“SUPP ON Collision Course with PRS”

What gag order that James Masing has ordered to his PRS army will not deter SUPP from having a go at PRS says a Professor with a Local University. Very simple,Taib has not forgotten how Masing has backstabbed and had the open confrontation with him during the height of the Dayakism era.

 This is the opportune time to use SUPP to have a right go at James. Its PRS who started the fight and the SUPP  towkays are not exactly very happy and they will use their hatchet man to bleed PRS dry.  Excuse me for using such harsh words as someone needs to shake and rattle PRS as they seem to have forgotten where the $$$$$$ came from to start the party. Short memory and this will surely see to a demise.   

SUPP has nothing to fear as what they have asks for on the additional Assistant Ministership has fallen on deaf ears. Time to pick a hole or two on PRS and show to CM Taib that SUPP is still relevant and not the punching bag for DAP.

Even Affendi Jeman who now wears two caps and has lost some credibility being protem Chairman of ARBS and JPUNS says that they will assist SUPP in whatever ways possible to ensure that losts seats are won back by the BN coalition.  

SUPP is bankrolled by a number of big and established giants in the business/economic world and PRS needs to watch what they say. Even a small fry and untested leader like Youth Chief Sih Hua Tong can get James to come out an issue a “GAG ORDER” James is of course trying to preserve his own position but his mouth pieces are actually playing the “DOUBLES GAME“

CM Taib is very aware that at any time PRS as a party minus a few CM loyalists Yang Berhormats might leave the coalition at the eleventh hour before the state elections. It has happened before an PBS(Party Bersatu Sabah) has done it.

The KM1 and KM2 has failed but a yardstick could be how Lim Kit Siang failed in Penang and today who is the CM of Penang. Does audie 61 need to write it out and spell it out here. James is really under the wings of CM Taib and soon he will try to find a gap to manouvere and the timing is vital to succeed.

He needs to win back his dignity and as one PBB Senior member said James was a new breed of special politician when he first appeared on the scene. Somehow he has losts his way and out when the struggles that he steadfastly held in his palm and next to his chests.

James has reached 60 and soon if Winston Churchill is his mentor at 62 who was elected the Prime Minister of Britain. What is his famous slogan,”  ”Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never, Never, Never, Never give up.’ 

 History will rewrite itself and James has of course that ambition and his able lieutenants has even met up with opposition leaders on number of occasion before 916. Who doesn’t want to be Chief Minister of Sarawak..? Don’t you if given that chance..? Seriously,if not you should not be reading any more political blogs and just read entertainment news…hmmm.

PRS on coalition with SUPP. No surprises here as PRS leaders are not exactly sharing the same ideals and respect for each other. Even a SC member of PRS once said to me openly,’SUPP should look over their shoulders as PRS has equal number of  legislators in the State” Don’t over exploit the situation and PRS with so many former PBDS legislators will not give in so easily and for that matter bullied by SUPP. I was taken aback and I realise that with enough support and power there is nothing that PRS fears.

CM has seen that very clearly and that is why he uses Larry Sng (partyless Assistant Minister) to the maximum. Wouldn’t James if he was the CM of Sarawak use this tactic of DIVIDE AND RULE. He has learnt from the bests and he will surely unleash all that he has kept in his heart and strengthen his position.  

PRS has already done her housekeeping and there are only a few loose ends to tighten the noose around SOME NECKS and James will just push his finger and the automatic lieutenants will give their all.

There is no point anymore for James and his troops to go underground but to fight the war on a level playing field and attack the coalition partners without FEAR and taking out the hatchet man in the respective parties. There are too many HIDDEN HANDS involved in this battle and PRS will know whatever they do they have already been booby trapped.

Politics has a way of reengineering itself and soon we shall see whether the path of collision is averted. Nothing is won easily and only when blood is shed one would appreciate the struggles…………

“Opposition Parties Field day”

Updated:- 

The Home Ministry is renewing The Herald’s permit for publication and says that it was not revoked and that the renewal of its permit for 2010 is being processed.

A ministry official was quoted as saying that  “there was never an issue of revoking the permit for The Herald.”

