Tuaran: Nine resolutions were approved by the representatives of the United Asean Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) at the Upko Convention Zone B (Tuaran and Sepanggar) here, recently.
PENAMPANG: Former Penampang MP Datuk Donald Peter Mojuntin claims that more people are realising coastal reservoirs are a viable solution to Sabah’s water woes compared to conventional dams.
Kota Kinabalu: It is high time to lift the ban on “The Golden Son of the Kadazan”, a book on Datuk Peter Monjuntin’s political life, as it deserves due recognition and shared with the world.
Stephens dissolves Upko for bumiputra unity
1967: The United Pasokmomogun Kadazan Organisation (Upko) was dissolved at a five-hour Party congress at the Community Centre that was attended by more than 400 representatives throughout Sabah.
Its President Donald Stephens (pic) said the only road to bumiputra unity was to have one bumiputra Party and called on members to follow him in joining Usno.
He also suggested there be only one bumiputra Party for the whole of Malaysia and pledged loyalty to Usno President Tun Datu Mustapha, Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, Deputy Tun Razak and the Alliance leaders.
He hoped the Sabah Indian Congress (SIC) and the Sabah Chinese Association (SCA) will help Upko return to the Sabah Alliance as Usno members.
Dato Ganie Gilong seconded the motion. Secretary-General Peter Mojuntin said he agreed only because he was convinced bumiputra unity was the key to future happiness, peace and prosperity of Sabahans.

YOUR reports on “Proxy Battle For Huguan-Siouship?” and “Jeffrey Says Not Interested In The Huguan Siou Post” (DE on May 5 and 6 refers).
As a political observer, I also got the impression that the sudden demand by PBS to single out its past bastions of Tambunan and Keningau had some underlying motive.
Just like the question your headline posed and the fact that the holder Tan Sri Pairin Kitingan had given up all other political positions, except the Huguan Siou.
It is quite clear that all the Kadazan Dusun dominated parties are trying to outdo each other for the community’s support since Warisan failed to appeal to the natives, except in Penampang and Papar.
