We are ready to discuss seats — Jeffrey
KOTA KINABALU April 26, 2012: The United Borneo Alliance (UBA) is ready to talk to Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and local opposition parties to achieve proper seat allocations for the opposition parties is Sabah, said UBA chairman Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.
“Let me make it clear again that we are for the one-to-one fight formula and that the opposition parties should definitely work together,” he said in a statement here.
“But the co-operation must be based on the understanding that we have to work on two different but connected levels,” he said.
Jeffrey was responding to PKR president Datuk Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s call for co-operation with STAR, and to DAP Labuan’s accusation that STAR’s Plan Z means he (Jeffrey) is helping BN to win.
During the launching of STAR’s three divisions (Penampang, Putatan and Kota Kinabalu) at the KDCA’s Cultural Village in Penampang last Saturday, Jeffrey said that if STAR is not given sufficient participation in seat allocation discussions among the opposition parties, or if such discussions fail, STAR may have to go for ‘Plan Z’ or the step of the last resort, which would be to contest all seats on its own.
“We need to throw all our combined weights to topple the BN federal and state governments,” he said.
“But this can best be done with the PR playing a minor role in the Sabah election, while the bigger role must be given to local parties.
“Explaining what he meant by co-operating on two levels, he said the PR must give the state seats to the UBA while it will concentrate on parliamentary seats.
“In fact, the ideal arrangement would be for the PR not to contest even the parliamentary seats, and the PR party members would be supporting the local parties contesting,” he said.
“This is the best way to win the election, and the people of Sabah are in fact now very excited about this strategy which has never been used before.”

But Star said they will contest 60 seats and 25 parliament seats alone. How can there be a one to one fight if Star already wanted to take over all the seats by themselves?
BalasPadamIni menunjukkan bahawa Star tidak akan bekerjasama dengan parti pembangkang yang lain.
PadamSTAR hanya mengejar kepentingan sendiri. mana mungkin mereka sanggup untuk bertolak ansur dan bekerjasama.
PadamWe'll just wait and see how the opposition parties planned to cooperate on the next GE.
BalasPadamDo SAPP really want to work with STAR?
BalasPadamSaya rasa kedua-dua parti ini tidak akan bekerjasama, kita boleh melihat sampai sekarang mereka masih bertengkar antara satu sama lain.
PadamSetakat ni SAPP dan PKR saja yang nampak benar2 mahu wujudkan kerjasama.
PadamI'm not sure if this thing works out.
BalasPadamPembahagian kuasa akan berubah.
BalasPadamSTAR and UBF? Hurm..
BalasPadamApapun susah bagi kita untuk mengetahui sebab ni hal hanya mereka saja yang tahu.
BalasPadamBukan senang mempertandingkan kesemuaan kerusi di Sabah, setiap satu kerusi yang ditanding perlukan bayaran deposit sebanyak RM5,000 ke RM10,000.
BalasPadamJualan album Star pasti ada banyak laku boleh la guna tu duit untuk PRU13.
Padamtunggu dan lihat saja apakah mereka akan bekerjasama atau tidak.
PadamSusunlah baik calon untuk kerusi2 yang akan dipertandingkan, susun baik2 kalau tidak kalah pula
BalasPadamsetiap parti tidak kira BN, star atau PR pasti mahu turunkan calon terbaik mereka.
Padamnak jalankan formula 1 lwn 1, tapi Star nak bertanding 60 dan 26 kerusi. bagaimana formula ini nak berjalan?
BalasPadamformula 1 lawan 1 ni masih belum ada kesepakatan antara mereka pun.
PadamPilihan raya akan datang, siapa yang akan menjadi pilihan anda.
BalasPadampastikan anda memilih dengan baik.
BalasPadamJika sudah memilih, tidak akan ada peluang lagi untuk memilih, jadi pilihlah dengan bijak.
BalasPadambiar rakyat tentukan pilihan mereka sendiri.
PadamBut to dismay not all the opposition parties are willing to cooperate!
BalasPadammahu bekerjasama tapi setakat ini masih tiada perkembangan pun.
BalasPadamI hope they work together for the betterment of the state and nation at large.
BalasPadamPlans needed should be implemented now.
BalasPadamChange with take place this coming election.
BalasPadamThe people need the best candidate to lead them to the promise land.
BalasPadamI hope something will be done for a change this time.
BalasPadamSTAR semestinya akan bertanding disemua kerusi yang ada di Sabah. Maka ini tidak akan memberikan peluang kepada PR dan SAPP untuk bertanding 1 lawan 1. Yang pasti STAR akan perjuangan mereka sendiri.
BalasPadamjika JK sanggup atau sudi bekerjasama dengan PKR atau SAPP, beliau tidak akan membawa masuk STAR ke Sabah..
PadamJeffrey mana mahu kepentingan dia terjejas.. misi utama dia ialah untuk mendapatkan jawatan KM Sabah..
