DAP to contest under PAS, PKR tickets

 KUALA LUMPUR (April 18, 2013): DAP will not be able to use its rocket symbol in the coming general election, following two letters issued by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) on Wednesday – just three days before nomination – which in effect render the party’s office-bearers impotent.

As a consequence, the DAP at an emergency meeting last night had decided it will contest under the PAS logo in the peninsula and the PKR logo in East Malaysia unless the Registrar of Societies (ROS) revokes its April 17 letter which de-recognised the party’s office-bearers by 3pm today.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng told an emotionally charged press conference after the central executive committee (CEC) meeting held at its headquarters that the ROS issuance of the letter is a politically motivated move intended at “sabotaging” DAP’s chance in the upcoming polls.

“By not recognising the CEC office-bearers elected on Dec 15 (2012), I have no power to issue authorisation letters to DAP candidates to use the rocket symbol, in my official capacity as secretary-general.

“There is no point in relying on assurances given by the Election Commission (EC) that DAP can still use our rocket symbol when it possesses a sad record of broken promises,” said an incensed Lim.

“We will not surrender … It is a battle of survival. How do we explain to the voters why we need to contest using another party’s logo?” said Lim who at one point was holding back tears.

Also present were DAP chairman Karpal Singh and party supremo Lim Kit Siang who both admitted to being deeply affected by the decision to not contest under the rocket symbol as they had done in past elections.

“It is a sad and traumatic (feeling) but we are being forced into this situation.

“The rocket is deeply entrenched in DAP’s psyche,” said Karpal.

Kit Siang also admitted to shedding tears over the possibility that the party may not be able to contest under its own banner for the first time in its 48-year history. He also described the decision as a “high-risk” move which the party is willing to take.

The ROS has informed the DAP that the official inquiry into complaints over its CEC, which was to be heard today, had been postponed to May 9.

This, in effect, leaves the DAP leadership issue in limbo until then.

Karpal had on Wednesday said the party’s election returning officer Pooi Weng Keong and election strategist Ong Kian Meng were to attend a hearing by ROS on the alleged irregularities yesterday.

ROS stated in its letter it could de-register DAP as a political party following official complaints that non-CEC members had attended a CEC meeting, and that 753 delegates had either not received their ballot papers at least 10 days in advance, or at all.

Lim said there should be no issue of de-registration, judgment or action before the ongoing probe and official inquiry are completed.

DAP’s Pakatan Rakyat partners immediately offered to assist the party.

“On behalf of PAS, I am ready to sign any letter needed by a DAP candidate,” said PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali.

PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution echoed the support, saying PKR’s top leadership had no issue in helping DAP.

“PAS and PKR are our loyal partners and we really thank them for standing by us and helping us out in this time of crisis,” said Lim, adding if DAP candidates do not receive authorisation from another party to use its symbol, they would have to contest as independents, which the DAP will not accept.

On a news report yesterday that Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz had given the green light for DAP to contest under its own symbol, Kit Siang said it needs to be in black and white for the party to consider such a move.

“We will not take the risk of banking our entire election campaign on verbal promises by the EC, especially when we received the faxed letter less than 48 hours before nomination day.

“However, behind every crisis, there is an opportunity. We hope the people can see that dirty underhand tactics are being used.”

Meanwhile, CEC member Gobind Singh Deo pointed out that the CEC referred to by the ROS was appointed on Dec 15 last year, whereas a new CEC had, in fact, been appointed on Jan 4 this year after the party was contacted by the ROS.

“DAP has all this while been in communication with the ROS over the complaints raised, so the letter comes as a surprise.

ROS director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Othma in a statement issued late Thursday evening said however that the party has not been de-registered and can still use its symbol for the general election.

123 to 135 seats to BN

Extracted :- In Sarawak, Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud will deliver 100 percent of his PBB seats to the BN and hence secure the majority of Sarawak seats. However, the PRS and SPDP may lose a couple of Dayak seats to PKR. The SUPP will come under a strong challenge from DAP and could lose all its Chinese majority.

What the extracted statement meant a political watcher said “In totality Sarawak BN will secure at least 22 to 24 out of the 31 PARLIAMENTARY SEATS it contest.”

SPDP seats he said under threat are Baram and Mas Gading. Saratok will see some resistance. However the good work and “personal touch” by the Puteri’s led by Puteri Chief Barbara Mawan plus some of the Putera’s have made inroads in the Malay area of Kabong and Paoloh.They have spent countless hours in their time and devotion to the party to ensure it remains a BN seat. Bintulu will have some little ‘hiccups” in the Chinese areas but overall it remains a BN  stronghold.

