Has the GE13 elections fever hit the state of Sarawak? Generally, we would be expecting much more but its been eerily calm. It’s the calm before the storm, and that storm is how the people in the whole country would vote. Lim Kit Siang a seasoned politician smells a kill. He knows politics is about propaganda plus perception and now he is telling Malaysians,'7 States will fall to Pakatan"

Has the GE13 elections fever hit the state of Sarawak? Generally, we would be expecting much more but its been eerily calm. It’s the calm before the storm, and that storm is how the people in the whole country would vote. Lim Kit Siang a seasoned politician smells a kill. He knows politics is about propaganda plus perception and now he is telling Malaysians,’7 States will fall to Pakatan”
A BN observer said, “Sure Win Meh? Why isn’t he as confident as saying Sarawak and Sabah will lose 30 seats together for Pakatan to form the next Federal Government?
Alas, he too knows that BN in East Malaysia have kept our eyes open and ears on the ground listening to all the movements. Recently, the deputy minister in PM’s office Ahmad Maslan said that the Sarawak atmosphere is very devoid of flags,posters and buntings eventhough its the 13th hour already. Sarawak legislators and political parties are doing their homework and in fact can safely say BN will have at least 25 in the bag out of 31 seats. Does he need to wipe the sweat behind his neck?
We can be highly critical of the way certain component parties carry out their fight in facing the GE13. They are too fears that some of the MPs after the results are known in the 4 component parties holds high probabililty of ‘short selling themselves’ to the highest bidder if the results are too close for comfort. We shall see wouldn’t we? In politics nothing is a sure thing nor are all ‘promises” kept in totality.
Many observers are pinpointing now to the Global Witness video footage which many “unkind” words were uttered and it will tip some votes over to the opposition. Latest ground reports are that thousand of discs are being burnt and translated into Iban and making their way to longhouses and riverine settlements.
Under this circumstances all the reports on the ground needs to be addressed and looked over again cautiously to pick the mosts ‘winnable” candidate. However the Ugly Truth will be too hurtful for many to swallow.
We start of with SUPP a multi racial party but dominated heavily with membership from the chinese community and 6 out of 7 SUPP Parliamentary areas are in the urban areas. We are of course not experts but we can be very critical as we have worked with their members.
SW-”sure win” white or DANGER -”grey/black”
Having said the above, SUPP is now paying the price for unsolved infighting which has resulted in the Chinese voting community abandoning them. It’s not that DAP or PKR have suddenly an upsurged of membership but the legislators and leaders in the party have fought so bitterly amongst themselves that they have forgotten that they are actually supposedly to fight for the people.
1.Kuching:- Tan Kai it seems is a very good candidate but unfortunately he has also been caught up in the turf war between group A led by Peter Chin and Group B led by Wong Soon Koh. He needs a ‘miracle” to win Bandar Kuching but he still needs to soldier on as someone dreamt he won by 6 votes to pull off a mosts unlikely win. ( Black)
2. Stampin:- Have they resolved Deputy Minister Yong Khoon Seng to hold on to the fort and stop him from retiring? DAP Chong seems favourite to go for another scalping but word on the ground is that former DAP ADUN Voon Lee Shans man are seeking revenge. Voon was unceremoniosly left out of the last state elections eventhough he has contributed much to DAP. They have not forgotten and SUPP will do well to retain this seat. Many say though this urban seat will fall but its the mathematics that counts here. (Grey)
3. Serian:- Deputy Minister and Deputy President Richard Riot will not have much trouble going against the DAP candidate here. The Bidayuhs know that Richard have kept his promises and looked well after his own people and if SUPP ever thinks of a “real revamp” {thinking of a Bidayuh President..hmmm} he might just be the person to bring SUPP back to its golden and glorious years. Will be a Shocker if Richard is defeated here.(white)
4.Sarikei:- MP Ding would have won this time round but unfortunately the infighting in the Sarikei area between Wong Soon Koh’s men and David Teng’s men have shifted significantly towards the DAP. The sacking of Stephan Wong has had an adverse effect. He though has actively campaigned for the seat when the party had long ago announced that incumbent Ding would defend it in the general election. Tough for Ding as he faces enemies also from within (Grey/Black)
