KOTA KINABALU: Two senior members from the defunct Sabah People’s Front Party (SPF) yesterday urged the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to investigate and explain the amendment that has resulted in SPF being named Sarawak Workers Party (SWP).
Santain Manurun, who held the post of secretary general at SPF, claimed that SPF had over 38,556 members in Sabah and that their fate, following the name change, is unknown.
“Our rights was taken from us, just like that. There needs to be a solution to this problem,” he said.
Santain asked about the process that led to SPF being renamed SWP, saying ROS should provide them with the answer.
He also contended that the name change from SPF to SWP was invalid as the pro tem president for SWP, Dr Ong Lark Sai is a Sarawakian.
“The Section 7 of the SPF constitution clearly defined that only Malaysians residing in Sabah were eligible to be members of SPF… since Ong is a Sarawakian, then it is invalid,” he said.
He also said the dissolution of SPF never took place.
Present during the meeting with the media was SPF honorary treasurer Joseph Lusin Balangon.
The name change allegedly took place sometime in May this year, and ROS senior assistant director Desmond Das was reported as saying then that SWP was the new name given to the old SPF, a party registered in December 2010.
He said the name change was legally provided under Section 11 of the Societies Act 1966.
He also said that following the takeover, SPF is now defunct. (theborneopost)
I wonder too how come SPF being named SWP. hope ROS can give their explanation about this.
ReplyDeleteToo much politics nowadays. Really eats me alive.
DeleteSPF is mere a nanny party. I don't think it helps in giving us anything though.
DeleteSPF tidak perlu disokonglah. Tidak ada yang hebat dengan SPF pun sebenarnya.
Deleteapa nama sekalipun, ia tetap takkan dpt sokongan.
DeleteI'm not sure either.
ReplyDeleteHal ini patut diperjelasan bagi mengelakkan kekeliruan berpanjangan.
ReplyDeleteI thought which Sabah party are you referring too. Well, I don't bother if it takes on the oppositions.
DeleteApapun, kita tunggu sajalah perkembangan hal ini.
ReplyDeleteAllegedly attacked? I doubt this though.
ReplyDeletejumpa la dengan pihak ROS dan tanya terus kenapa perkara itu boleh berlaku..
ReplyDeleteisu ini sebenarnya sudah dijelaskan bulan lepas.. kenapa masih lagi dibangkitkan?
ReplyDelete""The official(ROS) also pointed out that his office had already made it clear that the party was legitimate as all the documents submitted to the ROS were found to be in order when the party applied for a change of name, address, logo and constitution.""
Confusing but there must be reasons why this thing happened.