SUPP will see DAP making inroads in Miri,Sarikei,Stampin,Lanang and SUPP has an uphill tasks in Bandar Kuching but pulling a surprise win here is not impossible while Sibu will be 50:50 and Serian the Bidayuh’s still have a soft spot for Richard Riot and he has looked after his constituency well enough to be voted back in.

PRS as of now will see at least three- cornered fight in all their allocated 6 seats with PKR and SWP joining in. PRS under threat seat would be Hulu Rejang where the infighting can and will escalate if Billy is renominated and PKR would use this to wrestle the seat away. Sources on the ground are also anticipating a bitter fight in the area where the SWP President will be standing and PRS will not relinquish their seat so easily.

Localised flavoured issues will still be the ‘main dish” on the menu eventhough the electorates are going for the General Elections. The pick of a ‘winnable and popularist” elected representative will still swing the votes for many Sarawakians.

Please find below the whole extracted article :-

The upcoming 13th general elections will be a much-anticipated, most exciting and nail-biting election in the country’s history.
Speculation on the election date has gone on for almost one year. The options for the election timing is getting shorter. It is expected that the GE will be held on April 14 or 21.
There are three possible outcomes for the coming election:
Scenario 1: The present status quo remains Scenario 2: A reduced majority for BN Scenario 3: BN regains two-thirds majority
There are 222 parliamentary seats in the country, of which about 150 are Malay/bumiputera seats, 30 mixed seats and 42 Chinese-majority seats.

In the 2008 elections, BN won 140 seats and the opposition won 82 seats. A further breakdown shows that Umno won 79 seats, MCA 15 seats, MIC 3 and Gerakan 2, PKR won 31 seats, DAP 28 seats and PAS 23 seats.
From our analysis, it is becoming quite clear that the rural population has largely returned to BN, in particular rural Malays has largely shifted back to Umno.
In this regard, Umno is expected to win more seats than in 2008. It is likely that Umno may win 85 to 90 parliamentary seats, up from their existing 79 seats. There is also a clear trend that Indian voters in rural and semi urban areas have also shifted back to BN. However, the urban voters are largely still with Pakatan Rakyat.
Even though urban Malay voters may support Pakatan and even if more urban Malays were to support Pakatan in the urban seats, it will not increase seats for Pakatan as these urban seats are already held by DAP.
However, the urban voters are still very much with the opposition in particular. The urban Chinese are very strongly supporting the DAP.
As high as 85 percent of urban Chinese may vote for the DAP. This will increase the DAP’s numbers of seats won to 35-40 seats, up from the 28 seats DAP won in 2008, making DAP the biggest opposition party in Pakatan. Chinese voters still pro-opposition
The prime minister’s hope is that his various outreach programmes to the Chinese community can win over some of the undecided Chinese voters but that is still a difficult challenge. Most of the Chinese seems to have made up their mind.
Some older Chinese and the Chinese business community may want to give Najib a chance. They value peace, stability and prosperity and like Najib‘s engaging style, like his presence at the Dong Zong Chinese New Year Open House.
In a recent roundtable and study on the main concerns of the Chinese community organised by Asli’s Centre for Public Policy Studies, it was determined that the main issues of concern to the Chinese community are crime and corruption, education, cost of living, fairness and justice, cultural and religious issues, lack of civil service participation and lack of meritocracy.
These have caused frustrations among the Chinese voters.
