BN will lose if polls are held in Sabah now

The RCI report is the letdown of all letdowns, says Kit Siang.
RCI sabah2KUALA LUMPUR: If an election is held in Sabah now, DAP elder statesman Lim Kit Siang has no doubt that Umno/BN would be kicked out of power by one issue: the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) Report.
Indeed, Najib would have lost his premiership and Umno/BN kicked out of Putrajaya if the Report had been written and released before the 13th General Elections last year, he added in a statement.
“I do not think it is an exaggeration to describe the Report as the worst RCI Report in the nation’s history,” said Lim who is also DAP Parliamentary Leader and Gelang Patah MP. “Clearly those in authority knew that the Report would be a public relations disaster.”
“This was why elected representatives were barred.”
“This was why there was more than six months delay in the publication of the Report although it was submitted to the Agong on May 14.”
“This is also the reason why the Report was not tabled in Parliament for debate.”
Is this also the reason for the sudden attempt to strip the RCI of its ‘royal’ character and to downgrade it to a Commission of Enquiry without the ‘Royal’ appendage? he asked.
There’s disappointment, disbelief, disquiet and dismay on the Report, he warned.
He deplored the cloak-and-dagger arrangements for the launching of the Report.
He criticized the fact that Kota Kinabalu MP Jimmy Wong, Kepayan Assemblyman Edwin Bosi, former Senator Maijol Mahap and NGO representatives were unceremoniously barred from the Wednesday ceremony for the release of the Report, “as if the authorities had something to hide instead of marking a historic event for Sabah and Malaysia”.
He charged that Chief Secretary Ali Hamsa and the Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail, who conducted the launching of the Report, “were mortally afraid of being questioned, but the ruckus over the barring of elected representatives of the people and NGO officials and individuals could have been averted”.
“The Prime Minister himself should have been in Kota Kinabalu to launch the report,” said Lim. “He had reasons to believe that the Report will be a public relations disaster, as it has proven to be in the past two days.”
The orchestration of twitter bombs during the launch of the report to sabotage and jam interested but critical twitter sites, “like mine”, continued Lim, was another tell-tale sign that there were those in authority who had a guilty conscience and wanted to deflect full attention from the Report.
Native Sabahans have been let down for over four decades or for two generations on the problem, stressed Lim, which has changed the political demography in the state and created an unprecedented socio-economic crisis for the people in the “Land Below the Wind”.
In full trust, he said, they had looked forward to the RCI Report to provide a final solution to the problem but it has proved to be the “Letdown of all Letdowns”!
