A LOCAL veteran activist who was active with the now-defunct UNKO, Fredoline Edwin Lojingki, said he has had enough of increasingly UMNO-leaning Joseph Pairin Kitingan and PBS lately, now lost confidence in Pairin to continue leading, especially the natives.
Lojingki, 71, who claimed to be a close friend of Pairin and many in PBS at one time, alleged that PBS has deviated from its original struggle to safeguard the state and the people especially the Kadazandusun community.
"Pairin has been more and more detached from the aspiration of the grassroots, sometimes appeared to chose UMNO and self-interests ahead of the Sabahans, and i could not support such leadership anymore," he said in a statement issued here today.
Lojingki said Pairin's statement on the NCR today which was carried by local newspapers in which he said he would wait for Musa's leadership and Cabinet decision on the NCR issue as something not a right thing for a Kadazandusun Huguan Siou to say.
"The least Pairin could do was to state his own mind on the legal issue of NCR. Why must wait for Musa or the State Cabinet ? The reporters asked him for his opinion on the NCR legality and all he said was he would wait for the Cabinet to discuss, as if he and his party PBS have no opinion or stand over it. This is frustrating many people," he said.
Wishing his old friend good luck, Lojingki said he has decided to join Pairin's younger brother Dr Jeffrey in State Reform Party (STAR). "This is the time we must unite under a new leader, if not now, then when else?" he adding that only time will tell if he has made the right decision.
There is nothing we can do about members leaving a party, if their heart is not in it, just let them go.
ReplyDeleteYa ngam la tu. Tak perlu paksa diri kalau dah takda hati nak bersama dengan sesebuah parti. hihi
DeleteMereka yang sudah tiada hati, buat apa nak kekalkan lagi?
DeleteLebih baik berpisah jika tidak sehaluan.
Deleteterpulanglah pada individu jika ingin sangat keluar parti. itu haknya juga.
DeleteLojingki is not giving Pairin a chance to prove himself. The Sabah Chief Minister stated that the matter regarding the NCR land rights will be discussed in the state cabinet, Pairin might be waiting till then to raise his opinions.
ReplyDeleteBiasalah Green Sabah. Masing-masing nak tunjuk diri tu hebat hinggakan hilang kesabaran. Tapi biarlah, itu hak si Lojingki juga:P
DeleteJika Lojingki tidak mempercayai Pairin lagi, tunggu berapa lama pun tiada gunanya. Lebih baik jalan awal.
DeletePasti perkara tu masih lagi dibincangkan dan masih lagi mencari cara penyelesaian yang memberi kebaikan kepada yang terlibat
Deletewait for Musa's leadership and Cabinet decision on the NCR issue . This is part of the protocol in the government that needs to follow I guess. Think must give him time to prove himself. It is pointless to make enemy at this moment.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Betul tu. Lebih baik kurangkan musuh dan banyakkan teman supaya senang cari jalan keluar dari sebarang masalah:P
DeleteMusa dan kabinet pasti akan cari jalan untuk selesaikan isu NCR.

ReplyDeleteany matter must refer to the CM and cabinet.
Ini adalah hormat kepada keputusan KM, KM belum lagi membuat perbincangan bersama semua kabinet lagi, apa yang patut Pairin buat?
Deletepenyelesaian tentang isu NCR ni akan diputuskan oleh Kabinet. jadi, kena tunggu dan bersabar.jangan mengambil tindakan bersendirian.
DeleteWhat a "friend" pairin has. all i see now is that lojingki is simply making assumption about pairin. Neway good luck to Lojingki.
ReplyDeleteKita tunggu sajalah apa yang akan berlaku seterusnya. Selebihnya biar kita nilai sendiri.
DeleteKalau sudah tidak suka, apa saja yang Pairin buat akan menjadi kesalahan bagi dia.
DeleteDekat sudag PRU barulah banyak benda bekeluaran ni... Duii...
ReplyDeleteLompat parti memang budaya yang biasa dalam politik.
ReplyDeleteWishing his old friend good luck, Lojingki said he has decided to join Pairin's younger brother Dr Jeffrey in State Reform Party (STAR).
ReplyDeleteHarus menghormati keputusan beliau. Tiada baik atau buruk beliau menyertai STAR.
Masalah NCR tidak harus ditangguhkan lagi.
ReplyDeleteSemoga STAR dapat membuktikan bahawa mereka ini berkaliber dan berkeupayaan memperjuangkan yang terbaik untuk rakyat.
ReplyDeleteTidak semestinya kawan rapat keinginan sama. Pasti berbeza-beza.
ReplyDeleteMaka terpulang dengan jalan sendiri dan juga pilihan dihati. Tidak ada paksaan untuk mereka menyokong parti yang mereka tidak suka.
ReplyDeleteJoseph Pairin Kitingan telah melakukan yang terbaik untuk penduduk Sabah.
ReplyDeleteApa masalah kalau dia kawan rapat dengan Pairin. Sedangkan Jeffery sendiri adik kepada pairin pun tidak sehaluan apatah lagi cuma kawan rapat.
ReplyDeletebagi Lojingki, apa yang perlu Pairin cakap berkenaan dengan isu NCR?? adakah Pairin yang buat keputusan berkenaan dengan tanah? bukankah soal tanah itu tugas kabinet??
ReplyDeletemngkin juga maksud beliau, menunggu keputusan kabinet dahulu sebelum beliau boleh melakukan apa2 tindakan jika keputusan kabinet tidak menyebelahi rakyat..
ReplyDeleteisu tanah NCR ini bukan pertama kali di Sabah.. kenapa Lojingki tidak ambil keputusan meninggalkan PAS sebelum STAR ditubuhkan??
ReplyDeletekegagalan PBS dalam memperjuangkan hak orang Sabah bukanlah kegagalan Pairin seorang.. apa fungsi2 pemimpin seperti Lojingki dalam PBS?? sekadar menunggu habuan??
ReplyDeleteMenyalahkan orang lain lebih senang daripada mengakui kelemahan diri sendiri.
DeleteDon't worry, I believe he has more close friends than we ever thought.
ReplyDeleteBiarkan la, setiap orang mempunyai cita2 masing2.
ReplyDeleteNo big fuss about this.
ReplyDeleteLojingki may say what he wants. Not everyone will bother about it.