5.Lanang:- MP Tiong with all his influence and in any other GE he would easily pull through. He has even taken DAP to task and this are his words”You just look around – what have they done for the people? Nothing … except providing lip service and making more empty promises,”He will face off with Alice Lau who losts to Wong Soon Koh at Bawang Assan State seat. In 2008 Tiong polled 19,476 votes against DAP Wong Kee Woan’s 14,612 votes. This time round is his 5th term as candidate and it will be his toughest yet (Grey/Black)
6.Sibu:- In the by election DAP Wong Ho Leng won this seat. Wong would not defend this seat due to brain tumour and recoving from chemoteraphy. Temonggong Vincent Lau would bepitted against a new DAP candidate in Oscar Ling. Chances of wrestling the seat back from DAP looks very good as PBB ADUN Annuar has been working extra hard to win over the losts bumiputra votes during the byelections. They have both been seen working hand in hand and SUPP’s chances looks brighter eventhough this 95% urban seat. (Grey)
7. Miri:- Peter Chin will not seek another term and he has given the seat to his long time Political Secretary Sebastian Ting. Both SUPP and DAP are caught with their own infighting between their members and DAP has sacked 6 of its Senadin members as recent as 11th of March 2013 for insubordination and repeatedly tarnishing the party’s image. Sebastian is a hardworking and able candidate but the ‘winnable’ factor does point to Hii King Chiong a philantropists who according to sources in his CNY open house attracted more than 30000 people from all walks of life. Tough call for SUPP on this seat and Dr.Teo of PKR is waiting to pounce on SUPP’s uncertainties. (Grey)
Overall, SUPP will do well to win 4 out of 7 seats as the Chinese areas still are going all out to punish the party as their leaders have been seen to be looking after themeselves. The opposition are capitalising on the weaknesses of the SUPP party to win the seats and the infighting is not only amongst the top but it has reached also the grassroots. If the Team A and Team B infighting is put in the backburner the party SUPP still have a fighting chance against DAP. If not,you know the answer….!
8. Mas Gading:- The tussle of the G5 candidate in Tiki Lafe and SPDP Anthony Nogeh of standing as BN candidate will open the chance for PKR Candidate Willy Tumek or DAP Mordi Bimol to stand a fighting chance to win this seat. It will not be easy and eventhough many occasions there are 4 or 5 cornered fights BN still comes on top in this seat. PBB and SUPP have openly come out in support of Nogeh’s candidacy but Tiki remains hopeful. A last minute replacement for a “winnable” and acceptable candidate might just be the answer. A highly respected civil servant might be BN’s choice to esnure this seat is retained by BN/SPDP ( White/Grey)
9. Saratok:- Will the President of the party William Mawan be the chosen candidate? There are too many names being thrown around to replace incumbent Jelaing Mersat where many voters are waiting to throw him out if the party does not replace him with a credible candidate. Ali Biju the PKR candidate stands waiting to wrestle this Parliamentary seat from SPDP.
Even the BN component parties in Krian are keeping a close watch on the development of a “winnable” candidate. They will throw their weight behind when their party warlords sounds the bugle.(Grey/Black)
10. Bintulu:- It will not be a stroll in the park for MP Tiong King Sing and also Deputy President of SPDP. It does look an easy win but he has looked after his constituency well and many would not mark their votes against him. However this being a Chinese Majority area Tiong still needs to put in the extra effort to secure the win.(White)
11. Baram:- Incumbent Deputy Minister Jacob Sagan will need to fight the enemy within BN who has been hellbent to topple any candidate put up by the party. There have been “recordings of speeches” and its not so much the dam factor which is affecting his candidacy. Reports are also surfacing that the name of Anyi Ngau would be an acceptable face in Baram but Jacob has been given the blessings from the party.
It’s a tough fight nevertheless but Jacob would win in the final tally. Will BN change their minds to replace Jacob in the last minute? one hopes not as Ba’Kelalan state seat under the SPDP allocation fell due to last minute replacement.
