Sabahans are patriots, not traitors - SAPP KOTA KINABALU: Sabahans are not traitors, said Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee. Instead, he said, Sabahans are patriots who want to see a successful Malaysia that respects, recognises and uphold the letter, spirit and intent of the Malaysia Agreement 1963, without which there is no Malaysia. Sabahans are not the traitors. The traitors are those who give out MyKads to illegal immigrants, those fake sultans who want to claim Sabah as theirs and those extremists who divide Malaysia dangerously along racial and religious lines, he said in a statement yesterday. Yong, who is a former Sabah chief minister, was commenting on the warning from Home Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi of an imminent crackdown against alleged Sabah secessionists. I only hope that the Home Minister is not making another blunder like he did on the eve of the 13th general election early polling when he, as the then Defence Minister, accused but did not name three opposition politicians of being the masterminds behind the 2013 Tanduo intrusion. Up till now, he has failed to fulfill his promise to identify the three opposition politicians, he said. Yong also claimed that there was no apparent effort by the government to resolve the issues that drive some Sabahans to cry for separation from Malaysia. 03/09/2014 The Borneo Post
