“Cheap Politiking -SPDP President’

The Wong -Salang spat takes precedence as far as SPDP president Mawan is concerned. He has already taken the initiative to sit down with PRS but his first requests was not entertained. This weekend he will be going to Julau to meet with PRS leaders to solve the personal confusion in the personal vendetta between the two leaders.”

The President mentioned to audie61 that this “cheap politiking” should stop. He said we musts ensure that our members are told and this was exactly what was sent out in smses and in the social media by the SPDP/UMB team (unit media baru),”SWP is not BN and PRS/SPDP are to work together.If PRS under attack we attack be it SWP,PKR,DAP or SNAP. There should not be cheap politiking and as far for JUDAT party will talk to him and receive his report.Pls forward to others.”

The President is serious and he does not want SPDP to be dragged in the SWP/PRS “internal revenge” He even mentioned that our enemies are outside and not within BN and we musts set aside differences for the better good of BN as we prepare for GE13.

SWP “Making In Roads In BN/PRS Areas”

4 seats against PRS now turning to 6. The momentum gains support with huge numbers coming to the functions of SWP we were informed.

A spokesman called audie61 and told us that SWP(Sarawak Workers Party) promoters George Lagong,Josephine Mawatand also former Sarawak Report journalists Lester Melanyi were together with Datuk Sng Chee Hua at the Parliamentary Seat of Selangau.

The function at Ladang Empat in Selangau district was well attended by over 1000 supporters of SWP. At a nearby function the incumbent Selangau MP Joseph Entulu could only garner 400 people he said.

Datuk Sng also handed a donation of $20000 to assist the longhouse JKKK and it is reliably learnt that he will take on the PRS No.2 man in Joseph Entulu.

The SWP spokeperson indicated the lineup of the following against the BN/PRS seats

• 1. Hulu Rajang (George Lagong)
• 2. Kanowit ( Ellison Ludan)
• 3. Julau ( Colin Balla)
• 4. Selangau(Datuk Sng)
• 5. Lubok Antu (Langa Lias)
• 6. Sri Aman(will name at next weeks function)

Meanwhile a PKR staunch supporter Baginda Minda and also former James Masings Information Chief said “VERY GOOD.Let BN fight BN- friendly and we will capitalise on the remaining voters.” Lubok Antu and Hulu Rajang are our top parliamentary targetted seats held by PRS. We also have candidates shortlisted .

The imminent GE13 will see many aspiring politicians throwing their weight and names to be nominated to stand. Whatever political divide,ideals and party one stands on the “rakyat” will have the final say. CM Taib has already mentioned in Sarawak we practise democracy and the ‘rakyat’ will choose. Their votes will determine who will be the member of parliament for that constituency.

WE DO LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES.

PRS…Enemies Pinpointed.!!

What Goes around Comes Around. There is no more Hide and Seek…

 There are no love losts left and Sng Chee Hua has come out with guns blazing against his greatest foe to date James Masing. They were enemies in the battle of James/Tajem but became close alliances in the formation of PRS and after the bitter fall out its time to renew the rivalries.

In the lasts few days there have been a hive of activity with former PRS/PBDS members surfacing,seen together with Sng in Kuching and the newspaper reports
http://www.theborneopost.com/2012/04/06/new-party-in-the-state/
  have only made it up as rumours. The line-up to the new party have been finalised and the recent candidate lobbying of PRS in Hulu Rajang makes it more urgent for the launching.

Even in Selangau,over the past few months it was known that Sng have made his rounds(tweeted on 27th March-MP Selangau Entulu the incumbent faces possible challenge from Sng.Word on d ground is making headway )and last week he has come over to Julau where he was the MP from 1995-1999. Our earlier article in July 21 2011 asked “ Calon PRS..??” as the picture below shows.

However the status quo has changed since or could it be maintained by PM Najib as he sees all of them being returned and BN wining 6 seats in the process. Could the new party in the offing be done to split the votes for all aspiring candidates? We will only know after the results are known and serious lobbying for MPs are done if the final tally is so close for comfort on both sides of the political divide.

Its a love hate rivalry between Masing /Sng and you wouldn’t see them shaking hands for now unless they take on each other in a parliamentary constituency. Will they shake hands if they crossed paths in Hulu Rejang or Selangau Parliamentary Nomination centre.? hmmm….

