“STAR Sabah is pleased to
clarify that the Party is qualified to contest in PRU-13, both in State DUN and
Parliament seats, nationwide as confirmed by the SPR Sabah Director at a
meeting with the SPR yesterday. STAR is
also listed in the approved political parties qualified to contest in PRU-13,”
announced Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah at a Press
Conference held to announce STAR’s stand on the Sabah Land and NCR issue.
The meeting with the State
SPR was arranged to seek clarifications from the SPR following the unfounded
rumours being spread by other desperate political parties against STAR Sabah
following its meteoric rise in support from the people in Sabah and growing
base in Sarawak.
STAR is being targeted by
these rumours and political parties so as to deflect their dwindling support as
well as their inability to answer to the empowerment and enlightenment of the
people on the real issues, formation of Malaysia, the down-grading from equal
partnership status to a mere 12th and 13th states in Malaysia, marginalization
of the people in Sabah and Sarawak, lop-sided revenue taking by the federal
government and 95% of the oil revenue by Petronas and the neo-colonization of
the Borneo States as diligently spread by STAR through their Borneo tea
parties.
Although STAR is qualified
and entitled to contest even seats in the Peninsular, the Party will focus on
their core support areas in Sabah and Sarawak and do not intend to contest in
the Peninsular.
The Party is fully prepared
to contest in the PRU-13 and have launched its election machinery in many of
its core areas although efforts are being made to team up with the other
opposition parties to ensure a 1 to 1 contest with the Barisan Nasional.
Even in areas that STAR does
not plan to contest, the election machinery in those areas will ensure that the
support for STAR will be thrown behind the united opposition to topple the BN
federal and state governments.
“As the Party has also
signed the Integrity Pledge with Transparency International – Malaysia,
announcements will be made soon on the seats the Party plan to contest” added
Dr. Jeffrey.

ReplyDeleteHe's not going to win. No guarantee after you have been recognised by the EC, will turn out to be a magic moment.
ReplyDeletePBS Sec Gen Henrynus said the party"s election machinery is prepared to ensure a win for BN in the coming 13th GE
ReplyDeleteDon't be too complacent Jeff. You hard to know what will happen on that day.
ReplyDeletethe opposition were just making promises on paper and they will not be able to deliver.
DeleteSTAR won't shine though in the coming GE.
ReplyDeleteOpposition have no commitment nor power to implement them and the people must be wary of such promise makers
DeleteI don't think Star will win majority during the 13th GE
