Sarawak N30 “Dr.Wahbi Dreams”

Dr.Wahbi Junaidi knows he is really under attack. In the last state elections 2006 he barely scrapped through by winning a razor thin majority by 94 votes over the Keadilan candidate.”Is it Dr.Wahbi’s Way of telling his BN counterparts in so many words a “Wake up call or extraordinary just like what Susan Boyle did in the UK “Youve Got Talent Show” 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Is he getting all cooked up and blaming it on DCM Jabu..?His emotions reflects that he is afterall human and he needs his dosage of development funds too or else he too will be wiped out. A political analyst says that there seems to be like a mini revolt against the top leaders who have overstayed in their capacity not only in SUPP but also PBB.

Dr.Wahbi doesn’t minced his words and he is really fighting for his dear life as an Assemblyman and if he is still picked to be a candidate in the coming state elections. Dr Wahbi is trying to tell the top leaders that,”If they are sent to war based on irritation or ego instead of solid strategy(Sun Tsu) the whole BN machinery in Saribas will pay the price.” He knows that there is a fine line in how much he can take and also seeing that his position is absolutedly precarious and he too will be wiped up.

The PAS machinery has made inroads in the malay kampong areas and with the PR4 (PAS,DAP,PKR and SNAP)in action anything will happen and Saribas will no longer be a safe seat for the BN. Its not about looks like what Susan Boyle has proven to all of us but the mystery behind the voice.

A PBB supporter says PR4 has managed in some way being able to unlock the mindset of the rural folks and their inroads needs to be curbed or slowly,piece by piece they will tear down the framework which BN has solidly built for 50 years. Wake up call..Yes..

What has Dr.Wahbi said which has the DUN Members felt that their hair suddenly stood on ends. This statement” He said people had asked him how it was possible that the government spent RM300mil building a complex “like a mini-Putrajaya” in Betong .  In addition, he said the people were also puzzled as to why a 4km road connecting Kampung Mangut and Tuie was still not built despite a request made 10 years ago

Has Dr.Wahbi suddenly woken up especially after BN was beaten in P212 Sibu by DAP/PR. He has taken the initiative and become bold and mosts of all creative again after being suppressed from sharing the development funds. DCM Jabu must be irked that a member/colleague from his party is making noise and not informing him directly.

But Wahbi is so afraid and he has made the right call and at the mosts appropriate time when Jabu was even touted to be a candidate to take over the helm and the CMs chair. BN is now opening up to see where are the areas to be addressed before the CM calls for the State elections.

Goodies given during election time will not sway the voters minds and BN assemblyman are now ensuring their promises are kept and carried out or else they will be shipped up by the flood of People Power.  P212 has really given the BN a scarred back and a deflated ego and Dr Wahbi’s outburst of the truth is very timely.

BN4 and PR4 will be at odds soon and its the coalitions policies and the calibre candidates which will win over the trusts of the constituents in Sarawak. Are you ready to join in the fray…??

“BN Taib,Tiong,Sng,Chan,Jabu versus James and Pakatan”

Is it already written in the history books? It has already been simmering for sometime now and relations between James and the ones mentioned has not been at their bests.Pretty sure,no greeting cards will be exchanged during festive occasions.  

Taib crossed swords with James instrumental in KM1 and KM2 during the infamous Ming Court Affair and the PBDS ‘dayak struggles for power days.  Taib no doubt has been using the divide and rule of the dayaks and political parties to ensure that he is No.1 and also by living close to the enemies. 23 years on the dayaks are coming up again as now they have really grown up in economics and politics and the time is ripe.

Sng Chee Hua who aligned himself to Tajem and later James Masing has been casts into political oblivion though he has tried to use his Son’s platform and Ting Pek Kiing to stay relevant in BN. He got found out very fortunatedly as some dayaks and PKR members said during Lubok Antu by elections. One remembers what famous politicians will say to their ‘hidden machais or understudies”- Once you show your head you are term useless to me and in place someone will take over.” 

Tiong without a doubt and even a little kid would be able to point out ” has been labelled as one of the certain personalities” in the proxy fight and illusionary merger process of the SPDP Separatists 5 plus 3 with PRS.

The “CRISIS BREEDS OPPORTUNITIES” and “18 YBs in Kapit” in togetherness certainly has sounded the alarm bells within BN. Word has it also that there is no more turning back. James is listening more than ever to his trusted aides.  

Certainly dont even rule out that PRS will follow the footsteps of PBS said a final year political studies student. History has a funny way of coming back and Taib,Tiong,Sng,Chan and Jabu are watching these developments with curiosity.