However, if the Malay and Indian swing back to Umno-BN is strong, it will help MCA and Gerakan in the mixed seats where Malay voters account for higher than 40 percent and Indian voters are between 10-15 percent of the constituencies, such as Padang Serai and Gopeng.
Many of the undecided voters will want to see who are the candidates being put up by the parties and how the campaign unfolds. A gaffe or a mistake can be very costly during the campaign period.
The campaign can be a dirty campaign with a lot of personal attacks and accusations thrown by both sides. Surprises can be revealed during the campaign.
Najib will campaign from a position of strength. His popularity and personality and his hard work and tenacity can win him a lot of support. Obviously, he is more popular than his party.
Najib’s proven track record in the transformation programmes and economic performance with the 6.4 percent GDP growth in the 4th quarter of 2012 stands him and the BN government in good stead.
On the other hand, there is some urban dissatisfaction on the abuses of power, human rights violations, crime and corruption. BN should win Kedah and Perak
In Sarawak, Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud will deliver 100 percent of his PBB seats to the BN and hence secure the majority of Sarawak seats. However, the PRS and SPDP may lose a couple of Dayak seats to PKR.
The SUPP will come under a strong challenge from DAP and could lose all its Chinese majority seats to DAP but win back Sibu with a new strong candidate and retain the Dayak majority seat of its deputy president Richard Riot, hence winning two out of its six parliamentary seats.
In Sabah, Sabah Umno should be able to do well, leading the BN to regain control of the state government. Again DAP will win in several more Chinese-majority seats.
In Peninsular Malaysia, the MCA seats that will hard fought are Gelang Patah, Kulai and Tanjung Piai in Johor and Lumut in Perak. These seats can be vulnerable.
On the other hand, MCA has a good chance of winning back Padang Serai, Gopeng and Selayang should there be a strong Malay and Indian swing back to BN.
In the state contests, Pakatan should retain Kelantan and Penang but will face a strong challenge from BN.
In Penang, if the Malay swing is strong, Umno may win 17 Malay seats and if MCA and Gerakan can win just four more seats, BN will narrowly regain Penang.
The fight for Selangor will be the toughest and it is 50:50 for either side. BN should win Kedah and Perak where the Malay swing back to Umno could help Umno win back PKR and PAS state seats in Perak although the DAP will still likely hold on to all its Chinese-majority seats in Perak.
Margin of BN’s victory uncertain In the final analysis, the BN will win the 13th general election. The only uncertainty remains in the size of the majority.
From our analysis, BN is expected to win between 123 to 135 seats. This is the most likely outcome. However, if the Malay and Indian swing back to BN is very strong and Najib is able to bring back more undecided Chinese, BN can win up to 150 seats, which will restore the BN’s two-thirds majority. This outcome will be a difficult challenge.
The third scenario is the BN retains about the same number of seats around 140, which it won in 2008.
Nevertheless what can be certain is that the two big winners in the coming elections will be Umno and DAP.
What is also important to consider is the shape of the post-GE13 government.
Will there be a new political realignment? Will Umno seeks a new alliance with PAS for Malay and Muslim unity? How will this impact on the non-Malays and non-Muslims?
Will the two big expected election winners Umno and DAP seek a new political realignment?
Nothing is impossible after the general election. After all, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in politics. These are the sort of post-election scenarios that need to be also considered.

