STAR IS NOT AN UMNO AGENT!






By : HASMIN AZROY ABDULLAH

KOTA KINABALU : We thank Abdul Rahman Dahlan for confirming Star is far from being an Umno agent, as rumours being spread by irresponsible parties.

It is good that Rahman, Sabah BN secretary, acknowledged Star's existence in Sabah is to dethrone his very own party Umno and replace it with a state party like Star. 

Nevertheless Star Wiramuda found it difficult to swallow Rahman's own interpretation of Sabah's special position in the formation of Malaysia Federation in 1963 and thereafter its autonomous rights.

We would like to remind Rahman that Tun Fuad Stephens once said in 1963 "Kami tidak mahu menyertai pembentukan Malaysia sebagai negeri ke-12, 13 atau 14".     

Even Tun Mustapha Harun, Sabah's Father of Independece, had at an Usno meet clearly said: "Kita tidak mahu kerajaan hanya bertukar daripada kerajaan British kepada Kerajaan Malaya".

Surely both leaders would not have said such important statements if the wishes were just to become the 12th and 13th state in a new Federation, as Rahman believes, that was established together by four nations -- Malaya Federation, Singapore, Sabah (then North Borneo) and Sarawak.
