On May 21st, the Daily Express published a report saying that the Kalabakan MP, Datuk Ghapur Salleh had said the Merotai seat being held by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) should be returned to the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) since Merotai he claims is a Muslim majority seat.
And on June 16th, the Daily Express reported that Datuk Ghapur claimed that 191 UMNO branches within the Kalabakan division had unanimously supported a motion calling for the Merotai seat to be given back to UMNO.
It is very clear here that Datuk Ghapur's reasoning for wanting UMNO to stand in Merotai is because as he claims, Merotai is a Muslim-majority seat. It seems then that UMNO is a party representing the Muslims of Sabah and that UMNO should contest wherever there is a Muslim majority.
In this sense, why then is UMNO clinging to the Karanaan, Kemabong, Liawan, Pitas and Sugut constituencies. These are Kadazandusun-Murut(KDM)-majority constituencies. If UMNO's representation is based on religion, then the United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun-Murut Organization (UPKO) is a party which is based on ethnicity, in this case the KDM ethnic.
So, it would only be fair that UPKO be allowed to stand in these five KDM-majority constituencies. It would be welcoming if UPKO claims these seats from UMNO. In the event that the Merotai seat is given back to LDP, UPKO must have the five KDM-majority seats currently being held by UMNO.
This is because it would be illogical for UMNO to stand in all Muslim-majority seats on the basis of being a Muslim party while at the same time denying a KDM party from standing in all KDM-majority seats!
UMNO as the name itself suggest is a Malay-based party, not a KDM party. Even if all the KDM seats are not given to UPKO, they should be shared between UPKO and parties that are headed by KDM leaders like Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).
If we are to go by Datuk Ghapur's logic, then UMNO as a Malay party has no basis to contest for KDM-majority seats.

The colony supermacy based UMno should return the semenanjung to Thai and give Sabah becomes an independent nation... because of this information:
Ingati buku sejarah di sekolah menengah tercatat: Negara Kesultanan Melayu yg pertama di Semanjung Melaka ialah Parameswara, beliau berasa dari Palembang, Sumantra... pada masa itu kerajaan Melaka dihendaki membayar "bunga emas" kpd Raja Siam.
Ini bermaksud Tanah Melayu semanjung adalah milik Siam (Thailand), dan Melayu adalah pendatang dari Sumantra!!
Nah, sekarang penduduk "red shirt" Thai sudah "bertumpah darahnya" di Bangkok sedangkan mengjawapi lagu Negaraku dan Tanah Semanjung adalah milik Thai... dgn itu, org Tanah Samanjung Melayu yg tak hormati dgn Raja Thai sepatutnya dikejar balik ke Tanah Melayu Sumantra !!!
Sebaliknya, pulau Borneo adalah sebuah negara tersendiri yg tak bergaitan langsung dgn Kesultanan Tanah Melayu... oleh itu, parti2 SM sepatut tak boleh campur tangan di Borneo...
Mengikut catatan sejarah China pada tahun 517, Pulau Borneo sudah ada kerajaan yang bernama "POLI". Pada masa itu, Raja Borneo POLI dan rakyatnya menganut agama Buddha, POLI mempunyai hubungan perdagangan yang erat dengan Negara China. Menghantar alat2 tempatan seperti White Parrot, Ancient shell, ubat traditional, dan lain lain ke negara China, dan bertukar barangan2 seperti silk, Ceramics, dari China.
Pada masa itu Kerajaan Borneo adalah dibawah jagaan Negara China (Dynasti Liang). Raja Borneo selalu mengunjungi China dan China juga menghantar saudagar dan rakyatnya yang berniaga dan bertetap di Negara Borneo... Oleh itu, campuran kahwinan orang cina dengan orang tempatan telah bermula pada masa itu...
Sekarang tahun 2010... sudah lepas 1490 tahun dari sejarah itu, kalau keturunan 1 generasi mengambil masa 20 tahun... maka 1490 tahun sudah dapat menghasilkan 70 generasi penduduk borneo...
Maka, bayangkanlah, pada hari ini... tidak lah hairan kalau penduduk asli Borneo ini, samaada Kadazan, Dusun, Murut, Iban, Dayak atau apa2, kalau nenek moyang mereka memang ada keturunan darah orang cina dari cabang nenek moyang pada masa zaman dulu itu.

Asean countries are the by-product of the previous colonial empires... the continual of the imperial colonial parctices to supress and marginalised the ethnic minority in M'sia & Indon...
Refer to this article:
Preventing mass atrocities in Southeast Asia (http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/06/15/preventing-mass-atrocities-southeast-asia.html)
... and the reader's comment:
The article on Preventing atrocities in Southeast Asia is quite relevant if only to dramatize the plight of affected peoples, such as the "orang asli" or indigenous tribes in Southeast Asia who are marginalized and victims of "acculturation" and integration programs of their respective countries.
This is a serious humanitarian injustice while dominant cultural majorities lavishly take pride in achieving modernity and development at the expense of native aborigines, who are mostly fully integrated, thanks to sustained national integration programs.
But just how happy are these "integrated" minorities remained largely unknown.
But the stark reality that these native aboriginal peoples suffer pitiful discrimination in their own native lands.
The other type of minorities, consisting of migrants, such as Chinese, Indians, etc. are luckier being well-organized and educated, and all in engaged in business.
In fact, they not only survive, they flourish in their of adopted country.
Aborigines are in sad state, because even such programs as education, are no guarantee of their cultural survival.
In fact, education hastened their assimilation and integration.
In short, modernization produced the reverse effect of their cultural extinction.
the simplest solutions is to vote them out then solve the ic problem me thinks
Those seats should go to PBS- a only stronger Multi Racial/religious party as those areas are just as multi cultural afainst the race based entities.
