PAIRIN IN THE RUNNING FOR DPM2?

Pairin in the running for DPM2?

Luke Rintod

Many believe that it would be a strategic move to kill off Pakatan Rakyat's inroads in Borneo if the PM appoints a deputy from Sabah.

KOTA KINABALU May 10, 2013: When former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad declared earlier this week that Sabah and Sarawak should be given bigger representation at federal level, he must already have known that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak was weighing the idea.

Najib, according to Sabah ruling politicians, could well be considering appointing a deputy prime minister to represent the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak.

Rumours have fired up the grapevine here that Sarawak and Sabah leaders Taib Mahmud and Musa Aman had concurred with the idea and had left Najib to decide which of the two it would be.

The insiders claimed the reason was to deny rival coalition Pakatan Rakyat the opportunity of enticing BN’s 22 MPs from Sabah and another 25 from Sarawak to crossover.

Much talk has been going on in the backrooms of these states and both Taib and Musa want this settled quickly.

Pakatan, for the record, had pledged to appoint three DPMs to accommodate the Chinese and the East Malaysian communities, if it came to power.

The inner circles in Umno argued that Najib now had an opportune chance to steal the idea from opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim and clamping any possibilities of defections in Sabah and Sarawak from BN.

They also see it as a strategic move towards consolidating support for BN in these two states which have seen massive inroads by the opposition. Sabah lost 15 state seats in last Sunday’s polls. Sarawak had lost a similar number in its state polls in 2011.

Pairin in the running

Meanwhile Sabah and Sarawak leaders seem unaware that nominees have been forwarded to Najib, especially from Sabah.

Within Sabah Umno, there are at least three names being tossed about for the DPM post.

The three leaders are Umno vice-president Shafie Apdal, former foreign minister Anifah Aman and seasoned politician Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

Many observers here also believe that if Pairin is to be appointed, the credit will go to ex-premier Mahathir, who at his advanced age now, might be seeking some form of forgiveness for what he had done to Pairin years ago.

They claimed this could be the best parting gesture for both the ageing leaders.

So the pressure is mounting on Najib.

He is seen as needing to do something to defeat Anwar, who is already being touted in Sabah and Sarawak as a new hope for East Malaysia.

Najib nevertheless has other means to please those crucial numbers from Sabah. The two states may get more of their own be appointed to the federal cabinet.

But the question is will Najib remain PM for a longer period or stumble half-way in the curent cut-throat politics ripping through Peninsular Malaysia.

According to political analysts here, the creation of additional DPM posts is an administrative process not requiring any amendments to the Federal Constitution.

Some argued that even the current DPM post was not in the constitution.

Meanwhile Sarawak too is believed to have already shortlisted its DPM candidates for Najib’s consideration. The candidates are believed to be Dayak and Melanau leaders.

Observers claimed Najib’s advisers had pushed for the idea to negate Anwar’s offer of three DPMs to Borneo Mps at least until the next general election.

Many believe with the imminent threat of crossovers, the next election may be called sooner than later.

“What has Najib got to lose if he appoints three or even four deputy prime ministers now?

“In fact BN would be strengthened and immediately brush aside Pakatan’s offer for a three DPMs which it could not implement if it is in the opposition,” said an ardent local analyst who only wished to be known as Jimmy.

Come what may, Najib must decide soon. For now, unblinking Anwar is nervously awaiting for his nemesis’ next move.

SABAH AND SARAWAK KNOW THEY ARE NOW THE KINGMAKERS

In the aftermath of May 5th (part 3)

What Najib did not suspect was that some other Barisan Nasional leaders from Sabah and Sarawak wanted to follow Lajim Ukin and Wilfred Bumburing when they crossed over. However, Anwar told them to stay put in Barisan Nasional and contest the general election under the ruling party banner and then cross over after the general election.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

09 May 2013: You may love Anwar Ibrahim or you may hate him. But one thing you must not do is to underestimate him. That would be a big mistake if you were a ‘struggling’ Prime Minister like Najib Tun Razak.

Anwar knew that if Najib could not do better than Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in the March 2008 general election then Najib would be in deep shit. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would cut off his balls and nail it to the wall. (And Dr Mahathir is sharpening his knife even as you read this).

So that was Anwar’s first aim. Even if you cannot take over the government just make sure that Najib does not get more than 140 parliamentary seats. And Najib did not do better than what Pak Lah did in March 2008. In fact, he did worse -- he won seven parliamentary seats less than in 2008.

