DANIEL JOHN IS A ‘HAS-NEVER-BEEN’ POLITICIAN

By : DENIS GIMPAH

KNOWING Daniel John Jambun that too well since PBS time together, Datuk Seri Wilfred Bumburing is not going to stoop too low to the level of Daniel John or his political thinking. By describing Bumburing as a political 'has been' Daniel John forgot that after not being a member of the Sabah State Lagislative Assembly for two terms, Bumburing made a political comeback and was given a big mandate by the electorate that voted for him in the 2008 general elections.

Going by the way Daniel is portraying other politicians especially those that does not come good in his political book, the only and most fitting description of Daniel John is that of a ‘has never been’ politician due to his ‘well-known’ personal character and attitude and political traits as he have never gone up any higher on the polilitical ladder of success compared to Bumburing.

Daniel also describe Bumburing as political tools of BN and he shouts around negatively about other opposition parties. Who is STAR trying to fool? Where does STAR come from anyway?

Would the so-called STAR Sabah-chapter explain why the Sarawak-based party is not even contemplating on putting up any candidates in their home State in Sarawak? Can they categorically denied the story about a meeting between their leader and Tun Daim Zainuddin in Nexus sometimes ago?

What about the statement by Datuk Dr. Jeffrey during a talk by DESAH sometimes in May that STAR is willing and would be ready to talk to BN? Does this not show who is actually being used a BN tools here?

How would STAR be able to solve the PTI problem without sound working relationship with a new in-coming federal government? Definitely, Sabahans whom they are trying to fool owed them a lot of explaination explaination?

It is exactly his unwillingness to be a stooge of the BN leaders to perpetuate their practice of government, corruption, nepotism discrimination and the illegal immigrant that Datuk Wilfred Bumburing, against all odds, left the BN and join the opposition.