SPDP 4 seats are touch and go and only 1 now is heavily favoured to be retained without much fanfare. A lot of ground work and propaganda works needs to be carried out to ensure the other 3 seats remains with BN. The G5 factor will be a major hurdle for BN to solve and decisions need to be work out and carried out for the party to win the 4 seats without interference from the sacked SPDP members and their followers. A highly unpopular call must be made by the BN hierarchy.
12. Sri Aman:- Masir Kujat the incumbent MP is under SEVERE ATTACK by his 2008 proposer businessman and former ADUN Donald Lawan. He will be challenged by DAP probable candidate Leon Jimmy Donald whose father was a former MP. SWP who made the call of going for all 6 seats under PRS have been dealt a blow by the resignation of its supreme council member and tipped to be candidate Andy Lawrence. (Grey)
13.Lubok Antu:-William Nyallau will come up against SWP President Larry Sng who was a former Assistant Minister. Many expects Larry to pull through without much problems but the resigantions of 3 of its younger supreme council members is proving to throw spanner in the parties works. Ground forces say Nyallau will be ably assisted by the two(2) ADUNS and most of PRS heavyweights who would want to deal a black mark to Larry’s political career. SWP has even come up with a statement that ‘a broker” has been moving around to “buy” key party members and supporters. This will be a bitterly fought seat between not only PRS against SWP but also PKR Nicholas Bawin.(Grey/Black)
Nicholas has on numerous occasions questioned SWP,” I don’t know what they are fighting for. They said they fight against PRS, but at the same time declaring themselves as Barisan friendly. Politics must be taken seriously because it determines the future of the state and the country,” he said. (Grey/Black)
14.Julau:- Joseph Salang will square off with former friend turned enemy in Wong Judat who quit SPDP to stand as a SWP candidate. BN will face a tough fight but it is highly unlikely that Salang would be unseated from this seat. PKR will field a candidate but its candidate would not be much threat to Salang too. (Grey)
15. Kanowit:- Aaron Dagang was rumoured to be dropped and his candidacy would be taken over by Joseph Jawa. The incumbent is not very well received by the PRS hierarchy and he is only there as the seat belongs to PRS. Aarons close association with SPDP members runs foul of those in PRS. They want their own man in Kanowit but Aarons family ties with the former defunct PBDS Party president Leo Moggie still swings the pendulum to him. Aaron is likely to face a candidate from Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) and Thomas Laja from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR). (White/Grey)
16. Ulu Rejang:-PRS anointed candidate Wilson Ugak will take on SWP George Lagong and PKR Abun Siu. However,Billy Abit says he is very much still confident and winnable as the incumbent and will be hoping that his more than ”cordial” links with his long term association with the Federal leaders will be enough for him to be renominated.
Even former Kapit District council Chairman has thrown his weight behind Billy Abit. Quoted statement:-Anyone can claim to be the next BN (Barisan Nasional) candidate in any constituency, but facts speak for themselves as Datuk Billy is still the MP, incumbent and the people in Baleh have been showing outstanding support for him,”
(Grey)
17. Selangau:- The 13th general election, the Selangau seat is proving to be a tough battleground for its incumbent Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) deputy president Joseph Entulu. He will be faced with SWP defacto leader and former MP Sng Chee Hua and PKR’s likely candidate Josuha Jabeng. SWP and PKR are using personal issues to unseat Entulu. They are going round telling the voters that his “personal”intersts outweighs what is good for the Selangau are.
They said Entulu had no master plan for the development of Selangau that could generate incomes despite being its elected representative for more than 20 years.Even basic amenities like clinic, schools, clean water, electricity and roads are still lacking.
This rural enclave BN says takes time to develop and it steps are taken by the Entulu as he is the deputy rural and development minister. Sng will use whatever means to fight against his former junior colleague in PRS. This will be a closely watched battle as a former Deputy president of PRS Sng Chee Hua takes on the current deputy President. Who will win? Who is your last dollar on? (Grey/Black)
PRS final tally would be 5 out of 6 winnable and hard fought wins. Which seat will fall remains questionable as it will depend very much on where both SWP and PRS concentrate their machineries. PKR would be hoping to capitalise on the weaknesses created by both SWP and PRS to steal ‘a seat” under their noses.
