I refer to your report Foreigners with ICs: Activist threatened.

I recently returned to Sabah having been away since 2001. I couldn’t believe how much Kota Kinabalu has changed. A city should change for the better but KK has changed for the worse due illegal immigrants.
Touching down on Jan 26, my happy and excited mood was ruined by the scenes that greeted me. I saw many street kids (speaking Filipino) loitering around the city and gambling on the streets in full view of the public. The worst thing was when I saw a local man shouting for help and chasing a thief.
The same night, my friend and I decided to have a drink and we managed to find one parking space near the pub. Right after we alighted from the car, a group of street kids surrounded us and asked for money if we wished to park our car there. Who are they to ask for parking fees? But we had no choice but to give them money since they were in a group and kept disturbing us.
When I talked to the local folk in KK, many said they were afraid to go out at night as the crime rate in Sabah was increasing by the year. They say most of the criminal ases are committed by the illegal immigrants. I believe them. In just one night, I saw many things in KK that I could not believe. Come to KK for a night and see for urself.
The number of illegals is increasing and they multiply very quickly. In my opinion, the signature campaign launched by activist Patrick Sindu is acceptable and I believe all Sabahans accept it. Do you think Sindu would have launched this campaign if the authorities had really done their job? If the situation was not critical, do you think Sindu would have launched such a campaign?
I want to ask my dear government: When are you people going to start taking action and be serious over this matter? Is action only going to be taken after the illegal immigrants have taken over Sabah? Our country were once invaded by the British and Japanese and I don’t want to see new history being printed saying that Sabah was once a free state.
I love Sabah and I love my country very much. I have always respected the government, but I feel you (the government) should do more by helping Sabah to solve this problem. These illegal immigrants will have a huge effect on our country. Save Sabah now please!

Baru-Baru ini saya terbaca satu surat dari rakyat sabah dari laman web MalysiaKini.com. Sebak bercampur resah rasa di hati. Begitukah keadaan di sabah sekarang???

"....I saw many street kids (speaking Filipino) loitering around the city and
gambling on the streets in full view of the public. The worst thing was when I

"..... a group of street kids surrounded us and asked for money if we wished to park our car there. Who are they to ask for parking fees? But we had no choice but to give them money since they were in a group and kept disturbing us. "

Memang keadaaan ini telah biasa kita lihat. Begitu juga keadaan di perhentian bas.....

"....they were afraid to go out at night as the crime rate in Sabah was increasing by
the year. They say most of the criminal cases are committed by the illegal
immigrants "

Hmm... Keadaan tidak-lah seteruk yang dinyatakan. Namun, Keadaan di Sabah bertambah teruk :(


Renung - renunglah Masalah Kebajiran PTI di sabah ....

SAVE SABAH NOW !!!!

SELAMATKAN ORANG HUTAN !!

Baru- baru ini Saya berjumpa dengan beberapa orang sukarelawan WWF dari England. Mereka datang jauh dari Negara barat untuk menyelamat dan membantu Salah satu spesis yang hampir pupus di Borneo - Orang Hutan (Orang utan).

"Did u know that orang utan just one gen different from we human kind?"
"Did u know Sabahan killing orang utan?"

Beberapa soalan yang dikemukakanya kepada saya. Namun, saya hanya dapat mengeleng-gelengkan kepala tanda TIDAK TAHU.

"I am shame to be Sabahan..."
Itu sahaja sempat saya luahkan....
