Appeal to YDP Agong on GE13

From:  Joshua Y. C. Kong, P. O. Box 11923, 88821 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. 088 247823

DYMM YDP Agong                                                              24th June,, 2013

Istana Negara,  Kuala Lumpur.

Greetings from Sabah, Daulat Tuanku.

Ampun Tuanku,

This appeal is to the DYMM YDP Agong only, thank you.

Re: General Elections 2013 and formation of Government

As a whistleblow for the nation especially for Sabah, I have a burden for all after the General elections 2013 had been fixed yet again by the Election Commission Malaysia (ECM) as in GE2004 and GE2008.  The evidence of the rigged GE13 is everywhere and also in the many Courts cases now filed.

2.         Just to mention to you Ampun Tuanku, I am to list three very important items to confirm the rigged GE13 known to the Election Commission Malaysia as follows:-

2.1.  The official main Gazette of 22nd May, 2013 together with the subsequent -corrigendum - Gazette of 31st May, 2013 confirm the GE13 as null, void and illegal as the Form 16 cannot be amended by anyone.  The official main Gazette did not comply with the Form 16 as there was a missing item like the ‘referee’ not playing by own rules.

2.2.  The indelible ink was easily washed within minutes meaning ECM designed it for cheating.

2.3.  The ECM only demanded the aggrieved parties to lodge Police Reports and nothing is followed up by ECM or the relevant authorities such as the PDRM, MACC, Judiciary have failed the nation.

3.         To speak a simple language - the ECM is caught again with pent down in cheating.

4.         So Ampun Tuanku, please do the following immediately -

4.1.      As ECM is appointed by you, ECM’s Commissioners should be removed and replaced with new independent commissioners.

4.2       Suspend the present illegitimate Government and instal an Interim Good Governance Government (IGGG)..

Yang benar,

Joshua Y. C. Kong

11. Sabah state Cabinet controlled by CRIMINALS

 Can the CRIMINALS in BN/UMNO/EC confirm that code 71 is entitled to vote and can become assembly persons and also Assistant ministers and also those with Project IC can join the state Cabinet, Joshua

This is part of my Police Report against the ECM run by CRIMINALS in BN/UMNO

4.1     The EC should address the validity of the Electoral Rolls so much so that While many believe that adults of voting age with the code 71 in the identity cards are not allowed to be registered as voters but over times we have some such holders had been elected as representatives and also holders of cabinet positions in the persons of Christina Liew (NRIC 520XXX-71-52XX / H011XXX8 now elected for the state seat N15 Api-Api in Sabah and Datuk Dr. Hj Patawari bin Hj Patawe (Nric 571XXX12XX51/H6008708/571XXX71XX51) who was once an Assistant minister and Nilwan Kabang – a man with NRIC 500XXX-12-5360/H008XXX9 –an even ending number in 5360- for a woman.  With the ongoing RCI on illegal immigrants in Sabah and project IC, the Police and the relevant authorities that our Roll is for genuine Malaysians only.

10. Would the CRIMINALS return Labuan and Kuala Lumpur to Sabah & Selangor respectively?

I think Labuan is full of problems even as a Federal Territory.

Similarly KL FT is meaningless with 9 MPs from the PR.

To be honest, what are the 9 of the 12 MPs in KL FT doing in KL as MPs.

Better return KL FT to Selangor so that the State government of Selangor can look after
KL better in terms of facilities.

It would seem DBKL is reigning in KL FT without any inputs  from the 12 MPS.

Have I heard any daily views from the 12 MPs in KL?

Similarly, what is MP in Labuan doing to bring advancement to Labuan?

