PBB “Supportive for Solidarity”

The journalists and UMB BN cyber troopers that attended the courtesy visit of SPDP Pending Division to Fadillah Yusof (Deputy Minister of Science,Technology and Innovation , PBB Pending Chairman and Sarawak State Youth Chairman ) got what they wanted to hear,”In terms of solidarity PBB is all out together for solidarity with all the other component parties in SUPP,PRS and SPDP. Thus this P195 and P196 Friends of BN we are fully behind supporting the idea through.”

Meanwhile,Wanita Chief of Pending Winnie Lim mentioned to the journalist this will make us work harder to strenthen the BN machinery in anticipation of the upcoming GE13. We are not competing with anyone and we are playing a supplementary role to assist our component party SUPP in P195 and P196. The programme/concept is collectively well received by members of 4 component parties. 

If the opposition parties thinks that its going to be a “walk in the park” against BN they are in for a real fright come this GE13 says one of the BN Youth Exco.  

PRU13 “Pakatan Joining In December/March..??

Oooh Yeah.. Just being reminded by a component Sarawak State BN Secretary-General that he will be taking the flight out today to KL. Nerve racking for sure he says as on November 1st Najib will be meeting BN State leaders in Putrajaya.

The adrenalin is building up as he spoke to us as he anticipates that the PM will be asking a million and one questions on his party. Well,we shall know soon wouldn’t we? The signs plus signals are positive that the PM wants to consider all options before he announces the Parliament dissolution to prepare for GE13. Could he justs..hmmm?

A party member joined in to say one thing remains ,”Will the Pakatan states throw in a spanner in the works. Somehow my gut feeling is that Kelantan will join in as if they delay they will be experiencing an onslaught by BN. This way if GE called in December or in March they will join in. The other states of Selangor,Penang and Kedah will opt out and gauge how Pakatan performs in the GE13.”

Absolutely,they have got nothing to lose by waiting. The mandate is given by the people of the respective states and they will see it out serving the people who voted them in. 

The twists might even be that one or two of the BN States co-opted out and just concentrate on the Federal elections to also derail Pakatan. Anything is possible in politics.

COULD BN BE SMART ENOUGH FOR THIS…??

YOU ARE.PICK UP YOUR PHONE NOW..

PKR/SPDP “Political Vultures”

The speed in which Vice President Sylvester Entri capitalised on the weaknesses of President Mawan is an opportunity which he has been reminded that he has to exploit. Entri acted fasts with his group who remains intact after the State elections. Mawans right and left arm has been severed in that he not only losts his SG Nelson who was not renominated to stand but also his Deputy President Nyarok who losts to PKR Ali Biju in Krian.

The numbers game now looks like that Entri has 4 Aduns and 1 Mp while Mawan has 3 Mps and 2 Aduns.What remains though according to a close political aide in Mawans camp is,”Who is actually behind Entri and the group? What do they intend to achieve and will they be an End Result.?”

The party will surely be divided no matter what happens now and the only way to see an end to the infighting would be a TDC where the winner takes all. The fractures are highly visible and both sides would not just give in as the real ” war ” in the State elections is already achieved.

 The battles and skirmishes within SPDP will carry on and the vultures will circle around the party hoping to pick up what is left behind. Entri is moving ahead with his agenda and he is fighting for the ultimate prize.He is capitalising on the ever growing disturbing distrusts amongst the party faithful towards the President and sees himself as a Champion in unifying the resources available in the party to achieve his goal.

The President remains unmoved as he knows the majority are with him but the numbers can easily be switched as time and time again political scenarios changes and at times of crisis it will always be very fluid. Certainly there has been whispers on the ground that one or two of the MPs might just take this opportunity to be aligned to Entri as it was mentioned that Mawan has said only ‘winnable candidates” will be picked for the General Elections.

The question is the party can recommend but who has the final say? The ticket is still a “Federal Barisan National Candidate” Of course they will be lobbying for the seat but even if the Party President says he is my man but if the BN Federal Chairman decides otherwise chances are the party still needs to toe the line. Entri according to our source is moving in this direction and he knows that the “strong hidden hands” are all out to assist him. 

