Lagi sokongan untuk PBS bertanding MP Tenom

Oleh: BASIR ABDULLAH

Saudara Pengarang,

Saya menyokong penuh kenyataan Adun Melalap Datuk Radin Malleh supaya pucuk pimpinan BN menimbang untuk memberi peluang kepada PBS untuk mewakili BN untuk bertanding di kerusi Parlimen P.181 Tenom. Kini sudah menjadi pengetahuan umum bahawa Datuk Rubin Balang, Ketua Bahagian UMNO Tenom sedang mempersiapkan jentera pilihanraya untuk bertanding di kerusi Parlimen P.181 Tenom atas tiket BN. Dan adalah diuar-uarkan bahawa pucuk pimpinan UMNO telah bersetuju dengan pencalonan beliau. Beliau sekarang adalah ADUN N.36 Kemabong.

Frustrated PBS yet again cries foul over power sharing and illegal immigrants

By Ezra Haganez Penampang, SABAH: Eight years after rejoining Barisan Nasional (BN) in 2002, today Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) at its 25th annual general meeting here yet registered its dissatisfaction on two things in BN : Unfair power-sharing, and the presence of illegal immigrants in the state. PBS passed the two resolutions calling on the BN state leadership to come up with a fairer power-sharing formula, and to quickly resolve the perennial problems of a large presence of illegal immigrants by 2012. This two isues had been a must topic at PBS previous AGMs, either as motion/resolution or points of discussion while debating other motions. Today, PBS Vice Presidents, Datuk Herbert Timbon Lagadan, and Datuk Radin Malleh, read the respective motions, prepared by the party's supreme council. They were not a motion from the floor, rather from the supreme council, as explaind by Lagadan. This, give credence to talks that PBS is far from satisfied with how Sabah is run by the UMNO-led BN coalition in the state.