He told news portal Malaysiakini that the last letter sent to The Herald in September was a notification that the application to publish in the Kadazandusun language was not approved, and that a refund of the permit fee could be made.

He said that the reason for the directive for the refund was that The Herald had paid its fees too early.

He said that the ministry will only process the permit three months before the old permit expires, as in this case it is in January 2010.

In all our family gatherings we have always avoided two very important subjects:- 1. Religion 2. Politics. Our family has very large followings of  various faiths be it Islam,Christianity and Buddhism. Also there will be some who does show some sympathy and align themeselves to the oppostion no matter what/who comes into power. They just love to be on the opposite camps. In order to keep the peace these two subjects are considered,” Taboo ” but of course there are some who  just chooses to strike that “MATCH”.

The elders in the family like party veterans are quick to douse the arguments and put the centre finger on their lips and say “Ssshhh” and also “Stop It.” But will all families in Malaysia be just like ours where we follow a very regimented procedure and do not engage head-on with the elders. Certainly, there are families who sees that Religion is certainly a flash point for them to push their political agenda.

The Eastern States of Sarawak and Sabah has a very big following of Christian Faith. There is already the big issues which has provided an arsenal for the opposition examples of which are the concerns of  Sarawak  Bumiputra,Penans,Corruption and a lists of misdeeds.

 Another highly sensitive issue ..Pleeeaaasss..this touchy business of the Catholic Herald will throw in the spanner of all BN good work over 45 years in Sarawak and Sabah. The catholics are very powerful businessman and legislators in East Malaysia and with one touch of the button they might just turn the screw on BN’s safe bastion into a battleground. 

Hasn’t someone or a Hidden Hand undermine Najibs 1Malaysia concept and treated it as a mere rhetoric…????? 

Even MCA has this article which we will reposts and if audie61 does not/cannot send a signal to the HOME MINISTRY maybe the MCA who itself is facing a crisis can do for the religious freedom of Malaysia. This is the article,” 

KUALA LUMPUR – MCA has asked the government to reconsider its decision not to renew the permit of the weekly Catholic newspaper The Herald, saying it would be seen as stifling religious freedom.

 “The action by the authorities is unconstitutional and totally unacceptable. It is counter-productive against initiating trust between religious bodies and the government,” said MCA spokesman Gan Ping Sieu here on Thursday.

“By denying The Herald’s permit renewal, the Home Ministry could be misconstrued as taking punitive action over the religious publication’s suit against the government on the usage restriction of the ‘Allah’ terminology.”

The Herald’s editor, Father Lawrence Andrew (pic), told AFP the ministry had cancelled the 2010 permit without giving any reason.

Permit approved, then retracted

The ministry had initially approved the publication’s permit renewal in a letter dated on Aug 3 but retracted it in another letter dated Sept 5.

The ministry should also allow the application for the publication of a section in the Kadasandusun language, said Gan, adding that Malaysians have the constitutional rights of freedom of worship.

“There should be no denying the rights of non-Muslims to read and practise matters regarding their faith in their own native language.”

“The seizure of Christian literature and Bibles by the authorities and disputes against judicial decisions involving conversions have all contributed towards the backlash against the Barisan Nasional government.”

Engage not alienate

What the government should do is engage Christian bodies instead of alienating them, said Gan, who is also MCA political education bureau chief.

Just as other religious-themed publications have been allowed to operate, Christians should not be denied their right to spiritual growth as The Herald is a means for Catholics to learn more about their faith, said Gan.

The Herald is printed in four languages and has a circulation of 14,000 copies a week. It is circulated among the country’s 850,000 Catholics.

If the Home Ministry can do that to the countrys catholics what chnces  has other denominations have against the HOME MINISTRY bureaucrats. It’s enough to send shivers down the spine of those who believe in the countrys constitution of RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

 Sarawak and Sabah has a lot to lose out especailly for the BN government as the multi racial ethnic groups will not tolerate being pushed too far. It’s a WAKE UP CALL for the bureaucrats in the Home Minstry and the government departments to toe the line of this very fluid issue. BN will suffer for their actions if this is not checked and stopped. Enough said and we rests our case…………….

Muhyddin..”What next on the Application Papers..??”

