KOTA KINABALU: Pertubuhan
Pribumi Rakyat Sabah (Pribumi's) proposed that the State Government set up a
tribunal to look into native customary land rights in the State.
Its President Datuk Dr
Mohammad Jeffry Rosman on Saturday said a tribunal panelled by qualified people
is essential as it could assist natives who face such issues.
He said this after
presenting appointment letters to 26 members appointed as Pribumi's committee
members at the Sabah Oriental Hotel here.
On that note, he said
Pribumi's will make a courtesy call on Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman to
invite him as the guest of honour for their official launching which is set for
next month. The date has yet to be determined.
He said they will also
inform the Chief Minister of their plans to organise a huge gathering of
registered non-governmental organisations (NGO) and ethnic groups to be held in
Kota Kinabalu with the objective of supporting Barisan Nasional and to make
sure Barisan Nasional wins back the seats in Kota Kinabalu and Sri Tanjung in
Tawau
Pribumi's, Jeffry said, with
its tag line 'Ini Baru Lah Ngam' is a NGO which fights for the truth for native
Sabahans, adding that they aim to register 120,000 members by end of this year.
"We are in the midst of
spreading our wings at Parliament level before going to State level, beginning
with Tawau by end of this month, followed by Sook, Sepanggar, Lahad Datu and
Kudat," he said.
He also said Pribumi's will
continue to fight for the Federal Government's approval of the Saham Amanah
Rakyat Sabah as it could benefit the natives.
"If what we propose to
the Government gets approval, then we in Pribumi's comprising 15,000 members
pledge to support the Government and make sure they continue to govern the
country," he said.
On another note, he said
Pribumi's will not allow an inch of Sabah to be taken by terrorists and they
pledged to stand together with the Government and the security forces to
protect the country's peace and sovereignty. (ST)