See the terrible story from Labuan ---

50% ferry subsidy for lorries to be scrapped

by Adrian Nandu. Posted on June 23, 2013, Sunday

LABUAN: Labuan Consumer Movement Council chairperson Hajah Fauziah Datuk Mohd Din yesterday announced that the 50 per cent subsidy provided for commercial lorries (Menumbok-Labuan) may cease immediately.
Hajag Fauziah said that according to a study made by the Consumerism, Co-operatives and Domestic Trade Ministry (KPDNKK) in Labuan, they had found out that the subsidy is not making any impact towards reducing the prices of goods here.
“The outcome from our recent meeting between the KPDNKK and the council was that the subsidised ferry tickets worth RM17 million for commercial lorries to bring goods here should be allocated for other subsidies that might bring more benefit to the people of Labuan,” she said.
Hajah Fauziah also agreed with the proposal by the chambers of commerce here to set up a consortium to tackle the issue of expensive goods in Labuan.
It was proposed that a warehouse be rented in Kuala Lumpur so that goods bought in bulk can be shipped directly to Labuan with cheaper cost of transportation.
“The subsidy worth RM17 million will either be used to pay for the warehouse rent or for the shipping of goods. The subsidy might even be used to cover for both expenses.
“This is a far better alternative compared to subsidies for commercial lorries. The prices of goods here is still increasing, with some surging to almost 50 per cent, especially at eateries.
“The cost of living in Labuan is high and it is only getting higher,” she said.
Meanwhile, Hajah Fauziah said that the council will be holding a meeting with wholesalers for raw foods to identify other possible reasons for the increase in prices of goods here.
Furthermore, the council will distribute a list of eateries here offering reasonable prices at their outlets to promote their premises, she said.
“We will discuss with the restaurants on how to make their premises more popular among consumers,” Hajah Fauziah said.
On the other hand, she criticised the Labuan Water Supply Department for its alleged incompetence in dealing with the water shortage here where the problem was expected to only last a week here in the duty-free island.
“I cannot tolerate the department’s incompetence in dealing with this issue, as they do not even have an emergency plan to face a problem like this,” Hajah Fauziah said.
Earlier, the department had issued a notice informing the public about the shortage of water supply here for a week, starting from June 18 till June 27.
The department identified the cause of the problem as failure of the clean water pump at the treated water plant located in Kampung Lawa Gadang, Beaufort.
According to the notice, the main challenge for the department was to get spare parts for the broken pump.
“If we had an emergency plan here then, should the problem occur at Beaufort, we here would not have been affected by it as we would have ample water supply in reserve to cater to the people’s needs here for a month.
“Labuan is a small place and yet, the department did not have any emergency plan to face a situation like this.
“This island, as a federal territory, should be prioritised like other federal territories such as Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. Labuan should have allocation for an emergency plan,” she said.
Hajah Fauziah recalled that water shortage occurred quite often here and it was time for the relevant authority to act upon this problem.

9. Criminals over RM40billions tax collected from Sabah

Who are the CRIMINALS over RM40b and you know who?


Dr Jeffrey can be right in a way on the RM40billions if  we consider all the revenue collected by the Federal Government by the exploitation in Sabah.

The DG of IRD can be right as far his department in Sabah collecting the tax of RM4 billions..

But there are other taxes hidden away from the eyes of Sabahans.

What about the AP import taxes on those foreign made luxurious cars?

What we get back over the decades are peanut compared with the daylight robberies by the Ali Baba and more than 40 thieves.

What about the tax paid by Petronas from the oil and gas derived from Sabah but paid direct to the Central IRD?

What about the foreign companies operating in Sabah but paid their taxes to KL?

What about the public listed companies operating in Sabah including the airlines but paid their taxes to KL?


All these can come up to RM40 billions annually.

So I would want the KL to segregate the taxes attributable to Sabah.

8. GST at 7% is another robbery by CRIMINALS in Government

How to justify 7% if not another robbery by the CRIMINALS in Government?  Joshua


http://www.theborneopost.com/2013/06/20/state-govt-agrees-to-gst-implementation/

State Govt agrees to GST implementation

Posted on June 20, 2013, Thursday

THE State Government has agreed to the implementation of the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) at seven per cent if all potential implications are taken into account seriously.
Assistant Finance Minister Datuk Ramlee Marahaban said this in reply to a question from Likas assemblyman Junz Wong at the State Legislative Assembly sitting yesterday.
Wong had asked if the State Government agreed to the proposed GST which would be implemented this year.
“The Federal Government announced recently that the proposed GST would not be implemented in the near future as the government is still studying the implications and also whether it is appropriate to impose seven per cent.
“The government also has explained that discussions are still being conducted with relevant parties, including the private sector and members of the public.
“I believe the proposed GST is not only seen as an additional income but will also add value to the well-being of the people in a holistic manner,” said Ramlee.
He added that the State Government had expressed a number of opinions in several forums related to the GST.
Ramlee said the State Government had written responses and proposals to the tax review panel unit under the Finance Ministry to ensure that it is in the best interest of the people.
The Bugaya assemblyman also said the State Government was confident that the Federal Government would be taking into account all aspects of the proposed GST before implementing it.
“The Federal Government has been organizing a series of roadshows from time to time to give more education on GST, while the State Government will work closely with the tax review panel unit and to organize briefing to explain about GST.
“I believe this kind of approach will be continued according to the needs, before GST is implemented,” he added.

