HAJIJI knows that his stand to partner GRS-PH/PKR in the coming state election is a suicidal move.
He tried to justify it saying his priority motive is to build a strong relationship with Putrajaya.
One-layer, simplistic piece of thinking. Something I’ve come to expect of this CM.
I’ve not been a fan if KL for a ling time. They’re condescending, supremacist in more ways than they care to admit.
They are the ‘boss’ because the govt machinery is such that they always controlled the funding.
They consistently underplayed the fact that Sabah hasn’t been treated as an equal partner in the Borth of Malaysia.
Sabah always wanted good strong ties with KL because KL is the Federal govt.
But does KL ever desired strong ties with Sabah, or it only wanted a subservient obedient non-complaining Sabah leadership like the type exemplified by Hajiji?
Hello Mr Hajiji, please enlighten me what are the elements of your idea of a good state-federal relations?
Or are you just blur-blur saja?
Every CM before you discourses about state-federal relations and how vital they are.
Most of them cakap kosong only because the real issues impeding healthy state-federal relations are simply inconvenient to discuss in the open.
For example: Sabah rights, Sabah natives rights, that Sabah isn’t part of tanah Melayu
‘Melayu’ as a race was hardly present among the Sabah population before 1963, etc etc.
Supposedly ‘good’ state-federal relations over the decades has not been translated into even development.
We are still the poorest state in Malaysia, with laughable infrastructure, schools and living standards.
Are these the reasons Hajiji wants me to believe that KL ought to be our partners?
Are you stupid or on drugs or something?
While Hajiji and gang are trying to win me over, I see the stink and the incompetence emerging from the mineral licencing scandal.
What filth is going down?
All of a sudden, the death of a sweet little teenager at a religious school blew open with the whole state suddenly engrossed in conspiracy stories implicating personalities in high places and allegations of attempts to conceal foul play.
Remember that strange ‘denial’ from a very lofty public office?
Remember how an apparently case of ‘accidental death’ got its investigation moved, unusually, to a higher jurisdiction?
We’re surrounded by stink and rot.