Johor’s War Between “DAP V PKR”

This is what has been written and we extract the whole version from Malaysiakini for all readers 

The long-standing dispute over seat allocations between DAP and PKR in Johor has escalated into open warfare.

DAP state chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau has urged PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim or president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to take over the state leadership from Chua Jui Meng.

Describing Chua as an “overlord” in a statement in Chinese issued today, Boo (left) said he could no longer work with Chua, whose “arrogance” has damaged the strong collaboration built between Johor DAP and PKR before Chua took over the helm in 2010.
Chua defected from MCA to PKR in July 2009.     “I am anxious and worried about the collapsing relationship among Pakatan Rakyat coalition parties in Johor over the past two year,”  said Boo, who is the assemblyperson for Skudai.
“Most DAP and PKR leaders and those at the grassroots have no problem cooperating, but the arrogance of Chua, which has gone beyond the parties, is the main reason for the split in Johor Pakatan.”
He went on to demand that Anwar or Wan Azizah take over Chua’s post as state chief to coordinate ties among Pakatan parties in Johor, which is crucial if Pakatan is to capture Putrajaya in the coming general election.
Boo was unhappy that Chua, in an interview with Malaysiakini, had criticised DAP for recommending its Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong for the Gelang Patah parliamentary seat which PKR had contested in the past two general elections.
“Chua (right) himself also repeatedly announced that he will represent PKR in Gelang Patah, although the Pakatan central leadership has not made any final decision,” said Boo.
“He also rejected many proposals of Johor DAP and PAS, as if he is the overlord of Johor.”
Boo claimed that discussion of seat allocations had been smooth from 1995 to 2008, and that DAP has been instrumental in balancing the interests of the three parties, citing these examples:
1. Although DAP had contested the Tangkak state seat in 1990, 1995 and 1999, it gave the seat to PKR in 2004.
In 2008, upon DAP’s request, PAS gave the Ledang parliamentary seat to DAP on condition that Tangkak was returned to DAP. All parties were satisfied with the arrangement.
2. DAP gave Gelang Patah to then Johor PKR head Abdul Razak Ahmad in 1995 and 2004 despite this being a Chinese-majority seat, as he was widely respected by the grassroots of both parties. In 1999, Abdul Razak agreed to let DAP contest Gelang Patah, saying the party could win in long run.
However, Abdul Razak died in 2007 without leaving any written agreement on the allocation of Gelang Patah. In 2008, PKR state chief Dr Zaleha Mustafa went against the agreement and contested the seat.
Boo claimed that a survey had then shown that the DAP has a better chance of wresting back Gelang Patah from MCA, but that the findings were not given attention.
“If DAP had contested in Gelang Patah, probably Pakatan would have won the seat in 2008.”
‘Proposals rejected’
In the latest attempt to conclude the seat negotiations, said Boo, the DAP has convinced PAS to give PKR the Tebrau parliamentary constituency, a seat held by MCA and where the majority of voters are non-Malays.
“In return, DAP will contest in Gelang Patah… the seat allocation will be the same as in 2008 – PKR will contest 11 parliamentary seats, DAP will contest seven and the remaining eight will be contested by PAS,” said Boo.
He said the DAP has also suggested that PAS gives more state seats to PKR for a balanced scenario.
However, Boo claimed that Chua had arbitrarily rejected the proposal, as well as consensus reached by grassroots leaders of the three parties on seats in Johor Bahru.
They decided that the Johor Bahru parliamentary seat and the two state seats within it – Stulang and Tanjung Puteri – will be contested by PKR, DAP and PAS respectively.
“Chua is new in Pakatan but he does not respect the long history of close collaboration among the three parties, and has distorted history to claim that only PKR contested Gelang Patah in the past, dismissing the previous agreement between PKR and DAP.” Without mincing words, Boo accused Chua of “turning PKR into another MCA” that defames DAP and its leaders.
He also claimed that Chua has been pressuring him to give up the Bakri or Segamat parliamentary seats in exchange of Gelang Patah.
“The reason behind Chua’s selfish and unreasonable demand is to find himself a safe seat,” said Boo.
He pointed out that other parliamentary seats – Tebrau, Batu Pahat, Pasir Gudang, Muar and Ledang – are winnable constituencies for PKR if it works hard.

Malaysiakini is attempting to contact Chua for comment.

DAP “PAS Penang Unhappy..??”

We wrote on January 6th 2013 as “Schoolboys Error In Tabulation or Otherwise..?”on the Elections Glitch by DAP.

It’s resurfacing again and ROS (Registrar of Society)as the relevant authority should be questioning the party. There are some members who are unhappy or need to know the truth but it seems the book will be slammed at them with 18(C) Societies Act  that it cannot be challenged in court.

Correct! Spot on! PRS (Party Rakyat Sarawak)went through it and so did PBDS/SNAP which are Barisan National Coalition parties. Is there an exccption to the rule? At the time of writing this came out filed at 2.18pm{Registrar of Societies (ROS) is calling all those who have submitted memorandum about the DAP polls fiasco to meet this week.}

Read more: DAP polls fiasco: ROS calls on members who submitted memo to meet – Latest – New Straits Times http://www.nst.com.my/latest/dap-polls-fiasco-ros-calls-on-members-who-submitted-memo-to-meet-1.205610#ixzz2IgPci8B8

DAP we anticipate will come up with a statement “our members leave it to the party leaders fine judgement and those who submitted are not members or former members” Will they just do that?

This too have come out openly from PAS Penang current and former members which was a demonstration of another matter “Allah issue” but even so the above was brought up. Former state PAS Youth chief Mohd Hafiz Mohd Nordin told the DAP to clean up its own party, which had recently been tainted by an electoral glitch during the central executive committee polls.

He said Malays knew that the DAP was trying to promote a non-Malay, Zairil Khir Johari, as a Malay leader.

DAP Karpal and his merry men will say its a CLOSED CASE as far as another party election is concerned but it takes only those BRAVE DAP member to submit their memorandums plus findings to ROS and lodge a formal complaint.

It will be ROS show after that. Don’t you think so? 

Information:-

* Section 18c of the act reads that “any matter relating to the affairs of the party shall be final and conclusive and such decision shall not be challenged, appealed against, reviewed, quashed or called in question in any court on any ground.”