7. Criminals in Government have enjoyed such trade

This has been going on for decades and yet BN/UMNO allows its at it favour (syiok-syiok for them too) the  CRIMINALS in the authorities.  Joshua

Sex stimulants sold openly in KK – rep

Posted on June 20, 2013, Thursday

KOTA KINABALU: Activists have voiced their concern over the rampant sale of sex stimulants and toys at the city sidewalks and in several other towns, blaming it on the increase in social ills in the state, according to Kiulu assemblyman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai.
Among these items were flavoured condoms and sexual enhancement drugs, he said when debating the Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin’s policy speech during the 14th State Assembly sitting yesterday.
Joniston told the House that these stimulants were being sold near cheap hotels or lodging houses.
“A social activist, who is also a a medical practitioner, has recently voiced his concern over the sale of these items openly at the sidewalks of the city.
“He fears that these would contribute and lead to the increase in social ills and sex crimes such as rape, involving underage girls, pre-marital sex and worst, baby dumping.
“Some quarters may view this as a minor problem, but if left unchecked, it can lead to serious social problems,” he stressed.
On another matter, Joniston suggested that fire extinguishers be provided to rural families living far from fire stations, describing it as so much cheaper than re-building a burnt house.
“A fire extinguisher costs about RM160. It is just a minor expenditure compared to the cost of rebuilding a house and property costing about RM50,000 to RM100,000. I believe it is more practical to provide them with fire extinguishers so they would be able to act should a fire break out,” he said.
He noted that there were three fire incidents over the past two months in his constituency, located some 40kms from the city.
Joniston also proposed for affordable homes to be built in the outskirts and rural areas, rather than concentrating them in urban areas only.
“We would also appreciate if the government would consider the construction of Housing Project for the Hardcore Poor (PPRT) as many of the constituents in my area are living in dilapidated homes,” he said.
The first-time assemblyman also called on the government to allocate funds for the upgrading and repair of 72 suspension bridges in several villages within his constituency, and also to upgrade the 120-kilometre gravel stretch and 173-kilometre earth road.
He also touched on the outreach programme to help those in need, especially the elderly, particularly recipients of the Elderly People’s Aid (or BOT, in short), and proposed that the Welfare Services Department officers in Tamparuli set up a booth to hand out the assistance rather than to wait for these people to come to the office.
“Most of them are weak and sick, so I do not see any reason why the department officers and personnel cannot go out, set up a booth nearer to the recipients’ houses to hand out the assistance,” he said.
Meanwhile, Joniston also called for the setting up of a training institute that specialises in training community leaders at the grassroots such as Village Security and Development Committee (JKKK) to expose them to effective administration and management courses to ensure a smooth implementation of projects in the rural areas.
“They may learn skills such as record management, how to produce working papers to apply for projects, as well as to master information and communication technology (ICT) so they would be able to work with the assemblymen, government departments and agencies, and district offices through e-government,” he said.

6. What to expect of a Government run by CRIMINALS?

Why no charge by AG for false Police Report under penal code 182?   The Police report does not go well with criminals in authorities... hence withdrawn just like that, Joshua