Will Mawan be fooled by this political strategy thrown down by Entri’s Hidden hands? Mawan has shown to be cool and calculated unlike Entri as per this newpaper article” was seen as ‘jumpy’ after SPDP president William Mawan advised party members not to create any more factions.” Mawan still has strong man MP Tiong behind him for advise and the financial pull but one cannot underestimate Entri too.

This battle in SPDP needs to be clipped sooner rather than later as the longer it carries on the party will lose its direction and the trusts of its members and the public as a whole. A party which has infighting will surely bear the brunt of the voters. This is a reminder which was mentioned by Azmin Ali then VP now Deputy President of PKR at a dinner in Kuching and in his ceramahs in and around Sarawak,”A party which goes into an elections embroiled in infighting will certainly pay the price by losing the seat. We must capitalise”

BN knows that it musts see an end to this infighting and of course there musts be a ‘negotiator’ in place. It does no good to BN and Pakatan will and make no mistake about it as Azmin has already sounded the battle cry. The cracks in SPDP will surely be an advantage and PKR/Pakatan knows that the 4 seats which SPDP holds will provide them that opportunity. 

The sooner the misconceived disagreements be settled the better it is for BN/SPDP. On paper PKR will also have marked winnable seats from SPDP.

Who will benefit more…..?

The political vultures are circling above and we don’t need to have a political degree to work it out.

“Anwar in Sarawak on the 30th”

Apa dia buat disini..? Sumber berkata Anwar cari Jam Omega di Serikin…hahaha

It seems that Anwar will be in Kuching on the 30th of March to announce some of the candidates and the number is Taibs Favourite No which is 9. Besides that he will be giving to the candidates “$900,000.. each”  to wrestle this 9 winnable seats.

 Is this the carrot to tempt the PKR candidate for shopping..?? Will BN candidates be tempted..? Surely, someone must be just pushing up the numbers of ringgit available as Baru Bian on the other hand seems to be asking for donation. 

 Baru Bian must have been too tired to wait for the $$$$$$ from PKR Headquaters or the financiers and thats why he is quietly looking at alternatives for funding the Sarawak elections.

Goes to show that in desperate times people might use other measures to find solutions and answers. Wow..!! Any takers for Anwars $900 K..??   

Surely the BN will not be fooled by the offer on the table if there is any. What else will they come up with next.?  By the way for those who dont know where Serikin is please “google’ it up.

The press will have a field day on the 30th and the political boys from BN will be watching and having their ears on the ground. 

Anwar should have just come on the 1st of April shouldn’t he..??

PKR “Balai Ringin Ketua Cabang”

It goes without saying “An hour in politics is certainly a long time for the rural voters.”The PKR supporters knows that they need to be patient in the heat of the election. The intensity and the commitment shown by the candidates in garnering support was second to none. There were close calls of “eruption of fireworks” and also just  a minor skimish of “shouts of disgusts“heard but cool heads by the PKR scrutineers prevented the cancellation of voting according to a PKR spokesman to audie61.

Balai Ringin the first Iban Majority Seat and Constituency saw a three way tussle on who deserves to head the division. PKR Wanita Chief Ibi Uding was challenged by Sarawak PKR Vice President Jimmy Donald and PKR Member Cobbold John.

The final tally of results Jimmy Donald heads the division with 84 votes with Udi Uding polling 76 votes while Cobbold only managed 10 with 2 spoit votes.

It is indeed a severe blow for the PKR Sarawak Wanita chief as she will need to reassess her strength on the ground.She will need to close ranks and remain hopeful that she will still be picked to stand as a candidate for the upcoming state elections in N25 Balai Ringin.

WILL SHE STILL BE PICKED ..??

SUPP” Far From Over 2″

The phone rang very early and it was a very familiar ring tone. We immediatedly called back and on the other side was the SUPP Pemanca who we have not heard for a good six months. He has gone on a good tour to visit his sons in Australia and must have enjoyed himself tremendously. He said,”Breakfast young man and lets talk about my dear party.”

He bought me laksa and we sat down for a good chit chat. He reminded me to look up the previous article and reposts it to remind the SUPP boys. He started “EE LANG BEH HIAW TIA.PBB TO KONG SUPP SIANG BANG PARTY LOH.LANG KA WA KONG” {They will never listen.Even PBB say SUPP is already like a mosquito party.People tell me when I was still away}

He carried on and said,”If the party does not pull in new,calibre and a face well accepted by the constituency the party will still be where it is in Kuching. He said that he was well pleased to hear that the Cardiac Doctor Sim was earmarked and Pending will be a good battleground. Kota Sentosa it will take a herculean push by Alfred Yap to unseat Chong. There is also a possibilty that Chong might make way for his young protege Wong King Wei and if he does that it will be even harder to unseat DAP.

