Dari Sarawak Update.com - Ulasan politik BN dan pembangkang di Sarawak

by Abdul Hakim Bujang

The Chief Minister of Sarawak is saying it loud and clear. Barisan Nasional (BN) will continue to win big comes the next election. Not a simple majority. At least 60 out 71 seats, if not more. He was being humble.

I am not one of Abdul Taib Mahmud worshipper, and is probably the only non-politician that has ever earned his rant in State Legislative Assembly. I have to agree with him though.

There is no viable alternative yet to BN in Sarawak. Look at the so-called government in waiting, the quality of some of the people holding important position in major opposition parties are much more funnier than Malaysia sitcom line up. Some do not need costume and are clowning around.

Parti Islam Se Malaysia
Allow me to comment on Parti Islam Semalaysia (PAS). During its last Muktamar, its controversial deputy president Nasharuddin Aziz said they have secret formula for Sarawak election. As usual, he refused to divulge details.

As times goes by, suddenly PAS was having a new secretary for Sarawak, Saidin Massudin Sahini. The man who once staged a solo demonstration in front of the Chief Minister house over the oil price hike. If a man could not even get the support of his own wife and children to hold demo, how do you expect him to be voted by others come the election?

I knew him too well. He was formerly a former leader of PKR Sarawak. A candidate thrashed by the least popular PBB guy in Demak Laut when the BN was expecting a defeat given if opposition was fielding a right guy.

This guy also happened to be only leader who enjoyed being whacked, yes physically being whacked in PKR office by his own comrade. He was very fortunate that the attacker did not kill him with the crowbar. ASKED HIM. A police report is still pending.

At the height of the recent Parliamentary election, he was being accused and was investigated by PKR Sarawak over an attempt to buy the party candidate in Kota Samarahan. Out of shame, the investigation was never made public. There were simply too many negativities surrounding the opposition in Sarawak, I presume thats’ the reason why Anwar Ibrahim pretend nothing had happened.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Just go around. Kuching is very small. If this kind of leader fit to become a leader of Islamic organisation, probably all the Samseng Kampung and Kongsi Gelap or conmen in Kuching with PhD are good enough to be Minister in the next non BN government.

PKR and DAP relationship
I hope Anwar Ibrahim will stop putting the cart before the horse. Please can someone tell him to take his medicine. I think he was a little bit delusion after the 916 mirage. What was started as psyche game that is slowly turning him into a psycho. I feel nauseate everytime he said Pakatan is taking over Sarawak. The only man who trust him is probably 10 million Ringgit Tiong King Sing, who offered his small head, to be cut off if BN win next election. I will elaborate about Tiong game some other time, he got his own reason.

Listen carefully, please tell Anwar there is no Pakatan Rakyat in Sarawak. Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) is not having any relationship, co-operation or understanding. Did he realised that PKR and DAP are killing each other in Stampin, Sibu and Sarikei? If not for the craziness of PKR overly ambitious but far from getting support Chinese leaders, DAP could have won more seat.

Please tell Anwar Ibrahim and Tian Chua the Chinese of Sarawak are still referring to PKR as “Parti Bontot”. Go incognito. They will ask you, “Hey apa macam itu Bontot mau kacau Roket, haiiyaaa… Pergi main jobor la.” I was consistently being harassed becuase some of my Chinaman friend knew that I used to be working for PKR. No offence. Today they run me down, sooner or later I would get my turn and get to the nerves of these “Communist”. Yes, I call them Communist, fondly.

There is no need for me to elaborate on PKR and DAP relationship in Sarawak.

Another supermaniacs whom is dreaming to become Chief Minister of Sarawak is currently suing another politician. What are they trying to picture here if not making fun out of them themselves? People are laughing over this and could not help but giving them title that make the leader in question literally immune in the court of laws. You know who are the people immune from the justice system, it is a universal norms.

How many more fightings between PKR and DAP would be made public to earn the public trust that the two party can govern Sarawak peacefully? Is there any warranty they would not be declaring war against each other once assuming power? There is nothing much you can expect from people who are slowly proving that they are literally immune of the laws, you know what I am saying!

