Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat’s resignation as Sabah Deputy Chief Minister is “no real loss” to Barisan Nasional. With or without Kah Kiat, it makes no difference to the BN in Sabah.
This is the clear message from the public reaction of the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as reported by the Star today:
Chong’s exit not really a loss, says Abdullah
The resignation of Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat is “not really a loss” because it will not weaken the Barisan Nasional state government, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
The Prime Minister said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman had informed him of Chong’s intention to step down, saying he wanted to rest.
He added that there was no other reason than that given by Musa.
“So as far as I am concerned, he will get his wish. Let him rest,” he told reporters yesterday after launching the Conference to Improve the Delivery System of Government Services To Improve the Development Process As Well As Property Management.
Abdullah said Chong’s resignation was not unexpected because the latter had expressed his desire to step down a number of times.
On whether the resignation was a loss, Abdullah said; “Not really a loss in the sense that I don’t think the government of Sabah is going to be weakened with him not being around. But anyway we would like to say ‘thank you’.”
Has Kah Kiat become so irrelevant and inconsequential in Barisan Nasional and Sabah politics as to be shrugged off so ignominously by both the Prime Minister and the Sabah Chief Minister?
Kah Kiat had said that he was quitting the Sabah Cabinet “as a matter of principle” — implying basic and fundamental differences with the Sabah Chief Minister.
The media have reported that ties have been strained between the chief minister and his deputy for some time over numerous issues like Musa’s plans to develop Pulau Sipadan island off Sabah’s east coast, with Malaysiakini citing as ” the final straw” their differences over Kah Kiat’s proposal to build a huge statue of the Goddess of Mercy in Kudat as a tourist attraction.
Has Kah Kiat been reduced to such a cipher in the eyes of Abdullah and Musa that his “shock resignation” is dismissed with such contempt?
I have been informed that Kah Kiat’s resignation has whipped up “anti-Musa” sentiments on the ground in Sabah to an all-time high. Everybody seems to be talking about Musa’s greed and cronyism.
Sabah and Sarawak, under Chief Ministers Musa and Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, are monopolizing media attention in a manner which are not in the best interests of the state or the nation.
The administrations of both Sabah and Sarawak stand as affronts and total mockery of Abdullah’s pledge of anti-corruption and the National Integrity Plan.
Is the Prime Minister so helpless and impotent after an unprecedented landslide 91% sweep of the parliamentary seats in the 2004 general election?
Then, next question, who is or are the important ones ? In this case you do not need a deputy chief minister which means his salary can be used for more important works in Sabah or his salary for the one who matters.
Taib and Musa have amassed phenomenal fortune in their respective state.Their greed and corruption is unprecedented.But like Machap, the people deserves what they elect.The people put them in office and if they want a change theywill have to vote them out..otherwise the people of the two states should just sit back and watch the two politicians plunder the state timber resources.
To all Sabahans and Sarawakians, it is high time to wake up and to remove all hyenas in your respective states.
How can you tolerate such animals daylight robbing all your assets for so long?
Do you realize both your states are among the poorest in all the states in Malaysia now?
Do you know how much royalty Acheh of Indonesia is getting from their crude oil and natural gas reserve? How much are you guys really getting?
When Kah Keat was the Chief Minister of Sabah, he arrested thousands of Philippine and Indonesia illegal immigrants and sent them home.
Guess all such illegal immigrants are celebrating now.
Guess soon there will be another flooding of illegal immigrants coming into Sabah!
“…as “ the final straw†their differences over Kah Kiat’s proposal to build a huge statue of the Goddess of Mercy in Kudat as a tourist attraction.”
Kah Kiat’s proposal to have a statue of the Goddess of Mercy built from the use of public funds besides going against the grain of the language used in the Federal Constitution viz. Islam is the religion of the federation is unconstitutional.
“But like Machap, the people deserves what they elect.The people put them in office and if they want a change theywill have to vote them out..” Rciahrd Teoh
The comparison to Machap is ill conceived. In the case of Machap the constituents have economically prospered under BN.
I wonder where would Sabah and Sarawak be if, like Singapore, they had left the union of Malaysia and went solo or joined Singapore.
