Of Sabahan Leaders And Sabahan Rights

Recently the United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun-Murut Organization (UPKO) called for a royal commission to look into the problem of illegal immigrants in Sabah.

In 2008, Lim Kit Siang of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) made a similar call in parliament but the North Borneo Herald does not recall any Sabahan leaders rallying behind Lim at that time. In fact, the parliament sitting at that time was chaired by none other than a Sabahan, Ronald Kiandee.

It brings to mind the thinking of Sabah politicians. If something right is being done for Sabah, should they reject it because the person doing it is not alligned to their party? And if something bad is going on in Sabah, should they be quiet because the person doing it is in alliance with them?

If this is the thinking of Sabahan leaders, then whatever left of Sabah's dignity would probably end up in the drain in ten years to come.

True leaders fight for their people and their rights, not just keep quiet for fear of offending those who violate these rights, as this is cowardice. The politicians can give a thousand excuses, but they will be judged by the people in the end.

For instance when Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president finally spoke on the "Allah" issue, many who read his comments had made up their minds about him.
