PKR “Lets Look at the List..Tell Me..!!”

In this Malaysiakin report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/94031 politically two things stand outs. One is when Muhyiddin was asked whether Zaids latest move could be seen as “PROVOKING UMNO” and the answer was ,”He is just a small guy,he is wasting our time. and UMNO will not be Provoked” Secondly,Taib who hit out at Anwar telling the PKR congress that he will unseat the BN Sarawak Government in the next elections.

This had Taib saying,”Anwar’s attempt to concentrate on wresting  power in the peninsula had yet to produce results.”I don’t want to comment on people like that. Well, his (Anwar’s) credibility is not that high when he said Sept 16 is his target date which he promised to be the date to form a new government. Taib must have been very hot under the collar as this remarks came out,””Are you going to put that in printing or you don’t want to put it in printing. Isn’t it true?”

To us we question it time and time again on PKR’s interests as Taib short of saying, its a Peninsular based party and he will not be too worried. Even most political analysts are worried for Taib but he has endure many battles before and the Ming Court 1987 was even against his Uncle Tun Rahman led revolt with the Dayaks PBDS. Today its Anwar with the PKR Dayaks,”Mawan,Masing,Jabu,Linggi,Ujang,Uggah,Moggie on Anwars side maybe there is a glimmer of hope?”

Unrest and Dayaks awakening if there was another political party may I say,what was supposedly a new name for Parti Rakyat Sarawak during the factional infighting- that is G.O.L.D. meaning Gegasan Organisasi Landasan Dayak or M.D.C. Malaysians Dayak Congress the chances are much brighter. This is not about racial based parties but the dayaks represent more than 60% percent of the total population of Sarawak. They are DISUNITED sorry to say  BUT if there is UNITY you will know what will happen. But it also boils down to the Constituencies and the number of Voters breakdown. 

Lets repost this List and you will know what i mean. 3 months ago even a Dayak graduate was willing to sacrifice his years salary to the tune of nearly 50k in saying 29 dayak seats PKR will wrestle 26. I said lets have a small bet,”40K you lose 60K you win” Today he says I withdraw.WHY ask yourself WHY? Reality sets in and who is the Dayak leader that was most revered and he was none other than Tun Temonggong Jugah. 

Its not to incite the racial sentiments but Dayaks are holding Top government and Corporate sectors positions. MAS has Datuk Idris jala TNB has Moggie, State Secretary Datuk Wilson Baya just to name a few amongst the many dayaks in high positions in the civil service too. Marginalised I don’t think so! Enough written BUT lets take a more Perspective Rationale eventhough some times we are unhappy and want to VENT ALL our Frustrations. PKR has already dropped their BOMBS but BN will certainly know how to HIT BACK. Work your Seats then…..

In 2006 Sarawak State Elections there was 54 Straight Fights,13 3-cornered,1 4-cornered,1 5-cornered and 2 YBS were returned unopposed. Malaysiakini has posted a lot of articles on this subject and pleas find below the relevant related sources.

SARAWAK “PAKATAN” TAKEOVER or DESTROYED.!!

Another 916 statement to cover a failed takeover bid. This is the perception many has especially the masses who are living comfortably under the Sarawak BN nutshell. There is not even a hint of too much bother from the majority of the BN YBs as they say,”916 CAME AND GONE”

In this Malaysiakini report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93995 this headlines “Top PKR leaders made it clear today that Sarawak is the party’s next target of a take-over to replace the Sarawak BN government led by long-serving Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud.” Possible, of course if Rhetorics were to be Believed and can just CHANGE A GOVERNMENT..!!

