Rome Statute is not about LGBT or against Islam, forum told | Malay MailKUALA LUMPUR, April 27 - The Rome Statute is not against Islam and it is unrelated to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, a public forum on the international treaty was told today. G25 representative Datuk Noor Farida Ariffin noted that there has been attempts by a member... All sounds good TODAY. But if sometime in the future some smart Alex invoke the Rome Stutute in his/her/their case. There is nothing to stop them, even taking the Govt to the Hague. Once it is signed it is signed. Backdoor to circumvent our Constitution. Decision is already made that we are not ratifiying the Rome Statute.... so just move on and dont waste time as there is a lot of other matters that need to be done... so G 25 stop those polemic and just help PH to do wat need to be done esp our country’s economic situation.

Reclaim Sandakan for local party, Jeffrey says ahead of by-electionThe opposition leader says parties from the peninsula cannot be relied on to safeguard the interests of Sabahans. Local parties it is, hearts & minds are here in their tanah tumpah darah. But many of them have sold us off. My political acumen is only as good as what I see and hear & from what I gather, you can’t trust the current crop of sabahan leaders. They are all corrupted to the core. But I offer no solution either. Do you think it’s going to be any different if we become independent? The powerful families will rule for decades until we have another GE14 style tsunami!