PBB remains very united going into the GE13. There have been attempts which appeared in SarawakReport on loyalists of Taib Mahmud and Awang Tengah putting their own candidates but the party has stayed intact. Their operations room are all ready and equip with all the basic amenities required for the elections. One must never be complacent says a PBB senior leader and we know that there are some seats which will be tough. He named Limbang,Lawas,Batang Lupar and Sibuti where the candidates needs to put in the extra efforts to secure and maintain the winning streak for BN.
He further commented,”Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), the backbone of state BN, is confident of repeating its success by retaining all the 14 seats allocated to it.
18. Igan :- Abdul Wahab bin Haji Dollah who has won the seat twice uncontested reminded us he can defend his seat in the coming general election as the opposition in the area is unorganised. (White)
19. Sibuti:- PAS Robby Tandang will take on incumbent MP Ahmad Lai in this seat. The issues are mainly personal on the ground against Ahmad Lai as the opposition is using his lack of appearance on the ground to campaign against him. Federal issues takes a back seat here. (Grey)
20.Samarahan:- This area will see a new face being introduced as Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib is not seeking re-election. A woman candidate district officer Rubiah Wang is highly tipped to be the candidate here. However, highly placed sources have also been informed that the son of a prominent Minister is also being touted to be Sulaimans replacement. Sulaiman posted a winning majority of 11,411 votes defeating PKR’s Hussain Abang Apok and Independent Awg Bakar Awg Daud in 2008. (White)
21. Betong:- Noel Bucking from PKR will be the main challenger against Douglas Uggah Minister of Natural Resources and Environment who will be vying for his fifth term as a candidate. The main issue will be targetted on the “accordance of respect to Betong’s Panglima Gagah Berani (PGB) holder Wilfred Gomez Malong” PKR said they will give Uggah a run for his money as he won the seat with a majority of 11,709 votes against Stanley Jugol of the Sarawak National Party in 2008. (White)
22. Petra Jaya:- This majority malay semi- urban seat of PetraJaya will see PBB Youth Chief Fadillah Yusof and also Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation locking horns with Sarawak Wanita PKR head Norhanim Mokhsen. Fadillah is quietly confident in securing another mandate from the people in Petrajaya eventhough he will be facing the PKR Sarawak Wanita chief. In 2008 Fadillah polled 19515 votes against PKR’s Mohamad jolhi who secured 5118 votes. (White)
23. Limbang:- Baru Bian PKR ADUN for Ba’Kelalan and PKR Sarawak Stae Liason chief will take on MP for Limbang Hasbi bin Habibolah. This is one seat where PBB will feel the “heat’ from PKR as in 2008 MP Hasbi polled 6427 against PKr’s Lau Liak Koi who garnered 5751 votes. The votes swing will determine whether PBB will be able to maintain its stranglehold on this seat. (Grey/Black)
24. Lawas:- Henry Sum Agong in 2008 polled 8526 votes against PKR’s Japar Suyut who managed only 734 votes. However in this GE13 he will be challenged by a more credible candidate in veteran dentist in Dr.Bob Baru who will stand on a DAP ticket. Even the incumbent MP Henry acknowledge that,”Dr Bob is well-known to the people of Lawas and Ba Kelalan and he himself needs to intensify his efforts and up his ante” (White)
25. Mambong:- Tourism Deputy Minister Dr. James Dawos Mamit in 2008 polled 14182 against PKR candidate in Majen Panyog who garnered 7525. DAP is also interested in this seat in 2013 as their candidate from Mangan Ngandok has also stated his stand to be a candidate. PKR’s aspiring candidate would be Willie Mongin who is a Kuala Lumpur based businessman. This seat will be a toss up between the two Pakatan hopefuls against the incumbent MP Dr.James Dawos.( White/Grey)
26. Mukah:- In 2008 Dr.Muhammad Leo Michael Toyad Abdullah said this would be his last term as MP. He won convincing with 10090 against Independant Hai bin Merawin @Bonadventure who got 3792 votes. It seems though that he is being asked to stand again as there will be credible candidates from DAP or PKR who will try to wrestle this seat away from PBB. Wong Ho Leng the DAP Sarawak chief was quoted to say,”Yes, we certainly have a candidate, a local Melanau and if we stand together, we would be able to conquer Mukah,” (White)
27. Batang Sadong:- GE12 Nancy Shukri a first timer MP polled 8183 votes against Piee bin Ling of PKR who managed 2758. She has quietly done her work and been on the ground very often but aspiring PBB candidates are finding faults to have her replaced. The warlords are using all their muscle to ensure that she is not chosen and they have gone at times overboard in their quests. She remains the “winnable” lady candidate for the area and her approachability has created so many enemies in PBB who consider her fast rise and popularity within the party as a threat.Even Assistant Minister Naroden Majais is feeling undermined by her popularity which makes her supporters even more hopeful that she will win her 2nd elections with a far greater majority.(White/Grey)
28. Tanjong Manis:- Will Norah Abdul Rahman be fielded? This is a Sure win seat and anyone fielded in this constituency will face little or no resistance at all. Elected unopposed in 2008 Norah must have been very angry by the timing of the Global Witness video which implicated her sisters Fatimah and Norlia in the video.