 There needs to be a check on PRS movements and Taibs ears and eyes needs to be strongly planted into PRS or else it will be a little too late. Taib is 74 and James you are 61 and thats the blunt message which is blowing from the winds across the dayak hinterlands. If not NOW, WHEN similarities to someone’s remarks don’t you think..??

Tiong has even brought 40 MPs to Taiwan and Taib will know that Tiong is not someone who he can do without. Enemies becomes Friends isnt this common in the political alignment of politics when there is a necessity…?

Jabu as we know has always been attacked as he only focusses on his Betong Constituency and he was the giant killer in 1974 when he defeated SNAPs Kalong Ningkan at SNAPs fortress. In the internet blogs and in the political circles it is very clear that Jabu will be challenged and there might be a GIANT KILLER.

Who will present himself with this opportunity to write himself into Sarawaks political history books? There are a number of names being touted and Stanley Embat and Tedewin Ngumbang seems to be the GRADE A package. 

James is looking into the possibilty of leading the charge as the political scenario has changed more in favour of the dayaks who are now frustrated and disgruntled by the Melanau led regime of 28 years of as Chief Minister. Will James take this bait..?

It is without a doubt that Baru Bian himself an Orang Ulu will willingly step aside if the PKR leaders sees James as more than capable of overthrowing the BN Sarawak rule. 29 dayak majority seats,26 melanau/malay and 16 Chinese majority seats and one need not use geography/history but mathematics to see where the winnable seats are.

 Lim Kit Siang DAP supremo has already indicated 24 seats as depriving 2/3rds majority while 36 as overthrowing the BN Sarawak rule.

The hard core within the defunct PBDS has not forgotten the embracing of the Melanau uncle and nephew on stage at Hilton and James will know its an opportune time to “PAYBACK” to the dayaks on what should have been theirs instead of being ruled by the minority race says a veteran politician.

This is alarming and its very calm on the surface. James knows without his troops in PRS beneath the surface are gauging the sentiments and working out the bests possibilities to overthrow not only Taib but the names mentioned.

Will SUPP come to the rescue again as it did in 1987? It certainly is a different era and if the UNLIKELY Happens with James leading PRS into battle with Taib it will be very much closer. Ths time the Frogs might come from BN says another political observer. If Selangor can fall why not Sarawak he added.

How many of the 18  dayak YBs we ask will follow James into battle with Taib? He has nothing to be worried as he will have with him this time round PKR,DAP,PAS and SNAP. BN will be left with PBB,SUPP and SPDP remnants. eventhough those who will walk out of James in PRS they will have to fight at the dayak majority seats. They will be termed ‘BETRAYERS” too if BN plays the same game.

The warning tsunami signs are already approaching the coastlines of Sarawak and the ground movements are certainly growing in strength. Taib has to muster all his experience and above all his POLITICAL WITTINESS to stem this tide. Its not only ‘dayakism” but another New Partner. 

1987 was Permas and PBDS but this time Taib will know he faces his greatest challenge. James knows Taib has not forgotten and James likewise will get his revenge at the mosts opportune time.

Will they be another time? The simmering water will be turned up to BOILING POINT and Taib will need to turn to his trusted collegues to undo this ambition of the powers to be. 

Are we telling the readers something which they already know or are we telling Taib the traps are already opened and the Tigers you have will ALSO FALL SOON. Chan the SUPP President has even sounded confidently that BN wil make a clean sweep and one seasoned politician said,”He is trying to whip the sentiments of the Chinese in that the fast flowing waters have reached his neck.”

 Its a rallying cry and we did ask earlier will SUPP be able to come to BNs rescue again? The undercurrents are too strong now and more than ever Taib will need Tiong,Sng,Chan and Jabu to not only  double check but triple it up.

Will James not want to sit at the HIGH CHAIR and see that his KM3 work. Lim Kit Siang did not give up and finally in 308 Penang was taken over by Pakatan and today LIM GUAN ENG is the Chief Minister. (His son)

It is indeed very calm within the Pakatan alliances and they do hope that the Miracle of PRS will do a PBS. Nothing is Impossible in Politics they say…Don’t you agree…???

‘Cawat” Issue..Stay Clear Wanita’s??

Updated 28th July :- Sms sent to Secretary General of PRS– Wilfred Nissom.Thank God and Glad there is no burning of PAS Flags.We are better than that.

Updated 28th July 9.30am- Headlines “Gathering to burn PAS flags put off,says PRS man. The full story can be seen in Todays Borneo Post Article page 12. Was this our timely intervention with our article and thus someone politically connected with the Prime Minister’s department raised the ALARM BELLS. Thank God or else all Hell would have broken loose. 