Rape: Police report cannot be simply withdrawn – lawyer

Posted on June 21, 2013, Friday

KOTA KINABALU: A lawyer who is holding a watching brief for a number of women’s organisations in a rape case involving a restaurant manager, said a report lodged with the police cannot be simply withdrawn.
A report lodged with the police cannot be withdrawn as stated in the Attorney-General Chambers online portal, Mary Lee told Sessions Court Judge Ummu Khaltom Abd Samad at the mention of Riduan Masmud’s case here yesterday.
“There is public misconception that a police report can be withdrawn despite the seriousness of the offence against Riduan Masmud,” she said.
According to her, what the victim’s father can do legally is to lodge a separate police report to inform the prosecution that he does not wish to proceed with the case, and provide supporting reasons and grounds.
However, she said the final decision rests with the prosecution’s office.
Ummu Khaltom declined to comment on the concern raised by the counsel, left it to the Attorney-General Chambers to decide.
DPP Luke Ressa told the court that the prosecution would proceed with the trial scheduled for July 1-4 this year.
Riduan allegedly raped the 13-year-old girl on Feb 18 this year at a car park in Inanam and then married her.
Riduan, represented by counsel Loretto S. Padua Jr, was charged under Section 376 (1) of the Penal Code which provides for 20 years’ imprisonment and whipping on conviction.
The watching brief lawyers are Mary Lee for Sabah Women Action Resource Group (SAWO), Women’s Centre for Change Penang (WCC Penang), Sisters in Islam and Mama Anne of Bukit Harapan; Datuk Mariati Robert for Befrienders Kota Kinabalu, Mary Gomez for Voices of the Children Malaysia and Datuk G.B.B. Nandy @ Gaanesh for Sabah Law Association.

5. Criminals at work to destroy Sabah

Jeffrey, it is CRIMINALshed not cowshed as you want to know how much had been stolen from Sabab by BN/UMNO governments since 1963, Joshua

http://www.theborneopost.com/2013/06/21/jeffrey-likens-assembly-to-cowshed/

Jeffrey likens assembly to cowshed

Posted on June 21, 2013, Friday

KOTA KINABALU: A senior politician yesterday expressed disappointment over the conduct of the State Assembly sitting, and likened the august House to a cowshed.
Bingkor assemblyman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the State Assembly has lost its touch to be a place where elected assemblymen are free to express and speak for the people, especially when debating the government’s policy speech by Head of State Tun Haji Juhar Mahiruddin.
“But here I find it is like a kandang sapi (cowshed), there is no discipline, no control, no freedom of speech, and they gang up from the backbenchers to the ministers, right up to the Speakers. And here I also find that the Speaker is even involved in the argument, in making comments and debate, when he is supposed to control the conduct of the session,” he said.
Jeffrey pointed out that the leaders today are dictated by their attitude, and their attitude is being dictated by the long indoctrination of how one should conduct oneself.
“They (backbenchers and ministers) are taking advantage of the Speaker. They kept interrupting, raising the Point of Order and asking for ‘penjelasan’ (explanation), but instead of asking me, they go around talking about it. And the Speaker does not adhere to explanation when I pointed out it was not right.
“And I am surprised that there are things I can say outside but I cannot say inside the House, which is supposed to be the other way round. Words like ‘autonomy’ and ‘negara’ (country), that is why I am very disappointed … we are supposed to progress from those colonial and old days to better days,” he said.
Jeffrey pointed out that all assemblymen should work together for the country and the people.
“We are one system, we are in the same system, the government has its role, so does the opposition. So why not let us do our part and express our part and let them (ministers) listen, and let the people listen and see if it is good. I was not even attacking the government, just giving suggestion how to improve the finance of the government, how to claim our rights and revenue from the collection of the federal government,” said Jeffrey.
He said the state government may claim its rights under the Schedule 10 of the Constitution to recover 40 per cent of the revenue that is collected by the federal government and back to the state.
“This is the Constitution. Imagine 40 per cent of RM40 billion, where this year they are projecting to collect RM40 billion in taxes, which is the nett revenue minus capitation and road grants. Let’s just say the minimum after deducting the two grants that may not even come up to RM5 billion, we will have RM35 billion.
“So 40 per cent from that is RM14 billion, which is additional fund for Sabah plus the RM4 billion they collect from the state government. We can have about RM18 billion in state revenue and it is much better than the RM4 billion we are getting now.
“And the same thing goes with the oil taken from the state, which is taken improperly. I suggested that we request for a review because it is within our rights. We are not asking something that does not belong to us. We can have that and have the right to impose royalty on our own, but royalty was denied to us,” he said.
“Imagine if we collect 10 per cent royalty which belongs to the state as the one they (federal government) paid to us is not oil royalty, because we have been asked to reject our own rights to collect royalty under Section 4 of the Oil Agreement.
“But just imagine if we collect even 10 per cent, and I am not even saying 20 per cent, on our own of the coming production of 500,000 barrels per-day, by 2015 it is three times the amount of what is being produced today in Sabah, which is 170,000 barrels per-day, to which last year, it made RM18.8 billion.
“By 2015, this amount of value will be more than RM50 billion. So with 10 per cent, we can get RM5 billion, and plus the 5 per cent they are giving, that will be RM2.5 billion, and altogether sums up to RM7.5 billion. Add up to the taxes which is RM18 billion, what we have is RM25 to RM26 billion in revenue, and that would be much better for the state so we can carry out much better development and resolve a lot of problems. We do not even have to beg the federal government for money,” he said.