You want evident? No needlah. Just go Google for whatever you wish to know about them. All the darndest thing also have.
BN change of style

I am very pleased to note that many BN leaders have opted to be visible online. Some on FB, others having their own website. I am happy some trying very hard to be seen as working. Bottom line is the people benefit.

Its quite fun to spoil the “ball-carrying” and worshipping drive on FB by interjecting. Many BN leaders are matured enough. They still invite me to their open house and breaking of fast despite my non stop interference in their political struggle. I will continue, nothing personal.

So far, I have not got any capital F word in private from any of them despite running down some of BN organisation particularly the napping Wanita PBB. Datuk Rohani Karim was quick to defend in FB that Wanita PBB is very much alive and they have YB Nancy Shukri handling the “changing times”. Nancy however seems busy donning latest fashion rather than delving into Wanita PBB issues. I read news about her visiting New York recently, the report make her sounded like a little girl returning from Mac Donald farm. I repeat Mac Donald, not Mac Curry. Nothing to shout about.

On the ground, BN leaders no longer boasted huge and expensive banners for their function in Kampung. They organise event, officiate it or simply visit a Kampung and solves the Rakyat problem at source. I repeat, funding are now being used to solve problem at source. For a bigger problem they are much wiser. They no longer quarrel with the press.

Last time, BN YBs would come charging whenever problem in their “kawasan” (area) are being exposed by the media. One such moron was YB Bolhassan Di who rang up my boss non stop whenever I wrote something negative in his area, stupid! Look at him now, where is he? I hoped CM would drop him in the next Cabinet reshuffle. His arrogance is much bigger than the Sun. That is why he lost miserably in PBB election.

Today, the smarter YBs invite media to highlight their problem and share them with the world. They knew once the problem are highlighted by media, its stand better chance to be solved. The more clever one would tell the press quietly and react the following day. Such a move spell greater mileage for them. To me, I do not give a damn. As long the problem faced by the people is solved. I am not in the business of barking at problem, solved them.

Furthermore the BN YBs know the new big boss means business when talking about KPI. Nobody is taking the KPI thing as a joke. Especially the ambitious one or those who still enjoy the comfort of life being a YB. With that, their service improved further thus shutting out the opposition.

Rural and urban seat
Vast majority of Sarawak are still under developed. Opposition are very dominant in urban area, especially Chinese majority seats. The voters in these area are probably fed up with some individual whom failed the people and want to show them who is actually the boss.

I was blessed with opportunities to see myself how some cocky urban YBs treat their constituents and witnessed how the arrogant Federal Government continue to introduce policies that victimised the not so rich urban populace. People are not stupid, once the credibility are destroyed its tough to regain their trust.

If you ask me why DAP were winning so many seats in the previous election, people want some changes. People want the BN leaders to listen to their problem and solved the issues that affect their live. Its one hell of an experience to undergo flood once, what to say every year. Yet the Federal Government said we do not have money to address the problem when wastage are evident left and right.

People knew the leakage although they may not have the expertise or mean to prove it in the court of laws. The choice and the only way to signal the disapproval is by voting the more credible opposition. Thats why these young, highly qualified and perceived and accepted as clean opposition leaders won.

BN leaders who tried to show that they work for people will never win here because people know they these BN YBs are just plain not powerful enough to improvise their life. So they would vote the opposition and want the opposition to voice their displeasure to the government. Hoping that government would change, or ideally changing the government.

People are questioning the usage of taxes on lavish project that clearly benefit only a handful when there were no money for public utilities. People questions why iconic building are built when we are not having proper anti flood system. The issues are simply too many to explain in one short article.

SUPP ding dong over Dudong

In fact, yesterday I received latest news from Dr Soon Choon Teck on the Special Delegate Conference (SDC) but decided to rubbish it as a non issue.

People do not give a damn. I repeat the public do not give a damn about SUPP. To put it in Voon Lee Shan word, SUPP stand for Sarawak Useless People Party. I have to agree with Voon. Not everybody look up to SUPP. I am registered voter in SUPP area. I do not see reason why myself being a non Chinese is relevant to SUPP? I do not know what the Chinese think or how they look to SUPP.

