Lain Kali Lah!

A Sabah opposition leader has urged the people in Sarawak not to vote Pakatan Rakyat and to hold on to its present mix of local-based parties to continue governing the state.

The Borneo Post reported State Reform Party (Star) Sabah chief Datuk Dr Jeffery Kitingan has said that Sarawakians should learn from Sabah’s experience to not be controlled by peninsula-based parties.

“My advice for Sarawakians is this; why should you support the opposition especially the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) which is all made up of peninsula-based parties? The people of Sarawak must learn from our (Sabahans) bitter experiences where most of our interests have been eroded away under the current government,” Jeffrey was quoted as saying.

He claimed the reason for his call to reject Pakatan is because the coalition does not have the people’s interest at heart.

Jeffrey also pointed out that Pakatan’s Buku Jingga was not specific in detailing its plans and policies for Sabah and Sarawak if the opposition coalition wins in the next general election.

Satu artikel tulisan Borneo Post (diambil kemudiannya The Mole), menarik perhatian pemantau media di HQ PKR. Nampaknya Jeff Kitingan bukan sahaja akan memberi masalah kepada PKR di Sabah, tetapi juga di Sarawak.

Di kalangan kepimpinan PKR tahu dan maklum, Jeff masih belum diberikan ‘saguhati dan pengeras’ untuk mendiamkan diri dan memberi sokongan kepada Pakatan Rakyat. Selagi tidak ada saguhati, jangan harap Jeff nak diam dan membisu.

Apa yang berlaku pada ketika ini memang memberikan double head-ache kepada Anwar dan PKR. Mahunya tidak, sementara hendak manage isu Yong Teck Lee, Bumburing, Lajim dan Jeff Kitingan – Winnie Juani (yang juga menjadi harapan PKR mendapat undi wanita di Sabah) juga sudah meletakkan jawatan.

Menurut sumber, Winnie tidak berpuas hati kerana ada tangan-tangan Semenanjung yang sibuk mahu mencatur politik Sabah (PKR) menjelang PRU nanti. Sebagai orang yang bergerak di akar umbi, tangan Semenanjung yang mengganggu urusan parti khususnya di Penampang adalah satu perkara yang tidak digemari.

Bro Anwar….LAIN KALI LAH!