Sng is hell bent in ensuring his team contests only the one’s which are mosts likely winnable and the reports of Selangau,Hulu Rajang,Kanowit and Julau and the newspaper reports have got it spot on.

The other two seats in Lubok Antu and Sri Aman are  not James “Proxies” as such and Sng feels that its better to have a foothold in winning a number of seats rather than lose all. Sngs strategists have it all mapped out and its there for the taking says a protem member of the new party. 

Sng knows James will be political bad mouthing against him and this extracted quote is a clear indicator,”PRS can deliver all these six seats provided there is no element of sabotage among the component parties. Instead if we all work as a team, PRS can deliver all those six seats,” (January 5th 2012 article)

PRS enemies have already been identified as such and the party will make all preparations to ensure a victory will be achieved at all 6 seats. BN component parties in PBB/SUPP/SPDP will be lending a hand in all the 6 PRS areas and there is no doubt about it as the battle lines are drawn.

 A victory for PRS is a victory for BN  

Dayaks-”Silence Deafening..??”

Is there any truth what is being written in this report-we extracted ”Unrestrained drinking, frequent fightings in public places and other activities have been cited” ( click below)?

 An emeritus professor said that our Dayak Assemblyman should be at least be seen to do something if thats the word to be used to address the issue. They are put there,voted in by the people who have faith in them and if mosts of them lost their jobs in their thousands it will be a major social problem for the Sarawak State in the long run.     

Even a former newspaper critic said,” Our Ministers must make an effort to find out the truth of the matter backed up with statistics. Can they justs take a Ban as a ban when it affects their own countryman?

 A delegation with the Malaysian government to the Singapore republic would just draw more light to a rather touchy issue. This will have adverse effects on the manpower business between both countries.

The Silence is deafening but lets take that as a Starting Point to ensure that we will always lbe there for our people in their hour of need. We musts not take it as absolute truth until the ban is in totality for reasons which the country rejects our workers.

Efforts has been made by a political party from Sarawak and they have informed the Malaysian Home Minister and at press time the ministry has yet to meet their counterparts to resolve this issue.

When will we know..?

Will all our workers be victims of mindless some..?

Dayak “Tan Sri’s..Unprecedented..??”

A political analyst pointed that it is true what the President of PRS James Masing said,”I am receiving PSM (which carries the ‘Tan Sri’ title) on behalf of the Dayak community. It’s their unwavering support for BN which gives BN leaders the decision to give me the honour,”

Though its an honour for him,Mawan (President of SPDP) and Leonard Linggi Jugah ( former PBB SG ) to be honoured together its just Unprecented.No matter how or what your imagination maybe the there are many who will not take it as face value but  questions the political motive behind.

The analyst even said this was given by the Agong and it must have been strong recommendation from the Prime Minister himself. Is Najib putting a clear message to CM Taib he asked.? It will be debated for sometime yet and for now the Dayaks should be honoured as James Masing says and do not look beyond the political message.

A former aide to James Masing said,”He is sick of the games that is being played and knows that its way above PM Najib and some HIDDEN HANDS are behind all these. Its more than a checkmate if you know what I mean..!!” Thats for you to use your political knowledge and you will have a more concrete picture when the jigsaws come in place in the coming months.More will appear out of the cracks soon.”

Let it unfold and see whether I am correct or not. For now he says,” Am not buying such a move,ITS UNPRECEDENTED …. 

THIS COULD VERY WELL SIGNAL THE  START OF MANY MORE POLITICAL GAMES….

LET IT BEGIN..

Pakatan/BN Crucial 72 Hours.

The last leg of the “year long and wait” instead of the 10 days campaigning by political parties and their candidates will draw to a close soon. The last 72 hours and countdown will be very crucial to turn the mindsets of the fence-sitters to vote for the respective party which they will feel comfortable with.

 No one knows where the tide will turn as the people are now well informed. They have a choice. They will give a mandate to the candidate of their choice. It’s up to the political parties machinery and campaigners to turn the tide towards their candidates.

The amount of information filtering through should reach ground-zero by now and the voters must be  already”zombied” to vote the candidate of their choice. There must not be room for even the slightest question mark on which party they will mark on polling day.

Two contrasting statements which has hit the “morning coffeshop sphere” are 1.Toilet roll for 5 years in urban areas and 2. Local based parties against West Malaysian parties in PKR,DAP and PAS.

