PRESS STATEMENT: “Implement Verbal Support of Sabah as Far East Hub" - DATUK DR. JEFFREY KITINGAN

PRESS STATEMENT: “Implement Verbal Support of Sabah as Far East Hub – Dr. Jeffrey”

Kota Kinabalu: “The Sabah government should put its foot in its mouth and implement the proposed Plan of the Federation of Sabah Industries (FSI) (formerly Federation of Sabah Manufacturers – FSM) and turn Sabah into the “Hub of the Far East” as giving verbal support is of no use to the Plan" said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, commenting on the report that the Sabah government supports the said Plan.

“The Plan by FSI to turn Sabah into the “Hub of the Far East” or so-called “Dubai” of the Far East is realistic, achievable and very good for the long term economic development of Sabah and welfare of Sabahans based on my briefing from FSM then” added Dr. Jeffrey.

Considering the overall benefits of the Plan, the Sabah government should quickly establish an Implementation Committee with the FSI and all stakeholders to put the Plan into action.

Sabah occupies a strategic and central location in the Far East and is nearer to Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan, even to the USA than Port Klang or Pasir Gudang in the Peninsula. 

It makes no business sense for goods from and to these countries from Sabah to go through Port Klang first. 

The detour to Port Klang costs more money and takes a longer journey time. 

In a comparative study, it cost RM3, 833 and at least 14 days to ship a container from Kota Kinabalu to Tokyo, Japan but only cost RM2, 082 and 11 days to ship the same container from Penang to Tokyo. A similar container from Kota Kinabalu to Auckland. New Zealand, will cost RM5, 033 and take 28 days compared to RM4, 197 and 20 days from Penang. 

By shipping direct from Kota Kinabalu to Tokyo will render costs to be cheaper and faster thereby making exports from Sabah immediately more competitive as an investment and manufacturing destination.

Based on an analysis done on the revenues of local shipping companies protected by the unfair and the crippling cabotage policy, Sabahans pay about RM1.2 billion a year based on 400,000 TEUs at RM3, 000 average shipping costs per 20 foot container. This works out to the equivalent of RM35 per Sabahan per month or RM175 per household of 5 persons.

RM175 per month may be loose change for corrupt leaders but it constitute 10% of the average Sabah household income of RM1, 751 based on figures from the Ministry of Human Resources, Malaysia.

Therefore, it is imperative as part of the Sabah government initiative to make Sabah the Far East Hub, the Sabah government need to open up all the ports in Sabah to international shipping lines and bypass the Cabotage policy. 

This can be done by a Sabah law passed in the State Assembly.

By opening up the ports in Sabah, it will be a boon for local manufacturing activities and immediately render Sabah exports more competitive in the global markets especially to Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan and the USA.

From 2012, the income of shipping companies derived from the operation of Malaysian ships has been 70% exempted from tax and the income of any person employed on board a Malaysian ship is also exempted from tax. 

These incentives should be extended to Sabah manufacturers and industries with exports. They need to be compensated in order to enjoy the same shipping costs as their Peninsula counterparts. 

Therefore, the Sabah government needs to secure that Sabah manufacturers and industries with exports be granted a 100% tax incentive for their export value for a period of 10 years.

This move, amongst the various other measures that can be adopted to make the Far East Hub a success, will enable Sabah manufacturers and industries to re-capitalize and re-invest. It will also lure potential investors to invest in Sabah.

According to the Department of Statistics, in 2012 the manufacturing sector in Sabah contributed only 1.9% of Malaysia’s GDP with only Kelantan and Perlis having a lower contribution. 

Domestically, the manufacturing sector contributed only 7.9% of Sabah’s GDP compared to 27.0% in Sarawak, 31.5% in Selangor and 48.4% in Penang. There is much room for improvement in Sabah’s manufacturing sector.

If the Plan to turn Sabah into the “Hub of the Far East” is implemented and Sabah promoted as a competitive and investment destination, there will be much needed economic spin-offs. 

Employment opportunities will be generated, human capital development will be enhanced rendering no necessity to “export” our youths to the Peninsula and Singapore for factory jobs. 