Sources close to the Chief Minister said he was very upset and this could even affect Norah’s candidacy. It’s on everyones lips and fielding her might have serious repercussions on the whole outlook for BN Sarawak as a whole. Unless and if a scapegoat is found the candidacy of Norah remains “fluid”. PKR sources are monitoring the situation and could field a candidate from outside in the last minute to stop BN from winning uncontested again. (White)
29. Batang Lupar:- ABU Rohani(anyone but you) have been used to knock out the MP who is seen to be working very hard in the constituency. In 2008 she secured 11015 against her PAS candidate Abang Eddy Allyanni who managed 2923.
Her majority is so convincing that some aspiring candidates just cannot wait for her to call it a day to be named. She is presently the Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism and many locals have found her work satisfactory to say the least. There have been many unkind reports filed to discredit her good work.
Word from the Pakatan front is that PKR Sarawak SG Abang Zulkifli Abang Engkeh is the likeliest candidate to be fielded. However PAS have also made claims to the seat as they too are moving in the area.
Rohani said she was prepared and ready to take on whoever the Opposition decided to field against her in the seat. PBB in the surrounding areas needs to show all their support to her instead of trying to create a wedge and hamper the election machinery.
Truth be told this will be capitalised by Pakatan if left unchecked. (Grey/White)
30. Santubong:- Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar won handsomely by 15800 in 2008 against Rahamat Idil Latip who polled 3855. According to PKR sources their candidate in GE13 would be Zulrushdi Mohamed Hol.
Rumours in the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) circles say that Junaidi is likely to be dropped from the list of candidates for the coming parliamentary election.
Will he? He is seen championing many issues of late and this could be a message to his political masters that he is still needed in Sarawak. The name of Dr Abang Draup Zamahari Abg Zen, chairman of State Housing Commission and Drahman Jaladin, PBB Deputy chief of Pantai Damai Branch have cropped up very often.

BTN Datuk Raja Arif Bin Raja Ali (Ketua Pengarah) in his Crisis of Content said,”When we posts GARBAGE in obviously GARBAGE will come out. audie61 met him at the sidelines of the Cyber Activists Forum organised by BNYCT in Damansara for tea. He further reiterate that bloggers,facebookers should at all times be careful in what they posts or they will land themselves in the wrong side of the law.
Earlier we tweeted on MP Kala’s opening address,”BN fights for the Nation Malaysia” while Pakatan fighting & still fighting for who is going to be PM” Obviously there were very unhappy remarks from the opposition members.
At the end of the full day forum OC and UMB UMNO chief Tun Faisal echoed and rallied the cybertroopers on what his BN and UMNO Youth Chief have told all,”Fitnah lawan Fakta” This can be read in full below from the newspaper article

I was trying to pinch myself when I heard from a fellow blogger who told me,'Bro,now besides some egoistic politicians it has caught on to the bloggers fraternity. There are a select few who prides themselves way above everyone else. The last few weeks we have seen some elite bloggers having their own brotherly guns turned on them.
