TENOM: Parti Bersatu Sabah
(PBS) Vice-President, Datuk Radin Malleh has apologised for his statement
calling for the return of Tenom parliamentary seat to PBS.
The Assistant Minister in
the Chief Minister's Department said the statement on August 18 was not made in
malice because he is still naive in politics.
"I have to be
realistic. In politics, there must be compatibility between leaders and the
people. I would like to quote Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman that we must
fight for the people wholeheartedly," said the Melalap Assemblyman at a
groundbreaking ceremony at Pekan Baru Melalap, here, Saturday.
Meanwhile, Tenom Member of
Parliament Datuk Raime Unggi of Umno said Radin's apology shows the unique
relationship between Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties.
"This positive
development will keep the unity in BN. As leaders, we sometimes say things that
have negative impact and must correct the mistakes," he said.
Raime urged all members of
BN component parties to concentrate on the coming general election and leave
the selection of candidates to the party leadership.
Tenom was a PBS stronghold
until 1999 general election when Radin lost to a BN candidate.
BN continued the winning
streak via Raime during the 2004 and 2008 general elections.
Permohonan maaf sebaik menyedari diri bersalah merupakan satu tindakan yang betul. silap2 kalau Radin Malleh tidak meminta maaf, seluruh PBS malah BN akan mendapat akibat buruk dari kenyataan beliau.
ReplyDeleteYang penting kerusi Tenom masih dipegang oleh komponen dalam BN dan bukannya pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteKami menantikan sama ada BN atau pembangkang berjaya menambat hati penduduk Tenom.
DeleteSebaiknya kita tunggu saja siapa yang akan menduduki kerusi itu nanti yang dipilih oleh pihak atasan.
ReplyDeletePastikan yang penting sekali BN mampu mempertahankan kerusi yang sedia ada itu dan merampas kerusi yang pernah dimenangi oleh Pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteUntuk mendapatkan semua itu perlulah memastikan kepentingan rakyat akan terus diberikan keutamaan.
ReplyDeleteSetuju, hak dan kepentingan rakyat harus diutamakan.
DeleteSaingan semakin ketara antara pembangkang dan BN. Ini juga menyebabkan Najib kerap datang ke Sabah.
ReplyDeleteParti komponen harus sebulat suara memperjuangkan yang terbaik untuk rakyat.
ReplyDeleteSabah masih tetap negeri deposit BN. Projek IC masih tiada perkembangan.