My better halfs uncle who is English was very angry when he was told of Marina’s issue. His first words was ,”Didn’t I tell you that we finished our 100 meters race 100 years ago. Here in Malaysia there is still in mosts government application forms a column for RACE. No Need for all this nonsense. I am married to a Bidayuh and does my children need to fill in their race in forms when they enter the British universities. Oh yea..!! British /Bidayuh he said sarcastically.

On one hand its triggered a very big response in Sarawak in the mass media,internet blogs and mosts of all a very “HOT TOPIC” in the coffeeshops. Even this report from

• Sarawak update has,”Bumiputera Issue: BN youth showdown in Miri.
• Borneo posts headlined,” Marina ,you are not ALONE “
•  Internet blog Hornbill Unleashed  headlined its part with this,”The Ministry of Higher Discrimination: are Sarawakians third class citizens? 
• Internet portal Malaysian Mirror,”From Marina to Daniel

Where and When will this stop? Do we blame our local ADUNS or MPS for not doing their required duties?If we continue to point fingers it will never ever end. There must be a solution and someone in the top hierarchy/corridors of power must put a stop to this. An Iban  friend of mine who is married to a Chinese said to me without even thinking,”Why we just emigrate and I dont think the government  cares .?

Two arguments here in that he is already fedup with the government policies or he has given up completely and being professionals their children will  have a better chance of a good education as their grades permit them to pursue their dreams of having quality life after they graduate.

Malaysia is half a century old(above 50 years) and we still have a RACE COLUMN IN MOST FORMS. This must be gotten rid as this will only hamper the progress of the country as it works itself towards a developed nation by 2020. With more outflow of brains to other countries like what my Iban friend has this would be very serious for the country. In time we will only have HALF BAKED/HALF COOKED BRAINS left in the country.

It’s time the system rids itself of priveleges/preference /priorities especially for education. There are no second chances if you cannot keep up. You only have to blame yourselves if you fail to make the grades. Our almighty creator gave us BRAINS AND IF WE ARE LAZY we pay for it. Race is not an issue here. No one is stupid by all counts and each of us has a GOD GIVEN  talent to ensure that our country MALAYSIA is not left behind in all aspects. Those who are smart are not necessarily good business man and vice versa. Well,do not need to give a lecture here.

So what is next Malaysia? Bumiputra is not a religion and it should never ever be used to differentiate the priveleges accorded to anyone who is Malaysian. There are so many wrongs that needs to be put right and mosts people in Sarawak have to thank Marina. There are always something or someone who sparks it off and thank God for Marina.

“Will Mawan come out Unscathed..??”

The calm waters in SPDP will soon be hit with a Hurricane. A reliable source informed audie61 that the damages are already done and it needs a new team to repair and rejuvenate the party. We covered it a few days ago with this article ,” A Lemon Twists ” but since then there has been a lot of movements and more disgruntled voices are emerging from the Presidents camp.

It seems that a number of SC members are starting to U-Turn on their allegiance from the Presidents camp and have started encircling the SG’s camp as the political battle of survival unfolds. An SC  member told the source that “If Mawan continues to cling to the PKFZ  Tiong that will be his downfall”  Of course we are grateful to the Tresurer for all he has done to SPDP but the political climate and scenario is too volatile now.

We need also to ensure that we must keep our part of the bargain in that SPDP maintains and win its allocated seats in the coming election or else SPDP will be just looked down as a “Junior Partner in BN Sarawak” It is without doubt that this is one of the reasons that SPDP needs to clear the implications that it is over reliance on one person for its funding. It should be a collective affair and no one person is bigger than the party and BN in totality.

The question is “Will Mawan come out of this Unscathed..??” The answer depends on very much on how the Supreme Council and grassroots of SPDP look at it or if the HIDDEN HANDS are very involved in the party power struggle. There will be a lot of Ding-dongs and also some dirty linens  will surely be HUNG out to be digressed by the public.

Politics afterall is all about PERCEPTION , OPINIONS ,SUPPORTand at the end of the day its not how you win in party elections but also whether the party in totality is acceptable to the voting public in their respective constituencies.