Naming names or rather their blogs would be a Cardinal Sin as their noses would grow a few more centimetres.

Two Political Secretaries to CM spoke to audie61 over the weekend with regards to UNITY as we approached the GE13. Their BIG BOSS CM Taib have already put the foot down and said in so many words,”Go down to the ground and ensure the message is filtered down and that the BN coalition is united as we enter the GE13.”
Natasha of audie61 pressed further on the question to one of the PBB allocated PS on Sarawak report’s allegation of the plot to topple CM. He said,’Too much fabrications and half truths on the Sarawak Report’s but going into the GE we will be united and the party itself will look after their own problems when the Party Convention hits top gear. We know what to do when the time comes”
Now is not the time but the Sarawak Report article hit the “touch point” of the party where it is really timely, which has unified the party to go into the GE13 to win all 14 seats allocated. Moreover,the Federal and State relations where political watchers have said is SOURED received a morale-booster as PM Najib came out openly to quashed all rumours once an for all when Najib said he has full confidence in Taib running Sarawak as long as its in the BN interests.
The Chap Goh Mei message to 10000 diners at MJC in Kuching Sarawak is an indicator that Najib has full confidence in Taibs leadership. This political endorsement from PM Najib has seen Taib criss crossing the State of Sarawak and delivering the message loud and clear “Janji di Tepati” to give BN and Najib the clearest mandate to lead the country.
From Long Lama to Betong Taib has maintained that he has full confidence in BN candidates. Even yesterday Taib said,”To me,whichever candidate that flies the BN symbol of ‘dacing’ is the real BN candidate.William Nylau using the BN logo,vote him so that BN will win here.”
The PBB political secretary said,’My boss walks his talk and we should walk with him and ensure that reaches the ground. No question about that.!!”
The SPDP Political secretary meanswhile said,’There are now no last minute candidate or helicoptered party candidate. We lost Ba’Kelalan to PKR by 400 over votes is because the candidate was a last minute choice and in this respect going into the GE we have 4 seats and when we are united we will win all the 4 seats.
The party has stood solidly behind Barisan Nasional under the leadership of PM Najib and CM Taib eventhough we have lost 5 assemblyman and 1 MP. We have taken out the “traitors” and “enemies from within” the party and those loyalists will stand firm.
Natasha said tell me
Let me quote you from your President Mawan before you answer ,”There may be surprises. We will never know. I do not know and only the prime minister knows. I don’t think we can rule it out.”
Mawan believed whatever decisions the prime minister take would be based on the spirit of BN and he would not stray away from that.“We still need maximum cooperation from among the BN component parties and we don’t want to contradict each other. The end result is getting maximum cooperation and support from the people,”
The Political Secretary said fine all being said and done but going into the GE13,” the BN Coalition of PBB,SUPP and PRS will stand solidly behind our candidates in the 4 areas and we likewise will have our members fighting together as one united BN against be it Pakatan group in PKR,DAP or PAS and also against the so-called BN friendly SWP or independant candidates.
The G5 were sacked for insubordination against the party and the MP Tiki Laffe who is the incumbent for Mas Gading P192 will not be fielded and in place will be the party’s choice of Anthony Nogeh. As far as the party and grassroots are concerned he is the designated candidiate unless due to unforseen circumstances (you know… no need to mention) in place too will be a party CHOSEN candidate.
He further reiterated that Mawan’s words,”With the cooperation from the federal and state governments, whatever we can do to assist from all angles, we should be able to win.”
On the plot to topple CM by certain quarters he said,”rumours,half-truths or fabrication can turn to be real and as usual we must remember this,”Sapa makan cili, dia la terasa pedas‘ (don’t play with fire,you might get burnt). We are solidly behind CM and CM knows what and how to handle the situation and we believe him.
He quoted this and this he reminded that in politics,‘We make our choices to follow. However one must not test one’s loyalties too far.” The same grouping in BN must fight all out as one and not to even look over their shoulders that their alliances will run away from them. Both must also take care of each other and eat the same meals “
The unity and comradeship shown by the BN4 Sarawak should be commended as only when there is unity the BOND IS UNBREAKABLE.

