KOTA KINABALU, MAY 31- Kudos to Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman as he’s finally got his priorities right. Politicians, particularly women opposition MPs, are a dangerous lot and all should be barred from entering the state.
Nurul Izzah Anwar, that hulking, terrifyingly homicidal MP for Lembah Pantai, is the first one to feel his righteous rage and rightly so. The audacity of the woman. What was she thinking? That she could just waltz into Sabah to celebrate Kaamatan with the locals in the spirit of 1Malaysia? Where did she get such ideas?
We completely agree with Musa here insofar as his thoughts about politicians go. Now if he could only take that extra step and apply the same thinking to himself and his colleagues in his Umno-led Barisan Nasional government too, paradise would be at hand.
But let’s not begrudge him his first kill. First things first; start with the opposition MPs and then move on to the millions of Malaysians, those troublemakers, who voted for them.
And while he’s at it, he should suspend the landing rights of AirAsia and any airline that has abused the privilege of being allowed to fly to Sabah by permitting any of the over 51% of opposition voters and sympathisers to travel on their aircraft.
That will teach them to mess with us.
Later perhaps Musa could follow up by welcoming as true Malaysians those who entered Sabah illegally … whoops, done that already. Perhaps the land set aside at the waterfront for an over-a-billion ringgit convention centre could be used instead for a squatter colony to house them.
Nurul, the daughter of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, could never have known when she was stopped by Immigration Department officials at the arrival gate of the Kota Kinabalu low-cost terminal and deported that she was opening up a whole new vista for Sabah.
The surprised look on her face when she was given her marching orders at the terminal gave her away. Apparently she didn’t know she was on a secret list of people who are to be given the VIP-quick-turnaround treatment by the state government.
Yes, yes, the state authorities were on their toes all right as the flight carrying this subversive extremist landed. Like a crack team of commandos, they turned her around and sent her back to where she came from on the next available aircraft.
Talk about prompt, efficient government service – here’s an example for all you naysayers.
Lead the way, Musa
No, she wasn’t frog-marched to the aircraft – a method of carrying a resisting person in which each limb is held by one person and the victim is carried horizontally and face downwards – which would have been quite a sight, but rather left calmly still wearing her most dangerous weapon – her smile.
The swift action shows Musa has kept his promise and taken the first steps to put Sabah on the right footing towards improving the quality of life in this poverty-stricken state early in his new term in office.
How’s that for a start in honouring BN election promises of focusing on the lack of basic development and other trivial matters?
In the meantime, can somebody please provide him with a list of names of all the opposition supporters in the peninsula so it can be passed on to our ever watchful Immigration Department officers?
Or perhaps you, you ungrateful malcontents over there, could do the right thing and make it easy for the Sabah BN government by voluntarily avoiding our famed hospitality? Is that too much to ask?
Stop it if you know what’s good for you.
Sabahans, think of all the benefits – less traffic, more parking space and hotel rooms of your choice always available year-round to name a few. Business people wasting so much time in the unrewarding task of counting the day’s take and worrying about taxes could close earlier, spend more time with their family and friends and either sharpen their snooker skills or learn card tricks.
For the government there are perks too. The constant demand for steady electricity and water supply would evaporate – presto, two problems solved.
All that land set aside for property development could instead be turned into oil palm plantations. Any unoccupied buildings and housing areas could be razed and the plots turned into more plantations. Think big – a plantation city – progress!
Lead the way, Chief Minister Musa.