Kah Kiat said he would reveal the reason of his quit if challenged. So, now is he challenged to make good his principle?
He owes us the truth. We want to hear from the horse’s mouth, not rumours. Only then will I respect him for being a man of principle despite his past.
LKS quotes Pak LAh:
“Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat’s resignation as Sabah Deputy Chief Minister is “no real loss†to Barisan Nasional.”
TRUE.
Neither is the loss of Pak Lah any REAL loss to BN.
Neither is the loss of NAJIB any REAL loss to BN.
Neither is the loss of Ong Ka Ting any REAL loss to BN.
Neither is the loss of Samy Vellu any REAL loss to BN.
Neither is the loss of Koh Tsu Koon any REAL loss to BN.
Neither is the loss of Taib Mahmud any REAL loss to BN.
Neither is the loss of Musa Aman any REAL loss to BN.
BUT
The loss of ANWAR IBRAHIM would be a REAL loss to MALAYSIA.
The loss of LIM KIT SIANG would be a REAL loss to MALAYSIA.
The loss of KARPAL SINGH would be a REAL loss to MALAYSIA.

FINALLY:
The loss of BN would be NO REAL loss to BN or to MALAYSIA!
Allow me to DIGRESS this bit. Just read this from Harold Pinter, Nobel Laureate for Literature 2005. Would have posted it if I had seen it earlier when LKS etc. were blogging on Altantuya.
Dedicating this ‘POEM’ entitled DEATH to the bereaved parents of Altantuya.
Also, dedicating this ‘POEM’ to Razak Baginda, Najib Razak, Rosmah Najib, the 2 accused Policemen, the Police woman and the POLICE FORCE.
DEATH
Where was the dead body found?
Who found the dead body?
Was the dead body dead when found?
How was the dead body found?
Who was the dead body?
(REMARK: At that time Harold Pinter didn’t know I was going to dedicate this, his poem, to Altantuya & FRIENDS).
Who was the father or daughter or brother
Or uncle or sister or mother or son
Of the dead and abandoned body?
Was the dead body dead when abandoned?
Was the body abandoned?
By whom had it been abandoned?
Was the dead body naked or dressed for a journey?
(REMARK: Will ask Harold Pinter for an additional line to read:
‘Was the dead body blown to bits?)
What made you declare the dead body dead?
(REMARK: HEY, HAROLD, did I have a choice?)
Did you declare the dead body dead?
(REMARK: No, the coroner finally did.)
How well did you know the dead body?
(REMARK: Introduced by Raja Petra Kamaruddin, alas, after she was dead.)
How did you know the dead body was dead?
(REMARK: What do you say if the brains and lungs were missing?)
Did you wash the dead body (REMARK: I would if I could)
Did you close both its eyes (REMARK:I heard they searched in vain)
Did you bury the body (REMARK:There was no-body left to bury)
Did you leave it abandoned (REMARK: No, the policemen did)
Did you kiss the dead body (REMARK: No. Some ass did before it was dead).
Harold Pinter, 1997.
Thank you, Harold, for starting the train of thoughts. Whilst it lasted, I grieved, ached and mourned for Altantuya, her parents and her baby.
No big deal lah.
Even Mr Ong Kah Ting and Semi Value go, there would be no loss at all too. Even Mr Lim Kheng Yik has gone, nothing loss.
So, what is so big deal to them (UMNO)? 1.2 million Malaysians (mostly non bumi) in overseas – no big deal. Malaysia still could build long bridge in Asia, tallest building in the world, modern KLIA and Putrajaya, etc.
To them, no big deal lah because Malaysia boleh and with money, experts and consultants could always be bought for Malaysia.
ha-hA, at last one “Jantan” decides to stand up and be counted!
I admire TanSri Chong Kah Kiat’s guts to come forward to do what he has to do and have the bola to stand up to his boss, Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman. Good for you TanSri!
Can we expect to find more “Jantans” to stand up and be counted?