Has any one ever really felt the pulse and heartbeat of most Sarawakians..? This from an internet portal ( He also claimed that there were Sarawakian BN MPs who had already pledged their full support.”Sometimes, I get dizzy. Because they will sign their full support but the next day, he goes back to Kuching and attacks us. When I ask why? He says because they are suspicious of him,” Anwar explained. So your PKR team is making use of your new found FAME to wrestle Sarawak and to make it a frontline STATE. Even a Datin of a prominent businessman said,”In her wildest dream she cannot imagine you will be back in the limelight”. Now the tune is different is it Anwar..? Firstly get your symbol with the 7 coalition partners as per the societies act then we talk. PKR like Azmin Ali said was chased out being a Peninsular based party before. Any different today and then..? Nope!!!

 Anwar,Sarawakians are simple minded people but those WHO HAVE WALKED the CORRIDORS OF POWER are still disgruntled and frustrated and they feel that the BN government has not given them “enough or have just sidelined” them. THIS IS POLITICS FRIENDS and do not jeorpadise your Sarawak well being for the benefit of others. Pakatan or BN we leave it to the next elections BUT for now the immediate tasks is to ride the financial crisis that is happening in the world. Inflation has set in and its time to use our blessed economic hats or BRAINS to assist the country instead of too much politiking. 

Who cares who runs Sarawak BUT lets not run away from the facts infront of us. Your three meals have to be taken care of,childrens education,housing and car loans etc etc have to be paid to the banks or any loan institutions. These are HARD FACTS and dont DREAM of sitting on the POWERS OF THE THRONE when you cannot even help yourselves. PAKATAN or BN both will destroy you if you dont face realities..TRUTH PREVAILS……….

“Tajem,Zaid and Yong..at PKR Congress..??”

I was informed by a former Journalist to have a look at the above picture. My first question was WHY..? My second was an answer he went as a GUESTS OF HONOUR is it wrong..? Thirdly dont read it too much that he is working in tandem with James Masing to bring PRS to the Pakatan group. Fourthly, I can be wrong as “Old Habits Die Hard” and ” There are no Enemies in Politics.”

Malaysiakini has this report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93975 Former minister Zaid Ibrahim and Sabah Progressive Party (Sapp) president Yong Teck Lee made a special appearance at the opening ceremony of the PKR annual congress today. But the presence of Daniel Tajem will send more than signals all the way up to the BN Sarawak. He was together with Masir (MP for Sri Aman) during the March GE 12th nomination day and also assisting the BN candidate in securing the seat. 

Could James steadfastly solid stand behind the State BN turned Daniel to look at another vehicle..? I would not like to speculate but many political watchers has even predicted that if PRS stays within the BN family only James Masing will come out a winner. Out of 9 seats ,8 will fall to Pakatan. Really, but we have to be honest when we look back to the 1987 State elections aptly termed,”MING COURT SAGA”. The state assembly was dissolved then on 13th march 1987 and the election dates were 15th and 16th April 1987 for 48 seats only. 

Two significant changes 1987 the dayaks had PBDS. Today PKR which is a national multi racial party. 1987 there were 48 seats today there are 71 seats. How is this election different from the previous? NCR Land issues,BN arrogance etc etc but can Pakatan wrestle the state with the same disgruntled and frustrated politicians? Let’s just hope Tajem fields his son instead of himeslf again and thats what will be called a NEW DAWN. IT will be exhilarating for many and it will represent a CHANGE also from the OLD REGIME as Dr.Azizah (PKR President) puts it in reference to UMNO.  

With the PKR Congress in September 2009 heading towards the Land of Hornbill this in itself is a political statement to the Sarawak State BN. Zaid a former Minister even has this to say,””I am keeping my options open and will reveal it at the right time.” Meanwhile as quoted in Malaysiakini, Anwar said,”PKR with its partners in Pakatan Rakyat were determined to topple the Sarawak BN government. Do we need to say more..??

PKR ‘LIONESS” HAS SPOKEN

The “warcry” by “LIONESS”(fondly called by audie61) PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail in this Malaysiakini report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93977 where she spoke and hit hard at the transitional plan calling it,”no different than the old regime” Obviously she meant well, and that the country should have changes but one has to look inwardly too at the administration of Pakatan led states.