DAP “Schoolboys Error In Tabulation or Otherwise..?”

DAP, everyone once in a lifetime one have used the phrase” two wrongs don’t make a right “. Of course we are referring to your recent election of new-office bearers where ‘Malays’ let alone ‘Dayaks or Kadazans”were elected into the central committee.

Whatever happened to your election scrutineers in tabulation? Was it a genuine schoolboys mistake or otherwise? We cannot answer that but the damage has already been done and to correct the wrongdoing doesn’t make it ALL RIGHT..!!

DAP can also argue that according to its constitution they can do all acts or things specified elsewhere in that they can make adjustments or put things in order.

However, we ask “shouldn’t there be a Emergency Central Committee Meeting to look into this “fiasco” and deliberate it through?

Furthermore,”Shouldn’t the Secretary-General notify the Central Committee on this matter as it will affect the political wellbeing of the party especially with ‘oversights” on election results?

DAP members must bewildered and they need Answers.

This blog www://hantulautan.blogspot.com  played up this issue http://hantulautan.blogspot.com/2013/01/tony-puas-stupidity-umnos-blessing-in.html. However what caught our eyes were this which we extract:-

DAP’s recent party
election is another bellwether, where none of the the Malay candidates made it to the fore.

This may sound paradoxical to the pro-opposition
supporters,  but as Albert Einstein says “reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”.

Sometimes, truth can emerge in the strangest of
ways. 

DAP for all their true intentions on trying to put it right have been under severe political attacks and criticisms from major political parties in UMNO, MCA,Gerakan and other BN parties.

This is a serious matter and it only takes a DAP member to file a complaint to the ROS the party will need to convene another election for office bearers.

Will there be any brave DAP Memeber to write officially to ROS and the party? That is their internal problem and its up to the party members to make their moves.

WAS IT A GENUINE SCHOOLBOYS ERROR..??

Pakatan Rakyat “Yea, Right Life Changes after 2008??”

The only person who escaped the cough and flu of audie61team was Augustine. He went through a few blogs and came about this Biswardi’s blog http://biswardi.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/does-my-life-change-after-voting-pakatan-rakyat-in-2008/

We told him to reposts as its got value and moreover it will make people think twice before they vote.

Source By: KS Lee

I voted for a change in 2008. Hold on. Let me rephrase that, I voted for better tomorrow in 2008. Born to a low income Chinese family, everything about me in adulthood is average at best. Contrary to popular belief that Chinese in Malaysia earns more than the other races, to be honest I don’t earn a 5-figure salary after 20 years of working, neither do I have a penchant for business.

Like most average Chinese who works for big corporations, living in KL can be quite difficult. Raising two preschool children with wife who is not working, I live on paycheque-to-paycheque basis. My aging father and mother-in-law are staying with us, shortly after the twins were born. Our rented terrace house in Puchong is vulnerable to all sort of problems, from roof leaks to wall cracks to termite attack.

While Puchong may not be the best place to live, but do I have a choice? At least it is better than Cheras!. Often we have to cramp for space but we make do. Since I don’t intend to make this the letter a venue for my sob story, generally I’m not complaining, but what I do know that things can be better. Lost within the foray of election campaign in 2008, I thought it was impossible for the incumbent government to top the offer and promises made by Pakatan Rakyat in so far as Selangor is concerned.

Consistently feeling jilted, denounced and sidelined by UMNO-controlled Barisan, I didn’t think twice before voting for Pakatan. But post 2008 general election, politics (or in this case politicians) and the act of fulfilling promises for Selangor became strangers. I waited in vain for the direct financial help to ease the burden of my family’s expenses as a middle income earner, it didn’t happen. Allow me to be specific.

Pakatan Rakyat promised in 2008 to give free education to all preschool children in Selangor between the ages of 5 to 6-years old. In 2011, the twins turned 5 years old, but I still have to pay RM150 a month for each child in kindergarten’s fee. Perhaps they needed time to make the plan for the free preschool education to materialize, but as they now seek for fresh mandate to govern Selangor again in GE13, I am still paying for preschool education fees for the twins until they start Primary 1 next year.

Did my life or family life changed after voting Pakatan? So, calculatedly speaking, if I am paying RM150 a month per child for preschool education, I have to fork out RM3,600 a year in education fees alone. Fine, let’s move on to another matter. One of the most attractive pledges made by Pakatan Rakyat in 2008 which attracted me to vote was the special allowance between RM150 to RM 250 per month to all fulltime housewives in Selangor.