A phone call from a member of our team audie61 said that people in the urban areas are saying “If we receive some “donation’ for our votes it will be useful. It should be enough to buy ‘toilet rolls’ for 5 years. Whoever gives be it Pakatan group or BN we will receive with both hands. It’s after all our money and those in power are only tasked to look after ‘our treasury”. It’s like a bonus and we will not run out of toilet papers.

Isn’t it a good idea..? Short of saying,‘we are buying votes”

There has been many election speeches but the BN local parties should just capitalise on Sarawak for Sarawakians slogan. Its enough to get through the minds of the people in Sarawak especially so the parites fielding the local candidates are from Peninsula. If they win they will report still to the ‘masters” who are all West Malaysians.

 In Sarawak, our CM is given the full autonomy to run the State of Sarawak and Federal leaders needs to consult him in anything on State matters. Will the Pakatan leader be given that mandate? They are already strung by the neck it seems and even before they take power and run the offices they are under control from Peninsular leaders.

The CM has been the focal point of attacks and he has taken it on the chin eventhough there has been ‘personal”attacks by Azmin Ali in a ceramah about his choice of marrying a foreign wife instead of a ‘local lady” He even said to entice the local crowd,”local girls are beautiful and charming” and in so many words it means,”ladies your pek moh doesn’t even care about the local girls and why should you all vote for his BN team..?”

It’s a personal issue especially of taking your partner and who are we to question the lady he chooses? Would you like us to question you,”why you marry that lady or that man..?” Its in the eyes of the beholder and everyone in the market knows,”when one is sick and bedridden only the wife knows while the girlfriend will only know how to say ‘get well fast and I need to shop for designer items to look good.”

Azmin scoring political mileage is one thing but being personal is way below the belt. Drawing the crowds to laughter is only for comedy shows and talk shows not on a political arena and ceramah. How did Hitler do it..?? Ask yourself that and only maybe you will be as good as your mentor Anwar.

The next 72 hours and counting down will be crucial on who has the mandate to run the legislative assembly for the next 5 years. Its all still very much in the mix and the choice remains with the voters. Its a choice they have to take as they make their way to the ballot boxes on Saturday 16th of April 2011.

BN or Pakatan you decide… 

Taib”Yesterday,Today and Tomorrow…”

There was a lot of “hurrahs’ and ’yeahs” when Larry Sng’s application to join BN direct candidate was turned down at the BN supreme Council Meeting. That was Yesterday as far as Taib Mahmud the CM was concerned. Yesterday Taib kept his lips to himself and he knows that the BN supreme council was not the avenue for him to be trapped.

Yesterday too the report was,”The decision not to accept him(Sng)was unanimous and his case was not even debated by all component parties “said the source. Many even questioned as to why Taib Kept quiet?

Simple,”just wait till we get back home to Sarawak guys”

Today:-meaning all “hell broke loose“ even at the teh tarik and kolok mee stalls that Taib has given ‘lifeline” to the young man.The mass-media/newspapers throughout Sarawak published and Taib was quoted as saying ,”he plans to keep Assistant Minister Larry in the Chief minister’s office for some time. BN Sarawak chairman Taib said Sng is useful to the government and loyal to BN.

He went on to say,”I can still keep him because he’s a very useful fellow. He works very well and his loyalty to BN is unquestionable.”  

“The Headline Reads” CM to keep Pelagus rep“

A political analysts said,”There is a very strong statement and a hidden message behind what Taib has done.” If reading it correctly Taib is sending a well meant statement that he is still the one holding the PEN in Sarawak. He oversees the candidates lists and he will make the final decision.No one disturbs and interferes in Sarawak candidates lists. Anyone can cry and try to lobby but he is the ultimate signatory when it involves BN Sarawak.

Tomorrow,”which CM has not decided yet as he has not reached his final decision many are saying Larry will be fielded in Pelagus and its a slap to the face of PRS.

Is it true.? No Way…

CM has been thinking what lies ahead for Larry TOMORROW but he has not decided just yet. An emeritus professor said,”we have jumped the gun as CM only said Sng is useful to the government and loyal to the BN.”

