Konflik pembangkang Sabah belum ada kesudahan

Artikel di bawah yang dipetik dari Sabahkini membuktikan bahawa pembangkang Sabah belum bersedia menghadapi Pilihanraya Umum. Rakyat Sabah sudah menjangkakan bahawa situasi seperti ini akan timbul terutamanya bila pilihanraya semakin hampir. Sikap tamak dan ego dikalangan pemimpin-pemimpin pembangkang memang tidak boleh dikikis, apatah lagi dipisahkan. So, terpulanglah kepada rakyat membuat pilihan samada mahu memilih parti yang pentingkan diri sendiri, gagal menyelesaikan konflik dan sukakan huru-hara, atau memilih parti yang sudah terbukti berjaya mengekalkan perpaduan dan permuafakatan dikalangan parti komponen disamping berjaya melaksanakan perkongsian kuasa tanpa menghadapi sebarang konflik.

KONFLIK parti pembangkang di Sabah masih belum ada kesudahannya. Sama ada parti STAR mahupun PAKATAN, belum mempunyai persepakatan untuk seiring dan berganding bahu untuk menumbangkan regim UMNO yang semakin dibenci oleh rakyat Sabah. 

Namun siapakah yang rakyat perlu sokong. Adakah STAR atau Pakatan Rakyat? Heboh diperkatakan bahawa Anuar Ibrahim enggan menandatangani 'Deklarasi Tambunan' semasa lawatan beliau ke Tambunan dahulu ketika Jeffrey Kitingan berada dalam PKR. 

Jeffrey dan STAR sibuk mengatakan bahawa Pakatan Rakyat tidak bagus dan ada agenda tersendiri dan tidak mahu mengembalikan autonomi rakyat Sabah. Jeffrey juga menyatakan bahawa Anuar Ibrahim tidak serius dalam membantu rakyat Sabah. 

Namun pada hakikatnya tidaklah seperti yang dihebohkan oleh beliau. Anuar telah bersetuju dengan isi kandungan Deklarasi Tambunan namun apa yang berlaku, perlu dibincang dan ditandatangani oleh beberapa pihak yang berada dalam parti berkenaan. 

Memandangkan hanya dia yang hadir pada ketika itu maka, beliau meminta isu tersebut ditangguhkan dulu. Kini apa yang berlaku adalah deklarasi ini telah ditandatangani di Sarawak dengan isi kandungan yang hampir sama, namun masih ingin mengembalikan autonomi negeri Sabah menerusi 'Deklarasi Kuching' yang telah dipersetujui dan ditandatangani oleh pemimpin tertinggi tiga gabungan parti dalam pakatan. 

Jadi kita sudah jelas di sini bahawa Jeffrey sendiri yang ada agenda tersendiri untuk mengaburi mata rakyat dan memecah undi KDM. Bagaimana kita mempercayai perjuangan mereka ini jika perkara ini pun sudah menipu rakyat? 

Bagaimana kita mahu mencapai misi untuk menumbangkan regim UMNO andainya kita berpihak kepada mereka yang sengaja mengaburi mata rakyat? 

Keengganan mereka bekerjasama dengan pakatan juga adalah salah satu bukti bahawa mereka ini ada agenda tersendiri bagi memecah belahkan undi pembangkang. 

Namun apa yang jelas, STAR ingin memperjuangkan autonomi Sabah dikembalikan seperti yang terkandung dalam Perkara 20 dan Perjanjian Malaysia 1963; sedangkan semuanya sudah ada dalam 'Deklarasi Kuching'. Jadi untuk apa mereka ingin bersendirian dan tidak membantu pakatan bagi menghapuskan UMNO di muka bumi Sabah? - Sabahkini

  5. NO CONSENSUS: Sabah Opposition Still Split Over Polls Candidates

    Hope of compromise with PKR and DAP to have straight fights against BN dashed as leaders ignore forum. IT appears that opposition parties are far from reaching a consensus on a one-to-one contest with Barisan Nasional in Sabah, a key state that could hold sway on who gets to form the next government.

    This is evident from the cancellation of a recent forum aimed at getting key opposition leaders to publicly commit to a straight fight with BN. Organised by Demokrasi Sabah (Desah), the forum came to nought after Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and DAP's Lim Kit Siang failed to turn up.

    Desah, a local-based political pressure group headed by former state secretary Tan Sri Simon Sipaun, had hoped that leaders of PKR, DAP, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and the State Reform Party (STAR), the four main opposition parties expected to feature prominently in Sabah in the 13th general election, would attend the forum.

    Desah deputy chairman Ronnie Klassen said that Anwar did not even bother to respond to their invitation.

    "We assume he (Anwar) has his reasons. Nonetheless, we did not receive any confirmation or news from him," he said with a tinge of regret that Desah had to call off the forum because of circumstances beyond its control.

    Desah opined that a one-to-one contest between the opposition and BN was crucial to provide voters a clear choice of who they preferred should form the next government, both at the state and federal levels. Such a hope may unlikely to materialise, going by the snub by Anwar and Lim to the Desah forum.

    While the Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee-led SAPP appears to be prepared to compromise with PKR and DAP on the seats it intends to contest in order to avoid a split in opposition votes, STAR seems to have other ideas.

      Led by political nomad Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR had openly made a stand that PKR and DAP should focus mainly on the 25 parliamentary seats up for grabs in Sabah, while the 60 state seats should be left to the local-based opposition parties to contest

    Political analysts believe that the recent defection of BN members of parliament Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin (Beaufort) and Datuk Seri Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing (Tuaran) to the opposition had made negotiations for common opposition candidates to take on the BN even more complicated.

    It is learnt that the two only agreed to support the opposition pact after Anwar acceded to their request to be allowed to decide on the candidates for certain seats.

      Anwar had purportedly given a written undertaking to Lajim and Bumburing that they would have the "power" to decide the opposition candidates for some of the Muslim and non-Muslim majority seats.

    Both Lajim and Bumburing had respectively set up Pakatan Perubahan Sabah (PPS) and Angkatan Perubahan Sabah (PPS) as a platform to entice potential candidates, especially those currently aligned with BN, to join them.

      Lajim had even publicly announced that the majority of Muslim-dominated seats in Sabah would be contested by his yet-to-be registered PPS, raising the ire of state PKR chief Ahmad Thamrin Jaini.

    Thamrin dismissed Lajim's claim, insisting that Lajim's power base was mainly in Beaufort and that the strength of the opposition lay in its ability to arrive at decisions based on consensus.

    The opposition leaders in Sabah have repeatedly expressed their optimism at reaching a compromise on fielding a single candidate to take on BN, but it is probably "easier said than done".

    The parochial stance of the local opposition leaders, particularly Kitingan, is also seen as a stumbling block for the opposition to strike a compromise.

    Kitingan, who had changed his political affiliation no less than seven times, with PKR as his last stop before joining the Sarawak-based STAR, had openly said that Sabahans should be allowed to decide their destiny without interference of outside parties.

    Perhaps, the biggest hurdle the opposition in Sabah needs to clear before it can strike a compromise on a straight fight against BN is to agree on who should be the chief minister if they succeeded in unseating the state BN government.

    "I don't think the opposition will ever be able to cooperate as it is obvious that its leaders, especially Kitingan, Yong and Lajim all aspire to become the chief minister," said state BN secretary Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

    On the other hand, the state BN, under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, is all set to mount the opposition challenge. In contrast to the opposition, component members of the state BN are said to have agreed on the ruling coalition's list of candidates for the election.