Chong it seems will go for the BN bastion of Batu Kawa. (Aboi A Chai Ho!) {Don’t know yet HO!} This might just be a wise move by Chong as on the ground he has done nothing much for the constituency of Kota Sentosa. Seems the defeated candidate Alfred Yap has put in more hours than his usual workload and he is slowly gaining more appraisals than condemnations.

 He is seen to be mixing freely and listening to his constituents more and once he told audie61,”Its hard work in an urban constituency. We must not take anything forgranted. When I was in Batu Kawa constituency it was very safe and work was concentrated in a few areas. Kota sentosa is a challenge but we will not just let DAP get away scot free.”

The Pemanca nodded and agreed that Yap has genuinely put in more efforts for SUPP to try to gain a foothold back for losts seats. It was his mistake to move and for a friend he paid dearly for it.

Padungan he said if its Lily again eventhough Dominique who is not well accepted to be a candidate might find his outing this time easier than expected. (PANG SIN LANG A TANG FIGHT) {Mixing Hockien as he gets aggitated-Put in a New Face there will be a good fight}

Voon Lee Shan if he is still in Batu lintang Sih Hua Tong {A KANG KOH TAMPO- O } {Will experience some difficulty} But with the right amount of comradeship ,proper and systematic machinery at his disposal might just win over the voters in Batu Lintang. Take this from an old Pemanca who is already nearly 80 years old.

I have gone away on a holiday for a good six months or more and George Chan also went to UK I heard and they was a gag order again. How ironic from my first interview with audie61 he said. SUPP if they dont play their cards right and get the necessary ammunition to move the machinery they will be in for a difficult outing and may end up like Gerakan in 308. George {A CHAI WAH GONG HA MI} George knows what I am talking about.

Lu tatio pang ki kah SUPP Kong .{Please put up to tell SUPP} 

I was given my souvenir and he told me this thing will serve to knock some heads of SUPP if they dont listen well. YOU GUESS WHAT IT IS…

Our earlier article:- SUPP”Far from Over” November 20th 2009

An SUPP Pemanca said to audie61,” What Gag orders ?? They are treating us like Kids. We have sweated and toiled for SUPP all these years and used all our own dollars and cents and they think we are still children.” Hmmm very strong words from one who has seen good times and difficult times with SUPP even through the opposition days.

Don’t ever for once take us lightly and it is us who are the main players in SUPP and not the Ministers,Assstant Ministers and those who think they can wield their influence. I’m absolutedly ashamed of the “DUDONG signboard fiasco and its a real slap in the face of veteran SUPP members. Even PRS at its height of infighting or UMNO Protem Signboard no one dared to take it down.

He went on and said,” .” This is not only about Team A or team B and if it spills over and sees that SUPP is in bad shapeIsn’t it a slap at one’s face as whoever directed it to take it down forgot to look at the mirror good he said. We will rise like a PHOENIX. The late President Stephan Yong would have put his foot down earlier and  George Chan should have stepped in so much faster and now its a little too late to repair the damages done. What would you give SUPP chances in the next state elections?

He even went on to say and remind Wong Soon koh how his uncle Wong Soon Kai had tears in his eyes when his nephew a headmaster decided to step into the world of politics. Has he forgotten what are his ideals when he joined SUPP? Does he need to be reminded?

audie61 was invited to sit down for this lunch date and it came as a surprise from someone who loves SUPP so much and today seeing his beloved party in such a shameless state and the direction it is taking is not a step forward but three steps backwards. Don’t you think that the younger set of voters has had enough of SUPP and they will surely turn to DAP to fight for their rights. SUPP is only interested in fighting their own wars and have really forgotten their REAL SENSE OF BEING POLITICIANS.

It must be noted that most people join politics to try to better their own environment and a better grasps of individualistic aspirations. There must be a love for the party ,instinct for political survival and a joy of working in that environment. These must not be detached or else the ideals and central principles of a political life is just ZERO. It seems most SUPP members are so enbroiled in protecting their own camps or castles that they have forgotten their real tasks at hand.