So now Najib is facing so much internal problems with Dr Mahathir breathing down his neck he no longer has any time or energy to worry about Anwar or about what Anwar is up to.

And that works fine for Anwar as far as he is concerned. He can now distract Najib even further with his road shows that started last night in Kelana Jaya -- which means Najib now has two major battles to fight.

Do you think Anwar can walk in to Putrajaya by organising rallies and road shows? Do you think the Election Commission will call for fresh elections just because Anwar says they must?

If you believe that then you are sillier than I first thought. The Election Commission has just told Anwar to go screw himself. But that is not a problem because that is not Anwar’s real game plan. His real game plan is to ‘steal’ the government through crossovers -- just like Barisan Nasional ‘stole’ it through election fraud.

What Najib did not suspect was that some other Barisan Nasional leaders from Sabah and Sarawak wanted to follow Lajim Ukin and Wilfred Bumburing when they crossed over. However, Anwar told them to stay put in Barisan Nasional and contest the general election under the ruling party banner and then cross over after the general election.

Many may have been puzzled as to why Pakatan Rakyat created such a mess in Sabah and Sarawak. Even a political novice knows that you need Sabah and Sarawak to march in to Putrajaya since these two East Malaysian states control 25% of the seats in parliament.

Sabah and Sarawak will always control 25% of the seats even if they have only 10% of the nation’s population. That is what was decided in the Malaysian Agreement. (Hence the one-man-one-vote system cannot work in Malaysia because then Sabah and Sarawak can never have 25% of the seats in parliament).

Anyway, Anwar is not as stupid as you may think. It may appear like he messed up in Sabah and Sarawak. Actually he was not interested to win Sabah and Sarawak through the ballot box because he knew that would be very difficult to do and you would be wasting a lot of time and money while achieving very little.

Hence he just made a token effort in Sabah and Sarawak and did not worry too much about how many seats he would win. After all, he was not going to win that many anyway, other than the ones that DAP won in the predominantly Chinese constituencies.

Of course he wanted Sabah and Sarawak. But he wanted them not through the elections. He wanted them after the elections once he knows how many seats he can win in West Malaysia and how more seats he needs to be able to form the federal government.

So now, while the entire nation is focusing on the rallies that are going to be organised all over the country, Anwar is secretly negotiating with the Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament from Sabah and Sarawak.

Pakatan Rakyat needs at least 23 more parliamentary seats to form the federal government. 25 would be better. Then Pakatan Rakyat would have six more seats than Barisan Nasional.

Anwar’s ‘war room’ masterminds are Dr Rahim Ghouse, Saifuddin Nasution, Johari Abdul and Azmin Ali. These are the people hatching all the plots and planning the strategies. They were also the masterminds behind the Free Anwar Campaign, which I headed from 2000 to 2004. So I have personally worked with them since more than ten years ago and I know how they do things and what makes them tick.

So all of you who wish to scream and shout in the stadium rallies please continue to do so. I know it is great fun because we too used to do all this back in the old days. But do not expect anything great from that other than just having a good time.

Those rallies are not going to allow Anwar to walk in to Putrajaya because no new elections are going to be called. Even the Election Petitions are not going to achieve much unless you have strong evidence of fraud -- and you do not.

All the ‘evidence’ of election fraud is mere hearsay and rumours. There were no extra ballot boxes. Hell, there were no blackouts as well. So how do you win your court cases based purely on gut feel?

Sabah and Sarawak know they are now the Kingmakers. If they stay with Barisan Nasional then Anwar is screwed. If they jump then Najib is screwed. But before they make the decision whether to stay or to jump, they want to know what’s in it for them.

Can they get extra federal cabinet posts? One Deputy Prime Minister’s post maybe? Can they see an increase in oil royalty from 5% to 20%? Can they get more autonomy like what the 18- and 20-Point Agreements promised them?

So the horse-trading is now going on. Anwar is making his offers and Najib will have to counter-offer something better. So we may yet see Anwar become the new Prime Minister if Najib cannot better Anwar’s offer and the Members of Parliament from Sabah and Sarawak cross over.

In the meantime, while all this is going on, Najib has Dr Mahathir to worry about while Anwar has to try to pacify Azmin to make sure he does not jump if he is not made the Menteri Besar of Selangor. If not then Anwar might as well abandon the negotiations because the crossovers from Sabah and Sarawak will be neutralised by Azmin and gang once they declare themselves ‘independents’.

