year term when the State Assembly was dissolved to make way for the March 1999 State election. Dompok was Chief Minister for about 10 months and was unable to continue to hold the post after he failed to retain the Moyog seat.