Last Friday before I posted the article on ” Wanita PKR Sarawak- A New Dawn” I asked PRS Batu Lintang Wanita Chief and Treasurer are they ready if chosen at an instant to stand for the coming elections. Of course, they said we are in politics not only to serve and fight for the party but also groomed to take over. In my article I mentioned ,” PRS has yet to field any wanita candidate but it is speculated by PRS members that the current Wanita chief Doris Brodie is being groomed to be a candidate. How ironic it is today she seems to grab the headlines and suddenly appears? Something is brewing and are they any connections to the New Dawn?

This is what she said in the Sunday Borneo Posts,’

Expressing anger over Hadi’s remarks about Batang Ai voters recently, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) women chief Doris Sophia Brodie said yesterday the remarks reflected the type of leaders PAS and PR have.

“Obviously, PAS and Pakatan are not ethnic-sensitive, thus they can forget about making their existence felt in Sarawak especially in Dayak dominant areas. On top of that, it is such remarks that stir racial tension,” she said.

“I think what Hadi said should hit the nail squarely for Dayak opposition leaders. Clearly, Pakatan and PAS do not have them or the Dayak at heart, to them the Dayaks are just to make the numbers and their laughing stock.

In this respect, she said the PRS women of Batang Ai, Simanggang and Bukit Begunan divisions would come out in full force to support PRS Batang Ai youth in its plan to burn PAS flags in Engkilili town todayk.

We are at bests trying to STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS ISSUE AS POSSIBLE. However,we know that a fire would not have started  if the sparks are not lighted.Sarawak Wanita Chiefs from PKR/DAP/PAS/SNAP should not only stay silent on this issue as the Wanita Chief from PRS  has already lashed out. Recently joined PKR former MCA leader Chua Jui Meng would be telling you all,” A Politician is not a Politician if she/he keeps quiet.”

We received a number of smses but this from a senior a dayak leader and a former high ranking civil officer which will be open to your interpretations ,”Mrng bro.what Hadi meant was,dyks hv cawat political mentality.f u say dyks r well clothed 2 refer 2 hadi’s statement,once again hadi n d rest will laugh at n deride even phd educated dyk pol leaders ENDA NEMU RETI JAKO SINDIR” 

Burning FLAGS please,please,please I don’t buy that. It’s like Hooliganism in football where rival Fans taunt each other by burning flags on the terraces. Who has come out with this idea.? This is POLITICS AND NOT FOOTBALL.The person who has even initiated this idea let alone carry it out should be TAKEN AWAY and PUT IN JAIL AS THIS IS NOTORIOUSLY EVIL THOUGHT.

audie61 seriously take this as an attempt to instigate a TRULY EXPLOSIVE situation. It’s uncalled for even by PRS Batang Ai Youth. PM ‘s department and the authorities concerned should seriously look into this very  MINDLESS AND THOUGHTLESS  POLITICAL ACT. 

IN Malaysia we have enough problems with death and we do not need our political strategists from any political party be it BN/PAKATAN to even think of this. This will eventually lead to  even worse scenario. It only takes someone to singlehandedly take it a step higher,”TORCH PAS HEADQUARTERS” Then what will happen?

PM Najib we do not need to be reminded of the Brixton,Guildford,Manchester nor Liverpool riots where cities just burn through the night for seven to ten nights in the 80’s. (150 buildings damaged,30 burned down)

We say as always,”Politics is politics, but do not take it overboard and it will turn ugly and the whole country suffers. The country is already suffering economically and we do not need another FLAG BURNING THOUGHT to aggravate the precarious and fluid political situation.

On behalf of audie61 and crew we would like to express our deepests sympathy to the family of our “dear friend” SC Chan (Chan Seng Chai- Malaysiakini Sarawak Correspondent) whose sudden departure from this “earthly home” was a shock to many who know him. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family.

He was very supportive of our activities in PRS Batu Lintang and was ever present at our functions and on behalf of 1536  members we would certainly miss him. Besides politics his love for his team Liverpool remains undiminished. We say to you our “top notch Journalist and friend of Batu Lintang”-“YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONEWE WILL MISS YOU..

“3 Reasons for the Arsenal News Coverage”

000050138.jpg

Seems that MU/Liverpool will send most pulses missing a beat. Arsenal what is that team..? Under Arsene wenger they produce ‘ total ” football but  ran out of ideas to challenge the bests at the end of last season. It was made up of very young and upcoming footballers from different backgrounds /colour and race.