The prospect of getting that extra, however little that is to you, will make a difference to my big family. It could easily help with the grocery or utility bill. Of course that, too, didn’t happen. If it happens (which is not the case) my wife and I will have an extra of RM3,000 a year. Fine, let’s move on again. My wife and I have always been hoping to own a place as soon as we can afford it. The renting has been going on since our dating days and frankly I am quite sick of it.

Owning a property will make a smart investment if things get bad in the future. So I fell for Pakatan’s promise to ‘aid’ every Selangor citizen to own a home. Clearly, the aid never came. We are still renting the house we live in now. And if the reports by the newspaper and internet bear any truth at all, I know Pakatan has a lot more to answer for undelivered promises in Selangor.

Forgive my ignorance, but I don’t see them actively establishing religious institutions other than Islam as promised. And I wonder, is our religion inferior to the great Islam professed by the majority of this country? What about the promise to give free medical services to all Selangor citizens above the age of 65? Despite me constantly bashing and criticizing Federal Government, my father and mother-in-law still frequent the free 1Malaysia clinic.

Both suffering from diabetes and hypertension, they are still waiting for the free medical services promised by Pakatan Rakyat. I asked myself, why did I refuse to acknowledge Pakatans’s failure in delivering its promises? My pride stopped me from answering. I don’t know much about property, as you know, I haven’t even bought one myself. But I remember Pakatan’s promise to lower residential taxes by 20% and 10% on commercial premises in Selangor. I haven’t seen that happening anywhere.

Since this is not directly related to me, I let go of this promise too. But the biggest joke of them all is when Pakatan scoffed at RM900 minimum wage introduced last year. To me, it’s better the RM900 than the lies to defend poor people like farmers and fishermen by implementing a minimum wage of RM1,200! Did Pakatan Selangor make that happen? No.

Regardless what Pakatan has in store with regards to their political manifesto to gain more voters via PKR Buku Jingga or Belanjawan Pakatan Rakyat 2013, it is very clear to me what has been promised to the people versus what is being implemented in reality is two different thing. For a Selangor born Chinese, my vote for Pakatan has now directly costs me RM6,600 a year on the kindergarten’s fee and housewife’s allowance. Remember, just like everyone else, I voted for a change in 2008. However, with all the undelivered promises and series of excuses, clearly I am not going to make the same mistake again.

ANWARJETANDA ..Ooh la la..Jetsetters!!

PROPAGANDA916 BO-HONG ..NOW ITS CALLED ANWARJETANDA 

The mass media.tweeters and blogsphere are just CASHING on the latest Pakatan or Anwar spunned Propaganda to boost up Pakatans image that they too have “FRIENDS” in the Corporate World who are willing to take the risks.

DID ANWAR JUST TOLD ANOTHER BO-HONG..?

We tweeted this morning

1. Mohd.Taufik Omar says to Utusan Malaysia’he is not Anwar’s friend and rental service done professionally.

• DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT ANWAR SAID EARLIER?
• DO WE NEED TO WRITE IT HERE?

2. Mohd Taufik Omar rents d jet Sarawak businessman pays d rent? Who is Sarawakian who paid?

• Did not Nurul Izzah(maybe some conveniently does not know that she is Anwar’s daughter the MP for Lembah Pantai) tweeted “”wht’s d issue w a jet trip loaned by a friend? Aint ours, aint public funds.“

Ooh la la Next its ANWARJETANDA..(translated ..IT’S ANWARS JET)

One by one its coming out of the closet and its revealing itself as Propaganda 916 as we mentioned failed and Anwar is trying to get BN off his back by using another BOHONG of pitting the intelligence of the rakyat to vote for them and using a private jet is nothing.

1. Whatever happened to Everybody can Fly?
2. Is Air Asia/Maswings/MAS too inconvenient for Anwars itinerary? 

We should look further than what it all boils down too.If they come to power all his cabinet will be loaned with Private jets. They might justs have private escapades and meetings outside the country. Many businessman would be cashing on  $96000 for them to crisscross to Sabah/Sarawak.

IS ANWARJETANDA HERE TO STAY..??

I still will ask PKR YB See Chee How to tell his boss to tell me looking in my eyes and say,” Audie do you believe me now.

Lim Kit Siang Leaving.??