Only then will Sabah be an economic powerhouse in line with the vision of the Sabah Development Corridor Blue Print 2008-2025. 

The promotion of Sabah as the Far East Hub will grow and eventually contribute to Sabah’s and Malaysia‘s economic progress and development.

Imagine Musa tabling an RM40B 2014 Sabah Budget

By Matthias Hermes

KOTA KINABALU: STAR Sabah chief Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan has proposed the Chief Minister to table a record-breaking RM40 billion Sabah Budget for 2014.

Such a proposal was made assuming the calls by Malay ultras to chase out Christian Malaysians and Sabah out of the Federation are to realize before year-end.

Jeffrey (photo) said the RM40 billion budget, a ten-fold increase from the historical RM4.048 billion spent for 2013, will set Sabah’s economy into lift-off into the super league of wealthy nations.

“It may be a record of sorts but RM40 billion revenue is a conservative estimate.  Oil revenue will contribute RM20 billion, half of the total revenue, which is not unexpected given the current world oil prices of above USD100 per barrel.

“The federal tax department announced it could collect up to RM40 billion for 2013 from Sabah,” he pointed out. (It must be pointed out that the Sabah IRB has since clarified that the figure of RM40 billion was erroneously quoted and have since said the amount is much lesser).

In addition, all the federal departments’ collections from Sabah could be another several billion ringgit.

He further noted that the corporate sector could contribute many billions more now that they will have to pay tax on revenue based on income derived from Sabah.

“Palm oil revenue could be very significant as Sabah is the world’s third biggest producer of crude palm oil, about 36% of Malaysia’s total of about RM73 billion a year,” he said.

He estimated that local contribution of State revenue would be another RM2.4 billion based on 2013’s estimated revenue of RM3.828 billion inclusive of RM1.42 billion from federal coffers.

“In fact, looking at the figures, the 2014 Budget could exceed RM60 billion all in,” he said.

“For 2013, the estimated expenditure was RM663.17 million for emoluments, recurrent expenditures of RM1,087.93 million and special expenditures of RM2,337.38 million (which formed the bulk of the RM2.42 billion development expenditure).

“Giving a 6% increase, the emoluments will rise to RM702.96 million and RM1,153.21 million for recurrent expenditures, totalling RM1,856.17 million,” he added.

The Bingkor assemblyman also suggested that to create a quantum leap in the economy and development, each of the 60 state constituencies could be allocated RM300 million each (RM25 million per month), totalling RM18 billion, a 7-1/2 times increase from 2013.

“In other words, Sabah will get development in a single year of what would take 7-1/2 years to achieve given the 2013 Budget.

“And to alleviate the people’s financial position, each of the 3.2 million Sabahans will be given a RM1,000 special dividend which will utilize another RM3.2 billion.

“The total Budget expenditure will total RM23.05717 billion leaving a surplus of RM16.94283 billion,” he said.

Assuming Sabah takes back control of the security forces comprising some 16,000 police, PGA and maritime personnel, which may cost Sabah another RM600 million, Dr Jeffrey opined that putting aside RM1.0 billion should be able to cover the additional costs of assuming State control of the security forces including 5,000 army personnel.

“That would still leave a healthy and hefty RM15.94 billion to be added to Sabah’s reserves which is said to be about RM3 billion currently,” he said.

He quipped that even with prudent financial planning, Selangor, the richest Malaysian state only managed to increase its State reserves from RM700 million in 2008 to RM3 billion in 2013.

“Imagine RM15.94 billion reserves in 2014 alone, Selangor would seem poor in comparison and probably take another 20 years to catch up.

“The RM15.94 billion reserves will result in each and every Sabahan having a healthy credit balance of RM4,981 compared to the national debt of some RM600 billion or RM21,000 debt for every Malaysian,” he pointed out.

Enough with the threats, Jeffrey tells Najib’s men

He said the claims for the restoration of Sabah rights and autonomy do not mean cessation, or being anti-Malaya/Peninsula or promoting hatred for other Malaysians.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah opposition leader Jeffrey Kitingan wants the federal government to stop threatening those who have spoken up for Sabah’s rights in Malaysia.

