Kiandee's Rejection of RCI Motion Makes Him Sabah Public Enemy No. 1

When Ronald Kiandee, the greenhorn Deputy Speaker of Dewan Rakyat, rejected the motion on the proposal to set up the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal Immigrants in Sabah in Parliament on 22 May 2008, I immediately sensed trouble. Kiandee's senseless action to reject tabling the motion borders on sheer stupidity. I felt immediate anger. And I knew I will not be the only one. I knew that any right thinking Sabahan would be incensed. Kiandee's excuse was that the motion by LKS on illegal immigrants was 'irrelevant', 'disrespectful' and 'impolite' when the Parliamentarians were winding-up the debate to thank the King for his majesty's address.

My question to Kiandee is: Why are you using some technical irrelevant excuse (eg., the standing order) to get in the way of finally helping Sabahans tackle the long-standing issue on illegal immigrants? IS 'POLITENESS' IN PARLIAMENT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE LIVES OF SABAHANS AND OUR FUTURE GENERATION???!! Sabahans are being robbed (literally and economically), raped and murdered almost everyday for the past 30 or so years by the good-for-nothing illegals, and here you are rejecting a rare opportunity to resolve the biggest problem Sabahans faced? That makes you, Kiandee, as good-for-nothing as the illegal immigrants themselves, and obviously even more stupid than them! Why are you throwing the standing order at Lim Kit Siang? He has been in Parliament as far as we can remember. You have only been Deputy Speaker for, what, less than a month! Don't try to act smart with your stupid interpretation of the Standing Order? What standing order in Parliament are you talking about? Many MPs (especially your neighbour, the one that Karpal calls big-foot, and big foot's buddy, Ibrahim ...something) have been acting like barbarians and baboons and have never practised orderliness in Parliament. When have the MPs ever practise politeness in the House, I ask you?? Never, ever! You and Big Foot are becoming the biggest disgrace to Sabah.

Here, I just want to show how angry Sabahans are with Kiandee. The disgust of not only Sabahans but also Malaysians have flooded the alternative media and threatening to spill over into mainstream media:

Kiandee's rejection of motion a betrayal to Sabahans: PKR
Kota Kinabalu: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sabah has taken Deputy Speaker Datuk Ronald Kiandee to task for having rejected the motion on the proposal to set up the Royal Commission of Inquiry on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah. Its Deputy Chairperson Christina Liew said he had betrayed Sabahans and done great injustice to the people.
"Ronald, being a Sabahan himself, should understand the critical and pathetic situation facing Sabahans for almost four decades. The influx of illegal immigrants has a devastating impact on the people of Sabah, from prevalence of communicable disease to drug trafficking, mushrooming of squatter colonies and security issues. It is not surprising if there are more illegals
than locals in some parts of the east coast of Sabah.
"Therefore, Ronald's rejection on the ground of irrelevancy is totally unacceptable," she said ...

I personally share the sentiments of 'Immeasurably Angry Sabahan' posted on Malaysiakini:

'Ronald Kiandee, we will remember you'

‘Rest assured that every Sabahan will never forget that you rejected the tabling of the motion to set up the royal commission on illegal immigrants in Sabah.’
On Kit Siang challenges speaker's ruling on Sabah motion

An Immeasurably Angry Sabahan: Dear beloved Ronald Kiandee, rest assured that every Sabahan will never forget what you did when you rejected the tabling of the motion to set up the
royal commission on illegal immigrants in Sabah. You said that nobody will vote for the motion to be passed, including the Sabah BN MPs.
It is unbelievable that Sabah MPs would not vote in support for this motion. Why? What, may I ask, is your reason for not supporting this motion. Please don't give me stupid reasons such as, ‘irrelevant’, ‘unnecessary’, ‘pointless’ or other stupid arguments. The fact is you are hiding something. You prove to us that Barisan Nasional is not for Sabah.
To all the Sabah MPs, you must all feel relieved by this for you need not be put in a difficult position of voting against the motion. We will remember you. We have your names. We will not be like before where we say: ‘Apa boleh buat?’ This issue will not be put to rest. We will
carry on this fight so that truth and justice prevails. http://malaysiakini.com/news/83408

The disgust of the Sabah Forum community was clearly overwhelming. If I were Kiandee, I would probably not have a good night's sleep from this day forth.

And the best part is the following pix campaign that the Sabah Forum community came up with:

Sabahans, in general, have no problems with Kiandee on a personal level (well, initially at least but now he has given us one). Sabahans are merely disappointed and frustrated. We have suffered in silence for so long since under Mahafiraun Mahathir, where the illegals boasted and bragged about Project Mahathir that this 'Project M' which gives myKad to all illegals in Sabah became an open secret. Project M was part of the strategy to keep UMNO in power in Sabah. Sabahans have pleaded and begged for the problem to be resolved by the Federal Government. Nothing was ever done. In fact, UMNO further aggravated the problem with Project M and provided the illegals with homes and facilities better than what the locals could get. When Sabahans were appointed Speaker and Deputy Speaker in Dewan Rakyat recently, Sabahans rejoiced. And when the motion to table the Royal Commission on illegal immigrants came up, Sabahans finally felt there is hope and that solutions are on the way. Finally, we can end this long-standing problem of illegal aliens. Sabahans would have been happy with anything, JUST ANYTHING, that would have some effect, no matter how small, in tackling the illegal immigrants issue. But nooo, Kiandee thinks he is smarter (personally, he'd only be as smart as an ass###!). So now, Kiandee is trying to play God with the lives of Sabahans.

How dumb can you be, Kiandee! You see, Kiandee, the motion would have been a first step towards tackling the illegal immigrants issue. THE FIRST STEP, GET IT! With the illegal immigrant issue, Sabahans are akin to a drowning person. We would have grabbed at anything, even a straw if it means saving ourselves and our future generations. The proposed RCI motion is like a straw to Sabahans. Sabahans would have grabbed something, anything, that would save our children from the threat of the illegal immigrants.

Can't you get this through that thick skull of yours, stupid! To hell with your politeness, or relevance or your standing order. We are talking about saving this beautiful land of ours from are our safety and the safety of our children and our future generation. But you have let Sabahans down, to say the least. To redeem yourself, if you are a true Sabahan, you must do what is right for our beloved land, Sabah. Deputy Speaker, sir, please don't misinterpret me as you did the Standing Order in Parliament. Since you are prone to misinterpreting written words, let me put it in black an white. Redeeming yourself here means resigning from the Deputy Speaker's post and jumping into the nearby Kinabatangan River!