Sigh….and you want me to enter politics? You must be crazy! Why would I want to suffer all this aggravation and anxiety?

SABAH AND SARAWAK MUST PUSH NAJIB FOR MORE

Dayaks push Najib for more

FMT Staff

Speculations are rife that chief ministers of both Sarawak and Sabah are lobbying for a bigger representation in the federal cabinet.

KUCHING May 9, 2013: Sarawak’s predominantly Dayak community delivered to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak 25 parliamentary seats in the tumultuous general election on May 5 and the general consensus here is that its loyalty and contribution must be acknowledged by the top leadership, not just in words but in full-fledged ministerial posts.

Sarawak has 31 and Sabah 25 parliamentary seats. Both states collectively delivered 48 seats to Barisan Nasional’s 133 tally which aided their contentious retention of the federal government.

Speculations were rife, as early as Monday, that Chief Minister Taib Mahmud and Sabah’s Musa Aman were ‘fiercely’ lobbying for Najib to meet Borneo’s desire for a Deputy Prime Minister’s post and for more federal ministers posts to be given to Borneo’s Dayak community (which includes KadazanDusunMuruts).

Yesterday, even as Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) chief William Mawan was rumoured poised for a federal position along with four-term Bintulu MP Tiong King Sing, another local party, Sarawak United Peoples Party (SUPP) had put in its call for its sole surviving MP Richard Riot to be made a full minister.

SPDP retained all its four parliamentary seats and is expecting to be justly rewarded with more positions in the federal level. The party’s candidates in Baram – Anyi Ngau – and Mas Gading – Anthony Nogeh – had defied the odds to win their seats.

In the last federal cabinet, SPDP had two deputy ministers – Jelaing Mersat (Transport Ministry) and Jacob Dungau Sagan (International Trade and Industry Ministry).

Also on the same escalator with its demands is James Masing, president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS). PRS also retained all its five seats.

SUPP, which was allotted seven seats however lost six – Stampin, Bandar Kuching, Sarikei, Sibu, Lanang – to DAP, and Miri to PKR. It retained Serian through Riot.

Apparently Riot’s victory was due to the strong support given by the Bidayuh voters who form 83.2% of a 33,764 strong electorate, while Chinese form about 9.4%.

In the 2011 state polls, SUPP, a Chinese majority party, did just as badly. DAP won 15 seats, mostly held by SUPP, while PKR wrested three.

Riot for ‘full minister’

Yesterday SUPP’s Central Working Committee (CWC) held an emergency meeting and strongly recommended that Riot, a Dayak-Bidayuh, be made a full minister.

In the last parliament, SUPP had one minister (Peter Chin, Energy, Green Technology and Water) and two deputy ministers – Riot ( Foreign Affairs), and Yong Khoon Seng(Works).

All in all, SUPP had five MPs in the last parliament.

Riot, a six term MP, when contacted, said: “I leave it to the Prime Minister.”

He however did add that the responsibilities that came with a ministerial-post would be “heavier” on him because he would also now be a “sole voice” in parliament in voicing the Chinese community’s need as well as that of his Bidayuh community.

It is speculated that Riot, aged 62, would likely takeover the Energy, Green Technology and Water ministry left vacant by SUPP president Peter Chin or the Plantation Industries and Commodities ministry portfolio.

Chin who was Miri incumbent did not defend his seat and instead nominated his political secretary Sebastian Ting. Ting lost to PKR’s Dr Michael Teo by a 1,992 vote majority.

Meanwhile Dompok, who was former minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, lost his Penampang parliamentary seat to PKR’s Darrel Leiking by over 10,000 vote majority.

In Sandakan, another minister, VK Liew, lost his seat by 1,088 majority to his DAP opponent Wong Tien Fatt.

“DI ZAMAN SAYA SAYA BAGI …”– MAHATHIR

 

 

“THOUSANDS OF MALAYS HAVE DESERTED UMNO AND THAT THIS WAS VERY TELLING.”– SIMON

Umno-BN has lost ‘common sense’

Raymond Tombung

According to former Sabah state secretary Simon Sipaun, if 'thousands of Malays have deserted Umno' in the peninsular, why not the KDMs quit BN, which has failed the state.

