Lies or Truth…SWP

Convince and Confuse

seems to be the tactic used by the newly formed SWP(Sarawak Workers party) as it tries to make inroads into the BN/PRS held seats.

These words from the Prime Minister Najib on SWP ,””illogical, irrational and non-consistent” and also CM Taib and also Assistant Minister Karims statement which appeared in Borneo Posts have not made any impressions on the party. Their members when met are still going round and informing those voters in the 6 areas that they are BN-Friendly and are the alternative to PRS for good governance.

The statement from PRS Deputy President of PRS, incumbent and Deputy Minister who has thrown a challenge to Larry Sng to come to Selangau to contest have met with immediate response.

Our source says,”Will Datuk Sng just let Entulu get away with it.?”

One thing he says with Datuk Sng it is “money talks bullshit walks” and you only need to convince to move the authorities concern. Take the water piping issue for 18 longhouses which is now commissioned in Pasai Siong by SWP.

LIES OR TRUTH..!!

Did the water authorities get confuse when SWP said that they are BN-Friendly? PRS needs answers and they need to do their own investigative works. The message by SWP is simple. Find the weakest link in the incumbents seemingly inpenetrable fortress.

They have acheived their aim.It seems that the incumbent MP Entulu was really rattled as the 18 longhouses within the Selangau Constituency constitute to above 1500 voters.

Entulu is under siege and he needs to work harder than before as in previous elections it was more like a “walk in the park”This time Entulu will not only be faced with SWP but also PKR and plus a number of independants.

Entulus man when contacted,”we will get to the bottom of it and will work out the contingencies.”

Our source says,”water for votes ” and surely BN/PRS will find it tough going as PEOPLE will be convince when SWP says water is their source of life. PRS needs to work even harder if this is the truth and we know BN top guns will come down hard on Entulu to ensure that this seat stays with BN and not otherwise.

ENTULU KNOWS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE….

“916 Hallucination Still..??”

The sms from a friend who has migrated overseas asked us to check on the two articles which we posted on 24th September 2008 and 24th September 2009. Still after so much has been written it seems that the Sarawak State elections Saturday date is still far off.

 A 1st term BN YB said to us this morning,’ I just have to continue to visit my rural constituency diligently without anymore fear  as I have not neglected them in any way. I am ready anytime when its called and its a foregone conclusion that it has to be held after the term expires for the DUN. There will still be a DUN sitting in November and not unless there is a SNAP Sarawak polls held as far as he is concerned.’

The article which appeared on this day on 24th  September 2009 reads:-Sarawak Opposition Parties “Look At the Lists”

In the last few months let alone last few weeks a lot has been said about the Opposition parties or “Personalities” not seeing eye to eye.The “PAKATAN” concept in Sarawak will be a failure or it will be justs a mere ” ..HALLUCINATION..”

Correct me if I am wrong BUT its not so much the Pakatan parties of PKR,DAP and PAS but in Sarawak it seems that the EGOs of certain individual/individuals is a stumbling BLOCK says a Veteran Chinese politician to audie61 when we had lunch this afternnon.

In the Chinese newspapers its all news about SUPP having a “dirty war””hidden hands” interfering in the Dudong branch controversy. DAP Sarawak are rubbing their hands as if the 4d Jackpot of 20 million is theirs.   

PAS Sarawak are claiming around 25 over seats  too while DAP has claimed cheekily 27 seats and that leaves 19 seats for PKR. What about the local based opposition party SNAP..?? Hmmm this is interesting but we do not want to be attacked without any reason and its bests for the leaders to wake up and look closely at the lists below which we first posted November 30th 2008. Make up your minds or else no matter what you say BN WILL BE VICTORIOUS..

PERSONAL POLITICAL EGO NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OR THE TEAM BN or PAKATAN SUFFERS….The people will have the FINAL SAY..Too much infighting will see that the partys show is “THE END”

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.

Just in case you forgot the mathematics we bring you back in time,”It was so near yet so far as in 1987 it was 48 constituencies the opposition wrestle 20 out of 28 and now there are 71 seats. A state women oppposition leader told audie61 a couple of months ago and it is still very fresh in my mind,” They will not be another better chance for us to realise this dream of wrestling the state from BN. 1987 was close but now we need to work even harder” Could the States oppositions HALLUCINATION turn to Reality……. 