She said,”We are here to stress that the transition plan between the prime minister and his deputy, Najib Abdul Razak will not make any positive changes to the damage that has been done to the judicial system, the police, the Anti-Corruption Agency and Parliament,”. Pakatan did well to deny the 2/3rds majority in the Parliamentary elections and kuddos to them. But we can deny that BN has the 140 while Pakatan has 81+1 independant. Say what you like,Pakatan group has to build for the future and not to be disheartened and cry over “WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN..?” THE SUN WILL STILL RISE IN THE EAST AND SETS IN THE WEST.

On July 19th I wrote on “PKR 2009 not 2011 Sarawak” while on August 26th it was “Political Wave,Tsunami,After-Shock” Sarawak Next in which a detailed political overview of the whole State scenario could be assessed. However,peoples sentiments aside and with the worlds financial crisis affecting Malaysia the groundswell could be just another ‘ILLUSIONARY WAVE”

PKR plus PAS,DAP are all national based party BUT what lies within LURKING are Sarawak based parties in PBB,SUPP,PRS and SPDP. The swing would be as we alll know that even during MING COURT 1987 PBDS + PERMAS cannot even topple BN 3 (PBB,SNAP and SUPP). What more can the LIONESS not know that WE DON”T. This extraced version from her speech posted in Malaysiakini. 

Wan Azizah today also vowed to pull off an “incredible performance” during Sarawak’s state election next year. She said PKR had thousands of new members, mostly from Sabah and Sarawak, a strong indication of winds of change sweeping the two states.

If we were able to gain power in Sabah and Sarawak during the previous general election, we could have formed a new federal government by now. Insya’Allah this hope will materialise when the time comes,” said the 56-year-old politician.She added that PKR was currently in the midst of strengthening the party’s relationship with the two states to “ensure a more successful future” with them.

“We are also committed to our promise – where 20 percent of petroleum and oil revenues in Sabah and Sarawak will be given back to the people.”We also promise to give more pro-active roles to these states at the federal level if we are chosen to lead the country one day,” stressed Wan Azizah.

Lioness, we know you meant very well trying to raise the spirits of your embattled armies BUT it will be a HERCULEAN and MOMENTOUS TASK. It is not impossible BUT it still requires a lot of FINE TUNING. THE HIDDEN HAND is still playing dirty tricks in SARAWAK and whatever it is UNLESS he appears OPENLY Like HRM SECRET SERVICE 007 JAMES BOND nobody believes him and your PKR movements will all be derailed as he practises these 5 words,”THERE ARE NO POLITICAL ENEMIES”. IN short they are all in HIS HANDS. Determination is also one of the many characteristic of Dr Azizah and with that PKR be rests assured that the”Lioness”usually will capture her prey with precision and complex teamwork. SHE HAS SPOKEN…………

“PKR’s Sarawak’s Calculated Move”

Seriously, letting of “steam or characteristically unpolitical” Is this really happening to PKR..? Is this the PLATFORM by the Sarawak PKR youth delegate..? Will this go down well with the PKR leaders who feels that consolidation,regroup,recharge are ways to push political statements through. This Malaysiakini report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93947 “Sarawak delegate Rahamat Aidil blasted national Youth leaders for ignoring the ‘eastern’ states. How will you feel if you are one of the leaders listening to these remarks. It’s obviously true but it should be more SUBTLETY DONE. Is this a calculated move by PKR sarawak to gain more support?

The extracted version from Malaysiakini,”Political rhetoric about taking over more parts of Malaysia was useless unless there are concrete measures to strengthen PKR’s presence in all states, said Rahamat, when debating the address by PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin. Making it even more critical for Sarawak, said Rahamat, is the fact that the state will face an election in less than two years.

Unless the momentum gained by the March 8 general election is carried through by investing time and resources in the Sarawak Youth wing, the national leaders will not be able to exploit the impact of the ‘political tsunami’, he added.He expressed disappointment that national Youth leaders had not even visited the Sarawak Youth wing.