PENAMPANG April 27, 2013: In a rare clash of political confrontation between senior-level dignitaries in social media, Facebook, the wife of Upko president Bernard Dompok yesterday asked former Suhakam commissioner Simon Sipaun why he was “bent on bringing down Upko” and Dompok who was a friend.

Dompok’s wife Diana had posted a message on former state secretary Sipaun’s FB page. The message read: “Dear Tan Sri Simon Sipaun. I held you in the highest of regards. What I don’t understand is WHY ARE YOU SO BENT ON BRINGING UPKO DOWN?”

Diana apparently was irked by Sipaun’s participation in Penampang PKR candidate Darrel Leiking’s campaign which hit out at Dompok. Dompok is the Penampang parliamentary seat incumbent.

In a polite but firm reply to Diana, Sipaun who is also the chairman of Desah (Democracy Sabah) an NGO working to achieve a one-to-one fights between BN and the opposition in all constituencies in Sabah, said the former had ‘misconstrued’ his position.

“Dear (Puan Sri) Diana, I think you have misconstrued my position. I am not a politician. At no time did I ever have the intention of bringing down any political party. Even if I wanted to I will not be able to do it.

“… Sabah has known only one federal government for the last 50 years. It may be called BN but it is basically Umno calling the shots.

He said that thousands of Malays have deserted Umno and that this was very telling.

“A Malay taxi driver told me ‘Ini Umno tahu jaga kuncu-kuncu sahaja’ (this Umno only knows how to look after cronies). After 50 years what have we got in Sabah?

“There is a litany of them. But let me name a few.

“Sabah is inundated with illegals to the extent that the KDM used to be 43% of the state population 50 years ago now that figure is hardly 15%. The KDM is at the risk disappearing altogether from the face of the earth,” he said.

He added that the World Bank and UNDP data showed that Sabah was the poorest state in the country in terms of per capita income yet rich in natural resources.

“Employment opportunities are so limited that thousands of our youths had to leave for other places to find a living,” he said.

What happen to common sense?

He added that gas was found in Sabah yet it had to be transported through a gas pipe line 512 km long and costing in the billions of ringgit.

Common sense and conventional business wisdom dictate that the processing plant should be located as near as possible to the source of raw material, he added.

“I have seen houses of poor villagers which had been burnt by enforcement personnel. They lost their padi, gongs, documents, etc.

“What sort of uncaring government is this? Corruption is rampant and getting worse. Many rural people have no access to health, medical and educational facilities,” he said.

He added that Singapore which was kicked out in 1965 should be thankful that it was ejected from Malaysia and noted that Brunei was wise for opting out.

“BN which has never known what it is like to be out of power will do everything and anything to remain in power.

“I can go on and on but time does not permit. In short, small parties supporting BN are contributing to the continuing sufferings of Malaysians,” he wrote.

Meanwhile State Reform Party’s deputy chairman, Daniel John Jambun, said, “Had Sipaun been more firm, he could have asked Diana why Dompok is so bent on bringing his own people down by associating himself and Upko with Umno.”

CANDIDATE VS PARTY: HOW TO CHOOSE?

Candidate vs party: How to choose?

Khairie Hisyam Aliman

APRIL 21 — I remember a time in my early teens when I sat near a group of adults discussing the pros and cons of BN and the opposition at a local kenduri.

Eventually one of them turned to me and asked which party I would support. “Depends on who the candidate is, I suppose — if he is a good person or not,” I said. They laughed and did not take my comments seriously. One even joked that “he meant it depends on who pays more.”

I felt slighted, of course, but I said nothing and walked away. To me, individual merits should have as much importance as which political ideology the candidate subscribes to.

In light of the confirmation that DAP’s candidates can contest GE13 with the party's rocket symbol, we are now left to wonder how people would have voted if DAP’s candidates had been forced to contest under the logos of PAS and PKR respectively.

It would have presented interesting questions that should be considered even if the RoS–DAP episode never occurred. Would you vote based on which party the candidate represents or the individual merits of the candidate themselves? Which factor do you give more weight to?

Some, like former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, urged voters to cross BN’s logo regardless of who is contesting. "We should come out in full force to vote for BN, don't care who the candidates are, don't look at their faces, and just cross the balance scale. The voters should remember that it is the party that forms the government, not the candidates,” Tun Dr Mahathir was quoted as saying.

But then again, the party that forms the government comprises the candidates. These are the people who will be considering each Bill and proposed policy change which in turn will affect our lives and our country’s progress.