4. Crimionals in Government robbing poor Sabah dry

Do a White paper on this statement of  chief Criminal, Joshua

KL gives more than it gets – CM

Posted on June 21, 2013, Friday

THE federal government has allocated more to Sabah than the revenues it has collected from the state, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.
He said in 2012 alone, the federal government’s management and development expenditure in Sabah amounted to RM9, 083.43 million, an increase of RM926.49 million (11%) compared to RM8,156.94 million in 2011.
“With such a close relationship between the state and central governments, we believe the federal government will provide more development allocations for Sabah,” he said in winding up the debate on the Head of State’s policy speech for the Finance Ministry.
Musa, who is also the Finance Minister, thus shot down the suggestion by Bingkor assemblyman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan that the state government should demand 40 per cent or two-fifths of the central government tax revenue collection of the state as stated under Schedule Table 10 of the Federal Constitution.
He pointed out that it was clear that the proposal by Jeffrey was misplaced as the Special Grant payment cited by the latter had been amended as allowed under Article 112 D of the Federal Constitution.
“For the information of this august House, talks are held with the federal government on the matter from time to time,” Musa added.
Based on information received from the Accountant General Department (Sabah), Musa said the total revenue for the federal government from the state in 2012 was RM4, 429.53 million.
Of this total, about 69.6 per cent or RM3, 085 million was the collection of the Federal Ministry of Finance, in particular the Inland Revenue Board. About 18.5 per cent or RM818.5 million was the collection of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, while the rest were from the Ministry of Transport, the Department of Immigration and other federal departments.
“According to records of the Accountant General Department (Sabah), revenue collection has increased by RM683.44 million (18%) compared to RM3, 746.09 million in 2011.
“I am pleased to inform this august House that the federal government has provided bigger allocation to Sabah than the revenues it received from the state,” he said.
On the issue of oil royalty being raised by Jeffrey and other members of the House, Musa pointed out that the five per cent cash payment received by the state is based on the agreement that was signed between the state government and Petroleum Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) on June 14, 1976.
“As explained, from the 10 per cent petroleum-derived value in Sabah, five per cent is payable to the state and five per cent to the federal government. The remaining 90 per cent is used by Petronas and its partners to meet the high costs of oil exploration and production.
” Although the oil royalty rate is set at five per cent, the state government has enjoyed increased payments from RM365.4 million in 2007 to RM941.25 million in 2012, each based on the production of 28,156,504 barrels in 2007 and 49,737,978 barrels in 2012,” Musa added.
As such, he said the state government has a more orderly and consensus approach in addressing these issues.
“For example, Petronas has invested in the state through the development of Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGIT). The construction of SOGIT backed by the 300 Megawatt Combined-cycled Gas Power Plant in Kimanis is intended to increase electricity generation capacity to accommodate growing demand.
“In addition, through the assistance and cooperation of the federal government and Petronas, the state government is also developing oil and gas-based industries, known as the “Sipitang Oil and Gas Industry Park (SOGIP)”,” he said, adding that there were other projects now in progress such as SAMUR involving investment of RM2 billion and SAMUR 2 with investments of RM2.6 billion.
On the calls for increased allocation for the purpose of religious development in the state, Musa said the state government had never neglected the issue of religious development as a whole.
“Each year, adequate allocation is always made available for such purpose,” he said, and reminded members of the House including those from the opposition that “we have a similar vision and mission, which is to protect and serve the people and the areas we represent.”