““I wonder where would Sabah and Sarawak be if, like Singapore, they had left the union of Malaysia and went solo or joined Singapore.†Ron
Sabah and Sarawak were then under British rule and there were negotiations with Britain then about the possibility of independence for these two British protectorates. The Brits fearful of a land grab by neighboring Indonesia and perhaps by the Philippines of its territories (there were unsettled territorial disputes), would only agree to granting political independence on condition that they join a larger federation with Malaya and Singapore. The incorporation of these two former British protectorates in a new federation to be called the Federation of Malaysia attracted as predicted claims of neo-colonialism by Indonesia.
Would Sabah and Sarawak, if left on their own, have withstood the policy of military confrontation by Indonesia under President Sukarno in the 60s? I doubt it.
Singapore did not leave the Federation of Malaysia on its own will. Its departure from the Federation was ‘facilitated’ by events then. The Tunku was widely criticized for that.
Could Sabah or/and Sarawak secede from the Federation today? Would not Sabah and Sarawak be in the same position as the State of Kelantan which tried to secede unsuccessfully from the Federation?
Such word coming from the mouth of the PM, “no real loss” is a total smack on the face of CKK. He has been a loyal politician to the BN for 30 years and I hope CKK will out of principles, will tell all. Anyway this is the result to show how the Chinese can be fooled easily, the rotation is only for a few years and when UMNO gains absolute power, this is the result. Lets hope and pray that the same will never happen in Penang as the were sign of similar suggestion.

I am flattered and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and am no longer able to contain my emotions. I have, therefore, decided to return to Malaysia to offer my services as political strategist to the DAP/PKR – for free.
“But like Machap, the people deserves what they elect.” – Richard Teo
Do not insult the people of Machap, please.
How are you lot in the Opposition gonna win the people over when you go all bitter with defeat?
“I have, therefore, decided to return to Malaysia to offer my services as political strategist to the DAP/PKR – for free.” – undergrad2
Ahhh … another great potential candidate for the Opposition.
Why political strategist?? Why dont you step up to the plate and contest in the next election?
No real loss. He is not on the take, that’s his loss. Only those who are corrupted and wants to turn over a new leaf will be a loss to BN.
WAKE UP LA! He is not on par with those on the take upto ber-beli-yon beli-yon.

What Real World said is perfectly true. We deserve what we elect. I don’t take it as an insult. It just happen to be a blog belonging to an opposition leader. I have always argued that the rakyat is to be blamed but not the politicians. We are stupid.
What the PM said is perfectly true. There is no loss. And that’s a fact. You must not do what you like. You must like what you do. One chinese minister resign, there will be another sucker to take up the position. So what loss are we talking about? You can’t fight the majority. Is the chinese people going to do anything about it. I don’t think so. Just prove me wrong. I like to see that.
ABB,why must you treat us like shit?Don’t you feel malu in the eyes of the whole world?You are the leader of a nation,must we remind u?Now CCk is no use to you,nexttime will be who?OKT,LKY,Samy LULU..You all BN kaki bodek really got no dignity to be humans.I really wish every now and then 1 YB or YAB will kick the bucket then only they will think about service to the rakyat.
You are brewing a time bomb ,,,AAB do you realise that?
“I have always argued that the rakyat is to be blamed but not the politicians. We are stupid.”
On a scale of 1 to 10 how would rank the average Malaysian voter?
In a democratic system, the majority is by definition right. So the minority voters will have to ‘suck it in’ and accept the result of the Machap elections.
Unless of course we want to change from democracy to fascism. Fascism is hinged on the belief that leaders are born and the majority is not always right, is ill informed and needs to be led by leaders who are more capable, better informed and know what is good for the masses and have the leadership skills to do so.
Malaysian voters prefer peace and stability. So they always go for Barisan candidate whether they are good or bad, corrupted or not. They want to make a living. As long as their livelihood is not sffected, they will vote for the Barisan. The candidate is fixed by the party. The former PM hes been telling the people to vote for the party and not the person. The people apparently bought the idea. Because of the media blackout and the lack of evidence, all the candidates put up by the Barisan are good candidates. I am not surprised even some voters do not know who they are actually voting for. So generally speaking, the Malaysian voters do not go for personality. They go for the party or the race of the candidates. Of there there are many individuals who knows who is who. But how far can they go?
