Sarcastic humour a mockery of Sabah S
tate Constitution
By: YB Datuk Dr. Jeffrey G. Kitingan
In their latest sarcastic humour by members of the Warisan Media 'troupe', they release pictures of myself and Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal.
He is to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia and i am to be the Chief Minister of Sabah.
While i see the sarcastic humour in such 'meme', but i do not agree with it especially since it insinuates that the Chief Minister of Sabah can be pluck out just like that until GE15.
Article 119 of the Federal Constitution provides that a citizen of Malaysia is entitled to vote in the constituency that he is a resident (or where he is an absent voter).
The same goes for the Prime Minister-ship. It should be for the people of Malaysia to elect their chosen representatives.
What Tun Dr. Mahathir failed to do was to call for a snap election when there was massive internal dispute between PKR and Tun Dr. Mahathir about the PM-ship.
Instead, he resigned which caused some pandemonium and the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong had to execute his duties accordingly.
Now, Tun Dr. Mahathir realizes that his chances of returning to power is slim so he decides to by-pass Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and endorse Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal as his choice as PM.
Sabahans are very well aware of how close the relationship is between Tun and DS Shafie. Wherever Tun goes, Datuk Seri Shafie will obediently obliged, like a puppet to its puppet master.
We can never forget what Tun Dr. Mahathir did to Sabah and now we are expected to fall for his political ambition in endorsing Datuk Seri Shafie?
How much more should Sabahans sacrifice for him? How much longer does Datuk Seri Shafie expect to hoodwink Sabahans?
Warisan should not deceive Sabahans into thinking I can be made Sabah Chief Minister upon Tun Dr. Mahathir and Datuk Seri Shafie taking back the Prime Minister-ship from Tan Sri Muhiyiddin.
That is very wrong and very disrespectful of each and every Sabahan rights as voters.
Furthermore, it is a blatant mockery of the Sabah State Constitution. When you take the voters rights away like how Warisan came to power, you destroy everything the State Constitution stands for.
Therefore Warisan should be ashamed of themselves for insinuating that i be made the Chief Minister of Sabah upon Datuk Seri Shafie fulfilling Tun Dr. Mahathir's 'hidden' ambition of returning to power.