A group of Wanita YB’s and MPs at the entrance of a dinner function spoke to audie61 and said to us,”Is it wrong for the Wanita BN to lobby for seats?” Obviously our answer was no,no.{ trying to be diplomatic ….)
My braincells went into overdrive and said,” if the grassroots and people in Saratok is for her,she has made her presence and intentions known there is no reason why the State BN,Federal BN Chairman would not consider her if the party submits her name.”
Furthermore we also know that 18 out of the 31 Parliamentary Seats the women voters exceeds the male voters.Great !! we got it right there when we answered the YBs and MPs. They reminded us to please check up the statistics.
These are the statistics from SPR which we checked,” 1,069,654 voters in Sarawak 534,516 which makes up 49.97% are women voters.
Are we going to be drawn in a gender warfare but being party members in SPDP we too need to protect our party’s interest and not to let the opposition have a field day.
If anything PKR and Pakatan have already penned in their candidate Assemblyman Ali Biju to stand as a candidate in the forthcoming Parliamentary elections. A source cloes to the selection committee in PKR said they were also toying with Puan Nurhanim Datuk Mokhsen Ketua Wanita Sarawak to be fielded in Saratok but decided otherwise.
Only during nomination day we will know and before the names are on the nomination papers there will still be lobbying done. Even if you have printed your posters it doesn’t necessarily mean you are chosen as there might still be some political twists and turns.
What actually started this conversation? It had something to do with William Mawan President of SPDP rumours which have put him in the forefront to be a candidate. We also wrote on February 5th “Mawan Whitens Saratok” It did turn to Barbara as they all know her well enough to say a thing or two about her. Of course for a cup of coffee we would tell you but not here in cyberspace.
Could this statement which appeared in a local daily too had the wanita legislators throwing their weight on Barbara,” “We, representing the BN components in Saratok, agree and propose that the BN candidate for Saratok is picked from our women members.”
It does seem Saratok P205 is now very much in the radar and we can’t deny the fact as this statement appears in the local daily today. (see below)
Extracted:-
SIBU: Speculations on the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Saratok parliamentary seat should cease and the focus channelled towards ensuring it remains with the party.
Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) supreme council member Chambai Lindong said on Friday that in the true spirit of BN, any differences should be put aside to prevent the opposition from exploiting issues to their advantage.
“Now is not the time to speculate. Our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has been moving around to ensure everything is in place and this shows that the election is very near.
“What is of utmost importance is for all members and leaders from grassroots level upwards to work in a concerted manner, reinforced by strong support from other BN component parties to retain the BN’s stronghold this impending election,” Chambai told thesundaypost.
He was responding to a news report which claimed members of BN component parties in Saratok wanted the ruling coalition to field more women candidates in the coming election.
It quoted Nasir Manap – Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Hossin Sulaiman and Lim Kieng Huat – SPDP, Roland Angking – Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) as well as Lau Pun Hui and Wee Lee Gua – Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) as saying they wanted a woman candidate to be fielded in Saratok.
They claimed this was in response to Najib and Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud’s call for a big victory for BN this election.
“That statement purportedly came from certain people, comprising certain councillors and certain individuals, and that is about all. To say that certain people would like to see a woman candidate for BN in Saratok is a valid expression of choice of preference,” said Chambai.
“There is no distinction among genders and anyone can offer himself or herself or push for his or her preference in the media.”
However, he said the statement was rather vague and should have been backed up with details from the party divisions concerned.
“I believe this is an individual’s impression rather than party’s opinions. I am not saying that they are wrong as they expressed their view on their preference.
“But at the end of the day, what counts is that whoever is being picked by the top BN leadership, the candidate will be able to win for BN. It is best to leave everything to the PM’s wisdom.”
On speculation that he was among the several names said to replace incumbent member of parliament Jelaing Mersat, who is Deputy Transport Minister, Chambai laughed.
“In all honesty, I do not know how my name came about but I guess with speculation you will always have more than one name,” he replied.

Mahathir former Prime Minister of Malaysia still holds the blade of the sword which can and still determines the next Prime Minister of Malaysia. Though many point fingers at him for the many wrongs that he had done during his tenure as PM one can never run away from the fact that Mahathir put Malaysia in the World Map.
