Yong Teck Lee: "This is my promise to you, that our struggle continues and I will always be by your side"...."Trust and integrity of the leaders are fundamental to the future of a country or a government or, in our case, SAPP as a serious political party of the future"

This is the start, not the finish of our journey

SAPP president Yong Teck Lee accepts his first electoral defeat in 8 outings, and vows to continue his 'Sabah for Sabahan' struggle.

"Yes, this is my first defeat in Batu Sapi. But our party values number six as it means 'resilience'. You fall, and you get up again,"

"You will fight and fight until you win, until you achieve autonomy for Sabah and a better deal for Sabah."

2009 Mar 27 - Ministry said high costs due to high surcharges in Sabah

Ministry said high costs of materials due to high surcharges in Sabah

Kuala Lumpur, Mar 27, 2009: The Ministry of Transport denied that the high prices of goods in East Malaysia is tied entirely to the Cabotage Policy. The ministry was responding to Datuk Chua Soon Bui, Member of Parliament for Tawau during question time.

The ministry however, blamed the high surcharges in Sabah and Sarawak, the overall transportation cost including cost of logistics on land and cost of ports among others.

Chua had asked whether the Transport Ministry intends to review the Cabotage Policy for Sabah, considering prices of essential materials for the construction and manufacturing sectors in Sabah are 20-30% higher and has the Transport Ministry carried out any survey of the Cabotage Policy and its implications on the difficulties faced by the manufacturing sectors in Sabah.

The Transport ministry further claimed that the Cabotage Policy is practised by many other maritime nations in the world including advanced nations like Japan and United States of America. Several nations fully enforce the implementation of this policy whereby foreign ships are not allowed altogether to operate in the domestic waters of the concerned nation.

The Cabotage Policy had started to be enforced in the year of 1980 in Malaysia.
