Dullie to Mojigoh: Who are you helping?

Kota Kinabalu, May 12, 2010: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Supreme Councillor and Petagas CLC Chairman, Dullie Marie today referred the Putatan MP Datuk Dr Marcus Mojigoh's statement in the local papers as of a desperate man trying to wriggle his way out of the proverbial hole of fairy tales and concocted stories.

"It was actually Mojigoh who claimed "as a person who knows about positional fixing and international boundaries as well as the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)" that he can show Datuk Yong Teck Lee and Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan "anytime and anywhere". So, it was never a question of SAPP not being patient.

"Datuk Yong Teck Lee had on 4th May 2010 asked for the State to publish an official map of Sabah showing our maritime boundaries.

"As for the implication, nobody ever said anything about the Attorney General. By the way, who is the current State Attorney General? As reported that since the State cabinet was briefed twice, surely they have some opinion legal or otherwise. Can the State government disclose these matters? In addition, both SAPP's Sepanggar and Tawau MPs already filed in questions and motion for the coming Parliament session.

"Since this is a national issue that has a direct effect to the future Sabah's territorial boundaries, most concerned Sabahans want to know what really transpired and it should be made public.

"The Ex-Premier, Tun Ahmad Badawi said he did it, on his capacity as PM of Malaysia . As claimed by Tun Mahathir, Abdullah Badawai had surrendered the two blocks in exchange for the claim made by Brunei over Limbang, to which the Second Finance Minister of Brunei vehemently denied.

"Datuk Yong Teck Lee has directed several questions to both the Federal and State Governments and none of these questions has been furnished with any answer. Instead, Putatan MP Datuk Dr. Marcus Mojigoh has came out with statement trying to down play the seriousness of the matter. What Mojigoh seemed to be doing was trying to get Sabah people not to be overly concerned about the important issue of national boundaries and Sabah interest.

"Who is he helping? Mojigoh said he has got heart for Sabah , then show us your heart," said Dullie.

"As a Sabah MP, Datuk Mojigoh instead of raising concern for Sabah's interest had tried to mislead the public that Block L and M are purely watered areas and different from landed areas. At the same time he mentioned that 'those letters of exchange and related documents never say that these two blocks are within Sabah' apparently Mojigoh seemed to have knowledge about the exchange. He should now explain to the people of Sabah without delay, why wait till the Dewan to debate? Yet he was asking Datuk Yong Teck Lee to furnish the related documents.