Till today you would shout with joy and enthusiasm when the group of you say this in a foreign country,’MALAYSIA BOLEH”. Wouldn’t You?
I was a late upstart in politics though my roots were very much entrenched with it. In other words I am still naive unlike Mahathir they say, so whats has this got to do with Anwar going to Putrajaya? This is a continuation.Am I confusing you my friend? Don’t be and read on…
Yesterday we wrote on Pakatan v BN and before I called it a day the question was”
An early phone call and an sms got me out of bed and the message was simple”Read between the lines of the RCI on Sabah on what Grand Masters (Mahathir) message.
It dawned to me on the many sad tales on how and who were involved at that particular time in Sabah. {Former MPBandar Kuching Sim Kwang Yang would say this to me again,”Get to the Point” Don’t pusing,pusing was what he told me in front of Haris Ibrahim,Del Capo and Wong Chin Huat when and before Hornbill Unleashed Blog took the Sarawak cyberspace and well before Sarawak Report.} This has got nothing to do with Anwar going to Putrajaya one may ask and i may say you are spot on and correct.
Whats the big deal than? Chedet or Mahathir was also a blogger and many followed his thoughts and writings in the internet lambasting the wrongs of the government of the day and he also left UMNO. Today by virtue of being in the know he has sliced open the painstaking efforts of Anwar trying to convince Sabahans the time is now for a change and getting to Putrajaya with the Pakatan group.
Sarawakians also would hold back after knowing their neighbour Sabah were dealt a raw deal by the then Director of Operations as Mahathir put it and this extracted from Malaysiakini”
Get to the point you will be shouting. So what that was nearly 25 years ago. Times have changed and Anwar is now the Opposition Leader which holds DAP,PAS and PKR together as a United front in Pakatan.
Sabahans must remember to find the truth too? Who else is involved? PM Mahathir at that time wanted to find ways to see an end to PBS rule. Who was the chief strategist? Did Anwar use all his knowhow then to ensure that he has a major stake in taking over the State of Sabah and thereby in major manoevering of his quests for the 25 UMNO divisions which would easily propel him to be UMNO President and PM Malaysia.
His first attempt failed and the rests they say is history and Mahathir knows that he still holds the blade and Anwar is slicing himself wide open and has blood trickling down from his hands.
As we approach the GE13 many unhealthy political dirt would surface and its only right that we must digress fully and not only vote for the persons we want but also ensure that the coalition knows what is the whole “masteplan” behind the absolute quest for Putrajaya. PAS and DAP knows they can capitalise on Anwars rhetorics,charm and crowd puller for Putrajaya and obviously holds them together.
Najib’s “unelected” PM posts so what..!! He has brought the RC1 on Sabah and the truth will prevail. Sabahans will get to the bottom of it and they will know who is the real culprti behind it all. Are or will they be more names brought out and sacrificed for the better good of Malaysia.?
We pick our leaders and like Sabahans we as Sarawakians knows who our leaders are and for better or worse after we vote them will have to judge them and seed how they perform. If they really are not up to our espectations we change them. But remember the YB’s and MPs are by the people,for the people and with the people and what we are voting for in this GE13 will have a major impact on where we stand as a Nation in years to come.
I want to write more but the RC1 Sabah findings will have a major bearing on the mindset of how Sabah and Sarawakians vote (25+31 MPs) into Parliament.
Mahathir led the nation for 22 years and he knows a little or more about this protege Anwar and though they are on differnt platforms now the people will still remember that Mahathir put Malaysia on world stage and when the Grand Master speaks the knife sticks at the heart and in the brain.
You will make your choice in GE13 and Anwar will need to convince you all that he is not involved but its not possible as he was very much Mahathirs” blue eyed boy” then. They would be others involved and will take centrestage.
Hopefully sir/madam your friends are not involved and we know DAP/PAS are looking at these developments of the RC1 with an eye towards the GE13 and also whether their dreams of Putrajaya will be halted by all the findings.
Are you still with us? Until next time more to folllow