These words even pushed the envelope further down the table and will be exploited by PBB,SUPP,PRS,SPDP youth boys who will use it for political mileage. A political motivator said these words should never have been uttered,”  “Do not look down on Sarawak. Is it because Sarawak is not as important as Peninsular Malaysia?” Rahamat asked. You make up your own mind and if PKR does not check the unnecessary political damage its not our fault. To us,”TRUTH DOES PREVAIL” but we do not want to be drawn into controversies. The Sarawak PKR youth boy does have a point and its up to the national body to pick it up and amke the necessary political accomodation. CRACKS APPEARING IN SARAWAK PKR…????

“Want me,Get Me..SARAWAK !!”

Natasha of audie61 was at the airport interviewing PKR first timer members who were making their way to the KL for the PKR National Congress. Some said ,’We just joined and we are fitting In” while others are “excited”. This Malaysiakini report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93873 has this,” Attention at this year’s congress, a non-election event to be attended by some 3,000 delegates and observers at Malawati Stadium in Shah Alam, is expected to be on Sarawak, the next target of Pakatan Rakyat’s planned takeover, as state assembly elections are scheduled in two years time.

Its not so simple for Sarawak BN to cave in eventhough the Tsunami 308 BN lost five states and Pakatan managed to wrestle 80 Parliamentary seats. Dominique Ng PKR Padungan State assemblyman and Sarawak State Chairman at a press conference was optimistic,”“We will make Sarawak the 6th Pakatan Rakyat-controlled state government,” 

On another note Natasha said to another senior member,”Are you sure you will have Pakatan in Sarawak? It seems the issue of unfriendliness and the co-existence of DAP Chong and PKR Ng has been played over and over by the local tabloids. What about a Common Symbol like BN?” He said,”The top leadership will work something out between these two and they have to look at the BIGGER PICTURE of wrestling the State instead of LOOKING AFTER THEIR OWN EGO’s.

As for the common symbol its a matter of time as,” The main obstacle towards registering PR as an official coalition is a legal requirement in the Societies Act, where seven parties are required to form a political coalition. Could SAPP and another Independant Opposition party like SNAP or STAR be enticed into these coalition? Maybe Parti Rakyat Sarawak or SPDP can also be considered he said with a cheeky smile as he made his way to the departure hall.

Sarawak BN4 of PBB,SUPP,PRS and SPDP will be waiting for the opposition coalition and they will ensure that this strong BN Bastion will not be the next in line to fall.  Work your strategies and your manifestos and let the people CHOOSE the 71 ADUNS.

Anwar”NO DEADLINE..What about Sarawak..??”

When this was posted on Malaysiakini special reports http://anwaribrahimblog.com/2008/11/26/anwar-will-not-set-a-new-deadline-for-power/ Anwar told reporters that he would not explain why the PR alliance has not yet taken power at this weekend’s PKR party congress.“There is nothing to explain. It will happen,” Anwar said in Parliament. He did not set another deadline. Yesterday we extracted the article from Stanley Koh http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93722 which was “Perfecting PKR”.

Today it seems that a NUCLEAR BOMB has just been dropped at the heart of PKR Supporters says a political watcher. More so, he said right at the heartland of Sarawak as the Pakatan supporters await the State elections in 900 days or thereabouts. Could this be just the perfect TIMING for CM or has Anwar just dangle the carrot..? 

Anwar has said this on November 15th 2008 at a dinner,”Sarawak, which has 30 members of parliament, holds the key to the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government in the country.“When Sarawak changes its course, the Barisan Nasional government will collapse,” Seems that Anwar suddenly changed his own course while the Sarawak supporters are left to fend for themselves. Time to abandon PKR is it..?