3. How official crimnals work with illegal criminals in more than a few millions?

What a shit coming from criminals when over a few millions of illegal people already occupy Sabah by default and soon kick out the genuine locals by ethnic cleansing and apartheid of the federal BN/umno Govt of criminals..especially after GE2004, GE2008, GE2013..  what protection then???  Joshua

Govt reassures state is protected

Posted on June 21, 2013, Friday

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government yesterday reassured that it would not allow even an inch of the state’s soil to be claimed by any parties.
Special Task Minister Datuk Teo Chee Kang, in stressing this, said the Sabah government would do its level best to ensure that the interests of the state were protected.
He said this in response to concern raised by Tamparuli assemblyman Datuk Wilfred Bumburing’s over claims made over Sabah by the Sultan of Sulu descendants, which led to a month-long standoff incident at Kampung Tanduo, some 150 kilometres from Lahad Datu.
Speaking when reading the Chief Minister’s Department winding up speech during the 14th State Assembly sitting, here, Teo however disclosed that it was under the federal government’s prerogative on the decision to make the cession money payment to the Sultan of Sulu descendants.
“The state government, however, has confidence that the issue will be handled well by the federal government,” he said.
On the Not To Land (NTL) order on opposition leaders Nurul Izzah Anwar and Tian Chua, Teo explained that the state government had acted based on the considerations made as stipulated in the laws and regulations.
“The state government was advised by security forces that when the banning was imposed, the situation was quite tight in Peninsular Malaysia following the mass illegal assembly initiated by the opposition. To prevent similar incident from happening here, especially since we were celebrating the Kaamatan (Harvest) Festival, we have decided to impose the ban on them from entering Sabah.
“But now that things are back to normal, the state government has lifted the ban,” he said.
Teo said the banning was imposed on those whom the state government thought would be a threat to the security and public order of the state .
“It was just a preventive measure. It was not restricted to the two leaders only but would also be imposed on those whom we feel would bring threats to the state security,” he explained.
He said the security forces would from time-to-time evaluate and investigate such cases, should there be a need to do so.

2. Government of Criminals to go

Quote:  "We want a fair and just government not a government of criminals."

 

 

by Zaid Ibrahim
May 14, 2013

 

I have never seen as many vile and seditious statements invading the public sphere as I have in this past week. 

=   We’ve had Utusan Malaysia provoking the Chinese for rejecting the Barisan Nasional 

=   and UMNO leaders labeling non-UMNO Malays as greedy and easily misled. 

=  An academic suggested the abolishment of vernacular schools to encourage unity among the races 

=  and an old “historian” said that the Chinese are not actually keen on unity. 

=  To cap it off, a retired Court of Appeal judge practically made a call for “restoring” Malay rights and dignity by whatever means. I never realised that retired judges are also involved in part-time politics, although I believe this case to be a serious aberration. 

 

In the meantime, have we heard anything from the Prime Minister expressing regret for these statements? Perhaps a promise to take some action to stop this dangerous game of provocation? None whatsoever; in fact, he defended Utusan by saying Chinese newspapers are playing the same game.

Is this the kind of Prime Minister we want? Certainly not. I have been very patient with him, as have so many Malaysians. We have always given him extra room to breathe because we thought he was surrounded by the worse ultras in UMNO. We allowed him to dabble in “double speak” because we thought it was necessary for him to maintain his equilibrium as UMNO President. But enough is enough. This man has to go. He is afraid to do the right thing for the country. His 1Malaysia is a sham. I blame him for allowing this mad, racist frenzy to pander to UMNO delegates so he can retain power at the party elections at the end of the year.

His conduct is inexcusable. If he wants to deal with a challenge from his No 2, he need not appear to be more Malay than Muhyuddin. There is no need to unleash the keris and Utusan or to get all these half-baked Malay leaders to spout hate. His mentor Dr Mahathir has given him all the ammunition he needs. UMNO is the only political party in the world where a Supreme Council decision can override any provision in its own Constitution (hard to believe but it’s true). Even the Chinese Communist party does not have this provision. So all the Prime Minister has to do is get the Supreme Council to pass a resolution prohibiting any challenge to his position. With his men intact in the Supreme Council (both elected and appointed by him), there would be no contest for the party presidency. Even if this resolution is “flawed” it could not be challenged in court. Dr Mahathir has made sure of that. With the amendment to the Federal Constitution and the Societies Act, the Court no longer has any power of judicial review of decisions made by political societies.