Lim Kit Siang DAP Supremo seems to have forgotten a “Golden Rule” look at yourself first before you talk about others. He can rant,condemn and tell the whole of Malaysia that Taib should keep his part of the deal to step down by midterm but what about he HIMSELF.

Hasn’t he been part of the Malaysian bookshelf for a good 40 years or more as he first won as an MP in 1969 in Bandar Melaka Constituency. Age too is not on his side and he has already succeeded in making his son the Chief Minister of Penang.

WHY DONT HE JUST SAY TO CM TAIB,”LETS RETIRE TOGETHER…

Surely,Lim Kit Siang knows that he like many veteran opposition leaders feels that Putrajaya is within their reach and its unfinished business. If they signal that their time is up they will miss the GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. We shall see wouldn’t we and the GE13 is not too far away.

Taib too have a final hand to play in GE13 and Kit Siang knows unless the grandmaster of Sarawak politics is no more ,winning Sarawak State is still an impossible dream.

The person who takes over from Taib will not be able to control and dictate by just the looks of the eyes. The successor will have a large shoe to fit and the opposition will have more leverage.

The same will happen too for DAP when Lim Kit Siang calls it a day.

The article which appeared in the internet portal:-Looks like Taib is here to stay.

About a year and a half ago, tensions between Kuching and Putrajaya rose when there was a debate on when Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud should step down.

Worried that Taib’s 30-year rule of Sarawak would sour BN’s chances in the April 2011 Sarawak state election, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak crisscrossed the state, promising that Taib would step down soon.

As the heat poured on, Taib declared that he would step down in “two years” midway through the campaign, only to say ambiguously he would step down “mid-term” after it was clear that he had won the election convincingly.

However, all this talk of Taib stepping down in “two years” – which would mean April next year – appear to have all come to naught based on the speeches of Najib and Taib last Sunday.

In a press release today, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang pointed out that the duo seemed to be complementing each other on stage during the national-level Malaysia Day celebration in Bintulu.

Najib praised the cooperation and support of Taib administration’s for the federal government, while Taib praised the premier and alluded that his administration cannot be replaced by a “political newcomer”.

These on-stage theatrics did not impress Lim, who described it as a public “love fest”.

“But what the Najib-Taib ‘love fest’ in Bintulu camouflaged was the clear victory hands-down by Taib in the political tug-of-war with Najib.

“The reason is also very simple and straightforward – the tables have been turned, with Taib now having more political leverage vis-à-vis Najib instead of the other way round 18 months ago before the state election,” said Lim.

DAP “We want Your Votes Sarawakians..!!”

It’s not even Election Campaigning period yet and still there was a Ceramah At BDC Kuching, Sarawak where Kuchingnites turned out in droves to listen to DAP SG and Chief Minister of Penang Lim Guan Eng.  

It has become a norm where mosts opposition events,rallies and ceramahs where the interests is growing and sometimes thousands turn up just to be seen and listen. LGE broke the ice when he said ‘when MP Chong Invited him to Kuching for a ceramah he jockingly said to Chong in Hockien{ A Boh,Bo Lang Lai } -Can or not no one will turn up. 

Who will want to listen to me? At that instant he said,’Wah! This morning at the MBKS Community Programme 2012 themed “My City,My Home” at Tabuan Jaya he was told by YB Violet that only a handful meaning 1000 turned up to meet CM Taib. He said he is honoured that Kuchingnites and Sarawakians have given him an overwhelming support to turn up tonight for this UBAH Night at BDC and he was told the crowd has swelled to over 5000.

So he said Ah Jin “Chong Chieng Jin must be correct to say people are giving a listening ear to DAP. DAP knows that Stampin Constituency is under SUPP and the incumbent is Yong Khoon Seng but he has already signalled that he is not seeking relection. Chong is eyeing this constituency of 80000 voters and he knows that his Bandar Kuching Seat is a safe seat for a new face in Dr.Tang (his personal assistant)

DAP knows that SUPP 7 parliamentary seats are all up for grabs as the Chinese Community are turning their backs on the party. It is and will be a tough battle for SUPP judging from the turnout at BDC. LGE hit the right chord and many in the crowd were nodding ,clapping as he said he has proven that he has tried to run a state by being Mr.Clean. He mentioned,”The decision is yours to follow and if you want to follow what Penang government has done its your choice in putting the right people in the right place.

