Disgruntled Sabah Upko members are fed up with Umno YBs and want a special programme to re-educate them on their responsibilities to the electorate.
LAHAD DATU: The strained relationship between two Barisan Nasional components here has emerged into the open over the preferential treatment given to Muslim Bumiputera at the expense of the non-Muslims.
The United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) which is embarrassed that it has not been able to provide the same level of social assistance that Umno provides its supporters, this week accused the dominant BN party of granting assistance based on religious beliefs rather than on needs and creating a split where none existed before.
Silam Upko division chairman, Basari Sarkun, charged that the Silam Umno elected representatives were neglecting the wellbeing of the non-Muslim Bumiputera and ignoring the sacrifices of BN component parties and their supporters that ensured the coalition’s victory in the last election.
Basari, who is also district councillor, said Umno seemed to be only interested in helping the Muslim community, especially its party members first and then the community.
“Let me remind you all that the victory of Silam is the victory of all the component parties in BN, and not solely Umno or the YBs themselves. They should fulfil their election pledge to the people after they had won,” he said.
He suggested that the BN conduct a special programme to educate its elected representatives to understand their duty to all citizens as well as Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s unity drive which they had taken to mean as an exercise of merely putting up their finger and shouting “1 Malaysia” during a function or a photo opportunity.
“I have requested for the YBs special fund to repair churches, roads, village community halls in non-Muslim Bumiputera majority villages. I also requested 1Malaysia computer, zinc sheets, water tanks and other such items for our communities, but sadly the YBs were not forthcoming,” he said.
A highly emotional Basari, who cried at various points of his speech to some 600 party members during a division meeting, said that even government poverty eradication programmes were discriminatory in nature including the supply of electricity and water in rural areas.
‘There’s still hope’
In attendance were Upko president Bernard Dompok, who is also federal Plantation and Commodity Minister, his deputy Ewon Ebin, who is State Rural Development Minister, State Cultural Board chairman Wences Anggang and central committee members Madius Tanggau and Markus Mojigoh (Putatan MP).
Dompok urged his party members to be calm and voice their grievances through the proper party channels.
He said the acceptance by Najib to set up Royal Commission of Inquiry on illegal immigrants was “a good indication” of the willingness of the current BN government to resolve the long-standing Sabahan problems.
“There is still hope in BN… it is willing to listen and find ways to improve the situation. Of course, we can’t resolve everything overnight, but when the right times come, it will be resolved,” he told disgruntled members and party supporters.

PAS ditubuhkan kerana tak puas hati ngan UMNO..kabornya pasal isu agama. Betul ler kut.
Malangnya dari beridentitikan sendiri dan mempunyai konsep dan pendekatan politik..berada dalam bayang2 UMNO.
Maklumler...1 rumpun, 1 keturunan..nak lari mana, corak pemikiran serupa je walaupun berlainan warna!! brpijak diatas tanah dan berbumbung langit yg sama.
Tapi..PAS brpijak dikaki UMNO, dan brlindung pada ketiak UMNO!!
Sumber pendapatan, pendidikan, jalanraya, lampu letrik, rumah2, taraf kehidupan, beras dan gula, garam....UMNO yg sediakan. Berteduh dari panas matahari, hujan dan ribut..dibawah bumbung UMNO
sapa yg bertanggungjawab membawa tahap ekonomi ahli2 PAS dan pempin2 PAS berubah pada tahap yg baik berbanding 50 tahun yg dulu? Anak2 mereka bersekolah sehingga keperingkat tertinggi..sekolah2 rendah, sekolah2 menengah, IPTA dan pasarana utk wujudnya pendidikan swasta ..sapa yg usahakan?
BN government had varied experience in administering the country since 55 years ago compared to the opposition pact which had no basic understanding in charting a good direction for the country.