He said it could not be denied that the two Borneo states had been overlooked in terms of development and their rights denied under the terms and conditions of the Malaysia Agreement and criticisms should not be construed as unpatriotic.

“The biggest threat to the security of the nation and the break-up of Malaysia is from the ruling government itself,” he said yesterday when urging the federal authorities to acknowledge its treatment of Sabah and Sarawak.

“The more the ruling government ignore and does not address the grievances of and the injustices inflicted on Sabahans and Sarawakians and implement the Malaysia Agreement, the 20/18 Points, the IGC Report and the recommendations of the Cobbold Commission, the louder will be the voice of the people in Sabah and Sarawak.

“The official slogan may be ‘Sabah Maju Jaya Dalam Malaysia’ but the stark reality on the ground and in the kampongs is ‘Sabah Termiskin Dalam Malaysia’,” the STAR Sabah chairman, who’s outspokenness on Sabah issues has landed him in trouble before, said.

Kitingan also contended that if the government wished to take action against perceived “threats to the security and well-being of the nation”, it should look into the statements and threats issued by personalities and groups in the name of Malay rights.

He said such jingoistic terms as Ketuanan Malayu as well as the religious bigots that incite religious hatred and racism are far more dangerous but have been ignored.

The failure of Minister of Defence Hishammuddin Tun Hussein to speak out on those issues, he said, could be construed as arrogance and an abuse of power to lord it over and control Sabahans to ensure Umno and Malaya’s dominance and colonisation over Sabah.

“There is nothing criminal or wrong in any Sabahan/Sarawakian to seek the restoration of the rights, privileges and autonomy of the Borneo States that were taken away or eroded since 1963,” he said.

“The Minister seems to have forgotten the facts of history that Sabah and Sarawak (with Singapore then) formed Malaysia in 1963 and were given various promises and assurances by the then Malayan leaders including the execution of the Malaysia Agreement to induce and entice the Borneo States to form Malaysia.

“Malaysia never existed before 1963 and Malaysia would not have existed even today without Sabah and Sarawak,” Kitingan pointed out.

Critics are not anti-Malaya

He said the claims for the restoration of Sabah rights and autonomy do not mean cessation, or being anti-Malaya/Peninsula or promoting hatred for other Malaysians.

“Claiming for Sabah rights is nothing more than the equivalent claim for Malay rights in the Peninsula.  Claiming for these rights also does not mean ‘Sabah for Sabahans’ or ‘Sarawak for Sarawakians’.

“It is not even a shadow of a threat to the security and well-being of the nation although it may seem to be a political threat to the political powers that be.

“A political threat just like the political threat posed by Pakatan Rakyat to the ruling regime does not mean a threat to the nation or security of the nation.

“Such a political situation is but part and parcel of a democracy.  However, the ruling regime does not see it that away and used every possible government machinery to bully, harass and intimidate the opposition,” he said.

The Bingkor assemblyman also advised the Minister concerned to take a lesson from the Prime Minister and realise the realities of the political power wielded by the Borneo States and its people including the local BN leaders.

“The people in the Borneo States have awakened from their slumber and now realise that their roles as kingmakers in determining the federal government in Putrajaya and along with it the God-given opportunity to voice and claim the restoration of the rights and autonomy of the Borneo States.

“Sack the ministers and deputy ministers from Sabah and Sarawak today and immediately the ruling BN regime will find itself in the opposition with the Minister himself as the “shadow” minister in the opposition cabinet,” he said.

Kitingan continued that the claims for restoration of Sabah rights and autonomy are beyond harassment and threats by the ministers and the government machinery.

He further noted that the people of Sabah including Sabah Umno/BN leaders and supporters are already joining the bandwagon to seek the restoration of the Sabah rights.

“Even the claims for the return of the oil rights and oil revenue, taken 95% by Petronas and the federal government with RM58 billion taken in 2012, can no longer be ignored.

“Promises of development, 1 or 2 ‘Tangki Biru 1-Malaysia’, a few pieces of zinc and timber, a few million here and there, a few hundred million of projects here and there, will no longer satisfy the people in Sabah and Sarawak. It will be more evident come the 14th general election,” he said.