We have failed to form the Federal government is in everyones thoughts. Sarawak No Problems for BN. The rural NCR land issues e.g. http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93782 and other urban issues can be solved. Grievances and unhappiness are made up by POLITICIANS who are disgruntled and frustrated. The people will still vote for BN and the “dacing symbol” Pakatan is irrelevant to Sarawak and it will not have any impact on Sarawak shores. Could Complacency come into the picture for BN?

We have a close look at all the 71seats,the incumbents,the parties BUT we will leave the analysis to a later article. The voters represent the actual numbers during the 2006 Sarawak State Election. Why not make the necessary arrangements and if you are keen to contest you can choose any of the 71 seats. Remember it will be the NEW DUN BUILDING when you make your maiden speech.BE INSPIRED AND PUMP UP THE ADRENALIN..

“PKR Wants Jabu’s ‘Layar’..?”

It was only this morning when we wrote this article but by mid evening the developments apart from PPP “Shape out or we Ship Out” http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93677 is getting intense. The blog and the local tabloid which covered this subject had,” Jabu continuing to lambast certain quarters who kept denying the great changes and development that had happened in Sarawak for the past 45 years of independent.”Speaking at a luncheon reception of St Mark Chapel Nanga Peka, Paku, Jabu described them as individuals or small groups of people who were always in denial.

“They were only trying to influence the people to oppose development for their own personal gain.Jabu who is the Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communication as well as Minister of Rural Development warned the peoples against falling prey to such detractors.

The Deputy Chief Minister said these peoples are only good at making empty promises but added he was confident that people would not be easily swayed by them to ensure that they would remain progressive.
However not everyone is agreeable with the Sarawak Deputy Minister statement. Jabu is in fact often at loggerheads with many young Dayaks intellectuals and bloggers for his off-the-cuff remarks.

Henry anak Joseph a Dayak blogger recently said “It has greatly surprised me that a man of his standing is prepared to stoop so low to find fault with the young Dayak intellectuals. In my humble opinion his precious time should be devoted to matters that can provide long term benefits to the Dayak,”

There is also a call by the blogger concerned when he said this,”I am prepared to defend my stand and challenge the honourable minister to an open debate on the issue of land development affecting the Dayak. Any time any where. 

Very strong challenge and it remains whether the Minister in question will accept. The word on the ground is obviously the number of people who has indicated their interests to take on the DCM Jabu in the next elections. Jabu himself was a “Giant-killer”in his very first state elections outing. Our informed source said 2 NAMES are being thrown in the hat to represent PKR to take on Jabu. Layar State seat remains a stronghold for the PBB and only someone very credible,has the political means and backup will force a challenge to Jabu.

The strong dayak sentiments might be there but  JABU remains formidable. When Henry Joseph said this,” He thinks we gain when we tell him that. We gain nothing except receiving his hostile response.”  This must sound like the CASH MACHINE ringing for PKR. Who then is the right person and will the person be the GIANT KILLER..? If Beginda has revealed so much the person in question will be out in the OPEN very soon. Jabu will be WAITING………….

“Question of PKR Perfecting while BN reinvents..??”

This Malaysiakini analysis just about sums it up on the happenings for and within the PKR ranks and its objectives. The extracted  analysis http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93722 is reposted as we find that the analyst has gone to great depths in producing this fine work and its a great article. Some will inadvertedly disagree and some will agree and the comments column will be your avenue. However, we salute the fine effort of Stanley Koh. 

Eight months have passed since the euphoria and excitement that gripped millions of voters when the ‘political tsunami’ swept three opposition parties into power in five states and 10 of the 11 federal seats in Kuala Lumpur.Some called it the tipping point or ‘perfect storm’ in our electoral history, but the probable emergence of a two-party system has been held back by Pakatan Rakyat’s failure to grab the federal government from Barisan Nasional on Sept 16, as it claimed it would.

Amidst ebbing exuberance and cautious optimism, Pakatan’s major partner PKR will hold its annual congress this weekend at Stadium Melawati in Shah Alam, Selangor.

