UBA AGREED TO 'UBAH'!

Oleh : DATUK DR JEFFREY KITINGAN

AN INAUGURAL meeting to form a United Borneo Alliance (UBA) was held at a hotel here today between STAR, SAPP and USNO Baru. It was a successful meeting as we have agreed in principle on the concept of co-operation and alliance to face the general election.

SAPP, which was represented by one of its Deputy Presidents Amde Sidek, however would have to brief his party president and supreme council first for endorsement to be part of this alliance.

The meeting today was chaired by former Sorob and Kebayau (now Kadamaian) assemblyman, Datuk Ismail Gimbad, a neutral person.

UBA is an alliance or grouping of individually registered or established organisation that wishes to come together as allies or friends in the pursuit of a common cause, objectives or aims through an agreed mechanism or strategies based on agreed terms and conditions.

The common objective of UBA is to defeat the current UMNO/BN regime and, as a group, take over the government, whether State or Federal.

Membership is open to Sabah and Sarawak-based political parties, and autonomous Peninsular-based parties, while leadership is by consensus.

Our strategies are common identity, shared manifesto, sharing of seats, common campaign theme, shared programmes and a defined team structure.

There will be another meeting maybe in two weeks time.

    1. hoped the people of Sabah would not be easily duped by the opposition’s promises. Opposition good at talking and making empty promises but not in following up and acting on those promises.

      Delete
    2. Hope that the Sabahans will be able to make the best decision during the next General Elections.

    1. We are not sure what the UBA is capable of for the time being, we should observe further to see how the UBA can help fight for the people's rights.

    2. Semoga parti di Sabah ikhlas untuk membantu rakyat dan bukan mengambil kesempatan.

  13. Bagaimana dengan sokongan kepada parti ini? Mungkin jika dilihat seperti kurang sambutan dari golongan muda.

  14. Perjuangan UBA ini seperti apa yang BN perjuangkan juga. Maka kenapa perlu ambil parti yang tidak pasti kebolehannya lagi. Bagus lagi memilih BN yang kita tahu kebolehan mereka memerintah Sabah.

  15. Datuk Musa Aman dan pemimpin yang lain tidak akan goyah dengan kehadiran UBA Sabah ini. Kerana selagi BN dapat membuat yang terbaik kepada penduduk Sabah maka selagi itulah BN tetap akan menjadi pilihan dan relevan untuk Sabah.

    1. ya..PR juga pasti akan menentang UBA...dan ini akan membawa kepada pecahan undi pembangkang...BN sabah akan menang..

    2. Semua kena ubah. Strategi, misi, agenda, kerusi, fikiran dll.

  17. anyway, good luck to JK who underestimate local-based opposition party in this state by bringing another party from outside..

    ReplyDelete
  18. tapi masalahnya pembahagian kerusi...SAPP sudah menyatakan pendiriannya untuk bertanding 2/3 kerusi sabah dan ianya tidka boleh dikompromi...adakah JK setuju?

    1. Pengagihan kerusi harus dibuat dengan bijak supaya semua golongan bawah memberi sokongan.

  19. mungkin SAPP tidak akan menyertai UBA kerana jika ya maka Yong terpaksa melupakan hasratnya untuk menjadi KM sabah semula..

  25. Sejauh mana UBA boleh pergi? Persefahaman dan perjuangan menghala misi yang sama amat penting.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Our strategies are common identity, shared manifesto, sharing of seats, common campaign theme, shared programmes and a defined team structure.

    Jika ini menjadi kenyataan, satu permulaan yang baik untuk parti pembangkang.

  27. Pasti satu pertarungan yang hebat di PRU13 ini.

  28. Jangan pula bergaduh dan berpisar selepas rakyat mengundi mereka ni. Ini akan menyebabkan rakyat makin hilang keyakinan terhadap parti pembangkang.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Betul ke mereka ini ikhlas dan sanggup untuk bekerjasama. Masing-masing ada agenda sendiri, bukan senang untuk bergabung.