IGNORANT: Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom - 20 Point agreement with SABAH (in 1963) is not the 10-point solution made in 2011.

The Ten Point Solution made in 2011 is as follows: 

1. Bibles in all languages can be imported into the country, including Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia. 

2. These Bibles can also be printed locally in Peninsula Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. This is a new development which should be welcome by the Christian groups. 

3. Bibles in indigenous languages of Sabah and Sarawak such as Iban, Kadazan¬Dusun and Lun Bawang can also be printed locally and imported. 

4. For Sabah and Sarawak, in recognition of the large Christian community in these states, there are no conditions attached to the importation and local printing of the Bibles in all languages, including Bahasa Malaysia/ Indonesia and indigenous languages. There is no requirement for any stamp or serial number. 

5. Taking into account the interest of the larger Muslim community, for Peninsula Malaysia, Bibles in Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia, imported or printed, must have the words “Christian Publication” and the cross sign printed on the front covers. 

6. In the spirit of 1Malaysia and recognising that many people travel between Sabah and Sarawak and Peninsula Malaysia, there should be no prohibitions and restrictions for people who bring along their bibles and Christian materials on such travel. 

7. A directive on the Bible has been issued by the Ketua Setiausaha (KSU) of the Home Ministry to ensure proper implementation of this cabinet decision. Failure to comply will subject the officers to disciplinary action under the General Orders. A comprehensive briefing by top officials, including the Attorney General (AG), will be given to all relevant civil servants to ensure good understanding and proper implementation of the directive (See Attachment 1). 

8. For the impounded Bibles in Kuching, Gideon, the importer can collect all the 30,000 Bibles free of charge. We undertake to ensure the parties involved are reimbursed. The same offer remains available for the importer of the 5,100 Bibles in Port Kiang, which have already been collected by the Bible Society Malaysia (BSM) last week. 

9. Beyond the Bible issue, the Government wishes to reiterate its commitment to work with the Christian groups and all the different religious groups in order to address interreligious issues and work towards the fulfilment of all religious aspirations in accordance with the constitution, taking into account the other relevant laws of the country. In order to bring urgency to this work, in my capacity as the Prime Minister, I will meet the representatives of the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) soon to discuss the way forward. 

10. The Christian Ministers in the cabinet will meet on a regular basis with representatives of the various Christian groups in order to discuss their issues and work with the relevant Ministries and myself in order to resolve them. As the leader of this country, I wish to reiterate the Government’s commitment in solving any religious issues in this country. There is a need to manage polarities that exist in our society to achieve peace and harmony. I believe the best way to achieve this is through respect, tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Upko backs DATUK DR. JEFFREY KITINGAN call to reconvene RCI

PRESS STATEMENT: “Recall all ICs Issued in Sabah and Issue a new Sabah IC" – DATUK DR. JEFFREY KITINGAN 

Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan is the Chairman of STAR Sabah and State Assemblymen for N33, Bingkor, Sabah.

He also contested in P180, Keningau and garnering 11900 strong votes

Citing the recent arrest of a security guard with a fake Sabah IC and a Pakistani 'Sabahan' charged with murder, Upko said "security is now the state’s main concern".

RANAU: A Barisan Nasional coalition party from Sabah has joined the clamor for the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on alleged massive immigration racketeering in Sabah to reconvene to hear new evidence of the blowback of the alleged operation.

The United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) said the arrest of a security guard with Sabah identification papers who shot dead a bank officer recently presents a strong basis for recalling all the identity cards issued in Sabah.

Ewon Benedick, a rapidly rising leader in the party, said such an exercise would help facilitate a thorough screening of citizenship papers issued in the state.

Benedick also wants the commission to hold a special investigation that will focus on the bank robbery as the suspect was in possession of a Sabah IC that had allowed him to get through immigration at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) and even secure a job in a security firm.

The Upko Komulakan (a youth wing of the party) chief said the probe was necessary due to “many” foreigners being in possession of Sabah ICs holding jobs in both the public and private sectors in the county.