There are many possibilities and Tomorrow he might say,”let’s make Larry an  Ambassador to New Zealand or …………………..” and everyopne will be happy and there will be many more hurrahs and everyone will be too happy and forget about Larry Sng in this coming State Elections. Another feather in the cap for Taib as he balances his house very well. 

So goes the saying,”you win today,Tomorrow is another different day while Yesterday is justs history”

Let us not justs keep ourselves in the box and lets look forward and look beyond what lies ahead for Sarawak and its people.

An extract from an internet blog on similar subject” Now, back in Sarawak, Taib said that Larry Sng is still relevant and is needed as he is”a strong Barisan supporter and worked very hard”! What now then? Is Taib stance not a defiance to the ruling made in KL just 48 hours ago? Well, brace for it PRS! Its Taib territory and there is no messing around.Taib is not interested in what the top leader in BN KL had to say on Sarawak affair, period! Be very afraid!

Remember,’ The Pen is still here in BN Sarawak 

BN A”Prison”for Dayaks ..!!”

The carrot was dangled and it really was just a matter of time when the journalistic minds starts to take over. Hop, Step. Jump and and the Rabbit not only Hopped as after pleasantries and filling the stomachs the main menu remains to be discussed.

The first topic obviously was regarding SNAP who was given a new lease of life and the Secretary General Stanley Jugol said SNAP was once in BN and now they are in alliance with Pakatan. This doesn’t mean that we will not have our say as they have already informed the reasons why they are pursuing with Anwar and in the Pakatan fold. If after the elections Pakatan does not keep to their promise and if BN does approach them its the offers that is on the table and uppermosts its the Oil royalty.  

We do not want to be like before,”A prisoner in our own party and to him BN is a Prison for the dayak YBs where the land is taken and the Minister is so powerful whereas in other countries the land is auctioned by the government and not taken and also that the Oil royalty should be more than 5%.

 Do you hear any of the ministers requesting for more as doing so will make the ruling Federal BN government unhappy. These land belongs to the people of Sarawak and as peoples representatives they must not keep quiet as they are more or less like Prisoners.  The Ybs must wake up and they must not be in their “prison’ but defending their rights says Stanley.

Even now you will not hear the Masings,Mawans or Jabus in direct confrontation with ATM..?(ATM-Abdul Taib Mahmud who is CM and holds the powerful Ministry of as Minister of Resource Planning)

The DAP assemblyman Voon Lee Shan concurred with the SNAP SG and he  continued by saying,”this information should get to the ground and the more we harp on it the more BN will be on their toes. Look at whats happening in Eqypt and Tunisia and very soon elections will be held in Sarawak.

An opposition supporter said to audie61,” Could Voon(DAP) and Ng Dominique(PKR) use the SNAPs symbol if they are not picked by their respective parties to stand. What do you think? They are so friendly with each other and this might justs be a start of a New Alliance. Nothing is impossible they say in Politics which is very often being used by the PKR Padungan assemblyman Dominique.

The year of the Rabbit will make many YBs hop and it seems after Chap Goh Mei the main talking point would be Elections,elections elections….. 

( The Heading-sms to us by SNAP YOUTH CHIEF DAYRELL  )

Masings “No,No,No Pelagus” to Sng

The smiles which has been appearing on Larry Sngs supporters in Pelagus must have more or less been extinguished by not only the PRS Pelagus members but also the whole PRS machinery. Last weekend Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) Pelagus division has come out strong by insisting that Pelagus constituency needs a new elected representative from within the party. Not a day goes by without someone mentioning the drama of Pelagus Seat.

Today,even before he goes on an official trip to Mongolia the PRS President gave a strong statement which has appeared in a local daily. He said,”we are firm on this issue .We will not allow anyone from outside the party to represent PRS in Pelagus,least of all a direct BN candidate as we have more than enough qualified people to represent us there.”

We will field only a PRS-sanctioned candidate for Pelagus.Currently the party has identified at least two or perhaps more potential candidates for the seat.”stressed Masing. Masing went on to say that Sng’s current political predicament was no longer PRS’s problem.

A political source said,”Fair enough but questions why Masing had to say this,”It is only right that Pelagus which is an Iban majority seat be represented by an Iban from PRS.?” Will this not open up a can of worms and it might just land on his lap..?

 He should have just concentrated on making the seat as a PRS quota in the BN consensus agreement but not touching the racial aspects. He needs not be reminded,does he on how and who lobbied for Senior Sng in the good old days.?He continued,”Don’t be too Obsessed that the real issue of the party’s seat is losts through missing the target.”