They will be debating and arguing in Parliament on our behalf. Their personal leanings, what issues they feel strongly about (and don’t) would affect what things they would fight for and against the hardest, and vice versa — would your representative reflect what you actually want?

So what sort of people we want to represent us in Parliament should matter as much as which party they belong to. Indeed, many grassroots leaders from both sides of the political divide appear to be well meaning, honest folks who genuinely care for the local community.

We like them because they help us with our grievances, issues, problems, and they are also accessible. The only obvious difference between them is which political party they belong to.

But as pointed out by a friend: “That in itself is a big difference ... what policies they support and champion.”

A valid point — what policies and which leaders the local leaders in turn support also reflects on them as representatives. Then again, if we put an absolute standard on policies, the candidates themselves would be redundant in voters’ considerations.

Then why bother choosing and deciding who gets to contest which seats then? Why would some people decide to contest independently when not selected by their parties to contest?

If you like a party’s policies but dislike some of the candidates they chose to represent them — as in the case of MIC members and a certain BN candidate — then there is a conflict. If you like a candidate as a person but have reservations about his party’s policies and leaders, there is a conflict. So how?

It’s a complex consideration that I feel can never yield an absolute right or wrong no matter how many pixellated words we devote to discussing it. So let me end with a friend’s own words which I feel is a fair summary of voting considerations:

“I for one am hoping for individual talent and calibre. It makes a big difference when fighting for/against policies in Parliament. I want decency and maturity from government and opposition MPs alike. Too much to ask ah?”

INI KALILAH OR LAIN KALILAH, AS MULTIPLE FIGHTS TEEM IN SABAH

Ini Kalilah or Lain Kalilah, as multiple fights teem in Sabah

Aidila Razak

Apr 20, 2013: At the Kota Kinabalu nomination centre this morning, there was one battlecry which resonated with most of those present.

Whether carrying PKR, DAP, Star or SAPP flags, most party supporters cried out “Ini Kalilah!” All of them think that a regime change in Sabah is in the air.

But as the Election Commission slowly announces the official candidates list for the polls, the question asked in the coffee shops of Kota Kinabalu is this - “Ini Kalilah atau Lain Kalilah?” (This Is The Time, or Maybe Next Time?)

As expected, discord among the four opposition quarters has forced multi-cornered fights in most of the seats in Sabah, including parliamentary ones crucial for a change of government at federal level.

There are only two straight fights in Sabah this time around - Sandakan: VK Liew (BN) vs Stephen Wong (DAP); and Tanjong Batu: Hamisa Samat (BN) vs Fatmawaty Mohd Yusuf (PAS).

Kalabakan, the parliamentary seat where Tanjong Batu is located, sees a seven-cornered fight with incumbent Abdul Ghapur Salleh, who was returned unopposed in 2008, facing PAS, SAPP and three Independent candidates.

Setting the record this year is Sulabayan, a state constituency in the parliamentary constituency of Semporna where a grand total of seven candidates are standing.

Defending the seat for BN is Jaujan Sambakong, once aide to incumbent Semporna MP Mohd Shafie Afdal.

He is up against PKR’s Hermeny Murgal, MUPP’s Hasaman Safaran and a whopping three Independent candidates.

Friction within Semporna Umno - evident by a demonstration by a couple of hundred Umno members in Bugaya this week - had initially given hope for opposition inroads.

But a fractious race is more likely to split the opposition vote in favour of Jaujan and Shafie.

The same story could be told about Kota Belud, where locals claim to be less than happy with incumbent candidate Abdul Rahman Dahlan (left).

Abdul Rahman, who is Umno Sabah secretary, won by a slim majority of about seven percent of votes in 2008 in a straight fight against PKR.

However, he is likely to retain his seat as those who may want to vote against him will have four other candidates to choose from.

They are PKR youngster Issnaraissah Munirah Majilid, Star’s Jalumin Bugayoh and an Independent candidate.

Six candidates in Ranau

Unhappiness within Tuaran PKR has also forced a four-cornered fight in Tuaran.

One of the aspirants there is sidelined PKR Tuaran chief Ansari Abdullah’s (right) daughter Erveana, an up and coming youth leader in the party there.

Neither father or daughter made it to PKR’s candidates list, which included newcomers from new Pakatan Rakyat ally PPPS and APS.

APS chief Wilfred Bumburing, who defected from Upko, will stand in Tuaran, against BN’s Wilfred Madius Tangau.