Mawan will be skating on thin ice in the coming weeks as he prepares for the parties Triennial Delegates Assembly but how he comes out will determine his TRUE VALUE  as a leader.

. Now even a cherry is being dropped into the Lemon Twists.

SPDP”A Lemon Twists”

A reliable source telephoned audie61 with these news,”Latest Bro. SPDP will see a fight for the Presidency.” Obviously the first question would be ,’Is it Nyarok against Mawan.? No,no,no its going to be the present SG Assistant Minister YB Slyvester Entri challenging Mawan. Also Nyarok will be maintained in the team with Entri as the No.2. This is breaking news as 6 SPDP Nothern divisions met in Miri (AIDA WAS THE PERSON WHO ORGANISED THE DINNER) and THEY HAVE given undivided support to the SG in his fight against the President.

( Latest updated:- Mawan has left to KL to attend the UMNO conference and also to inform Tiong of the latest development according to our source. Meanwhile an SC member told  audie61 on the phone there are a 1001 things which is happening in SPDP which we are not happy with. Seems the battles are beginning and might just  escalate.…)

Immediatedly audie61 swung into action to get feedbacks from the Political Secretaries and Supreme Council members and most of them would not be dragged into this fight and still remains divided in their opinions. A former Pol.Sec however told audie61 that ,”Wait till Friday and it will be more concrete.”

Could the PKFZ scandal be used as a leverage to turn the tables.It seems that  unknown hands are meddling in the affairs of SPDP. Whats more in the local dailies Mawan sounded very firm when he said,”SPDP will discipline any of its members who did or said things that could destabilise the party in the run up to its Triennial Delegates Assembly in December.

It is a known fact that Mawan is very close, infact inseparable from MP Tiong King Sing who is in the centre of the storm and this has greatly affected the reputation of SPDP as Tiong is the Youth Chief/Treasurer and also Chief Financier of SPDP. Mawan also did not mince his words when he said ,”he will come down hard on those challenging the status quo of top leaders come the TGA,and labeeled them as potential troublemakers tot he party.” So who is the trouble maker from within and from outside. There is a LEMON TWISTS EFFECT to all this happening in SPDP.

What is a Lemon twists? Lemon twists are most often used to garnish dry vodka martinis or accompanying espresso, but they can be used with many other drinks. They are used for both flavor and decoration. Some people attempt to cut a twist directly from the lemon. Nyarok was supposed to be challenged by Tiong and now it seems Nyarok has found a new ally in Entri.

The espresso effect has found new friends and whats more with DPM Muhyddin coming out with this statement ,’ He stressed that it is not only Umno which must transform, but also BN component parties.”We must be prepared to carry out an in-depth transformation to reach new heights in understanding.”

 The writing is clearly on the wall for those who fail to see the changes and cracks which are appearing in the BN family. From March 8th 2008 BN has been under attack for being too complacent and at times too arrogant for the people to accept  and thus the Voters turned their backs on the BN administration.

 SPDP needs to put their house in order as Sarawak State elections is around the corner and there are already indications that new faces are fast appearing to be the new BN candidates in order to ensure BN stays in power in Sarawak. Though the opposition parties are under wraps with too much infighting BN Sarawak will be under no illusion that all is vey well. Though the CM says 60 seats are assured the BN administration will be on their toes as when its TOO CALM an EXTRA-ORDINARY TSUNAMI might just happen.

The PKFZ scandal has in fact put SPDP in the limelight and with these turn of events LEMON TWISTSand HIDDEN HANDS being involved it seems we are in for some interesting political changes in Sarawak in the coming months.

10-A Crookshank” TORNADO IN KUCHING “

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon drive and as we passed the SUPP headquarters at 12.15pm an sms came in,” where are you going brother…?? We turned in to Crookshank road enroute to my dads residence. Suddenly there was this Very Loud Bang ,Bang ,Bang and Boom Boom.

We were just a few metres away from the Incident at No.10A Crookshank Road. Miraculous escape from the Uncle standing to open the door for his grandson and the two ladies who were in the Perodua Myvi. The driver of the Wira said to audie61..It was just like the movies’ Tornado- seeing a car flung into the sky and on top of my car. The lady driver said she cannot recall how it happened and also,” I was not on the handphone. I hit some loose stones on the road and also the fire hydrant and thats why the car flew..”