HE and DAP are on a crusade and that is getting into the minds of the voters in that,”Pakatan needs Sarawak to give them the votes to form the next Federal Government” LGE has previously targetted 12 seats in Sarawak and he will try to woo the voters by whatever means possible and he judging from the DAP collection boxes and the amount collected at all this well planned and marketed well ceramah SUPP will have problems a plenty.

SUPP will have their own strategies to counter but they need all the help from all the component parties in whatever ways and however ways to ensure that BN Sarawak will still remain a bastion for the coalition. When a former ADUN and an assistant Minister said,”posters and propaganda does not vote” he was proven wrong and he losts miserably.

This day and age with so much advancement in the technological field even the rural voters are becoming voter smart. The urban voters they say cannot be swayed but till now we are not convinced that “its a lost hope”. SUPP needs to work their programmes well and musts be collectively responsible and reach out even to the last minute of the midnight hour to secure that one (1) vote.

DAP are reaching not only the hearts of the urban voters but their propaganda have reached the brains of the voters/sympathisers who will just blah blah out from their mouths”DON”T WASTE YOUR VOTES ON SUPP”

SUPP needs to up their ante and with fresh faces,new ideas,highly motivated team they will give DAP a run for their EGOS and chip away the winning edges from them. The people will know as SUPP will field the potential candidates who will fight for them in Parliament and will ensure that they will be proud to have voted for them.

Not only DAP have calibre candidates but SUPP does have too and they need to be the ones who needs to reach out and convince the voters that they are the one. Nothing comes easy on a platter and SUPP needs to conjure up their resources and ensure their party workers are on the same wave lenght as the candidate themselves.

The team factor will bring them through but all strategies needs to be planned and carried out not mediocre manner but with enthusiasm and giving 100 percent.

Sarawakians will vote wisely and DAP knows that Sarawkians are no fools and they need to also work hard to maintain their 2 seats which are in their hands at the present time. SUPP needs to prove to all the detractors wrong and ensure that they maintain their iron grip on the 7 seats allocated to them by the BN coalition.

It goes without saying that DAP and SUPP will eyeballing each other till the elections are over.

YOUR CHOICE OF PARLIAMENTARIANS IN 222 CONSTITUENCIES

Over the long Gawai weekend it was not only a time of celebration,exchanging pleasantries but also many political gossips especially from the grassroot and voters from the constituencies. One particular area which is basically a semi rural seat where the local flavour/winnable,humble and acceptable candidate is very much the order of day is none other than Mas Gading 192 Parliamentary seat. 

Its also an understanding between the Jagoi/Singai group that in 1996 they drew out an agreement that one of the clauses stated that when the MP is from the Jagoi community then the assemblyman has to be from the Singai group.

One voter even said,” you just look at the list which is being drawn up by the holding party SPDP here Rayan Narong, Anthony Nogeh, William Jinep, Henry Jinep and Ik Pahon Joyik. After much 
politiking it is now SPDP’s choice which is Salcra deputy general manager Anthony Nogeh as their pick for Mas Gading in the coming 13th general election.

OK they say to keep the peace as per agreement,Henry Jinep will have to contain with a state seat in the next elections replacing Tasik Biru incumbent Peter Nansian while Nogeh will be the replacement for Tiki Laffe.
Its not about the state elections now this is about the Parliamentary seat where DAP/PKR are in direct tussle,STAR and other independants are also eyeing this seat.

But to the many who were randomly asked and spoken to many still feel “Tiki is very much still the man to beat. He is HARMLESS as he doesn’t care too much about politiking but still does his job efficently especially though in the lasts 6 months.(hehehe)

He does however look arrogant but in actual fact he is approachable and has a listening ear to his constituents. Many feels that the Federal leaders are still very much in favour of Tiki as they have extended his tenure as NSTC(national service training camp) Chairman.

Brother they said,”Isn’t it better to know the devil who you are familiar with than to know a Saint who will turn out to be worst than you can imagine..?.” 

SPDP will have their hands full this time round unless Tiki tells us otherwise.

Parliament of Malaysia: Mas Gading, Sarawak^[5]

We came across this statement from an internet portal and this bests describe what we meant by picking 1 is difficult whatmore 222 candidates for Malaysia Parliament.

Malaysians should choose their leaders without fear or favour and support those who can deliver the goods. Candidates with tainted background should be removed. Only those willing to sacrifice and serve the people should command the respect and recognition of Malaysians to safeguard and strengthen the future of the nation.

ARE YOU ALL IN AGREEMENT? WE SAW YOU NOD…