Apa yg telah diusahakan oleh PAS utk ahli2nya dan rakyat Malaysia umumnya sejak ianya ditubuhkan sehingga hari ini? Sedangkan makan minum pun masih kutip ngan UMNO..BR1m yg bernilai RM500 tu pun pulun..RM100 utk anak2 yg bersekolah, pun pulun..lepas tu bukan kata terima kasih..tapi tuih!!..tuih!! tuih...siap ada kahak hijau lagi..pehhhh. Agak2 muka tampal kulit apa tu? Sistem persekolahan dan pendidikan yg disediakan oleh UMNO/BN gagal dan rosak, tapi antau anak2 kat sekolah2 yg dibina oleh UMNO/BN gak..semua subsidi2 kerajaan UMNO/BN nikmati jugak.
BN government success was proven with the country recording an economic growth of 5.2 per cent, increased investments from domestic and foreign investors and more than 300,000 job opportunities created.
Dulu..berfatwa undi wanita sebagai wakil, haram!! Tapi kemudian ikut gak bayang UMNO..letak wakil2 wanita.
Dulu..berfatwa undi orang kapir haram malah leh jatuh kapir..tapi sekarang tolong kempen utk calun kapir lagi malah galakkan ahli2nya undi orang2 kapir.
( Dulu guna dalil AQ dan hadis, tapi hari ni dalil tu dah tak berbunyi dan disorokkan bawah karpet "sahsiah Islam")
The future cannot be gambled away. A vote for the opposition is a vote for uncertain future. But a vote for BN is for a better, secure and prosperous future.
Najib promised that as prime minister, he would do his best for the people and country, and also to govern in a fairer and more just manner in ensuring the people received the attention and benefits from BN’s policies and administration.
Dulu..marah UMNO kerana berpakat ngan orang2 kapir, dan berdalil AQ dan Hadis gak..tapi kini ikut juga ler bayang UMNO..berpakat2 pulak ngan kaum kapir dan spt biasa dalil2 disapu kebawah karpet "sahsiah Islam".
Bila UMNO buat Wanita UMNO..PAS follow buat Dewan Muslimat.
Bila UMNO letak kaum Wanita sebagai calon pilihanraya, lantik jadi Exco ..PAS pun follow.
BIla UMNO buat Puteri UMNO..PAS hampir2 follow nak tubuhkan Puteri Muslimat.
Bila UMNO/BN buat Himpunan 1 juta, PAS pun nak buat Himpunan 100,000
Bila pempin2 PAS menang kerusi..ramai follow cam pempin2 UMNO, mula brkot dan brtie.ketayap dan baju Melayu atau jubah dah jarang2 pakai...mula kumpul harta..mula kehidupan mewah.
Jubah dan baju Melayu dah tukau ngan T'shirt Bersih..dari Hijau jadi Kuning!!
PAS semakin hari semakin mirip2 UMNO..spt bendera yg mereka kibarkan..Bendera UMNO cuma buang keris dan warnakan seluruhnya hijau!!
Ianya simbolik..tapi itulah PAS!!
So bagaimana PAS leh kata dia amalkan Islam sedangkan UMNO tolak Islam!! Jika benar UMNO tolak Islam..PAS sekarang pun perlahan2 sama2 menolak Islam..
As a national leader and BN chairman, Najib said he must be able to feel the pulse of the people and realise that today they have changed.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today said Barisan Nasional (BN) will continue to strive for social justice in the interest of all Malaysians.
The BN chairman and Umno president said BN component parties needed to engage the people and adopt an inclusive approach in considering the interest of all communities.
“This is one of the key pillars of 1Malaysia towards ensuring social justice grounded in the principles enshrined in the Malaysian constitution,” he said
“When you’re afraid to change with the times, you’ll become irrelevant as a political party,” he said.
The prime minister drove home the point on his intention to be fair to all when he said as a Muslim, he was enjoined by Islam to be fair to everybody, including non-Muslims.
He said to remain relevant, the party must also be brave to bring about change and not do things at the last moment.
“If there are mistakes, we must not be afraid of admitting them. We must correct them. There’s no point in saying ‘I’m sorry’ during the general election.