Wow! Im lucky and so are all of us. No one is hurt and THANK  GOD. Just has to happen at 10-A after the MCA EGM dramatic result..hmmmm

Pakatan Rakyat Updates…

Parti Pakatan Rakyat Malaysia. Its swirling and news have already reached the main stream media. Whats more..? A number of politicians have made a beeline and taken flights or travel by land  to Sibu for a meeting.

Amongst those who did not and are not getting involved and who has decided to remain PKR members are former Sri Aman YB Jimmy Donald, PKR Balai Ringgin strongman Cobbold John and Lubok Antu Director of Operations Nicholas Bawin.

This news were not supposed to be leaked to the Press/Media/Blogs but of course ,”THE RATS JUST CANT STOP THEMSELVES“  The waters have been too calm recently in Sarawak and according to an insider source this is NOTHING NEW IN SARAWAK.

Putting it simply for those would be defectors,” Our people need to get back to the main stream development and nothing much can be achieved being in the Opposition. ” Doesn’t it sound CORNYbut it does work in Sarawak. 

Well,tune in for more updates as we fill you in with more from the Sarawak scene..? One rumour that is certainly circling is that Idris Jala is being touted to lead this new identity..

DO WE HEAR MORE RUNNING FOOTSTEPS…..hehe

SKY”Miew”"Sugar Daughters Anyone..??”

 

When I read Sim Kwang Yangs article on China Dolls in Cat City,Miew it reminded me of a certain X YB who came down hard on this issue and well the rests they say is HISTORY. Did she win the last State elections..?? The article in hornbill unleashed can be read in Full by clicking HERE. 

Its  not that we do not have other pressing issues but this has got to do with a lot of advertisements that are appearing in the local dailies as a COVER for enlisting the China or foreign nationals  to work in the massage parlours. Check it out as this is a Prerequisite by the LABOUR  Department and if no one answers the advertisement the company can engage the workers. SCAM or Government legitimacy..!!!

SKY  mentioned 195 massage parlours and 3000 Chinese girls from mainland China enter Sarawak every month!  They are now the hottest commodities in our town!” Isn’t this great for DOMESTIC TOURISM..? Something is amiss here and the immigration and local labour department and police needs to put an END to this or else we would end up as SEX ADA RAMAI(SAR……AWAK) Are you GAME..???  The situation is CRITICAL and BAD and Something drastic needs to be done quick or quickly……..

The clamping down is not up to me but this is well above the LIMIT or I can say ,”TELL ME WHO IS ALLOWING THIS OR THE COLOUR OF MONEY IS TOO GREAT TO RESIST..??? NEXT They will be SARAWAK VOTERS I’m pretty sure says a political analyst.

 Well Sim Kwang Yang this is even better from TV Smiths blog and I reposts it here.

SUGAR DAUGHTERS DECLARE WAR AGAINST SUGAR DADDIES
by TV Smith
03/10/09

The government’s latest austerity drive to replace the cars of senior government servants with a Mercedes or BMW has resulted in an unexpected backlash.

Sugar daughters, mistresses and trophy wives are now revolting against the idea of driving a local or Japanese car. They reasoned that if any high-ranking public servant including under-performing ones are entitled to a new German marque courtesy of taxpayers, they surely deserve better.

As expected, their previously-so-sweet sugar daddies reacted sourly. A statement from their association, Sugardaddy Society And Help (SuSAH), encourage members to date less-demanding artificial models instead.

I spoke to two such models (pictured above) seen shopping at the Masjid India area. They confirmed they are happy to window shop at budget bazaars instead of splurging on branded stuff at upmarket malls. Besides, they appear more aware of health issues.

In response, affected sugar daughters formed a protest group named Sugar Daughters Against Humiliation (SuDAH). The acronym was earlier wrongly quoted by the media as Sugar Daughters Against Honda or Hyundai. As a show of support for SuDAH, a group of ex-models and starlets staged a noisy protest in front of an artificial modeling agency yesterday.

We say as always,”Not a bad Monday is it? Someone needs to get down to the BOTTOM of this all or else you know what will become of SAR…AWAK”  

B.P. 11/10/09 Coincidental …….