The 24th of September 2008 article :-

All is not lost…. Its like saying Malaysia has 6 seasons Anwar,”Hot,Hotter,Hottest and Wet ,Wetter,Wettest” When this Malaysiakini report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/90327 headlined Anwar changes tune,deadline not an issue a political analyst said its a way of saying,” Hold on.! I am consolidating my forces for the final push.” The decisive battle is nearer as the so called informants have been identified and the minute details are to be ironed out before the takeover. A matter of time sounds better don’t you think instead of issuing deadlines. 

Everyone has fallen to LOVE 916 and not one person can say that it was not a “BRILLIANT POLITICAL PROPAGANDA”  

This very important political message by Anwar,” The deadline was Sept 16 – Sept 16 was the date we were ready and we have made it very clear (but) who could anticipate that the prime minister would refuse to discuss (matters) of national importance – who could anticipate (that the) prime minister would refuse calling an emergency (parliament) session when we claim we have the majority,” is like overturning a defeat to sustain another round of attack. His wise counsellors have already preempted that the PM and the UMNO boys have said all along that,” In the long run we shall overcome.” Anwar knows for well that Malaysia has 6 seasons and he will strike at the wettest season when UMNO thinks they are comfortably home.

When the PRS crisis was at its highest peak the then former YB of Simanggang Jimmy Donald was told by the then Deputy Minister in PMs office YB Joseph Entulu that ,” We shall overcome and you all will be WIPED OUT and FINISHED in the long run.” This is politics…It’s getting there as the forces with YB Larry Sng are exhausted,morale has sunk,programmes have been done without much headway, too much distress and insecurities promised and some of the generals are seen to be holding a WHITE FLAG.

We have to face REALITY as the State and the Federal governments have acknowledged James Masing as the President of Party Rakyat Sarawak. Logically speaking,do we fight if the faction is not powerful enough,including disillusioned supporters with no strategies and no consistency..?

The worn out generals sees a stronger PRS would mean that the party will not have a”DURI DALAM DAGING” meaning “THORNS IN THE FLESH“. We cannot be like the ‘lallang” grass anymore. PRS needs to consolidate and be a force to be reckoned with instead of too much infighting.

Anwar knows that very well too. He has utilised all methods and political strategies to ”ROCK the BN Administration.” But Pak Lah has not wavered and keeps coming back to fight. He is not seating still as many has thought  that it will be a little too late for him. He was afterall,”ALWAYS SLEEPING”. PM is not just going to be pushed right down to the bottom of the sea and also not going to surrender UMNO’s position to PKR.

Now he shows his resolute self eventhough he is being cornered by not only Anwar but Mahathir,Najib,Muhyddin and Tengku. I would not even give him a ghost of a chance to come out of this battle alive. But he has studied all the moves made by Anwar and Najib that he survived this onslaught.

Anwar knows his credibility is tarnished and he has met up with his generals in DAP,PAS and PKR. They have said their points in the closed door meeting and Anwar has come out of it wiser. He needs to consolidate his forces and he needs the generals to fight alongside him and be more active yet careful with their attacks on BN leaders. The political situation is so fluid at the moment and any wrong moves by Pakatan will be tracked and quashed.

Anwar needs now to calculate meticulously his next move. There must be a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the mood in the country. Now the 916 has been called a big “LETDOWN” by most Malaysians. Anwars next political move needs to be one of dominance and he needs to attack the very core of BN alliances and disrupt their strategies until the WHITE FLAG is raised.

He needs ALSO to utilise all the wisdom of his generals in order to achieve his ultimate. The THRONE is there but at the moment he can only watch but cannot sit on it. MALAYSIABOLEHLAND loves this script with BN and Pakatan maximising the full potential of political means and ways…

Anwar I’m still waiting for you to look into my eyes and say,”6 seasons I TOLD YOU SO AUDIE…….”

PRS”110 metres Hurdles”

 

A veteran  political analysts said to audie61,” The 110 metres hurdles have been won by Larry Sng and he has crossed the line.” What the point and why should James Masing still try to harp on the issue of Pelagus State Seat? It’s already a Done Deal and the Pelagus issue has already been settled and completed.   Wasnt he told to “Swallow his pride by CM and he will come out on top.” Something must not be right or else the PRS President  would have be tightlipped and carry on with business as usual. Why rock the boat when everything seems smooth?