Najib stressed that all BN members must support the candidates fielded regardless of which party they came from, as this was the basic principle for ensuring BN’s success in the elections.
Najib noted that he was not promising the stars and the moon to the people, but what could be delivered to Malaysians under the BN rule was continued prosperity.
The prime minister said the opposition parties had actually lost their momentum, as seen in losses suffered in a string of by-elections.
Najib said this prompted them to claim that Malaysia’s electoral system was flawed, which, according to him, was not the case.
BN telah membuktikan komitmen menjaga kesejahteraan rakyat dengan merentasi batas kaum. Dengan konsep perkongsian kuasa,
BN telah membuktikan ketulusannya dalam memimpin pelbagai bangsa dan agama. BN juga sedar bahawa bagi mengekalkan kuasa di Putrajaya dan meneruskan kestabilan, keamanan serta kemakmuran negara, realiti landskap politik negara yang majmuk sifatnya mesti dipelihara dan segala janji harus ditepati.
Persoalannya, bagaimanakah BN boleh bertahan walaupun berbagai tohmahan dilemparkan bagi memburukkan imej dan reputasinya?
Jawapannya, kerana semua rakyat dapat melihat bukti yang nyata, di mana dari dahulu hingga kini, perjuangan BN adalah demi rakyat dan masa depan negara, bukannya demi individu atau kumpulan tertentu.
Kerajaan BN dibawah pimpinan YAB Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak sememangnya memahami nadi dan denyutan Rakyat. Walaupun pihak pembangkang gemar mewujudkan propaganda namun rakyat sudah mula membuka mata untuk menilai mana Janji yang Ditepati atau Sekadar menabur Janji.
Seperti yang telah dinyatakan oleh YAB Perdana Menteri, bukti Kerajaan BN telah menepati janji boleh dilihat dengan Program Transformasi Kerajaan yang diperkenalkan bagi membaiki penyampaian sektor awam.
Seterusnya, Program Transformasi Ekonomi dan Model Baru Ekonomi sebagai peta halatuju pusingan akhir ke arah wawasan negara maju berpendapatan tinggi.
Kemudiannya, Program Transformasi Politik bagi mengimbangi antara Keselamatan Kebangsaan dan Kebebasan Individu. Program Transformasi Luar Bandar dilancar, bagi meningkatkan kualiti hidup masyarakat luar bandar dan pedalaman, serta Program Transformasi Sosial yang berpandukan falsafah pemandu 1Malaysia.
Seterusnya, diteruskan pula dengan inisiatif-inisiatif yang dapat mengurangkan kos sara hidup rakyat seperti Klinik 1Malaysia, Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia (KR1M), Menu 1Malaysia dan Perumahan Rakyat 1Malaysia (PRIMA), Bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia (BR1M), pencen minima dinaikkan, insentif pesara kerajaan diberikan, meringankan beban bakal-bakal haji dengan membenarkan akaun 2 caruman KWSP dikeluarkan bagi menampung kos mengerjakan haji, tambahan 10,000 ahli pasukan sukarelawan polis, dana memajukan kaum wanita, bonus kakitangan awam, durian runtuh warga FELDA dan banyak lagi demi meringankan beban rakyat.
Semua ini tidak mungkin menjadi realiti jika BN bukan sebuah kerajaan yang baik. Kita yakin, masa depan bersama BN akan kekal cerah dengan komitmen pemimpinnya yang meneruskan cara berkhidmat atas dasar Demi rakyat dan Demi Masa Depan.
Konsep 1Malaysia yang diperkenalkan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak adalah bukti bahawa kepimpinan Barisan Nasional yang ditunjangi UMNO tidak pernah mengenepikan mana-mana kaum sejak negara mendapat kemerdekaan.
Timbalan Ketua Bahagian UMNO Bakri, Datuk Mazlan Sabri berkata pembabitan kaum lain telah terjalin sejak negara ingin mencapai kemerdekaan dan berterusan sehinggalah sekarang, ia terbukti dalam kepimpinan Barisan Nasional di peringkat Kabinet yang turut disertai oleh pelbagai kaum yang turut membabitkan pemimpin dari Sabah dan Sarawak.
