WARGA PAKISTAN KINI DI'MELAYU'KAN UMNO?
Oleh : MUTALIB M.D
KEPUTUSAN UMNO Malaysia meluluskan Cawangan Pakistan Sabah Bersatu secara tergopoh-gopoh di Bahagian Silam pada 1991 menyebabkan parti terbesar di Malaysia itu menghadapi dilema kerana kemungkinan besar Presiden UMNO boleh diheret ke Panel RCI yang akan menyambung sidangnya pada 15 hingga 20 April 2013.
Sejak tertubuhnya cawangan Pakistan Sabah Bersatu, Pakistan sudah menjadi komuniti elit dalam UMNO kerana mereka mendapat kad pengenalan projek, menjadi pemilih berdaftar dan mendapat semua kemudahan yang dimiliki Orang Melayu dan Bumiputera Sabah kerana mereka dijenamakan sebagai Melayu atau Bumiputera.
Dr Mahathir: No directive to issue IC to unqualified migrants
PAPAR 17/03/2013: The government had never issued any directive to any quarters to issue identity cards (IC) or citizenship to unqualified immigrants in Sabah, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
As such, he said, Sabahans could not blame the government during his administration over cases of fraud committed by certain parties for self-interest.
"I am aware the issue (IC project) is getting the attention of the people. I have been told, there were those who were not qualified, having just arrived, who received IC.
"This is not our directive, not the government's directive...this is fraud on the part of the officers in the area because of other interests,"

Osu should be ashamed of himself, says Ariah
Kota Kinabalu 21/01/2013: Former PBS Deputy Chief Minister, Datuk Ariah Tengku Ahmad, 75, is glad that the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah has at least provided the platform for truth to prevail.
She said if not for the inquiry's testimonies, the reality surrounding the controversial electoral results of the Kawang Constituency in the 1994 State Election was now made known to the world.
She praised the Najib administration for heeding the wishes of Sabahans for the inquiry and said it would help regain the trust of the people. Ariah, who was Kawang Assemblywoman from 1985 to March 1994, lost to then BN-Umno candidate, Datuk Osu Sukam, by a mere 64 votes.
"Winning an election through sheer deceit is no victory but a most dishonourable and condemnable act. Shame on you, Osu.
You did not deserve to win and go on to become the Chief Minister.
