Yong Teck Lee Brings SAPP Out of The Toilet!!

SAPP to leave BN today?
The Borneo Post Press ( Wednesday, 18th June 2008)

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee is expected to make “a very important announcement” today that may influence the country’s political landscape.

According to a senior party official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the announcement to be made had been well thought out with the interests of the state and the people in mind.

However, he declined to divulge more details on the matter, saying “you just wait for the announcement tomorrow (today)”.

He claimed that the party would not be the ‘Lone Ranger’ in this case.

Yesterday, SAPP deputy president Datuk Raymond Tan denied that the party would leave the Barisan Nasional (BN).

He said the party had not discussed the matter and gave the assurance that SAPP would remain a BN component party.

On Sunday, Gua Musang Member of Parliament, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah of Umno, hinted that a BN party from East Malaysia might leave the coalition before the end of the month.

Meanwhile, a political observer said the purported announcement by SAPP today was probably just a rumour and it was left to be seen.

Its time for Yong Teck Lee to put the interest of the rakyat ahead of the Barisan Nasional agenda. What is the point to stick with Barisan Nasional if the people of Sabah are marginalized and exploited? UPKO and USNO should work together as an aborigine’s party to get the UMNO out of Sabah or else the people will remain in struggle politically and economically. I believe that Yong has the rakyat interest and not personal interest as per Pak Lah personal affirmation.

In fact, they don’t have to say their lost confident vote to Pak Lah. Why should they shoot a rabbit where there are group of deer. It may not become a warning sign for UMNO Sabah but it is needed to tell Pak Lah that he has lied to the Sabahan. Pak Lah not only lied to the Sabahan but to the whole Malaysian especially on the raising price of commodities such as fuel and food.