Changing political circumstances will prompt Pakatan to go through soul searching, perhaps requiring it to re-evaluate its performance and re-formulating its prospects. Pakatan’s destiny will be challenged by the inevitable changing of the guard in the ruling Umno next March, which will spell the end of the Abdullah Ahmad Badawi administration.

Much uncertainty also lies ahead with his anointed successor Najib Abdul Razak taking over Umno and the BN machinery, which were left discredited, fractured and humiliated after the general election. PKR, meanwhile, reflects the truism that politics tend to revolve around personalities – in this case, de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim, 61.Some consider him the ‘Malaysian Obama’ in terms of charisma, oratory skills and crowd-pulling ability; even detractors find it difficult to dispute the electioneering calibre of the former deputy prime minister.

Most would agree that Anwar was responsible for cementing the working relationship among the Pakatan component parties, after having grappled with their contrasting ideological differences before and after the general election.

Anwar’s unrivalled strength of leadership is a plus factor – he is perceived as the only opposition leader qualified to be the alternative prime minister.

However, others – even within his own party – are not so sure. A critic contends that Anwar is his own worse enemy.

Weak organisational structure

PKR continues to face inherent organisational weaknesses, despite having garnered 1.5 million votes in 2008 – almost three times more than in the previous polls in 2004.

“Every major decision on party matters seems to need Anwar’s tacit approval and frequently his indecisiveness has stalled or delayed the party’s progress,” an insider said of the Anwar-centric syndrome in decision-making.

In fact, there is a general consensus among staunch supporters that, as a political organisation, the party lacks an infrastructural network at the branch, division and state levels.

“We agree that the BN took more than half a century to build its branches in every nook and corner of the country, but PKR must do this quickly,” a supporter noted.

Anwar, who is in the driver’s seat, seems oblivious to this, prompting concern that a clear-cut strategy is not being readied for the next general election.

“All decisions emanate from Anwar,” said the insider, who opined that this is not a healthy practice.

He suggested it is time for the party leaders to delegate decision-making to technocrats within PKR to strengthen its organisational structure.

PKR also lacks the political will to enhance leadership skills and roles, particularly among its parliamentary and state leaders.

“The leaders need to undergo a mental paradigm shift while retaining humility. Some of them are getting big-headed and suffer from the Yang Berhormat syndrome,” a critic lamented.

There is disquiet within the party, for all that Anwar is attempting to build a mass movement among Malaysians in support of its political objectives.

“Much needs to be done but the leadership is just not moving,” an activist pointed out.

“PKR needs to put its own house in order and its leadership must move away from being Anwar-centric, so that basic building blocks can be put in place.”

Running out of time

The leadership must also define the relationship between the various levels in the party, and establish guidelines for the relationship between, say, state and division levels. Political observers reason that PKR had not anticipated its astounding electoral success.

“It had functioned as a rag-tag political party, or like an army of bandits struggling to turn itself into a regular army,” a political researcher said.“It probably will take a few years to do that, but the problem is that the party is running out of time. The race is not only against time but the formidable BN machinery, which will be better prepared the next time around (having learnt from serious electoral mistakes).”

PKR’s future will be placed on a surer footing when its leadership under Anwar takes a quantum leap forward by building institutional strength, rather than rely primarily on his personality or prerogative in making decisions.“The party must diversify its image by creating successful role-models from within its ranks. Success stories of its leaders in community services or building rapport with constituents will help to build its image as a mass movement,” a supporter said.

Indeed, if Anwar wishes to be known for his leadership credentials, including that of the ‘Father of the Asian Renaissance’, surely he must convince his supporters that he is not just a vocal opposition leader.

Unless reforms are made to position PKR as a stronger partner in Pakatan, Anwar’s charisma and oratory skills alone may not guarantee another successful electoral outing.