My neighbour is a founding member of SUPP, and was once a former secretary to one of SUPP founders. He was very straightforward telling me in the face. SUPP today not good. They forgot the ideal. I hate SUPP, the current leadership, he nailed. I asked why? He said SUPP no longer fight for the good of people. Is that true? SUPP leadership, who disagree must answer.

Majority of the people that I know do not even bother to register as voters in SUPP area. Why? They asked me what for? SUPP never solved their problem. I lived in my housing estate five years now, and not once a SUPP controlled municipalities sending its people to meet us.

What is wrong with touching base, SUPP? Go to Sibu and see how Robert Lau and company walked from house to house, meeting every household occupant. Why can’t the SUPP Kuching do that? No wonder you are being wiped out from the election, you are simply irrelevant to the people.

There is simply no interaction, real interaction between SUPP and the non Chinese and perhaps some Chinese. So SUPP can easily being said as a non issue to the non Chinese of Kuching, who cares! DAP on the other hand is slowly proving that they can shed their ultra Chinese image and trying very hard tapping on everyman shoulder on the street.

It is not impossible that SUPP would be wiped out like their predecessor, Sarawak Chinese Association (SCA) if they are not checking their more serious problem rather than wasting time to ding dong over Dudong. SUPP must look into their own weakness and stop blaming Taib.

What do they get by telling Kuala Lumpur that they are losing because people are angry with Taib. In fact, who is happy with Taib in Malays area but why the Malays YB still win very convincingly?

If you are good, people would try to forget your weakness and help you to be a better man. If you are hopeless, cocky and arrogant, like Alfred Yap, go and play Chinese Chess. Stop wasting your time trying to make comeback, nobody needs MPP YB or a man who openly says that he can still win without Malays vote!

PRS and SPDP

Over on the Dayak front, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) have regained the momentum after PKR sanked in Batang Ai early this year.
PRS got a small problem right after the election, with rumour that its deputy Joseph Entulu would be challenging president Dr James Jemut Masing. The noise, however die out.

Masing cleverly steer himself out of the controversy and his supporters showed him the meaning of loyalty when it really matters. BN loudest critic in cyberspace, Tedewin Ngumbang, ironically continued campaigning for PRS at the heigt of election.

He too showed me his unvided loyalty to Masing when the effort to pit Joe Entulu against his president intensified.
Comically, Tedewin still harbour a hope of contesting against PBB deputy president Alfred Jabu in Layar. May be to go in winning some funding. He got nothing to lose. If he lost, it is expected knowing Jabu popularity in the area. If he win, he can boast about it until the day he died.

SPDP, too was rather quiet. Talks and news report appear that Tiong King Sing would be challenging Peter Nyarok for number two seat. William Mawan once whisper to me that Tiong is a possible threat to his political career. That is no secret. People knew who finance SPDP and Mawan is out of the question, so is Nyarok.

Its just a matter of time when SPDP would eventually be installing the actual King.

The controversies surrounding SPDP King however will slow down the change of gurad in the party. SPDP members may not take it kindly too. This, to them is tantamount to robbing the Dayak of their rights. Many Dayak leaders are apparently annoyed by Kuala Lumpur tendencies to believed in Tiong that Sarawak BN is at the mercy of opposition.

It learned that Kuala Lumpur leaders taking at face value Anwar and Tiong rhetorics that BN would be losing the next election. How I wish the rumour is true. Firstly, can Anwar provide me with high quality names other than the dubios PhD mongering bloggers, sacked non performing judge, expelled government servants etc?

Please do not tell me that Pakatan would be banking on losing recycle ancient Dinosaur from the ice age of Sarawak politic again? BTW, will Pakatan ever existed in Sarawak? For the record, PKR does not even have a local with the right quality deemed fit to lead the party in Sarawak.

Until then, I have to agree with Abdul Taib Mahmud that BN will win big, if not making clean sweep. Not that the people are happy with BN, nobody would take the risk of being governed by dubious Ulama of PAS and PKR recycle
