Warisan denies backed by illegals

Kota Kinabalu: Parti Warisan Sabah Treasurer-General Terrence Siambun categorically denied that the party is receiving support from illegal immigrants or Project IC holders in Sabah as alleged by Parti Cinta Sabah President Datuk Wilfred Bumburing. Siambun said Bumburing's statement is nothing more than a mere attempt to make himself a hero in his own constituency.

Siambun said this in response to the query made by Bumburing over the perceived silence by Warisan over the issue in relation to PTIs (illegal immigrants) in Sabah.

"I am of the opinion that Bumburing should have instead queried the National Registration Department and Election Commission whether there exist foreigners with dubious citizenship who will support or vote, not only Parti Warisan Sabah but all other political parties in the State, including Sabah BN component parties," said Siambun in a statement, Wednesday.

He said for Bumburing to issue a statement by relying merely on hearsay and rumour which he himself admitted to be the "people's perception" clearly depicts his mala fide intention to tarnish the image of Warisan through his own version of fake news.

Sabah revenue hits RM6.97 billion: Hajiji says GRS State Government may see full term

Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Government continued its momentum in managing the economy in line with the commitment and spirit of the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) when it posted record high state revenue of RM6.973 billion last year.

"I am now obliged to ask Bumburing who is he to know that Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal had not raised it since he (Shafie) comes from a district that has suffered so much from this problem.

"In fact, Bumburing was once the Deputy Chief Minister but what happened?

The State Government of which he was once Deputy Chief Minister should have solved it then because the State has power over immigration and registration of births.

"But only towards the end of his career and with no power at all, did Bumburing start making noise and tried hard to seek attention by attacking the leader of a party that has no power at all instead of the current Chief Minister and his Ministers.

"I reckon that it is rather unfortunate that Bumburing will never be part of the generation that will finally find the solution to this problem more so when the KDM, Bajau / Suluk, Chinese, Brunei and Sabahans from all ethnicity and creed will be working together to end this long outstanding problem once and for all," he said.