A compromise solution is good but there must be tabled to the whole SUPP members on the parties direction and its course of actions. No use to talk and next day they are all at each others throats again. Its just plain nonsensical and the elder and veteran SUPP members has had enough up to their necks and some got themeslves in deep holes going for second mortgages to keep SUPP afloat.Have they forgotten?

The Pemanca added ,”A lot of explaining is needed and those who are just so power hungry should just be reminded to have a browse through the party constitution and do not make a mockery of SUPP as a party. ”

Did audie61 get himself in a tight situation? 25 years ago I signed on the dotted line to be a member on the shuttle flight between Singapore/KL  but I eventually ended up being very active  in the football arena  instead. Those days SUPP was the party for the people in Sarawak and many just love the thought of being a member of SUPP. Its a bit similar to the football scene even if one was being paid a $100 to watch Sarawak some would just take the $ but end up going to the movies.

SUPP is finding it hard to be the party people love and its all due to the leaders self interests and lacklustre attitude and completedly losing the plot of political ideals.

So the pages of Team A,Team B, Dudong branch fiasco will see a bitter end an a winner  takes all as it is a clear fact that Soon Koh has his eyes set on the Presidents Chair and so has David Teng. Will the SG Senator Sim be the spoiler and Peter Chin might just walked in put his hands on both the arm rests of the Presidents Chair.

Its far from over  in SUPP says the Pemanca and even George Chan has to think twice before he even dares to take my title away. Nothing is clear in politics and we will see more turmoils in SUPP before the ship steadies herself. Could this lunch meeting be the start of better things for SUPP and he just had a word for DAP Kota Sentosa assemblyman Chong “We are going to win back the seat and believe me and DAP will not know what hit them.” On one flip of a coin he suddenly sees a common enemy and has a go while his backyard the troubles are already at boiling point. The Pemanca ended by saying “For better or worse I am a SUPP member and this is my vow and its like a marriage vow. ”

“Unlikely Meetings For Some…??”

The knives are already drawn and ready to be pushed into and carve out piece by piece into the  Sarawak BN administration. The seemingly quiet groundswell built up by the Pakatan4 group has not help the situation either. BN is not only fighting the opposition who is on the other side of the fence but also from within amongst the component parties. 

Instantaneously, one can point to the open rivalry between the MP for Igan P207  Wahab Dollah and the two ADUNs under him YB N38 Abu Seman (Jemoreng) and YBN36 Mohd Asfia (Semop). He has openly said in so many words and a close confidant of a deputy minister from a component party even said to me,” I think I need to use Cotton Buds after hearing and seeing it.” I will be called a BULAK (Sarawakian slang for LIAR.) 

DO YOU BELIEVE OR IS THIS A SANDIWARA …?? NO POINT FOR US TO TELL YOU WHAT HAPPEN….U Find out!!

What about the Sibu SUPP unresolved Dudong issue? The SPDP 5 insistent of not budging from their stand? PRS claims on Pelagus still murky?

Its no wonder that the BN Sarawak Chairman needs some “miraculous Panadol” to solve these teething problem. He knows leaving it to the component party to solve their own problems will be a slow process and he needs to get his hands greased or the dirt will continue to pile up on himself. The past few months there has been so many allegations and unsavoury details of his accumulation of wealth and this has created a very “BAD PERCEPTION”

He can do no right at the moment.

The Pakatan group especially PKR and DAP are not spared the lashes from within. There have their set of problems and all is not well inside. The DAP Voon episode has created a bad taste in the mouth  for the DAP faithful. PKR has to deal with so much jostling for positions especially with their National convention in November. 

There will be more juicy articles after the Raya Holidays and we will try to fill you in with more details. Its still holiday and festive cheer and we went together with our journalists friends for some satay and cakes. Hope you like them…

PR/BN”Who are the Ghosts..??”

With so much information thrown about into the cyberworld nothing surprises us anymore. Are all the information factual or stirring up the people for the benefits of the political masters and parties concerned.

The platform of the internet and social blogs gives everyone and anyone a space to upload just about anything. However those who hide behind and try to stay anonymous will soon findout that their days are numbered.