 He can shout as loud as possible to the press/mass media but as far as CM is concerned Larry will still be a candidate for Pelagus. The poltical analysts said it just shows that ” James needs to speak out to apiece the WARLORDS in PRS and to keep his troops intact with him as PRS prepares to face the State elections.

 Can anyone rule out the possibilty of PRS leaving the BN State coalition? It has happened to PBDS though its now a different party but some remaining players inside PRS are very much the same but are older, wiser and more politically experience. Could this ignite the fire of 1987 revisited?

The State BN has ensured that stabilty,unity and harmony is prevalent in Sarawak Politics. To say that conflict was totally eradicated ,whether involving intra-party relationship or specific personalities in the most sublte ways,is attempting to paint a picture of political bliss. The State BN leadership has been able significcantly to contain most of these PETTY bickerings without upsetting the balance of power within the State BN.

We know that crisis breeds opportunities and conflicts is an inherent process in any power arrangement. A better understanding of how PRS works one has to understand that usage of  the role of conflict to gain a foothold. The Pelagus issue is very much a thorn that has stuck in the parties backside and the party members according to sources have been pressuring the President  to once and for all lay the ghosts of Pelagus to rests. Though its very thought -provoking the President  expects this approach would open a leeway for the CM to appease the party.

The CM being very astute will no doubt hold this card close to his chest and will refuse even when asked by press reporters to reveal even the slightest clue. The excitement is already up an ante on Pelagus State seat and James will sooner rather than later push his cart of names for consideration in the remaining 8 PRS areas. The 110 metres hurdles have been won by Larry Sng and be rests assured that he could even be an independant BN candidate.

WILL  PRS TAKE THAT..??

The article from Borneo Posts (English daily) which has sparked differences of opinions in Sarawak’s political arena. 

In a broad hint that incumbent must go, party president said successors have been identified

SRI AMAN: There are no two ways to it. Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) is staking its claim over Pelagus and has identified several names to win it come the next state election.Speaking to reporters after officiating at a public function at Rumah Anyie Rangie, Entulang Entawa, here yesterday, President Dato Sri Dr James Masing said PRS has short-listed “a few  possible  candidates” for the Iban-majority seat.

“We have several good nominees to choose from, who are highly qualified local Dayaks and the most appropriate to continue the Barisan Nasional (BN) struggle in Pelagus,” he said, clearly hinting that Pelagus incumbent Larry Sng will have to go.

And if that was not enough, Masing further said: “Pelagus is PRS’ for keeps … we will defend it come election.”

Asked to name names, Masing said not only is the time not right but that PRS prefers to let the potential successors to work hard on the ground until such time as when  the  party  will weigh who is the best of the lot.

“What I can tell you now is the potential names are highly qualified Ibans who are born in Pelagus and capable of carrying the BN flag high,” Masing reiterated.

Masing, who is also Land Development Minister, was earlier asked of PRS’ stand regarding Pelagus whose assemblyman he had expelled.

Sng, an assistant minister with three portfolios, is now partyless after he was sacked by PRS in 2008.

But since he was retained in last December’s cabinet reshuffle, many political observers until now believe that  Sng  will  defend  Pelagus under a seat-swapping arrangement between PRS and another BN component.

In response, Masing said yesterday that he does not see any seat-swapping coming simply because whoever is supposed to be the other party in the arrangement has not been showing any interest.

“I think  they (the other BN component) are not interested in swapping seats. Because of that, PRS will be defending Pelagus because the seat has always been ours,” he said.

“Will it be Snowdon or Mong In Sarawak Cabinet Reshuffle…???”

April 8th 2008 and now to November 15th 2009.Long Wait……!!  It seems that PRS President  has made his intentions known on who he has selected to replace the Late YB Dublin Unting as Assistant Minister. The innsider information points to the preferred YB for Bukit Begunan Mong Dagang while the other it seems that the speculations of Snowdon Lawan YB from Balai Ringgin would not materialise.

There is another name being pushed forward if the CM decides to replace Larry Sng as he is partyless. Snowdon is very much a junior in the party and sources say that YB Joseph Mauh looks a more likely candidate. Another political weightage of not picking the candidacy of Snowdon is to tests the resolve of his true allegiance to the CM if he is not picked as Assistant Minister this time around. CM’s own political inner circle has already made their intentions known and CM will weigh all the options and will certainly arrive at right decision.

Snowdon might just have to BITE HIS FINGERNAILS A LITTLE LONGER and not only that he has forgotten/pushed aside too many people in too short a time and ELEVATED himself too far up says a political innsider. He has also since become an ISLAND. 

