Kurup The Mighty Frog

The Pensiangan parliamentary seat, “won” by Barisan Nasional's Joseph Kurup has been declared vacant by the Kota Kinabalu Election Court. This could pave way for a by-election for this constituency which was won uncontested by Kurup. However, Kurup can appeal the decision at the Federal Court.

The petition was filed by PKR's Danny Anthony Andipai a candidate for the seat. He had named Kurup, returning officer Bubudan OT Majalu and the Election Commission as respondents.

Kurup won the seat uncontested on Feb 24 nomination day after Andipai and another candidate Saimeh Usau candidacy was rejected after they had submitted their nomination papers after the 10am deadline. They have been blocked on their way to the nomination centre.

Kurup is the president of the Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah president and was subsequently appointed Deputy Rural Development Minister after the general election. He is also a former Sabah deputy chief minister.

Kurup brought back those good old days of gangster politics, where opposition candidates would be stop on the way to nomination through rough means. This kind of tactics has been lose for decades and only recently brought back by the evergreen Kurup.

For Kurup innovativeness, he was punched as he declares himself winner after there is no other contestant. Kurup is the first MPs that shall be thrown out because he is those kind of fucked up MPs that are only crazy for Money and Power.

Kurup don’t stand a chance to win in any part of Sabah because he once betrayed Pairin, the unofficial King of Kadazan-Dusun. Kadazan-Dusun hates him, Chinese wont vote for him and Malay definitely not going to vote a Joseph. Kurup, Dompok and Yong Teck Lee are the three great frogs of sabah! How can anyone forget?

He thought by going to the most interior part of Sabah (Pensiangan), he could go shopping spree with a lower budget but initial reaction before the nomination day shows that he wasn’t popular at all so he got to use the gangster tactics.

On the dark side, the timing of this rolling shows that UMN0 is trying to prevent Kurup from jumping.