Bumburing is already treading on thin ice, having rubbed locals the wrong way after defecting from PBS to Upko to now become Pakatan-friendly.

“Umno members are obviously not happy with him, and neither are PKR members. So who’s left to vote for him?” a PKR source asked.

A multi-cornered fight does not deliver him extra favours.

In Ranau, state constituency Kundasang will be the battleground for six people from Star, PKR, SAPP, BN and two Independents.

It is unclear if the Independent candidates are unhappy members of PKR, but sources claim that PKR’s Ranau candidate Jonathan Yasin is unlikely to get much help from those greenhorns contesting for the party in state seats under Ranau.

In 2008, the opposition received more votes compared to the BN in eight seats but lost the seats to BN through multi-cornered fights.

Most of these seats were then contested by only two opposition candidates.

With a total of 32 seats now being vied for by all four opposition groups, perhaps a BN banner seen on Jalan Tun Fuad Stephen says it all: “Anda berada di wilayah BN” (You are now in BN territory).

MULTI-CORNERED FIGHTS IN SABAH BOON TO BN, SAY ANALYSTS

Multi-cornered fights in Sabah boon to BN, say analysts

BY BOO SU-LYN

KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 – Multi-cornered contests throughout Sabah in Election 2013 will benefit the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) in areas with a weak opposition, analysts said today.

They, however, stressed that multi-cornered fights for the May 5 general elections would not dent the opposition’s chances of victory in federal seats like Keningau or Beaufort, where voters choose based on personalities, rather than political parties.

“Multi-cornered contests will reduce the opposition’s chances of winning a max number of seats,” Sabah-based political analyst Dr Arnold Puyok told The Malaysian Insider today.

“In areas where the opposition is not strong, multi-cornered contests may benefit BN greatly, but in areas where personality factor counts more than party factor, multi-cornered contests don’t affect the opposition’s chances that much,” he added.

Puyok predicted that the opposition would win between five and six federal seats in the Borneo state – Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Beaufort, Pensiangan and Ranau – compared to the one seat in Election 2008, where the DAP won Kota Kinabalu.

The political analyst said that the pro-opposition sentiment among the Chinese was running high in Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan, while PKR candidates Richard Sakian Gunting and Jonathan Yasin (pic left) were popular in Pensiangan and Ranau respectively.

Multi-cornered fights have sprung up in Sabah between BN, opposition parties from Pakatan Rakyat (PR), local opposition parties SAPP and STAR, and numerous independent candidates on Nomination Day today.

The Keningau constituency will see the second battle between heavyweights incumbent PBS’ Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan and Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, who is his brother and the Sabah STAR chairman. PKR’s Stephen Sandor has also thrown his hat into the ring, making it a three-way contest.

Puyok pointed out that Jeffrey could win the battle for the interior seat of Keningau this time, noting that he was in a wheelchair during his first contest against Pairin in Election 2008, where he lost by 4,264 votes.

“Jeff’s STAR, it seems, has a more organised campaign machinery this time... Jeff looks more energetic now and has managed to thrill his supporters with STAR’s unique campaign style,” said Puyok.

STAR and SAPP are campaigning on restoring Sabah’s autonomy, while PR is urging voters to choose between it and BN in the opposition pact’s quest to win federal power in the May 5 polls.

Another three-cornered fight will take place in the Beaufort federal constituency between incumbent Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin, who defected from Umno to form the PKR-friendly PPS, STAR’s Guan Dee Koh Hoi and Umno’s Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun.

Political scientist Professor Jayum Jawan, who is from Sarawak, noted that Lajim enjoyed strong support.

“He is the so-called leader of the Bisaya people. That’s a very tough seat. BN will have to work double hard to win,” Jayum told The Malaysian Insider.

Lajim won Beaufort in Election 2008 with an overwhelming 10,914-vote majority.

Jayum similarly said that multi-cornered fights between opposition parties would give BN an edge, but said that independents would not create much impact, due to a lack of grassroots support.

The political scientist from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) expected the opposition to win six to seven federal seats in Sabah – including urban areas like Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan and Tawau – down from half of the 25 parliamentary seats in his original forecast a few months ago.

“But I think because of multi-cornered fights, that might reduce the number of federal seats,” said Jayum.

Kota Kinabalu will see a three-cornered contest between Sabah DAP chief Jimmy Wong, PBS’ Chin Tek Ming and STAR’s Liew Hock Leong.

