May 20, 2010 Kota Kinabalu: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Youth chief, Chin Shu Ying, said whether Sabah and Sarawak will remain the "fixed deposit" of Barisan Nasional is not for him, ex-Chief Minister Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak or ex-Deputy CM Datuk Tham Nyip Shen to decide.
"It is the people who will have the final say in the next general election.
My only advice is for both of them to go down more often to the ground to listen to the voices of the people," he said in a statement, Wednesday.
He said there remains "many longstanding issues and problems in Sabah, which the State leadership has failed to solve until today".
"The illegal immigrants, shortage of electricity, hardcore poor problem, problematic and uncompleted railway track, uncompleted airport runway and flyover, corruption, lack of medical facilities, just to name a few.
"As such, it is our duty to voice out and bring to the attention of the leadership these issues and problems rather than sweeping everything under the carpet," he said.
Chin also claimed that LDP was not fighting against its BN partners but only against a few leaders in the coalition who go against the Prime Minister's concept of "People First, Performance Now" being fully adopted and implemented.
Chin was commenting on the statements by Salleh, who is also Sabah Umno deputy chief and Tham. Salleh is now the State Science Advisor, a post formerly held by Tham.
According to Chin, it was rather strange to see Tham, who claimed to be no longer with BN, to be campaigning in the Sibu by-election recently.
Chin also said instead of making all sort of accusations against a former leader, Tham should look into the mirror, especially on his accomplishments after being a senior leader for so many years.
"Although coming out from SESB, he can't even solve the problem of electricity shortage in Sandakan when he was Deputy Chief Minister and later State Science Adviser," he said.
True...the decision is in the voters hand...its seems that saying Sabah will always be a fixed deposit to BN is a little bit over confident...they should always strive harder to serve the rakyat more, not by releasing this kind of statement...
BalasPadamjust do as Chin said..go down more often to the ground to listen to the voices of the people and overcome all longstanding issues and problems in Sabah.
BalasPadamThe final vote is up to the people. Don't underestimate us.
BalasPadami agree...it is the voters decision...BN should aware this...solve the longstanding issues and problems facing by sabahans then the percentage to win next GE will increase...if not, people will turn their back on you!
BalasPadamWhen the leaders turun padang, I hope they really listen to the people's voices, not just put on a show. A good leader should have sincerity in the people's plight.
BalasPadamJangan lupa ka c masuk "rakyat sabah juga perlu ambil perhatian dan peranan penting!!!! pasal itu illegal immigrant jangan ka c sewa rumah sama dorg, pasal poverty, ramai yang miskin bukan orang kita, pasal elektrik orang kita cakap itu coal plant kutur dan bahaya, corruption tidak akan selesai selagi kita bergelar manusia....tapi hanya boleh diminize...100% bersih xakan pernah berlaku..."
BalasPadamLDP made this critics for better govt, better service, better performance... no need to deny what is a reality...the Opposition sure will use any issues which already became a burden and a dilemma as their manifesto this coming GE...rakyat sabah is already fed up with all the sweet promises...
BalasPadamdon't waste time.. accept the reality and stop the 'berbalas2 pantun'.. people just need the improvement.
BalasPadamAkhirnya, rakyat yang menentukan siapa yang menang.
BalasPadamjust wait and see this coming general election...rakyat sabah will give their answer and the truth will be reveal...
BalasPadamSiapa yang bagus, rakyat pasti tahu.
BalasPadamTrue. The people have the power to bring down a Government too..
BalasPadamThe Mps needs to turun padang very often. Listen to the problems faced by the People. This is to show that they support 1Malaysia concept but if they don't, then 13th GE is just around the corner..
BalasPadamPM need time to think what he really need to do next. People first, performance now. We'll see in the final election.
BalasPadamHope people will vote for the right party...
BalasPadamthings getting more interesting...will BN still be the govt after the next general election? just wait and see...the choice is in the people hands...
BalasPadambiarlah orang yang betul-betul melaksanakan tanggungjawab dan tidak suka mencari publisiti murah diberi kepercayaan untuk menerajui tampuk pemerintahan pada kali ini. cuma rakyat sekarang semakin bijak dan tahu nilai mana intan mana kaca!
BalasPadamrakyat sebenarnya sentiasa buka mata dan pasang telinga tentang apa yang berlaku di sabah. jentera-jentera bn diharap segera bertindak dan laksanakan tanggung jawab anda dan tunai janji-janji manis masa pilihanraya lalu.
BalasPadamisu fixed deposit ni sengaja diuar2kan oleh pihak yang ingin meraih simpati murah. penggunaan fixed deposit ini sebenarnya memalukan rakyat sabah kerana memilih BN sebagai kerajaan. rakyat yang pilih BN dan sepatutnya janganlah menghina rakyat sabah kerana memilih BN dan kerap menggunakan perkatan fixed deposit! seolah2 rakyat sabah tiada pendirian dan tidak tahu membezakan mana betul mana salah
BalasPadamrakyat sabah berhak pilih dan pilihan rakyat sabah selalu tepat!
BalasPadamSometimes I find that these politicians a lame and pathetic..
BalasPadamNow, this is too much. The people have the rights to voice out for the Govt to take look and find solutions to their problems. Not stopping them and bar them to have a freedom of speech..
BalasPadamPoliticians should have some common sense while making statements, what they say can be used against them.
BalasPadamUndi ditangan rakyat. Kemenangan pasti berpihak kepada kebenaran.
BalasPadamA good leader will voice out our problems on behalf of the people. Not blaming the people in return.
BalasPadam