“1Malaysia yang diperkenalkan Perdana Menteri memperjelaskan lagi keharmonian hidup kepelbagaian kaum di negara ini, semua rakyat menikmati apa sahaja yang diperjuangkan oleh Barisan Nasional berbeza dengan pembangkang yang dilihat lebih menjurus kepada sesuatu pihak sahaja.
“Isu rasis yang dibangkitkan oleh pembangkang itu adalah untuk menutup kelemahan mereka terutamanya kepada DAP yang dilihat lebih menjurus kepada kaum bukan Melayu berbanding dengan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional yang tidak pernah meminggir mana kaum atau agama,” katanya ketika diminta mengulas dakwaan pembangkang yang menuduh UMNO sebagai rasis.
Mazlan berkata, seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Timbalan Presiden UMNO di majlis perasmian serentak Persidangan Wanita, Pemuda dan Puteri UMNO 2012 bahawa politik rasis adalah kepada mereka yang hanya mengutamakan kepentingan kaum sendiri dan menzalimi kaum-kaum lain dan parti yang mendakwa tidak berasaskan kaum boleh jadi amat rasis jika ianya zalim kepada kaum lain.
“Perkongsian kuasa yang dilaksanakan oleh UMNO sejak dahulu telah diterima pakai oleh semua kaum di negara ini, sebab itu ada kaum lain yang boleh menjadi pemimpin negeri seperti di Pulau Pinang ketika Barisan Nasional berkuasa dahulu apabila Ketua Menterinya dari kaum Cina.
“Bukan sekadar politik, kaum lain juga berpeluang untuk menikmati perkongsian dalam bidang ekonomi, pendidikan, kebajikan dan banyak perkara lain lagi. Pembangkang menyedari perkara ini tetapi sengaja menutup mata demi kepentingan politik sempit mereka,” katanya.
Menurutnya, pembangkang tidak seharusnya mempergunakan isu rasis ini untuk mendapatkan sokongan atau undi daripada rakyat kerana ia boleh mengundang suatu suasana tidak sihat sedangkan kerajaan Barisan Nasional tidak pernah menganak tiri mana-mana kaum walau di mana mereka berada.
“Pelbagai bantuan dan kemudahan yang diberikan oleh kerajaan turut dinikmati oleh semua kaum, ketika penbentangan Bajet 2013, Perdana Menteri mengumumkan semua kaum dan lapisan masyarakat layak untuk menerima apa sahaja bantuan dan kemudahan yang disediakan tanpa mengira parti yang mereka sokong.
“Sebenarnya apa yang cuba dilakukan pembangkang itu lebih kepada kepentingan politik tanpa menyedari apa yang cuba dilakukan itu boleh memberi kesan kepada keharmonian hidup kepalbagaian kaum yang sudah tersemai dan terjalin sejak sebelum merdeka yang diasaskan oleh UMNO,” katanya
Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berkata kerajaan akan mengubah dasarnya dari masa ke masa agar ia adil kepada semua orang tidak kira latar belakang kaum dan agama mereka.
Perubahan dasar yang selaras dengan konsep 1Malaysia adalah untuk membina suatu ekosistem yang membolehkan rakyat mencapai potensi maksimum mereka berdasarkan kebolehan masing-masing dan menyumbang ke arah mencapai visi untuk menjadikan negara ini satu bangsa yang besar dan maju pada masa depan.
Kita mahu memastikan bahawa dasar kita adalah adil kepada setiap warga Malaysia,
Beliau berkata kerajaan mahukan masa depan negara ini berlandaskan pada hubungan baik di kalangan rakyat pelbagai bangsa dan agama hingga mewajarkan perubahan dasar itu dan kerajaan mahu rakyat menganggap yang ia adalah milik mereka semua.
