Courageous leaders who dare to defy KL

Any p'sula party will find SAPP cannot be controlled

Political observer in Forum recently claimed that Pakatan Rakyat "returned the favour to SAPP" (for leaving the BN) by giving SAPP the "cold shoulder", Sabahans must not stop being naive any more. SAPP must wake up. PR leaders in KL will finish off SAPP for one simple reason - it is not that SAPP cannot be trusted. It is because SAPP cannot be controlled by KL.

The last thing they want in Sabah is a political party like SAPP which dared to defy their national leaders.Remember what happened to Usno's Tun Mustapha?

PR, like BN, wants to control Sabah and its resources such as oil, land, forests and wealth, When Malaysia was conceived in 1962, KL only wanted Sabah and Sarawak to balance oil off the Singaporean Chinese population.

"Development" was only an afterthought to lure the naive peoples of Borneo. Neither BN nor PR will change this basic power equation in Malaysia's
Politics of Federalism .

PKR, DAP and PAS leaders saw how SAPP declared no confidence on the Prime Minister in 2008, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim had shrewdly used SAPP for his Sept 16 bid to take Putrajaya. This failed miserably and remains Anwar's biggest blunder. SAPP left BN and sacrificed posts; benefits and access to government.

PR does not want such courageous leaders who dared to defy KL; they cannot let SAPP set an example for Sabah PKR, DAP and PAS leaders. Such defiance of national leaders would make Sabah uncontrollable. Look at what happened to Dr Jeffrey Kitingan whose ambitions of rewriting the Malaysian constitution to elevate the Borneo states to equal status with Malaya scared the hell out of Anwar.

As for DAP, in the April Sarawak state elections, the Sarawak DAP's authority to appoint election candidates used from 1978 until 2008 was withdrawn by the DAP Secretary General.

Because SAPP refused to be like a buffalo led by the nose, PR will plot and manipulate and manoeuver to finish of SAPP and put an end to any more talk of "autonomy". PR will say SAPP cannot be trusted. They know that it is not because SAPP cannot be trusted but because SAPP cannot be controlled.

How is SAPP going to fight to win? The answer to that question is Sabahans want to know.