What we covered yesterday has some similarities but the young guns in this political landscape are tutored by the bests and who have vasts experience in this business for well over 50 years. Young and upcoming PRS Vice President who is considered one of the names in the ‘golden triangle” was quoted in the main stream media. He has indeed ruffled a few feathers in the PRS hierarchy and there is no more denial now in our earlier posts of “trouble brewing in PRS” where we asked a speculative and incisive question,”IS IT REAL..??”

Read more here “Not time to Change PRS leadership“. So what are the 3 reasons for Snowdon of all people to put up a STOP SIGN for those who sees a minute crack in the wall and ready to mobilize the forces for a showdown between James and Entulu. A close confidante of one of the ‘golden boys” simply put it as such. It’s Arsene Wenger’s ways and not Rafael Benitez: or Alex Ferguson’s.

  •  Seen as “good boy”in PRS and not taking sides
  • Throwing stones with left hand at the glass house but denying of any involvement
  • Telling Entulu the time is now as ‘Blessing” is assured.

Snowdon hotly tipped to be an Assistant Minister though a greenhorn in politics he has build up a reputation to be “ruthless” and not taking any prisoners. A political quality needed for survival in the most extreme of situations. The stage is set and its up to those involved to be ready. It has simmered for far too long between the families involved and the timing cannot be more perfect.

We say as always,”It’s a game and it has to end with winners and losers”

“Animosity Is Incurable”

 

dscn0879a1

Heard of the phrase,”Wounds might heal but Scar remains..” Its exactly what has been happening especially at ground zero with regards to PRS infightings again. This time it does not involve the Sng factions but one of the two Joe’s. We have covered it earlier and it just goes to show that this time James will need all his knowhows to doublecheck his “BRUTUS”.

James as sources close to him told audie61 has bushed aside the spindoctors cooking up a new menu of “Divide and Rule” and has even compared it to Sabah CMs malicious rumour of BRAIN TUMOUR. If it is not true a political analyst who is ear of the one person in absolute power now says.”Let James put it to rests once and for all”.

We have the first hand information and we had this article a few days ago

Surely, we will not be the  first and the lasts as there are too many troubles brewing within PRS and the only reason its still intact is that Pehin Taib is  still the CM. Believe me,if the CM relinquishes his powers or if by God’s actions he is returned James will be just another forgotten YB and Minister. He has to make his choices now or else when the DEADLINE is in TOWN he will be out of town on his fastest horse.

His allies who have fought many battles with him are already pulling him around the neck but still he plays to the tune which he and only him listens. James must realise or else it will be just too late and even his fastest horse will not recognise him let alone have him on. If ANIMOSITY IS CURABLE in politics let me be the first to tests the new found medicine.! Even Tun Mahathir would love to try it as he would be the amongst the first to GET ONE over Lee Kuan Yew.

We say as always,”In the months ahead PRS will once again HOG the front pages of mosts main stream media. This could even outdo the Smoking Joe who fought in the thriller of Manila aginst Mohammad Ali…..

“Trouble Brewing In PRS..??”

dscn0879a1

Is it for Real..? It cannot be just so soon after the infighting which has decimated the party into half. The membership has since dwindled with at least 10000 members crossing over to the opposition parties in PKR and DAP. We have updates and the groundswell is that the No.2 Joseph Entulu has set his eyes on the No.1 Chair in Party Rakyat Sarawak(PRS)

What could have triggered this off? Has the Hidden Hands started pouring oil in the fire? Could the Puppet Masters have just attached another string at  Entulu’s back. It seems his financial backing and the number of YBs and MPs aligned to him far exceeds James Masings camp. Isn’t this the OPPORTUNE time for him to step up a notch higher?

Its afterall not uncommon for tussling of positions especially if it involves ex-PBDS members eventhough the new ship now is PRS. According to a PRS member he says,”It’s afterall a Chair only.They are buddies alright.”

With positions comes power and it seems Entulu is very much in favour by the UMNO hierarchy and Sarawak BN top boys. He does speak his mind occassionally to a certain extreme but it augurs well for his political future. A PRS supreme council member when contacted tried to brush it under the carpet but the groundswell is gaining momentum with the December TDC lurking and its a chance for Entulu to step up and make his mark. Even A PBB YB was quick to point out that James has irked the top man and its time for him to take his ‘LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Aferall when Enulu made the statement on The infamous Dayaks issue, James gave his thinnest support by saying,”Entulu called me on the day of question and I can say its his personal opinion only.” Could this be the last straw for Entulu..? He has been ever so faithful to James and history has a way of coming back to haunt us as this phrase should never be ignored and used time and time again,”Who betrayed Caesar..?

