LDP regrets views on PR for M'sians painted wrongly

I think the LDP proposal is very appropriate as it's a fair attitude and policy in response to the contribution of fellow Malaysians from Sarawak and peninsula Malaysia.

It was the President, Datuk Joseph Pairin, fired the first shot by misleading the other components of BN as well as Pakatan Rakyat (PR).

Datuk Joseph Pairin accused the statement of Deputy President of LDP, Datuk Chin Su Phin, as giving away the sacred rights of Sabah people.

Following protest from PBS, there were Gerakan, PKR, SAPP who jumped aimlessly on saying that the state rights will be eroded should the law governing on this immigration control is abolished.

They have all been misled to believe that the LDP wanted to abolish the immigration law governing the granting of Permanent Residence (PR) to all Malaysians from other states, automatically.

It was like a concerted effort by these various parties to stir up, and confused the matter so that LDP is projected as a party not having the Sabahan at heart.

PBS has lately been labelled as a despicable party which has been engaging in very unhealthy tactics and strategy. Their style is albeit somewhat unethical and totally unbecoming to live with. They have been doing it in order to amass more political appointments, and subsequently more influences.

The way they achieve it was 'simply agreed' or 'supported' to anything the higher up wanted regardless of the political matter in question. For example, the Maju case in Kudat is a typical case of 'hurting' fellow component of BN by stabbing, and stepping on its partner's misfortune.

The proposed Khidmat hospital is another blatant, and blind loyalty support for the higher up regardless of whether the project is viable or not.

During its reign in the 80's, it virtually had done 'nothing' for Sabah, notably the Queen Elizabeth hospital would not be in its status today if the then PBS government worked closely with the central government.

By the time BN regained Sabah politic, it chose to remain 'silent' in order to 'heal' its 'wound' and 'regaining' trust from the higher up.

This strategy was somewhat effective in the present political structure and style of governance, as far as PBS is concerned.

However, since May 2009, the LDP and PBS has become intense rival in their quest for more political interests ever since the withdrawal of SAPP from BN in March 2009.
