Dari Perlis Sampai Ke Sabah Kucar Barai Habis!
Entah apa nak jadi dengan BN nanti
Masalah Najib lemah dalam menyelasaikan masalah atau ada hantu tukang atur di belakangnya?
Pairin ignores Najib’s list
KOTA KINABALU: Within a day of the Barisan Nasional coalition members announcing their pick for the May 5 general election, questions are being raised about whether they were reading from BN chairman Najib Tun Razak’s script.
It does not appear so and cracks are beginning to appear in the alliance three days before nomination on April 20..

Pairin ignores Najib’s list

The
PBS president has incurred the wrath of his grassroot PBS leaders after
it was leaked that the Najib-approved candidate list was tweaked at the
11th hour.
KOTA KINABALU: Within a day of the Barisan Nasional coalition members announcing their pick for the May 5 general election, questions are being raised about whether they were reading from BN chairman Najib Tun Razak’s script.
It does not appear so and cracks are beginning to appear in the alliance three days before nomination on April 20..
The
Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) candidates announced by its president Joseph
Pairin Kitingan yesterday was not the list finalised and approved by
Najib and has caused some cHabisonfusion in the party.
A
party’s leader told FMT that the list of candidates given by Najib to
all BN component party leaders in Kuala Lumpur on Monday was different
from the list read out by Pairin in Donggongon yesterday.
“The
changes might had been made during the PBS supreme council meeting in
the morning before the announcement was made to the media in the
afternoon,” a divisional leader said.
According
to the PBS’ released list, the Inanam state seat will be defended by
incumbent Johnny Goh, but this is contrary to the official list of
coalition candidates.
According to that list, Joseph Paulus Lantip, an unknown in the party, has been given the green light to contest for the BN.
The
party insider also disclosed that Pairin had declared incumbent
assemblyman Joachim Gunsalam would defend the seat for the BN though the
official list puts PBS secretary-general Henrynus Amin as the approved
candidate.
Over
in Kiulu, Sabah Journalist Association president Joniston Bangkuai, who
has yet to resign from his job, is said to have been on Najib’s list
but Pairin announced that incumbent Louis Rampas has been retained.
PBS in trouble
Telephone calls to Goh, Amin and Bangkuai for confirmation or comments went unanswered.
A check of Amin’s latest Facebook posting, however, indicated his anger at being left out of the PBS list of candidates.
The posting simply stated that “former secretary-general of Parti Bersatu Sabah” as his place of work.
An
Inanam PBS divisional senior officer, when contacted, said Goh’s office
was aware of the matter but the incumbent three-term assemblyman is
hoping to file his nomination papers this weekend despite the BN
leadership’s endorsement of Lantip.
“I
am not confident that Lantip is a winnable candidate even though he
might had been picked up by BN top leaders on recommendation by the
state government’s think-tank IDS [Institute for Development Studies],”
the officer said.
The
officer said without the assistance of Goh, it would be an uphill task
for Lantip to defend Inanam for BN against the Sabah Progressive Party’s
(SAPP) deputy president Eric Majimbun, the incumbent MP for Sepanggar.
In the 2008 general election, Goh won the state seat with a 1,686-vote majority in a four-cornered contest.
Daniel
John Jambun of PKR polled 4,293 votes, DAP’s Jeffrey Kumin (2,864) and
Independent Clafence Chin lost his deposit polling just 196 votes.
Meanwhile, the PBS Sepanggar division is having an emergency meeting tonight to discuss the latest development in Inanam.
Inanam comes under the Sepanggar parliamentary constituency, together with the state seat of Karambunai.
The
BN candidate for Sepanggar is new-comer Jumat Idris from Umno while
incumbent Jainab Ahmad, also from Umno, is defending her Karambunai
seat.