Beliau menggesa rakyat menyertainya dalam perjalanan melakukan transformasi ke arah mencapai masa depan yang lebih baik dan lebih cerah sebagai sebuah keluarga besar di bawah semboyan 1Malaysia.
Timbalan Presiden Alhamdulillah, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin bahawa setelah berada di persada politik selama 66 tahun, UMNO telah membawa kemerdekaan selama 55 tahun.
Dan pemerintahan acuan negara sendiri telah mengubah keadaan dari kemunduran dan kemiskinan kepada kemajuan dan kemakmuran.
Hasil gabungan kebijaksanaan rakyat memilih pemimpin dan kebestarian pemimpin mengemudi negara, Malaysia kekal aman, makmur dan sejahtera.
Rakyat dari segala rentasan kaum dan agama hidup dalam suasana yang harmoni, tanpa persengketaan, tanpa kemusnahan.
Pada masa yang sama, pentadbiran kepimpinan UMNO telah berjaya melonjakkan negara ke arah kemajuan dan melakar masa depan yang meyakinkan.
Semuga impian untuk membina negara Malaysia yang berjaya dari Perlis hingga ke Sabah tercapai.
UMNO terus komited untuk membela semua bangsa.
Usahawan-usahawan Melayu dan Bumiputera akan terus diberikan peluang untuk mendapat manfaat limpahan ekonomi yang sedang pesat berkembang.
Hari ini, dengan pelbagai inisiatif yang diambil oleh kerajaan menerusi agensi-agensi yang diwujudkan untuk memperkasa agenda Bumiputera, pegangan ekuiti Bumiputera telah meningkat dari 2 peratus pada tahun 1970 kepada 23.09 peratus pada tahun 2010, dengan nilai sebanyak 167.7 bilion ringgit.
Sepanjang 66 tahun UMNO memperjuangkan Melayu dan Islam, UMNO tidak pernah menganiaya mana-mana kaum. Inilah keadilan, dan kesaksamaan UMNO.
UMNO akan terus mengangkat suara Melayu di samping tidak melupai agihan keadilan untuk kaum-kaum lain seperti yang dituntut oleh agama.
Inilah komitmen dan janji UMNO dan Barisan Nasional.
UMNO dan BN akan sentiasa berusaha untuk mentransformasi negara, dan mensejahterakan rakyat tanpa perlu menggadai prinsip perjuangan yang murni.
Inilah bezanya antara kita dan pembangkang.
Tatkala pembangkang semakin terdesak untuk meraih undi dan merebut kuasa, mereka sanggup melakukan apa sahaja, termasuk menggadai prinsip moral, maruah bangsa dan kesucian agama.
Sabah is a practical and visible example of unity in diversity. Sabahans of all diverse ethnic groups are able to live, learn, work and play together in the spirit of 1Malaysia.
In fact the spirit of 1Malaysia has long existed in this ‘Land Below the Wind’.
All Malaysians not to take unity and harmony for granted but to make continuous efforts to promote, nurture and reinforce these vital prerequisites for the success and survival of Malaysia.
Unity in diversity is one of the hallmarks in multiracial, multi-religious and multicultural Malaysia.
The Rukunegara which was formulated in 1970 is our guide for nation-building and should be respected by all. It is a shared vision for national unity.
Its principles should always be upheld and practised for Malaysians must never take for granted the stability, peace and harmony that had been attained so far.
The Rukunegara, through its five tenets – Belief in God, Loyalty to the King and Country, Upholding the Constitution, Rule of Law, and Good Social Behaviour and Morality – have formed the principles of nationhood and these should be embedded in the young generation who are the future leaders.
Malaysians must be prepared to reduce their strong sense of ethnicity in order to achieve “Bangsa Malaysia” and they should start accepting each other as Malaysians regardless of race and religion.Malaysians of different ethnic origins must always be conscious of the need to have mutual respect for one another.
The process of establishing a united Malaysian nation in response to the first challenge of Vision 2020, was a continuous one and what has been achieved so far must be nurtured and reinforced.
