Kota Kinabalu: DAP MP Dr Hiew King Cheu has urged the authorities to investigate if a new tabloid calling itself The New Sulu Times (Suara Tausug) is being published in compliance with its purported permit.

The 12-page newspaper being sold at RM1.80 per copy was handed to him by a complainant on Tuesday.

Written in the Tausug language and Bahasa Malaysia, the newspaper printed the Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) permit number-1-20-Julai-KDN: PQ/PP1506(307).

"Why is a Sulu paper permitted to be published and sold openly in Sabah?

The content of the paper is about the Sulu Sultan, IMM13, and the street children issue, etc. Is it true that it has obtained the permit from the KDN?

"More important is whether it is following the guidelines stated in the permit?" he asked.

If the format of the newspaper is as it is being printed now, the general reaction of the public is that it should not be allowed to be published at all, he said.

Hiew called on the Home Affairs Minister to explain the reason the publication permit was issued as well as the conditions for the permit.

BECAUSE TUN MUSTAPHA AND MANY OTHERS SABAHAN LEADER ARE SULU / TAUSUG...
Sulu / Tausug one of Sabahan Bumi's.. Unfortunately, Chinese DAP are not...
Are you jealous?

You Chinese just shut up.. DAP will always walk alone in Sabah...

Apa masalah dengan penerbitan akhbar SULU ni?

Panggil YB DAP tu, gua nak sembang ngan dia...

Dia sape?

Permission is always granted by the government to release the paper with whole 'chinese' language...

There should goes the same with this...

Kenape nak persoalkan? Ape isi kandungannya yang boleh dipertikaikan? Sekiranya ada, so, kemukakan...

Ape masalah ni? Gua tak nampak ade masalah pun!

Ini ke demokrasi anjuran DAP?

Gua rase YB DAP Sabah ni memang ketinggalan kut... Cakap ikut suke dier, kejap lagi kene tegur lah tu...

Sebelum orang lain tegur, meh gua tegur dulu...

In case YB DAP tu ade terbace komen gua nih, gua nak tinggalkan pesan buat dia :
"dearest YB, kalau tak puas hati dengan komen saye ni, YB dijemput ke laman saye, dan if u wish to meet me in person, I'll certainly will meet u, tapi bukan saye yg kene pg jumpe YB, YB yang kene datang jumpe saye, dan kite bleh berbincang, and let me tell u why i said your comment is not good!"