Junior Sng remains a favourite with CM Taib and only when the lists is announced after the BN coalition has vetted the candidates will we all know whether Sng will still be in Pelagus or be moved to avoid further controvesies before or after the elections.

Will SNG be able to punch the air with a CLENCHED FISTS and shout “YES….?”

“Silent and Deadly Revolt..??”

CM Taibs endorsement on BN direct candidates has more or less open the floodgates from a silent deadly revolt to a more open and vocal politiking from some politicians from BN Sarawak. Our earlier article “are we surprised.?” has all the makings of  a coup from within. Afterall BN is make up of alliances from political parties and why not the winning candidates after the STATE ELECTIONS 2011

It is not getting any better in fact it has got worse with his own Minister giving a 50 minutes interview to an underground radio station.  The ‘mushrooming of “underground activities” seems to be welcomed by the Minister. He said in a paragraph from the article,”Masing endorsed the radio station saying that “other (Sarawak) ministers would be happy to talk (to the station because) it is very nice”. 

An sms was received from a BN State assemblyman and the full text reads,”Personally I believe we should not entertain any interviews or requests or comments by underground radio stations that are activated purely to run us down.Why should we be ‘tools” of this Stations to promote themselves? Radio or TV stations or channels or papers rely on number of ‘hits’,readers or listeners to acclaim success.So why should we be a party to assist them in their unholy mission?if its oppositon leaders thats responding to this channels, I fully understand but not BN leaders.This channels will not be impartial to BN n and the Malaysian and State Government as it was formed with the primary objective of creating discontentment towards the BN,Malaysian or State Government.

What will happen to CATS RADIO Sarawak or Radio Malaysia..? 

Don’t tell me this is Masing testing and opening the ears and eyes of the electorate in Sarawak? Is he looking at his KM3 project again? He says he is BN man. Could PRS go the same way as the defunct PBDS(Parti Bangsa Dayak Sarawak) BN Federal opposition in the state? 

A veteran political analyst even went further to say this might happen for he sees himself as the next KM3 with the support of at least 18 dayak YBs and MPs. He has been somewhat elevated eversince the SPDP5 crisis and the ongoing incessant attacks with details and reports on CM Taib provides an opportunity not to be missed.

He was quoted as saying,”that he alone could not pressure Chief Minister Taib Mahmud into stepping down and that was not for lack of trying.

“I cannot pressure (him). 1987, I tried, 1991, I tried. This coming election we’ll see. Those who do not want him, whether majority or minority, this election will decide. I cannot do it on my own,” he said but was quick to add that he is still a BN man.

A former assemblyman said that Masing is indeed a master politician or a great anthropologists as he has seen off many before him and still maintains his position. The time is now ripe for him to start moving higher. He has seen off the likes of Moggie,Tajem and Sng Chee Hua and still stand tall.”Memang dia boleh”{ He really can..!}

So what makes Masing a student ready to take over from the master Taib. One must know that that Masing is especially well mannered and he knows how to put on a front.{Like many good polticians before him he uses on the surface he is harmless but he could be deadly from behind. }He masters it well as he was and still practises what he has learnt and graduated with.

Learning from the backroom all these years since 1983 one must have the ambition too to at least go for it the third time. KM 3 is within reach and in CM’s advancing years Taib (75 in 2011)has losts some grip on his reign.Afterall Taib has mentioned to Masing once”Swallow your pride and you will achieve your Aim”

WILL TAIB RUE THIS?

Is James really practising what he he has spent learning from this subject.Anthropology is the scientific and humanistic study of humankind. It looks at the human experience from a holistic, cross-cultural perspective that considers culture as well as biology, the past as well as the present, and both small and large societies.

The obvious needs not be explained but many of us still thinks that Masing is a lightweight. We might just be fooled by his open remarks of supporting the CM Taib openly. He is building up his resources and his army will be ready for the final assault and this time it will not only be a Silent revolt but an Open one with casualties on both sides of the BN team. His strategists will also look at the opportune time to move before or just after the elections.

Meanwhile CM Taib will just have to look at his student more carefully. He will not chance it as any wrong move now will see a serious split in the coalition.

The report that sparked a hoo-hah:-