A former VP of  a Barisan component party sms me..Friend whats up in B.P i.e. Bagan Pinang. Joey said to me Boss isnt it this coincidental or just what the sharmans/bomohs has ordered for the people to make the choiceX . Strange but its a FACT …???

Bagan Pinang ..Barisan versus PAS/Pakatan Its a straight fight  1 versus 1 and the voting day is on the 11th and it might just be 1-0 to BN or even better Chinese voters form only 10 percent or about 1,300 voters and observers are expecting them to be evenly split between Pakatan Rakyat and and BN. Could after the 9th by elections will the BN  get the better of Pakatan in the Peninsular. So whats your take on this my friends says Joey to all those who have followed audie 61 so far…..hehehehe

Besides N31 Brother “This is Big News..”

A staunch East Malaysian BN supporter was taken aback when he received an sms,”UMNO retreat news is that the Big brother UMNO  is losing faith in the coalition partners in the West. This is also no good as BN/UMNO will be involved in a straight fight against PAS in N31 Bagan Pinang by election.

 Lets see what impact this will have on the voters and see whether there is a shift of sentiments towards UMNO or will UMNO face the indignity of just scrapping through with a RAZOR THIN MAJORITY. Surely UMNO will not just overlook the partners in Sarawak/Sabah as the East Malaysian States remains a BN safe bet to remain in power after the GE13.

An internet portal has sinced carried out this article and we reposts it here for all to make their necessary analysis.

the current power-sharing agreement with its partners in Barisan Nasional is wearing thin, judging by sentiments expressed during a closed-door retreat in Janda Baik.

During this rare three-day gathering of Umno divisions, which ended yesterday, a common refrain heard was that Umno should be less generous in giving up Malay-majority seats to representatives of MCA, MIC, Gerakan and other component parties.

The general view among division chiefs was that the component parties were much weaker than Umno and would not be able to swing votes from the non-Malays or the Malays.

In contrast, a strong Umno was better placed to win in Malay-majority seats.

The Malaysian Insider understands that party president Datuk Seri Najib Razak and senior party officials who attended the retreat — aimed at boosting the morale of grassroots leaders — were non-committal on the request for Umno to be less charitable in seat allocation with BN component parties.

If they do agree, it would represent a major departure from the power-sharing agreement that has been the hallmark of the BN coalition, and could be the death knell of MCA, MIC, PPP and Gerakan — political parties which have been allowed to field candidates in Malay-majority seats across Peninsular Malaysia.

Several Umno officials who attended the retreat told The Malaysian Insider that the most important consideration should be to field a candidate who can enhance the possibility of victory at the next general election.

“If a seat has 55 or 60 per cent Malay voters, it makes sense to field an Umno candidate. In the last election, we gave seats in Perak and Selangor to other parties and they were not able to deliver.

“These parties still have internal issues and will not be able to deliver the votes from the non-Malays. So it will be better if an Umno candidate is fielded to try and get the maximum possible support from Malay voters,” said an official, who requested anonymity due to the retreat being a closed-door affair.

During the retreat, officials were also in agreement that Umno’s/BN’s fortunes rested on the ruling party strengthening its standing among Malay voters — a backhanded acknowledgment that it was not pinning much hopes on getting support from non-Malays at the next general election.

This sentiment is consistent with the growing right-wing tendencies that party officials have exhibited in recent months.

There was little substantive discussion on how the party can reach out to Chinese and Indians who Umno officials have alienated in recent months.

Still, the mood during the retreat was one of optimism with Kelantan Umno declaring that it would be able to snare the state from PAS at the next polls. PAS has been helming the state since 1990 but Umno officials from Kelantan believe that the momentum is swinging their way.

Also confident was Perak’s Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir. Beneficiary of a power grab, he was certain that Umno/BN would be able to hold on to the state.Less hopeful about their future prospects were Umno representatives from Penang and Selangor.

We say as always,”The political blame game will see that BN will lose its INVICIBILITY and this will be a SPINOFF for the Pakatan group. This indeed is a WAKE UP CALL for all political parties from both sides of the political divide…