Speaking to the media after launching the 46th annual sports of SK Kiau in Ranau Sports Complex on Tuesday, he cited the case of the leader of the Sulu militants who invaded Lahad Datu in February this year being a former Assistant District Officer for Kudat.

“Last year, when a Pakistani was brought to court in connection with a murder case of a teenage girl in Kota Marudu, I made an open suggestion to the Royal Commission of Inquiry to widen its scope to also investigate how he obtained his IC and was allowed to operate business.

“The fact that they are now in the private and business sectors, probably also now in the public service, is worrying as criminal case(s) like these (instances) has gone up in numbers. Security is now the state’s main concern as more and more Sabahans feel insecure,” he added.

Benedick also recalled how Deputy IGP Bakri Zinin had once described illegal immigrants as ‘the mother of all problems’ in Sabah when he was the deputy police chief in the state.

Recall ICs

That warning echoed an observation by former Suhakam Commissioner Simon Sipaun of a possible reverse takeover of the state due to a scheme codenamed Project IC, a clandestine operation to grant illegal immigrants citizenship in exchange for votes.

Upko’s stand, Benedick said, is to recall and re-issue identity cards to only genuine Malaysians in Sabah as stated by party president, Bernard Dompok.

Dompok’s call was also endorsed by fellow BN component party leaders, Joseph Pairin Kitingan of Parti Bersatu Sabah and Joseph Kurup of Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah.

Benedick, who is also the party’s Kota Belud chief, said he and all of his members are ready to return their ICs to the authority to allow for investigation and re-issuance of a new ICs for genuine Sabahans.

“With a stronger state representation in the federal cabinet, I believe we can push for a comprehensive solution to this problem. I don’t see any reason why we cannot adopt the proposal. What we need is only stronger political will.

“We are also looking forward to see the report by RCI and what is their recommendation.

“The state BN government has made it number one priority to pursue solution for this problem and to go along with the recommendation by the RCI,” he added.

EXCLUSIVE: 1987 Ming Court Affair - SARAWAK

1987 Ming Court Affair

This political crisis already started brewing when Tun Datuk Patinggi Abdul Rahman Ya'kub was the Governor of Sarawak/Yang di-Pertua Negara of Sarawak (1981-1985). 

He criticized his nephew (YB Pehin Sri Dr. Abdul Taib Mahmud) in a speech at a ceremony of opening of the Bintulu port in 1983. 

In 1985, Rahman Ya'kub was involved in a bitter dispute with his nephew, Abdul Taib Mahmud over allocation rights. 

In 1987, Rahman Ya'kub formed a new party named Parti Persatuan Rakyat Malaysia Sarawak (PERMAS) in order to challenge Taib Mahmud at the polls. He also formed an alliance with Sarawak Dayak People's Party (PBDS) in order to unseat Taib Mahmud. 

In March 1987, 27 of the 48 state assemblymen suddenly directed their support to Rahman Ya'kub while calling Taib Mahmud to resign as a chief minister. Among the defectors were Taib's 4 cabinet ministers and 3 assistant ministers. 

A war of accusations on timber concessionaires then broke out between Rahman Ya'kub and Taib Mahmud. Taib Mahmud revoked 30 timber licenses held by his defectors and Rahman's clients. Taib then accused Rahman for awarding 1.25 million hectares of logging concessions worth RM 22.5 billion to Rahman himself and his relatives. Rahman Ya'kub, in return, revealed a list of timber concessions covering 1.6 million hectares held by Taib's clients and family. 

Despite the unsuccessful attempt at the 1987 Sarawak state election, Rahman continued his struggle with his allies, Sarawak Dayak People's Party against Taib's led Sarawak Barisan Nasional until 1991 Sarawak state election when Taib's coalition won an overwhelming majority of 49 out of 56 seats in the state assembly

Another interesting character must be Datuk Justin Jinggut, a former SNAP vice president who is now actively promoting himself to be the PKR supremo in Sarawak. 

Interestingly Justin Jinggut is Norlia Tun Abdul Rahman's husband. Now, who is Justin Jinggut again? 