Remember what Singapore former Premier Lee Kuan Yew said ,” No Man is an Island and you must never forget where you come from and who are the people who put you there. It will come back and haunt you.”

 CM has always got it right and he would not be pushed to make a mistake in the tail end of his Chief ministership. That is his prerogative and we know its all a calculated move where no one will know until the very last minute. Of course the lobbyists would put in their preffered candidate.

We wrote this on May 15th 2008

One particular date the 30th of May 2008 is being penned as an Important date when  the 24 State Legislative Council Members will know whether they have kept their respective portfolios as Ministers and Assistant Ministers. When the CM was asked on the 8th of April when he  would reshuffle the Cabinet, he said it would be after the state legislative assembly sitting which just ended yesterday the 14th of May. Will the Chief Minister who has the prerogrative on the final list add on to the present 24 member cabinet or make just minor adjustments to bring in new blood?

The 30th of May 2008 will just be perfect says a BN Party Member who himself is a Dayak. It will be a timely present for the Dayak community as they will be celebrating the Gawai “Harvest Festival”.It’s a festival celebrated in Sarawak on 1 June every year and is both a religious and social occasion.It is also a thanksgiving day marking good harvest and a time to plan for the new farming season or activities ahead.

The New Blood as a former group editor puts it will benefit the Bidayuh community mosts as they were not included in the Federal Cabinet set-up. Amongst them are two Assemblymen from 2 different BN Component parties. The frontrunner will be Tasik Biru Assemblymen Peter Nansian who is a Senior Vice-President of SPDP while the other hopeful would be Bengoh Assemblymen Dr Belek Jerip  ak.Susil a SUPP Supreme Council Member. YB Frederick Bayoi (Kedup) was quick to point out that the stories that has been circulating that they staged a “silent protests” IN the DUN session was unfounded and uncalled for.

It looks almost certain that the following from PBB as one PBB party stalwart puts it to 4 names in the CM’s preferred lists as Assistant Ministers and is also a very good mix of Malay,Iban and Melanau YBs .  Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah (Asajaya)  Dr Stephen Rundi (Kemena) Aidan Wing (Lambir) and YB Puan Sharifah Hasidah(Semariang). The Asajaya YB who is presently the ADUN Backbenchers Chairman is also the Chief Political Secretary to the Chief Minister.

 Dr.Stephen Rundi the Sarawak Riverboards Chairman is also a strong candidate as he is the Secretary-General  of PBB. Hornbill Skyways Chairman Aidan Wing will replace the void for the Head of the Christian Melanau community. There has been strong requests for women representation and YB Puan Sharifah Hasidah stands a very good chance to carry on the footsteps left by her mother YB.Datuk Hajah Sharifah Mordiah Bt.Tuanku Haji Fauzi who served as the  Assistant Minister of Social Welfare and Women Affairs.

Another name widely speculated to be given a Ministerial position is Datuk Seri Adenan Satem (Former Federal Environment and Natural Resources Minister) He has been very quiet of late and do not rule him out as the Chief Minister does have a soft spot for him. He was after all the Chief Minister’s trusted General before and Pehin Sri would find the best way and the right time  to bring Adenan back into the cabinet. Would you dare rule this scenario out?

SUPP will fight for at least  1 Chinese representation to replace the two Assistant Ministers  who lost in the Kuching area. YBhg Datuk Sim Kheng Hui (Secretary General) losts in Pending and YBhg Datuk Alfred Yap Chin Loi(Publicity and Information Secretary) in Kota Sentosa. The possible candidate in the party’s mind would be the present Padawan Council Chairman Tan Joo Phoi who is also the Assemblymen for Batu Kawah. It will represent a right balance for SUPP Assistant Ministers in all the regions

There are strong indications that the Chief Minister would maintain the two PRS Assistant Ministers in Datuk Dublin Unting (Lubok Antu) and Larry Sng (Pelagus). This way the chess game would be complete for the Chief Minister as he will be able to checkmate the forces that are unhappy with his earlier decisions of replacing Jimmy Donald and Jawah Gerang as candidates in the last Parliamentary Elections.

YB Mong Dagang

PRS President Datuk Seri James Masing would however welcome the exclusion of YB Larry Sng as (Assistant Minister.)  Larry (ADUN Pelagus) has after all he led a group of loyalists to dethrone Datuk Seri James Masing as the President. He would push for the inclusion of Mong Dagang( ADUN Bukit Bangunan) who also holds an important posts in the party as PRS Youth Chief.

