It is pointless for native parties in the
Sabah BN coalition to continue with their blind allegiance when it is
now obvious that the federal government 'does not take them seriously'.
KOTA KINABALU: Two serious developments have cropped up in Sabah which got the Barisan Nasional native partners all riled up.One is the federal government’s rejection of the “united” demand of the BN partners to re-issue fresh MyKads to bona fide Sabahans.
The other is the incriminating revelations of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the issuing of MyKads to the illegal immigrants.
Will these two events be reason enough to compel the BN partners to leave the coalition?
Sabah State Reform Party (STAR) hopes these disturbing developments will be enough to lead the parties to collaborate with genuine stakeholders committed to protecting the rights of Sabahans.
With general election weeks away, STAR desperately needs to consolidate with other local parties and wrest the state administration from BN control.
Straddled between giants – BN and Pakatan Rakyat – STAR and Sabah Progressive Peoples Party (SAPP) are the “bigger boys” among the locals.
Both are championing local agendas: STAR has its Borneo Agenda and SAPP has Sabah for Sabahans.