There is so much the Government of the day can take and surely the authorities concerned will need to take the necesary actions. There are so many internet blogs which are putting stories,articles,allegations,accusations up to STIR UP THE EMOTIONS OF THE PEOPLE . Though it is good to be informed of malpractises,corruption,nepotism and all the white collar crimes but most rumours will start from some hyped up blogs.

If the blogs dares to publish the articles in the cyber world why can’t or wouldn’t they be daring enough to own up. Who will be so stupid though to give up their identity just like that says a political analysts.? In that case it seems that the authoritites concerned will soon be having the cyber troopers checking up on ths sites with anonymous names/withheld identities to own up or face the wrap.

THEY CAN BE GHOSTS BUT for How Long..?? Even Ghosts would not like to be wandering spirits do they..? Got you thinking right…!!

If the government/authorities concerned were to follow the olden days of governance the academicians,intellectual thinking minds,political extremists and bloggers included would not even live to FIGHT ANOTHER DAY..

Would you like to live in this world or a world where factual news and not overhyped sensitive news are played up. The PM Najib did say,”we must use alternative media responsibly” He has a blog and he also uses twitter and the PM condones irresponsible individuals who are all out to harm the country for their own personal gains or enhance their own blogging reputations.

Will millions of HITS be enough to satisfy the GHOSTS..? Maybe we need to burn RED candles for them..

You tell me as I have no jurisdiction over their minds and their hands. The Ghosts will obviously have the final say and it is up to those who receive the news via the internet or word of mouth to verify and ensure the news/rumour/speculative content.

The Propaganda can be very damaging and it is hope that genuine bloggers do not just reposts the “GHOSTS ARTICLES” to elevate their own sites. Each individual blog has their own character and personality and that is why at the end of the day the people will judge for themselves. The internet portals will also do well to check some of their cyber journalists stories and try to be more professional in their approach. They  say’ In journalism you have to get both sides of the stories or else it is just not even worth a dime“  

The GHOSTS days are numbered and even the GATES OF HELL IS OPEN ON A particular day.. 

BE REMINDED……

“Reading the Signs..!!”

Politics is about Perception. The signs for BN now is spiralling very low eventhough many would disagree. If it was “CLEAR SKIES” Sarawak BN Chairman would already have had the “INSPIRATION FOR THE SATURDAY DATE..”

The loss of P212 Sibu  is indeed a blessing says an aide and a political secretary to CM to audie61 . We would not have known what “hit us” if Sibu was a convincing win. Just goes to show that we will be very well prepared and ready to do battle and go all out in the war against Pakatan come the Sarawak State elections.

Without a doubt the people will have the final say but we have been on the ground engaging and trying to address the wrongs and misinformations by the Pakatan group towards us BN. The people will know how to read the signs and we are also very mindful of not misleading the people. 

THEY KNOW BETTER…….

Mayor-Parking Dues”EveryDog will have its Day”

The Mayor is not from a Political party. The Mayor is trying to recover the unpaid parking dues and of course he is mad. Our source said that $2miilion unclaimed dues so the money is not channelled back to MBKS/DBKU of which they have 40 % share in the company KCPS.

 He wants to reclaim the $ and $2miilion amounts to $800,000 and its substantial. Any one can help Mayor Chan? What are the councillors sitting there for? If the councillors cannot help the Mayor should get professional/consultant help Do I need to say further.?? 

Each and everyone of us are paying taxes not for the councillors to just sit there. This is not criticising the Mayor for his boldness but for a solution to be found. DAP has come out fighting and its time the SUPP party come out fighting instead of fighting amongst themselves. {Dudong and now Bengoh versus the rests for the Padawan Chairmans seat.}

Does it take  BN friendly people to tell us that its about time the BN wake up and with the loss of the Kuching seats its another way of regaining losts ground. DAP will have a field day and it seems the Mayor has just used an AK47 on the BN.   

One suggestion from audie61 crew,” We know the KCPS came out tops for the tender process of parking tickets collection. Now the issue is full blown similar to H1n1 second outbreak.

We say the solution is at the mayors fingertips. One solution  is that Kuching parking should be designated into at least 8 Zones with 8  Different companies Partcipating. IDEAS SHOULD BE SOUGHT OUT AND BETTER WAYS OF COLLECTION. Even the KPI AND KRA put forward and introduced by the Sarawak Federal Minister can be fully IMPLEMENTED. 

