What is the Message from SAPP action?

It came out in the open---- in most of the daily newspapers, reporting the action of SAPP leader Datuk Seri Yong Teik Lee.Datuk Yong seems to suggest a motion of no-confidence against the PM in this coming session at the Parliment. Though it sounded like an act of opposition to BN team spirit, but if we consider deeper into it, it is a demand of correcting the wrong in the past and returning to Sabah what is rightfully belonging to Sabah. Datuk Yong was reported to ask for the 20% oil royalty for Sabah and the return of Labuan to Sabah, as well as demanding action against the illegal immigrant problem in Sabah.

All that the BN government needs to do is to face the issues justly, and correcting the wrong of the past. It has nothing to do with losing the two-third majority, nor has it anything to do with the demand for our PM to quit. It is more to do with the desire of our PM wanting to be a PM for all Malaysians and desiring to hear the truth.

If this is handled well, it will strengthen the coorperation and unite all the component parties in BN. What is needed is to come to the round table and work it out. Just give a direct call to Datuk Yong and request him to hold on about the motion. Only if BN can learn to talk things out and not demanding on UMNO's supremacy, the rakyat will benefit from a reformed BN government.

I am sure the rakyat will only make a choice of change when it is necessary. However, if possible, I am sure the rakyat would prefered a truly democratic Malaysia, with a strong opposition monitoring the actions of the ruling party.

Stand steady, not waver, but be diplomatic in resolving inside matters. The rest of you, just hold your peace, and see how our Pak Lah lead BN through this small crisis.