"I believe the first double-frogged politician was “born” in Sarawak. It was in Sarawak where this culture of double-frogging began when Ulu Rajang MP Justine Jinggut elected unopposed on a SNAP ticket in the 1982 parliamentary election defected to Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) in 1983. 

In 1986, he contested on a PBDS ticket and won with a big majority. He leapfrogged back to SNAP before 1987. In 1990 he stood again on a SNAP ticket and was soundly defeated by Billy Abit Joo of PBDS." - The Broken Shield

EXCLUSIVE: (1991) DATUK DR. JEFFREY KITINGAN ditahan ISA

(1991) Dr. Jeffrey G Kitingan ditahan ISA

Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan is the Chairman of STAR Sabah and State Assemblymen for N33, Bingkor, Sabah.

He also contested in P180, Keningau and garnering 11900 strong votes

Dr. Jeffrey, telah berusaha sejak 1986 mendidik rakyat tentang Hak Istimewa Sabah yang dijamin dalam Artikel VIII Perjanjian Malaysia dan 20-PERKARA sambil mengingatkan Kerajaan Persekutuan (Kuala Lumpur) supaya menghormati perjanjian tersebut.

Namun, usaha Dr. Jeffrey ini dihalang oleh Kuala Lumpur. 

Mahatir telah memberi amaran kepada beliau,

“JEFFREY, ORANG-ORANG KAMPUNG TIDAK TAHU TENTANG HAK-HAK NEGERI SABAH DAN 20 PERKARA, KENAPA KITA HARUS MEMBERITAHU MEREKA? LAPORAN DARI SPECIAL BRANCH (POLIS SB) MENGATAKAN BAHAWA KAMU DAN IDS BERTANGGUNGJAWAP MEMBERITAHU RAKYAT…” 

Kemudian tidak lama dari itu, Dr. Jeffrey diburu bagaikan seorang penjenayah oleh pihak polis sehingga beliau ditahan di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) pada 13hb. Mei 1991.

Dr. Jeffrey ditahan di bawah akta ISA selama 2 tahun 7 bulan. 

Sejak penahanan Dr. Jeffrey ini, tiada lagi pemimpin-pemimpin Sabah yang berani meneruskan agenda menuntut hak ini kerana ditakut-takutkan dengan akta ISA. Ini jelas terbukti bahawa, Kuala Lumpur bukan saja bermain sandiwara tetapi lebih teruk dari itu. 

Kuala Lumpur yang di bawah pimpinan Mahatir menggunakan pentadbiran kuku besi (regime Mahatir) dalam segala hal di Sabah khasnya.

Manipulasi jenayah politik Kuala Lumpur ini telah menjadikan rakyat Sabah kehilangan hak-hak. 

Pada hari ini, selepas 50 tahun, kita menyedari walaupun sedikit berlambat, bahawa Malaysia adalah bukan Malaysia seperti yang dijanjikan kepada kita, iaitu gabungan sama rata di antara 4 buah Negara iaitu Sabah, Sarawak, Singapura dan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu. 

Sabah dan Sarawak telah menjadi negeri ke 12 dan ke 13 sejak penyingkiran Singapura (1965) di bawah jajahan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu! Sabah terus dimanipulasi oleh Kuala Lumpur sehinggalah sekarang!

Jadi? Masa kita sudah sampai untuk TAKE CHARGE! GOD is watching!

Agenda Borneo – Sejak Dr. Jeffrey dibebaskan dari tahanan ISA, beliau meneruskan perjuangan ini melalui parti politik namun bermacam-macam bentuk tohmahan dan kritikan ditempuhi untuk mencapai hasrat menuntut hak Sabahan. 

Untuk meneruskan perjuangan Agenda Borneo ini, beliau telah menubuhkan sebuah pertubuhan bukan kerajaan dan bukan parti politik yang dinamakan “UNITED BORNEO FRONT (UBF)” sebagai landasan meneruskan usaha mendidik rakyat Sabah tentang hak-hak yang seharusnya menjadi hak mutlak rakyat Sabah sejak Sabah diberi kebebasan dari penjajah British pada 31hb. Ogos 1963.
