PBS president Joseph Pairin Kitingan has moved a motion for SAPP to be expelled from Barisan Nasional during the ruling coalition’s management committee meeting yesterday.The motion was seconded by VK Liew, president of another Sabah-based party LDP, according to a source from a BN component party at the meeting.
It is not known whether the party (UPKO), which is led by Minister in the PM’s Department Bernard Dompok, was invited to the meeting or whether it had chosen to stay away.
"Only the ‘three stooges’ attended - PBS, PBRS and LDP,” said the source. PBRS, or United Sabah People’s Party, is headed by Joseph Kurup.

Altantuya Trial: Is the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Involved?
Dr Shaariibuu, who arrived here on Sunday evening, said he was aware of Raja Petra’s recent arrest for allegedly publishing a seditious article on his web portal.
Describing Raja Petra as a person trying to seek justice, he said he was worried that Raja Petra would encounter a hard time because of his efforts.
Dr Shaariibuu claimed there were also people who wanted to “take action” based on what they had read from Raja Petra’s statutory declaration.
“But before they take action, they came and asked me for my advice. I then asked the Mongolian government for advice because my government is very concerned about these issues,” he said.

Let's compare oil prices
Further The Star made a comparison of prices in Thailand , Singapore and Indonesia . For Thailand it is quoted at RM3.90/liter, however are they aware that in Thailand new cars are cheaper than Malaysia by RM10,000? They pay only one life time for their driving license? No renewal fee after that? Also that goes for road tax as well? And do TheStar also aware that you can drive all the way from Hadtyai to Bangkok on a six lane highway without paying any Tolls ??!! Whereas here in Malaysia you have to pay yearly renewal for road tax , driving license and TOLLS, TOLLS, TOLLS!!!For Singapore how can you quote RM 5.20 ? Please quote in Singapore Dollars because they are earning in Sing Dollars. You might as well say Europeans are paying RM10/liter. RM5.20/liter = Sing $ 2.20/liter, still cheaper than Malaysia in view of fact that Singapore is not a crude oil exporter. Are you saying that you fill up petrol in Singapore by paying Ringgit?In an economy, dollar to dollar must be compared as apple to apple. Not comparing like durian in Malaysia is much cheaper than durian in Japan !! Of course-lah, Japan is not a durian producer!!! Comparing Malaysian durian with Thai durians make more sense!! For Indonesia we might say, is cheaper there at RM2.07/liter but compare that to their level of income!Now, let us compare the price with OIL PRODUCING countries:UAE RM1.19/litreEygpt RM1.03/litreBahrain RM0.87/litreQatar RM0.68/litreKuwait RM0.67/litreSaudi Arabia RM0.38/litreIranRM0.35/litreNigeria RM0.32/litreTurkmenistan RM0.25/litreVenezuela RM0.16/litreMALAYSIA RM2.70/litreRM 2.70!!! Individual perspective:

Opposition Leader Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has accused the government of being ‘stupid’ for repeatedly saying that our new petrol retail price of RM2.70 is low when compared to other countries in the region.