Why..? Plus More Whys..? Anwar will Capitalise

The local political scene today in Sarawak is about a subject which was written on November 9th and after nearly three weeks we would have thought it would have subsided. Alas, the groundswell talks otherwise. In Peninsular Malaysia it seems the State PPP has come out with a resolution:”Shape Up or we Ship Out” and this could be read here http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/93677. Moreover this is very timely as one political analyst said,” They are playing the tune in which Anwar will capitalise. Moreover, PKR will be having their PKR congress this weekend and this BN dissatisfaction and unhappiness will be capitalised upon. Anwar “might not” be saying it but other State leaders will “POUR OIL TO THE FIRE“. We always say in Politics show us,”EXAMPLES,EXAMPLES..!!”

Surely, this will be brought up as Beginda Minda,Gabriel Adit, Nicolas Bawin are considered ‘WIRA” now in the eyes of the Dayak communities. They are seen as the alternatives to Jabu,Mawan and Masing. We repost it here,” What was said in the Puppet and Puppet Masters were,’From the ground it seems that most Dayaks are looking at Beginda’s outburst with not only CURIOSITY but another MING COURT 1987 OF A REVERSE VERSION where the Dayaks are playing the puppet game on the surface but striking it hard quietly as they advance from their rural base.

A political analyst/writer said BN is still in DENIAL MODE and even said that Tsunami 308 will not occur in Sarawak. Just then an sms from a BN YB and Political Secretary said,”No need to wori Bro.What revival is this? Hasn’t there been numerous revival which led to the formation of PBDS before? It’s just another attempt by disgruntled and frustrated PERSONALITIES TO WIN POWER. Bear in mind that any group that uses race as their battle cry will never succeed. It has been proven by PAJAR and PBDS before.Many have short memory.   

If the comments which has been received in the blogs are just mere illusions no one would .”GIVE A DAMN” but it remains the threat is for REAL. Wouldn’t you give a thought if someone does give you this figures,” 29 Iban seats+8 Chinese seats+6 Malay seats=43 seats(New PR Sarawak Government) even the SC meeting in PRS last weekend( PRS has 9 rural seats) and PKR has made it their main objective to wrestle these seats. James has already said,”Keep your ears close to the ground and check the PKR and opposition movements to his YBs in the Supreme Council”  

Word also has it that the Malay seats under PBB are being closely monitored by PKR and PAS and they intend to make inroads and would not like to be seen to play second fiddle to the Iban areas. The examples of “Pajar” and ” 1987 Maju Groupings’ have set precedents and examples which should not HAPPEN AGAIN. Amongst the majority “Malay PBB” areas which PKR and PAS feels they will capture or capitalise on the sentiments of CHANGES are the following 

1. Semariang
2. Tupong
3. Nangka
4. Asajaya
5. Limbang
6. Pantai Damai
7. Muara Tuang
8. Kalaka
9. Lingga
10. JepaK
11. Saribas
12. Beting Maro
13. Sebuyau

It goes without saying in this analogy which has more than HALF TRUTHS and REALISTICALLY IT HAPPENS,”Would a thief tell you that he is going to steal from you..?” . The groundswell is there and PKR and PAS teams are making very serious surveys and using the sentiments of the people against the State BN. There are many issues of course BUT its up to the Present YBs to quell the unhappiness and brign some smiles back to the PEOPLE- (Their Political Masters).

If Najib was confident as per our article yesterday Pakatan group are also quietly confident in dethroning the present Sarawak BN governement. One thing I would say simply and its up to the BN State Governement,” STOP THE COMPONENTS INFIGHTING” and “UNIFY the Spirit of Barisan National”

 All members who subscribe to the principles of BN when they sign the membership forms knows they have signed for the better good of the coalition and not for SELFISH AGENDAS. The same goes for Pakatan,(DAP,PKR,PAS) members they subscribe to their parties rules and regulations and NO ONE PERSON IS BIGGER THAN THE OTHER. Whoever makes the wrong move in this highly fluidity Malaysian and Sarawak political scenario will pay the price and do not turn round and say,”MY MISTAKE-WE WERE NOT PREPARED“