Sandakan, however, will see a straight fight between incumbent Datuk V.K. Liew from the LDP and DAP’s Wong Tien Fatt.

A four-cornered contest will take place in Tawau, where incumbent Datuk Dr Chua Soon Bui from SAPP will defend her seat against Datuk Mary Yap from PBS, PKR’s Datuk Kong Hong Ming and independent Ahmad Awang.

Political scientist Dr Faisal S. Hazis similarly said that incumbent Datuk Wilfred Bumburing, who defected from UPKO and formed the PKR-friendly APS, was popular in the Tuaran federal seat, compared to UPKO’s Datuk Wilfred Tangau, STAR’s Jasmin Dulin and independent Erveana Ansari Ali in the four-cornered fight.

“Generally you can see based on the personalities contesting, there are two main parties contesting,” said Faisal, who is from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.

OPPOSITION PARTIES DOING BN A BIG FAVOUR

Opposition parties doing BN a big favour

by Murib Morpi

KOTA KINABALU April 19, 2013: The widely expected decisions by Pakatan Rakyat (PR), Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and State Reform Party (STAR) to contest almost all the seats in Sabah, especially state seats, has given the Sabah Barisan Nasional’s (BN) chances of repeating its virtual clean sweep in 2008 a huge boost.

With the decisions, the opposition parties are doing the BN a big favour and make winning for the ruling coalition much easier as only a handful of seats are going to see one-on-one fights, and the BN is expected to be the biggest winners in multi-cornered battles where opposition votes would be split.

STAR Sabah yesterday said that for now it will contest in 35 state and 13 parliamentary seats but will add even more candidates just before nomination day tomorrow, as it expects “turncoats” from both Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) to cross over to them.

Judging from the lists of candidates announced by PR, Star and Sabah progressive Party (SAPP), voters in the State will yet again see a free for all election similar to the previous one held in 2008.

In the last general election, the BN made a virtual clean sweep of all the 60 state and 25 parliamentary seats, losing only one parliamentary constituency and one state seat to Democratic Action Party (DAP).

With the success of the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) initiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, leaders from the BN component parties here are already confident of repeating their outstanding feat.

Out of the 48 candidates announced by STAR so far, 23 of them will be standing in areas which will also be contested by fellow state-based opposition SAPP, who have announced their own candidates for 41 state and eight parliamentary seats.

Almost all of the seats that STAR had confirmed to be contesting so far will also be challenged by the national opposition pact PR who had also released their respective list of candidates.

STAR president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said they were supposed to announce a full candidate list jointly with USNO, in conjunction with the launch of the party’s manifesto yesterday.

However, he said a decision was taken to delay the announcement after taking into consideration the fluidity of the situation and the changes taking place on the ground.

“There are still more people coming in, we have to keep this confidential at the moment, but soon you will know from which BN component parties they are,” he said, adding that the rest of the line-up will be sorted out and announced by today, once the party has taken into consideration the emerging “new development”.

Jeffrey however confirmed he will be standing in Keningau against his elder brother Tan Sri Pairin Kitingan, as well as the Bingkor state seat, which he had also contested but lost in the 2008 election under PKR’s ticket.

He also said 90 per cent of STAR candidates would be new faces from among professional individuals, who were chosen based on their outstanding qualities and commitment towards the party’s struggle.

At the event he also received membership applications from former PKR Sabah youth chief Jafery Jomion as well as several PKR members from Penampang.

Previously, STAR was reported to be contesting at least 41 state and 15 parliamentary seats, with its president confident of the party’s chances despite the anticipated multi-cornered fights.

STAR’s partner, USNO, also unveiled its own partial list, confirming candidates for eight seats, four of which will be also be contested by SAPP.

The candidates announced were for state seats of Banggi, Sekong, Tungku, Kunak, Balung and the parliamentary seats of Semporna, Tuaran and Kalabakan.

Its president, Datu Badaruddin Tun Datu Mustapha, said his party would announce three more candidates to be fielded for the Semporna seat seat as well as another candidate for the Silam parliamentary seat.

At the press conference, Badaruddin also clarified that USNO is standing on its own and not under STAR, although two of its candidates will be contesting using STAR tickets.

“We are standing on our own to prove to Umno and BN that USNO is still relevant in Sabah. The reason we are focusing on Semporna is because Umno said the area is their stronghold, and USNO in previous years had also said Semporna was its stronghold, so, we will see,” he said.