So why engage in this song-and-dance that can irreparably damage racial and religious harmony in the country, when all you want is another five years at the helm? UMNO delegates are easily managed if their leader has the means to address their concerns. They are not terribly difficult to deal with. Just ask Dr Mahathir. So please, spare innocent Malaysians your UMNO gamesmanship. We want a fair and just government not a government of criminals. We want peace and harmony, not hate politics.

1. Criminals in the State BN/UMNO Government of Sabah

No urgency for oil review

Published on: Friday, June 21, 2013

Email to a friend     Printer Friendly

Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman reiterated there is no urgent need to seek a review of the oil royalty.
He said the five per cent royalty was based on the agreement signed between the State Government and Petronas on June 14, 1976 and as explained by Balung Assemblyman Datuk Syed Abas Syed Ali on Wednesday, 10 per cent of the oil revenue from Sabah is shared by Sabah and the Federal Government.
The remaining 90 per cent was used by Petronas and its partners to pay for the high exploration and production costs, he said, responding to the issue raised by several assemblymen when debating the motion of thanks on the State Government's Policy Speech delivered by the Head of State.
Musa, who is also State Finance Minister, said although the royalty was set at five per cent the State Government had been enjoying increases in payment from RM365.4 million in 2007 to RM941.25 million in 2012 based on the production of 28,156,504 barrels and 49,737,978 barrels in 2007 and 2012, respectively.
Winding up for the Finance Ministry on Thursday, he also reiterated that Petronas had invested in Sabah through the development of the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT) that is supported by a 300 MW Combined-Cycled Gas Power Plant in Kimanis to meet the State's power supply demand.
Besides, through the cooperation and assistance from the Federal Government and Petronas, the State Government was also in the midst of developing the oil and gas industry known as the Sipitang Oil and Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP).
Other projects by Petronas in Sabah were the Sabah Ammonia Urea (SAMUR) project that involved a RM2 billion investments and SAMUR 2 costing another RM2.6 billion in investment.
Responding to the proposal by Bingkor Assemblyman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan for the State Government to demand 40 per cent or two-fifth of the Federal Government's revenue from tax collected in Sabah by referring to the provision of Special Grant in Schedule 10 of the Federal Constitution, Musa said it was out of place.
The method of the Special Grant, he said, had already been updated as allowed under Article 112 D of the Federal Constitution. He also assured that discussion on the matter was also being held from time to time with the Federal Government.
Based on the Accountant General Department (Sabah) last year the Federal Government collected about RM4.43 billion and about 69.6 per cent or RM3.085 billion was collected by the Finance Ministry, particularly the Inland Revenue Board while about 18.5 per cent or RM818.5 million was income collected by the Customs Department.
The amount collected by the Federal Government from Sabah last year was also 18 per cent or RM683.33 million more than the amount collected in 2011, he said. "I have great pleasure to inform the august House that the Federal Government is spending more in terms of development allocation for Sabah than the revenue it is earning from the state," he said.
He said the Federal Government's spending in Sabah in 2012 was about RM9.08 billion, which was an increase of 11 per cent or RM926.49 million from 2011.
"So with the cordial relationship between the Federal and State governments we are confident that bigger allocation is being provided by the Federal Government to fund Sabah's development," he said.
Speaking to reporters after the adjournment of the State Assembly later, Musa expressed satisfaction with the commitment shown by the House members, especially BN backbenchers, in raising issues vital for the State's development.
"Overall, the House members have taken part actively in the question and answer session as well as debate by raising issues and interest of their respective constituents," he said.
Unfortunately, he noted the opposition assemblymen on the other hand were inclined to mislead the House by "twisting facts and exploiting issues for their narrow political interests."
"In fact, it is as though they do not understand or pretend not to be aware about the various efforts and successes of the BN government in struggling for the people and bringing development to all the areas in Sabah, including those won by them (opposition)," he said.
Towards this end, Musa said as far as the BN government is concerned it would proceed with its plans, especially to fulfil all the promises made in the Aku Janji election manifesto.
"What is more important, we need to continue to go down the ground, provide the best services to the people in our respective constituencies," he said. Speaker Datuk Salleh Tun Said adjourned the Assembly sine die at 6.03pm.