Undergrad2 says:

Before you get all emotional, flattered and overwhelmed – just remember YB LKS will be monitoring your pledge! BTW, DAP needs more foot soldiers…and you can start by getting off your bottom and on to your feet. Once you have proven u are neither lame or tame, you will be considered for the position of Brigadier General with ressponsibility for STRATEGY. Whatever happens, remember you will not be reimbursed for coming back to VOTE.
P/S: can u bring back some of yr US$ for DAP to spend on campaign expenses like flags, banners and mundane things. We aren’t even talking about handouts here. Don’t expect you to be able to match BN’s corrupted mega millions/billions since I don’t recall UNDERGRAD2 being listed amongst FORTUNE’s multi-billionaires.
Need a treasurer?
“I have always argued that the rakyat is to be blamed but not the politicians. We are stupid.” – MY VIEW
The rakyat is not stupid. You just need to understand that it is a buyer and seller situation. They offered some Felda lands, built some recreational park, re-premixed some roads, installed some street lights etc and the rakyat gave them their votes.
Hey, Kayveas, are you now finally getting the message? If you were to leave the BN (a big IF), you are also no loss to AAB. Already MCA and MIC are taking the crumbs thrown from the table. The PPP have to settle with the leftovers of the crumbs??? Come on, man, have one iota of pride in you before the same thing is said about you the man himself. “Ouch!”, then it will really hurt.
THE REAL REASON FOR CKK’S RESIGNATION– TOLD OFF BY MUSA
http://bolehtalk.blogspot.com/2007/04/sabahs-blessing-in-disguise-by-kuan-yin.html
The people of Machap has recently committed political suicide by election the BN candidate.
That, however, is just the tip of the iceberg.
There are no lack of Malaysian voters like those in Machap.
I think that the end is nigh!
So, Uncle Lim, what are we (including you) to do?
Kasarism says you are worthless ! The worst is when the Prime Minister said that it was just a matter of time before Tan Sri Chong submitted his resignation. Do you know what it really mean when it comes to the psychology aspect of a person ? It is just like saying we know your reasons, we will not help you and we are waiting for you to resign. And we will not feel shocked if you do resign. It is just pathetic and even cruel. It is like pretending to allow him the post and yet he is not functioning fully in his capacity. Who are you fooling anyway ? You might think you fool him. But actually you are also fooling yourself. What ?! You have fools for your cabinet ? !
In fact PM meant “Good riddance” to Chong. PM is pleased with himself and confident of his leadership, especially after the Macap by-election in which a large majority of the voters declared their undying love and support to the BN government – carry on, you do no wrong, everyting is OK, no need to change.
Screw the opposition parties – just a bunch of irritants of no consequence that make noise in the cyberspace, blog, ceramah, and parliament.
Coming soon, PM will also declare that the departure of Penang Chief Minister Tan Sri Koh is not really a loss and will not weaken the Barisan Nasional state government.
CKK should not have resigned. Since they treat him like a mozzie in a mosquito party he should have buzzed around their great big ears and force them to dismiss him. Unlike the exDPM, his own sacking would not have been a great loss to himself.
aab only responds to petitions that have no “problems”. ( that’s why Kit”s highlight of timber corruption is not recorded by the incompetent . So try some positive petitions – like “hey aab malaysia’s corruption index can be improved by doing so and so…” )
obviously bn does not recognise ckk’s effort.if ckk really cherishes his principles he should join some opposition and spill the beans.
Agree with Jong……..at least, he is a jantan!
Now the challenge is to convert the ” jantina” into ” jantan ” to stand up for what is good for the country and her ordinary people.
If CKK who was one of the key members in Abdullaha’s BN team is no loss, then by extension, there must be many more members in his team who are equally no loss to BN if they were to leave.
Looks like this PM does not take kindly to men with principles since he is not one in that league. He seems to be sympathetic with those who have corruption allegations thrown at them.
If you stop to analyze what was said by both Musa and AAB, you will realize that CKK was a thorn in their back. They wanted to get rid of him and were happy to see him resign and go. They will be slapping each other silly on the back for their success in driving out CKK.
Otherwise the decent thing to say would have been something to the effect, “his departure after so many years of loyal service comes as a shock, but we appreciate his personal reasons for leaving —either due to health or family reasons.” He will be offered position in …XYZ… befitting someone of his experience and stature. But no….nothing…zilch! Makes it definately look like a sour falling out.