Its about time and it should also be noted though that many people in Kuching move houses and to even receive a past 2 years parking bill was a shocker in the system to yours sincerely. I dont want to pay is the understatement for $12.21 cents.(this of course we take it on the chin (overlooked on our part or is it)when it was sms to us - the mayor is put there to look after the Kuching peoples interests but not to look after a few unscrupulous people who have no responsibilty to pay for what they already use.)

 Imagine the voters in Kuching receiving the bills just before the State Elections..?? 2 0r 3 years late? Even those who were captured on Speed driving are disputing?

Are they better ways for KCPS to come out with it or the council to terminate the services of the company if $800,000 is not paid to the Council. Isnt this ISSUE about money due to the council?

 With the participation of more companies and each looking after zones it will see competition and the $ would be due to the council. The companies must also be made to pay up monthly when they tender for the car parking collection project. Isnt this what the opposition wants and isn”t this TRANSPERANCY ON THE PART OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.Isn’t this a way of winning the trusts back for the BN government..???

This is the solution Mr.Mayor who does not have any political affiliation and that is to open it up to more Companies with Zoning and see how the companies look after the Parking GOLD MINE TRADE.

They will no matter what pay the council as this business is lucrative. I am already giving away one of the many solutions which the Mayor should look into. Politics is very important Mayor or else you will not be there in the first place. Who is going to blame you for giving up this GOLD MINE to 8 companies.

We are pretty sure that the State Government will be only too happy with more companies sharing and having a part of the business in Kuching. When people are happy with the economy they will not have too much time for politics. People engage not for the sake of putting a suggestion across but to assist also in finding solutions.

We know we will not be getting Christmas or Greeting cards from the councillors in MBKS or the Mayor but we know also Every Dog will have its day. Who says that DAP will not have it tough with retaining the seats in Kuching.? Will SUPP make a return to former glories? What about the SEASONAL QUOTA SYSTEM TOO..? That is not for us to deliberate here but read what is attached below.

  Mayor’s property freeze plan under fire Share

Friday, 02 April 2010 02:21( The article which appeared in Malaysianmirror below)

 KUCHING – Kuching City South Mayor James Chan’s plan to collect parking offence compounds and overdue parking notices and linking it to a ‘freeze’ on offenders’ properties has come under fire. In a press conference Wednesday, Chan said there would be a linkage with relevant authorities and departments on parking compounds. If people want to sell their properties, they would be in for a hard time if they have outstanding parking fees to be settled. The plan for such a move did not auger well with Wong King Wei, Special Assistant to MP Kuching, Chong Chieng Jen. Wong, in a press conference this afternoon, hit out at such a ridiculous idea and urged Chan to drop such plans. Wong said parking compound may range from a few ringgits to a few hundreds but to ‘freeze’ one properties to force the people to pay would be too much. “Some properties are worth ten of thousands if not millions,” he said. He said it was such an abuse of human rights. He added that based on the principle of law, a personal debt did not allow the creditor to caveat even the debtor’s land. Citing an example of the Miri Municipal Council’s suggestion to the Road Transport not to renew a driver’s road tax if he has outstanding parking coupon debts, Wong said such ruling was against the violation of Article 13 of the Federal Constitution. Outstanding traffic summons He cited a court case – Leonard Lim vs Director of JPJ – two years ago when the latter prevented Lim from paying his road tax due to outstanding traffic summons. The High Court ruled that by blacklisting the road user due to an unsettled traffic summon is tantamount to compelling him to admit to the alleged offence and is against the principal that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The High Court further decided that to deny a person of a motor vehicle licence is to deny the person the use and enjoyment of his motor vehicle which is in contravention of Article 13 of the Federal Constitution. Wong said the judge further stated that the applicant was alleged of a traffic offence which is criminal in nature. He said in the unsettled parking coupons, it is not even a criminal allegation, it is a merely an unsettled debt. The city council should not force the people to admit to the unsettled debt unless they chose to do so in free will. To recover the debt, the city council should take civil Court action before a person can be adjudged as a debtor. Asking the Mayor and others city council to learn from the court case, Wong said they should think of other legal ways to collect the outstanding parking fees and not to resort to such action.