We have done our investigations and we would not just write this article if our sources within PRS does not give us the signals. Half truths first and it will seemingly rear its HEAD when the Puppet Masters and Hidden Hands have everything in place. James had fought many battles in and within the parties and could this be his Battle of Alamo..??

We say as always,”Surely someone must have already sparked it all off within the camps of PRS.Its difficult to keep everyone on a TIGHT LEASH…ROS might just have another field day soon… 

EXCLUSIVE reply”Sarawak Members of Parliament Full of Decorum”

The English tabloids,blogs and internet portal Malaysiakini are all carrying articles with different headlines amongst which are

  1. Deputy Speaker’s comments-confirmed our worst fears-Dayakbaru blog
  2. Sarawak Parliamentarians under fire-Malaysiakini portal
  3. Deputy Speakers comments incur wrath of BN MPs.-Borneo Posts.

On the home front /coffe shop talk there are so many stories being thrown about and most of course are half truths. Mind you though some do have credibility as they are quite logical. audie61 of course did contact some Sarawak MPs and mosts say its blown out of proportion. Really..?? 

One political secretary said,”the Deputy speaker must have a point.He is afterall sitting on the high chair and if has taken down the facts,statistics and number of times the Sarawak MPs does not have a case against him. Maybe he was trying to wake them up as some are sitting too nicely in their ‘comfort zones” That is his prerogative as he knows bests what he is letting himself into.

We tracked down the MP for Batang Sadong Nancy Shukri and we got this sms from her.This is the actual text,” Actually I dont wish to blow it up.But somebody has to speak d truth of Swak culture. We speak wt full of decorum.We in BN don’t make it a tradition n culture to outsiders,let alone thr d media,it suffices to say tht we did our part as elected leaders. the people cld c fr d media of our involvement. once we publicize our sensitiveness d opposition laugh at us. Thats why once and for all somebody has to respond.Otherwise, d opp will still tap on it saying that its proven BN reps r passive.B4 we make our sttmt we must think first.”

We say as always,”The people/voters are matured enough to vote for/vote out any Member of Parliament who are not carrying out their duties as an elected representative.Lets just not look down on the voters intelligence. Remember,this is not the 70s or 80s………..

PPP & PKR Sarawak “Eating Rice with Ice cream”

Whats your take on the Politica l crisis in PPP and PKR Sarawak..? You want a straight answer,”Its like eating rice with ice cream” says a mass media graduate. Rice with ice cream is nice but its not a daily thing which everyone consumes.  The politicians within these parties should be talking about BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES instead of too much pushing for their own agendas and forgetting the very essence on WHY the parties are formed. 

Do we need to explain further? These two reports which appeared in the internet portal and english tabloid is sufficient to send mosts people up the mountain and be a HERMIT. The internet portal Malaysiakini writes and the full report  http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/106287  in which the Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein revealed that the ROS was considering issuing a show cause letter for PPP to explain why it should not be de-registered.

Furthermore he said,”he said that the ROS was still seeking explanations from several quarters, but investigations were being hampered by a lack of cooperation from certain groups.” Yummy,yummy now we say the rice will be tastier with ice cream and a bit of gravy on top. hik hik hik”

On the local front after covering a few days with a number of articles among them,”Restless souls in PKR Sarawak” and Anwar,”PKR Sarawak disintegrating H1N1” another statement from PKR State liaison secretary rebuking the PKR Batang Sadong Chief Sakawi Nahari in which it says that it clearly says,” Sakawi’s statement is his own personal comment.”  

Piee Ling went on further by saying,” The process of identifying capable leaders in fact began early this year.A lot of factors,including members views,have been taken into account before setting of the new line-up.

“As members we must respect the party’s final decision.It is the party’s democratic principle to let members address their grievances but the party has proper channels for this.” So it seems now Sakawi is being served ice cream with rice and taught how to take the bite and to swallow it.

A PKR senior strategists in a telephone conversation disapproved also with Sakawi’s outburst and he feels that Sakawi is only being used as a mouthpiece for someones agenda. Its my personal opinion only and there is a proverb,”MORE EATING RICE,LESS TALKING MOUTH.”

So Sakawi,”Prove your threat and lets see how many of you will pull out of PKR SARAWAK..??”  You should also be reminded that,”Half a truth engenders a new lie.”

We say as always,”The new voters are ready to tell the politicians about moving the country forward and they do not want to see too many infightings and unnecessary wastage of Brain Cells.” Have you tried EATING RICE WITH ICE CREAM..??
