Over 500 PKR Kota Belud members quit for STAR
KOTA BELUD April 3, 2012: Resurging State Reform Party (STAR) claimed 523 members of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) from Kota Belud had or are quitting the Malaya-based party for STAR.
STAR divisional head for Kota Belud, Rubin Guribah, who was formerly a Kota Belud’s PKR deputy divisional head, said at least six PKR’s polling district committees (JDM) here also had been dissolved.
The JDMs are from Kinasaraban, Taginambur, Sayap, Kiau, Gaur and Melangkap areas, he claimed.
According to Guribah, many in the PKR division also had quit the party, losing confidence in its policy and direction.
“Among those local leaders who quit with me were Peter Dasim, Naim Angkat, Tingkun Penimbul, Laimin Linahan, Soidol Dominting, Jason Munggin Limpakan and many others,” he said.
He disclosed this at the launching of Tempasuk STAR by STAR state chairman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan at the house of a former PBS leader Suwah Buleh who had joined STAR, on Sunday.
Meanwhile, STAR state deputy chairman Daniel John Jambun, in a statement, said more are expected to join STAR not only in Kota Belud but from other districts.
In welcoming the 523 into STAR, Jambun said their bold decision indicated that local Sabahans wanted a strong voice from an independent local party.
“The people know what they are doing … this augurs well for STAR and Sabah,” he said.
Earlier in his launching speech, Dr Jeffrey called on Sabahans to rally behind the United Borneo Alliance (UBA) in order to push for its seven-point Borneo Agenda STAR mooted.
“Our support is growing and this shows that the people want change, and this is the time for change. Our membership in Sabah has reached 160,000 in a matter of less than three months from our state launching on January 6, and this is a very good development,” he said.
Also present at the well-attended function were former Kadamaian (in the 1960s known as Sorob and later Kebayau) USNO assemblyman, Ismail Gimbad, United Sabah Dusun Tindal Organisation president James Bagah, and Sabah Progressive Party supreme council leader Peter Marajin.
Ramai juga yang keluar dari parti PKR ni. Nampaknya makin ramai yang menyokong perjuangan STAR.
BalasPadamYa tapi tahu sajalah politik, nanti tiba-tiba tu keluar lagi balik p parti lain.
Padammakin teruk sudah PKR ni.
PadamStar masih panas lagi. Tengok la kalau sudah lama. Jadi macam UBF kali. Diabaikan
PadamLebih baik PKR tumpukan saja perjuangan di SM. semakin kurang penerimaan rakyat terhadap PKR.
BalasPadammungkin rakyat sedar bahawa PKR hanya mementingkan agenda tersendiri pemimpin PKR...kalau tidak masakan Jeffery keluar dari PKR...sekarang pun makin ramai yang keluar dari PKR..
PadamAgak suka membuat ramalan kalau ia melibatkan soal politik, namun saya yakin rakyat tahu apa yang terbaik utk masa depan yang cerah:)
Padamnampaknya di Sabah PKR ni semakin di tolak.
PadamAda juga khabar yang mengatakan bahawa pemimpin dan ahli-ahli PKR Beaufort dan Sepanggar keluar parti secara beramai-ramai awal bulan Mac lalu.
BalasPadamtidak mustahil juga kalau ada lagi ahli pkr yang akan keluar parti.
PadamKesian PKR semakin lumpuh di Sabah.
Padamadakah dengan perkembangan ini memungkinkan Star memenangi sabah pada pru akan datang? kerana dari perkembangan sekarang yang mana pembangkang2 di sabah belum membentuk sebarang kerjasama dan persepakatan berhubung dengan pembahagian kerusi untuk formula 1 lawan 1...dari apa yang dilihat, BN sabah masih berpeluang besar untuk menang pada pru13 nanti.
BalasPadambaik PKR gulung tikar di Sabah.. tidak payah buang masa dan membazir dana parti untuk terus bertanding di Sabah sedangkan ramai ahli2nya sudah keluar menyertai STAR..
BalasPadamperpindahan beramai2 ahli2 PKR ke STAR menunjukkan bahawa Pakatan sudah tidak releven.. malah Anwar bukan sahaja tidak ambil peduli terhadap masalah2 di Sabah, tetapi juga mengabaikan parti beliau di negeri ini.. oleh itu, eloklah mereka berundur dari negeri ini..
BalasPadammungkin PR tidak akan mendapat sokongan pada pru akan datang.
PadamWell I guess these people know what is right for them.
BalasPadamAgree, kita tunggu saja keputusan next GE nanti. Semuanya akan terjawab:)
PadamIt is the people’s decision to wait or not.
BalasPadamOthers have equally made their own choice on this.
BalasPadamNow I wonder what will become of their actions.
BalasPadamRespect the people’s decision.
BalasPadamLooks like there are more and more members moving to star.
BalasPadamThis is an early sign that PKR is going to lose in this coming election.
PadamAll the best to the opposition parties.Its best for the opposition parties to unite if they want to bring down BN/UMNO.
BalasPadamKlaau pembangkang mampu untuk bersatu tak mustahil BN/UMNO karau juga oo... Tapi tengoklah gaya pembangkang sesama sendiri pun musuh. huhu
PadamPKR Keningau Division has already been crippled, now we have continue to see more members from Kota Belud Division leaving PKR Sabah. Is this a sign that PKR is no longer relevant to Sabahans.
BalasPadamIt is no longer and it is going down, down and down.
PadamThe best thing for PKR to do is to focus on the Peninsula states and leave Sabah to local leaders and parties. Only Sabah leaders knew what Sabahans needed the most.
BalasPadamItulah, daripada asyik menyibuk di tempat orang better jaga tempat sendiri kan:P
PadamSame goes with KITA and other Peninsula parties.
Padammakin ramai ahli PKR keluar, sebelum ini di Sepanggar, Keningau dan Beaufort, dan kini di KB pula, nampaknya PKR Sabah akan makin berkubur.
BalasPadamI'm not surprised. After all the dramas, talks and so called counsellings, I guess this is what it deserved.
PadamSemakin ramai pengikut PKR telah putus asa terhadap parti itu dan beralih arah.
BalasPadamPKR is a B.S. party. Period.
PadamSatu berita yang baik untuk STAR kerana mendapat sambutan dari ahli parti pembangkang yang lain.
BalasPadamkeadaan ini memberi gambaran yang PKR sudah menjadi semakin lemah di Sabah.
BalasPadamStar di Sabah hanya bertujuan memecah belahkan parti2 pembangkang yang ada di Sabah.
