Sikmading's Sabah, Malaysian Borneo: News Flash on SAPP

Psalm of the Day - Evening Prayer for Help

Answer Me When I pray, O God, my defender! When I was in trouble, you helped me. Be kind to me now and hear my prayer. How long will you people insult me? How long will you love what is worthless and go after what is false? Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own, and he hears me when I call to him. Tremble with fear and stop sinning; think deeply about this, when you lie in silence on your beds. Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord, and put your trust in him. There are many who pray: "Give me more blessings, O Lord. Look on us with kindness!" But the joy that you have given me is more than they will ever have with all their grain and wine. When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.

- Psalm 4, Book One taken from the Good News Bible, Today's English Version.

News Flash on SAPP

The Sabah Progressive Party or SAPP press conference took place as scheduled at the party headquarters at Luyang in Kota Kinabalu at 2pm just now. It just ended and I'm now blogging to you from Coffee Beans at nearby Damai in air-con comfort, sipping my favourite iced southern tea.

SAPP president Datuk Seri Panglima Yong Teck Lee didn't announce pulling his party out from Malaysia's ruling National Front or BN coalition as widely speculated. The lawyer-turned politician nonetheless did drop a bombshell of sorts - that SAPP has lost confidence in Prime Minister and BN chairman Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi or Pak Lah's leadership and that its two Members of Parliament will support a motion of confidence expected to be tabled against Pak Lah in Parliament which resumes sitting Monday.

This is just the news flash. I will follow up with a more detailed report in a few minutes complete with pictures. Give me a chance to sip my tea in the meantime. See you.

SAPP filing vote of no confidence at Dewan sitting on 23rd June, has it been filed or not. It should be within 48 hours or 14 days and by now the Speaker should have received it.

I wonder why they still want to stay in BN but asking the PM to resign. Who will be the next PM..??.
