Isu "Sabah For Sabahan" dan autonomi yang menjadi agenda utama perjuangan SAPP untuk meraih sokongan politik, bukan sahaja gagal mendapat sambutan, malah tidak berpijak di bumi nyata. Isu berkenaan bukan sahaja lapuk dan muncul apabila ada pilihan raya, malah bersifat anti kenegaraan. Pihak yang terus menerus berhujah seperti pemimpin-pemimpin SAPP boleh dikategorikan sebagai katak dibawah tempurung kerana tidak mengenal undang-undang kenegaraan dan Perlembagaan Negara.
Sebagaimana yang ditakrifkan menurut Perkara 161A Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang dibaca bersama dengan Interpretation (Definition of Native) Ordinance Sabah merupakan rakyat Malaysia yang mempunyai kedudukan istimewa yang dilindungi oleh Yang di-Pertuan Agong menurut Perkara 153 Perlembagaan Persekutuan. 20 Perkara yang disebutkan dahulu juga sudah selesai kecuali beberapa perkara yang berkaitan dengan penempatan pegawai, namun itupun cuma pada peringkat-peringkat tertentu sahaja dan ianya sedang ditangani dengan baik oleh kerajaan.
Hampir semua jabatan dan agensi Persekutuan utama di Sabah kini diketuai oleh penjawat awam di kalangan anak tempatan di negeri ini. Antaranya termasuklah Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Sabah, Jabatan Kastam, Jabatan Imigresen dan Jabatan Pelajaran. Kerajaan Persekutuan juga sentiasa memberi peluang kepada anak tempatan untuk memegang portfolio penting dan tinggi di peringkat persekutuan di Kuala Lumpur. Sebagai contoh, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail (Peguam Negara), Commisioner Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin (Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Bukit Aman), Datuk Seri Pengiran Haji Mohd Hussein Pengiran Mohd Tahir (Duta Besar Malaysia ke Kemboja), Profesor Datuk Dr Kamaruzaman Ampon (Naib Canselor Universiti Malaysia Sabah), Datuk Jumat Engson (Pengarah Berita dan Ehwal Semasa RTM Angkasapuri), Puan Jainisah Mohd Noor (Pegawai perhubungan awam JPN Putrajaya), Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Kastam Malaysia pernah disandang rakyat Sabah dari Menggatal, Datuk Mohd Yusop Mansor, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal (Menteri kemajuan luar bandar dan wilayah), Datuk Anifah Aman (Menteri Luar), Tan Sri Bernard Dompok (Menteri Perusahaan, Perladangan dan Komoditi) dan Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili (Menteri Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi).
Sikap pihak tertentu yang sengaja membangkitkan perkara berkenaan boleh dianggap serius kerana seolah-olah ada usaha untuk membawa Sabah ke arah lain yang tidak selari dengan Malaysia sebagai sebuah entiti negara. Jesteru, rakyat harus menolak sentimen sempit seperti itu dan menumpukan perhatian dan usaha bersama kerajaan untuk melahirkan generasi pemimpin negara yang hebat dari Sabah serta berpendidikan tinggi.
Bekas Ketua Menteri Sabah Datuk Yong Teck Lee tidak sepatutnya membangkitkan isu "Sabah For Sabahan" kerana semasa menjadi ketua menteri dahulu beliau sendiri telah gagal berbuat apa-apa untuk Sabah. Selain gagal memajukan negeri ini, beliau juga gagal menyediakan peluang pekerjaan kepada rakyat Sabah. Malah, negeri Sabah hampir bankrap dibawah pentadbiran beliau. Sebaliknya, penghargaan harus diberikan kepada Ketua Menteri Sabah sekarang Datuk Seri Musa Aman kerana ketegasan, ketangkasan dan kebijaksanaan beliau dalam mentadbir negeri Sabah yang hari ini dilihat sedang berada dilandasan tepat menuju status negeri maju.
Antara komen rakyat yang wajib Yong Teck Lee baca, nilai dan kaji semula: (sumber dari Malaysia Kini)
Quigonbond: I'm really sick of Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP). From having just a handful of elected representatives in Parliament, they are now hemming and hawing about wanting to control Sabah. They should wake up from their fantasy and get on with the reality.
Contesting one-third of the seats and having a major say in a new state government is already very good.
Play this zero-sum game and SAPP is in a world of hurt come the general election (GE) - perhaps not winning even a single seat. In the end, does it matter whether a leader is from Sabah or parachuted in?
Almost everyone in the federal government is not a native of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya or Labuan. They are from somewhere else - Johor, Penang, Pahang, etc. Does it mean Putrajaya can never be run by those hailing from outside Putrajaya?
This notion is certainly absurd, therefore so is the notion that Sabah can only be run by Sabahan, especially when those particular Sabahans have been in power before and didn't do anything to solve the many woes afflicting Sabah. In the end, we only look at who is competent.
Multi Racial: Don't make this into a Sabah versus the rest of Malaysia thing. When things favour SAPP president Yong Teck Lee, he happily embraces it.
Why did he not say anything in the past when he was with BN? What did he do when he was the chief minister of Sabah.
Good men: Yong, it's time to stop pretending to be fighting for Sabahans, you are only fighting for yourself and your big ego.
Tell us, didn't you lose your Likas seat through a court case filed by challenger Chong Eng Leong in 2001?
It was found you had initially won with the help of Project M voters, wasn't it? So don't pretend. A genuine Sabahan would never do that.
Anonyxyz: The politics of divide-and-rule by race and religion has successfully been executed in Peninsular Malaysia until it is now embedded in every aspect of life. This division by geography is now upped a level as propagated by Yong, although it is has existed in Sabah/Sarawak for many years.
Hopefully BN or Pakatan does not join this division. Next, we will have Selangor for Selangoreans, Penang for Penangites or Johor for Johoreans and we will become a carved-out country and every state will be demanding for separation.
MockingYou: Secession, such an ugly word from the 90s. And conveniently uttered, nay threatened, by the leader of an opposition party when our army and police boys are busy hunting the remnants of the armed intruders. Just wondering at the coincidence and timing.
Yong Teck Lee, you're treading on dangerous ground so better stay focussed on assisting in building a better Malaysia for all Malaysians.
Anonymous #37634848: Yong Teck Lee, why not give Sabah to the Sulu sultan or the Philippines, if you can only count ghosts from Putrajaya?
Spinnot: Didn't YTL get a shock in Batu Sapi? Why he never mentioned "Sabah for Sabahans" when SAPP was in BN from 1990 to 2008? And what "one country two systems" rubbish is SAPP talking about with regard to Sabah/Sarawak vs Peninsula Malaysia? When "one country two systems" policy was conceived by the late Deng Hsiao-ping of China in the 1980s, it's because mainland China was communist and Hong Kong was capitalist.
tiada sokong YTL lagi.
