PKR SARAWAK GAINING,SUPP REINVENTS,PRS CONSOLIDATES

Politicians in Sarawak are back with a bang after the welcoming the year of the Earth OX and celebrating Chinese New Year with their families and loved ones. SUPP  in this malaysiakini report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/97259 has indicated it is ready to drop unpopular leaders at the next state elections.Party President Dr.George Chan has earlier announced he is not going to seek re-election to his Piasau state seat.

The partys losses in the last state elections which saw the party losing ground in the Chinese Majority constituencies especially when the partys long serving incumbents in Kuching were soundly defeated is one of the reasons the party needs to look at NEW and FRESH Faces. It needs to RE-INVENT and thus Dr.Chan says that the party needs to stay together and move forward to wrestle back the losts seats.

Meanwhile a former PRS SG Sidi Munan was taken to tasks by Anaklu of audie61 as whether he has joined PKR? “No,no,no Hmmm,he replied.” However he says that BN needs to look closely especially at multi racial parties and use KT by election as a BAROMETER of where the Sarawak voters are going to vote in the next state elections. He said that many who have left PRS for PKR shows that the ones joining are not to be taken lightly. He said he, himself is already the grand old man of Sarawak politics as he is nearing 73 years old and he will not be able to campaign like in his younger days. Is it true that PRS has losts many members close to 17000 as reported in the mainstream media asks Anaklu? Of course, it depends on how the party leadership takes it and they must know how to consolidate themselves. I have done my part as the Founder President of the Party and my work is already done. Just then an sms was received from a reliable source from PKR Sarawak.

The sms received at 11.09am reads,”Bintulu PKR Dinner 21 Feb.2009. Venue: Lot 2026,Sg,Nyigu Industrial Estate formerly site of Heavy Machines Expos in Bintulu.” So work is already gaining momentum for the visit of  Anwar Ibrahim de facto leader of PKR and Sarawak and Sabah state chief. The last dinner function in Kuching was a runaway success which attracted close to 4500 at the sit down dinner while thousands more stood outside in the light drizzle listening to the speeches. It may be 3 weeks to go but all arrangements are progressing as scheduled says the PKR spokesman.

Expect the Sarawak political landscape to heat up in the coming weeks. The political parties in BN Sarawak , PKR and DAP will try to outdo each other and gain popular support with their respective programmes to gain the necessary political mileage to stay close to the PEOPLE/VOTERS in their respective constituencies.

PKR can claim that they have moved inwards to the Rural dayak Bastion of BN Sarawak while DAP will try to penetrate into more urban BN SUPP seats eventhough SUPP goes into reinventing itself.