Now comes the opportunity for even greater rape of Sabah. I hope Sabahans are ready for the AAB and Musa team to “develop” Sabah.
Anyway, I hope all of these actions, as well as the NON-ROTATION of CM’s post after promising to do so, will open the eyes of the rakyat there (and elsewhere) as well as the other component BN parties in Sabah (and elsewhere) for them to act wisely in the coming GE.
YB Lim, you need to go on an active recruitment drive in various parts of the country. This may be an opportunity to increase the DAP membership.
If Chong Kah Kiat is no great loss so is practically all non-bumiputras in this country. That is the message. Think of it. Otherwise why would Nazri, the PM’s hatchet man, say those leaving are like ‘ants going to sugar’…
I still believe this PM is at the heart a good man who don’t mean malice but the issues are bigger than his mind can comprehend and his soul can manage.
If a good man like him have such a scared soul within him, what lurks in lesser men all around him and the entire UMNO/BN machineries.
Remember what happened in Sarawak and the post-election comment that he thought something was wrong even before? He will repeat the same message after Sabah next GE.
The country needs hard working and enterprising ants that go after sugar – wherever they are.
Not ants that wait for sugar to be served to them.
Penang CM can go. MCA president can go. MIC president can go. UMNO president also can go. Everyone is dispensable for the better benefit of the majority for the sake of more money to be squeezed from rakyat. Squeezing dry the people’s money. Raping clean the environment.
Actually, all of them can go without causing a dent. We do not really miss them. Do we?
Putting it mathematically, “NO REAL LOSS TO BN” can mean any one of 3 things to MALAYSIA:
“NO REAL LOSS TO BN” = “STATUS QUO TO MALAYSUA” or “REAL LOSS TO MALAYSIA” or “REAL GAIN TO MALAYSIA”
FACT is :
‘Losing Pak Lah, Najib, Musa Aman, Koh Tsu Koon, Taib Mahmud, Ong Ka Ting, Chan Kong Choy, Samy Vellu etc…etc.. and the entire BN Team
= REAL GAIN TO MALAYSIA!’ (PROVEN/ Q.E.D.)
So all earlier postings should be read against this precise mathematical computation. AAB is fudging again as usual when he said ‘No real loss to BN’ which is too ambiguous and incoherent.
Ong Ka Ting would agree. AFfter all, he used to be a not-so-good Maths teacher and should probably go back to teaching to brush up his skills.
no great loss if proton go to the sampah tong.
no great loss if our forest becomes botak
no great loss if we tore all historical buildings
no great loss if………………..
siapa senang rupa?
If YB’s Kit, Karpal, Tan Seng Giaw, Fong Po Kuan, Lim Guan Eng, Nik Aziz quit, it would be a real loss. Not like loss of MCA or MIC or even UMNO president, or any state CM.
The biggest let-down to the nation is the Prime Minister himself. He’s the country’s most powerful ceo yet has he not delivered the promises of 2004 General Election and the people put their trust in him.
His HP6 government is a real disgrace – his ministers are fighting among themselves, finger-pointing at every angles – such show of poor leadership; corruption has never been worse in the country’s history – his ministers are accused of receiving money in tens of millions of ringgit and the guy he put incharge of corruption is a big suspect himself. Religious intolerance leaves much to be desired, the country’s so polarised and skin color is a big and sensitive issue.
We should be celebrating a joyous 50 years of independence come August 2007 yet we find ourselves in such a pathetic situation. What a shame!
Mr Prime Minister, you have disgusted many, you have become too arrogant and ungrateful towards those who have supported you through thick and thin and stop burying your head in the sand. Look around you, be real then turn your eyes inwards, it is YOU who fail us.
Time you GO too, no great loss !!!!!
Sdr Lim
Can Saudara, with your many decades in politics, explain to us, where else in the democratic world, that have a “rotation system” like that in Sabah. – The Rape of Sabah. I sympathize our Sabahans + Sarawakians friends. With a stroke of the pen, Sabahans had their political rights manipulated to merely endorsing rather that having real power as citizens to elect + to self determination.
