STAR adds ‘Kita Ambil Balik’ to ‘Ini Kali Lah’

The new slogan is aimed at helping the party take back what was taken away from Sabahans.

KOTA KINABALU: With its conviction building that its time has come, Jeffrey Kitingan’s State Reform Party (STAR) has added to its popular slogan, “Ini Kali Lah” the additional phrase “Kita Ambil Balik” (We Shall Take Back) ahead of the coming general election.

STAR Sabah operation room director, Saiman Sandah, in a statement here today said, the slogan “Ini Kali Lah, Kita Ambil Balik” will help pave the way for STAR to lead in taking back what was taken away from the state and Sabahans.

He said the new slogan has already started to be used by STAR leaders at the party’s functions including at a closed-door briefings for potential candidates at the Ming Garden Hotel here over the weekend.

Sandah claimed that STAR’s popularity has continued to grow ahead of the impending general election and whatever the party does now, other parties will try to emulate it and even copy it.

“This slogan is meant for bona fide Sabahans but we hope it would not be hijacked by leaders of other parties this time around,” he added.

The party’s popular “Ini Kali Lah” slogan has become ubiquitous throughout Sabah and is so much linked to the opposition that it has also been absorbed by other opposition parties in the state.

STAR’s popular patriotic song “Ini Kali Lah” was officially launched with the “Ini Kali Lah” album on April 20 last year before a packed audience at Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association Hall in Penampang.
