Pakatan Rakyat Thrives in Sibu

The people of Sibu have made the correct choice.  This is the first ripple of the political tsunami that is going to awash the shores of Sarawak prior to the next general election.  The Ibans and other bumiputras including the Malays and Melanaus of Sibu too have helped a great deal in winning Sibu knowing that the Chinese were divided, it was the native groups that provide the tipping advantage to the Pakatan Rakyat candidate, Wong Ho Leng. The next time around in constituencies where the natives are the majority, the Chinese would have to do their part by giving their support to Pakatan Rakyat's bumiputra candidates. With this strategy more successive wins can be accomplished.

The DAP Sarawak would not have been able to win the seat alone, without the cooperation and sacrifice of the other political leaders from Semenanjung especially PKR and PAS who made themselves present during the campaign and created a good impression of a united opposition front.

The Sibu miracle shows that the Foochows have risen to the occassion and SUPP is losing relevancy.

Long Live Pakatan Rakyat!!

Ibans are the Kingmaker of Sibu

What do the Ibans get from SCORE?
The Foochows don't even follow Taib to develop Tanjung Manis. Why should they when they can have their own 'port', wharves and jetties just behind their own shphouses, office or factory.  This is what one sees along the Sibu river.All the mega projects to build piled drains, piled roads for sinking Sibu are for the benefit of Sibu Foochows.

The Chinese are divided between DAP and SUPP candidates, therefore the Ibans being the majority of the natives groups in Sibu are the Kingmaker of Sibu.  All the Ibans in Sibu can show their protest, anger and despair through this Sibu Parliamentary election.  Remember, my Iban brothers, Taib does not give any title to your temuda lands which your great great granfathers have tilled and lived upon for generations before.  Today your oil palm fruits are left to rot because Taib tells MPOB not to give licence to sell to farmers who plant oil palm on native lands without title.
Taib and his cronies need to be told of their marginalisation of the Ibans in SCORE. How?

Vote for Pakatan Rakyat candidate for justice and change.
It is time for the Ibans to determine change and not become victims of Taib's politics of development which benefit only his cronies' companies and big plantation companies from Semenanjung.
Tomorrow remember to give your votes to Pakatan Rakyat i.e. DAP's Wong Ho Leng.

Native peoples of Sibu, RISE UP AND PROTEST!

The Pakatan Rakyat has a "war" to fight in Sibu.  The Malays and Melanaus, Ibans and other native groups and Chinese voters who have Pakayat Rakyat in their hearts need to rise up and protest for the bad deeds of current State BN leaders.  The bad deeds are as follows:
1)  Cronyism and nespotism as praticed by the PBB, SUPP,SPDP and PRS political elites are getting worse by the day.  The main culprit is Taib, Jabu, James and George.
2)  Not recognising and not giving titles to NCR and temuda lands of the people of Sibu.
3)  Monopolising State land for their cronies to plant oil palm trees and at the same time "killing" the native oil palm smallholders and individual planters by directing the MPOB not to issue license to allow them to sell their oil palm fruits (FFB) to mills because the oil palm trees  are planted on native lands without land title.
4)  Lopsided development of Sibu, where rural towns, kampungs and long house villages  around and within Sibu parliamentary constituency are marginalised and extremely lacking in basic favilities e.g. roads, water, electricity, schoos, telephone connections etc.

FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN WE, THE NATIVE PEOPLES OF SIBU,  MUST RISE AND PROTEST BN SARAWAK BAD DEEDS BY VOTING PAKATAN RAKYAT CANDIDATE FOR SIBU.

YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL IN WINNING THE " WAR" AGAINST BN IN SARAWAK.

ONE VOTE, ONE POLITICAL TSUNAMI.

AGI IDUP, AGI NGELABAN.

Where is Malaysia?

1. Lee Lam Thye has proposed that the said to be "Malaysia Day" to be held for the first time ever on the 16th of September this year be renamed "National Unity Day".  Is Lee losing touch of the politics in Sabah and Sarawak?  Is he not sensitive enough to the feelings of the people of Sabah and Sarawak who have for more than 46 years celebrated an independence day that has no particular relevance to them (31 August 1957)
2. If we are to celebrate "National Unity Day" then where is Malaysia?
3. Does Lee not see the importance?

Sibu Parliamentary By-Election an Acid Test

Wong Ho Leng, the Chairman of Sarawak State DAP has mentioned the importance of the coming Sibu Parliamentary by-election when he said in a scale of 10 the seroiusness is 11. Wan Azizah is in Sarawak to discuss the candidacy for the opposition front.  This coming by-election would be a clash of the titans. Whether the likely candidate is a DAP or PKR person at present is immaterial. Since this is a litmus test, for the next coming Sarawak State General Elections ( slated to happen before April next year) both fronts are preparing for a fight to the end.  A win would vastly pump much confidence in the opposition mission to dislodge the Barisan National stronghold of Sarawak.  The opposition front appears to be more united this time around.  The stake = a gradual erosion of the ruling BN's party control over Sarawak.

Sarawak minor cabinet scuffle?

Awg. Tengah says " Adenan is a perfect choice to become the special advisor ". One political elite has openly declared support of another. But many have not forgotten CM's choices for the CM 's post a few years ago. Names were mentioned then: Effendi, Abang Jo and Adenan. Has Effendi's political fortunes gone astray? Is Abg. Jo not good enough? How did CM "scuff " about succession planning?

Has his actions of delaying now turning into a minor scuffle instead of a reshuffle?

Pak Eng says: Sarawak politics is too elitist for ordinary people.

Vocab: " Scuff" - walk with dragging feet / "Scuffle" - confused struggle or disorderly fight at close quarters ( Oxford Concise Dictionary)