I read with interest the comment from UNDERGRAD2, reagrding the principle behind the forming of MALAYSIA. This part of history had been totally changed or not properly delivered to Malaysians as a whole. Altered to suit the liking of those in power.
To my understanding, The Federation of Malaysia = Malaya (1 party), Crown colony of Singapore (1 party), Crown colony of British North Borneo aka Sabah (1 party) + Crown Colony of Sarawak (1 party). In another word, Malaysia is form out of 4 individual political entities. Thus Kelantan does not have the same rights as say Sabah or Sarawak. Because Kelantan technically is only 1/9 of Malaya, which in turn Malaya is only 1/4 of Malaysia.
Let us explore some of the legacies that still remains till today, out of this marriage:-
1) There is a Chief judge of Malaya + there is a Chief judge of Sabah + Sarawak.
2) Technically, Peninsula Malaysians still have to be register before landing in Sabah + Sarawak. I can go to Kota Bahru for nasi dagang, to work + to stay. I don’t even have to inform my mother if i chose to. On the other hand I can’t seek employment in say Kota Kinabalu without approval. This is to protect the Bumis there ,being sideline by citizens from Peninsula.
3) There was a contract between Malaya + Sabah + Sarawak, that there should be a political divide between them. Thus UMNO, MCA, MIC etcs, only move into those 2 states lately. They have their own parties, that was also not allowed to participate in Peninsular politics. To name a few Berjaya, Berjasa, PBS,Snap + many more.
4) Singapore had a different agreement with Malaya. Amoung others is a verbal agreement between the Tengku + Lee Kwan Yew that they should respect each others’ turf politically.
Whether can Sabah or / and Sarawak technically separate fron this Federation? If my readings serve me well, there was an attempt in the 70’s. The Sedition Act was apply to the max. Well, the State of Singapura , became The Republic of Singapore, didn’t it?
Our PM spoke the truth + hypocritically, about the resignation of Deputy CM Chong Kah Kiat. There is really no lost, coz’ a lame duck Chief or Deputy with only 2 years to impliment policies, regardless of his track record , is no help in the 1st place. Further, if the sudden departure of Mr Chong is no big deal, why was he appointed in the 1st place, with the full blessing of the PM?
abdullah was right. i totally agree with his statement. for the past 30 odd years he has been with the corrupted party and yet he did not turn a new leaf for the justice of true sabahan who is holding the legally issued ic.
he is useless and there is no time for him to repent his fault for what he did to the sabahan. age is catching up and it is better to pray to lord yama for forgiveness.
this is truly a not great loss to sabahan indeed.
shake head……
Ooops, a correction, 1st para:
“He’s the country’s most powerful ceo yet he has not delivered the promises of 2004 General Election and the people put their trust in him.”
Sorry.
we in sarawak r lack of ppl who r aware of political tactic.
dayaks’ votes can b bought by money.
malays definitely will not gv dayaks control of sarawak
chinese r d only can can vote smartly.
congrats DAP sarawak.
Pls try to exposed more malpratice in sarawak…
CKK NO GREAT LOSS TO SABAH N NATION. DIES FOR NATHING!
A CORRUPTED GOVNT HAS NO VALUE FOR JUSTICE -MINDED CITIZENS. ONLY TH CORRUPTED IS VALUED??
DATE: 14 April 2007
The Prime Minister’s statement to say that Tan Sri Datuk Chong Kah Kiat’s resignation poses “no loss to the State of Sabah is the biggest insult against a man who has devoted 32 years of his life to carrying out the vision and manifesto of the Barisan Nasional.â€Â
Tan Sri Datuk Chong Kah Kiat had been instrumental in the success of Barisan Nasional in Sabah during its infancy in the 1990s. If this is how Tan Sri Datuk Chong is to be treated it serves to show that all the leaders in Sabah can be treated as a nobody, unimportant and nothing at any time by our Federal leaders.
As the successor of Tan Sri Datuk Chong Kah Kiat, I am not alone in saying that this insult against Tan Sri is not only an insult to LDP but the people of Sabah who has steadfastly supported the LDP and the Barisan Nasional’s struggle all these years.?