Some PRS insiders and members has said that ,’The President would sought a ”little help” from his friends in PBB most notably YB DATUK PATINGGI TAN SRI (DR) ALFRED JABU ANAK NUMPANG or YB DATO SRI HAJI AWANG TENGAH ALI HASAN” in this pursuit.  This is one way of thanking YB Mong for his loyalty towards him.
 
Who else will be dropped is the next question in asking? In the PBB circles the strong indications are that 1.YB Dr.Abang Hj.Abdul Rauf B.Abang Hj.Zen (Assistant Minister of Environment) 2.YB.Datuk Ambrose Blikau Ak.Enturan (Assistant Minister of infrastucture Development)  and  3.YB.Tuan Haji Bolhassan B.Haji Di ( Assistant Minister of Technology) are the names most likely to be dropped to make way for the new blood.

The Sarawak cabinet re-shuffle is indeed in the pipeline and the speculative date has been set.The Chief Minister holds the names of the Ministers and Assistant Ministers close to his chest and it will be a matter of time before he announces it. It could even be a few day’s time or one or two month’s time. However the  speculative date did start from the 8th of April 2008.

A former personal aide of the CM mentioned to me once that the CM will go through the lists at least 7 times and will only disclose the names on the day of announcement. It is pointless to speculate on “CM’s Team” in the cabinet re-shuffle.

After all it’s the Chief Minister’s exclusive privilege on the Cabinet lineup.

Switching Sides”PRS Youth Chief..?”

mong Dagang

Seems that ex banker and YB for Bukit Begunan is ‘rumoured” to be switching sides. However,its not from BN to any Pakatan parties. Like the Astro mixed FM ‘I heard a rumour” this is the early virus circulating in Kuching City to Sri Aman to the far reaches of  Northern Limbang.

Any truth? If the calculations are correct it seems that Entulu is gaining momentum and using James Masings theory of “ONLY YBs MATTERS” to force a “deal” in surrendering the “PRS chair” to him.

Only Last week it was speculated that YB Liwan Lagang ADUN Belaga has taken the bold step to move into Entulu’s camp. Has Mong been informed to do likewise?

Why all the sudden? Has Mong been relieved of the eye blinds? Has the Hidden Hands cut a deal that if he switches sides “An Assistant Ministers Posts awaits him being the senior YB in the party..?”

It also seems that he has been short changed is the word in some political deals and he has suddenly woken up to a fine sunshine Monday morning to be in “Entulu’s camp” .

Of course, Entulu has every right to be overjoyed with ENTHUSIASM but with CAUTION. His grabbing of ultimate power is close and within his reach. Eventhough James has the upperhand according to a machai in James camp he must find ways to really curb the threat of Entulu before he himself gets EXTINGUISHED. Entulu will  fear no-one especially when the signals are all favouring him. 

This is evident especially when Entulu sent an sms sometime in July 18th 2008 “If anyone out there thinks they are so good,Easy solution..next elections fight us.’

BN does need this type of “dayak leader” to check the ever growing threat of dayak unhappiness with the present ruling government. The dayaks know that PKR can offer them an alternative for now eventhough its not long term solutions.

In conversations with some senior BN leaders they say “James is so afraid of his own shadows and  his decisions are not FIRM.Tendency to flip-flop. ” Doesn’t this sound familiar?” 

With Mong Dagang a willing lieutenant deserting James it seems that Entulu’s ever growing power will be uncontrollable. What options does James has? Another pre-emptive strike?

ZG1BNCAMUZ7ZICAHR6MFVCALLLE7XCABDAC9RCA4F8KGHCAB08R39CAR8C8W0CA3EYI5UCAMA2L9ZCAGIC9PACABA9266CAR3IJSLCAYZLXP3CAEOQDN5CAOHD302CAMYC2MYCAUHJ0C7CA2MMQUQCAFFWI8Q

These two people pictured with James are also looking at saving their own political lives or else they will be left deep and wet in the dungeon. Remember we asked,”Is the Walikota Kapit Philimon Nuing or Pol.Sec Wilson Uggak with James or Entulu.?

A political watcher confirmed in so many words,” THE FIGHT IS ON

We say as always,”Are the HIDDEN HANDS closing in on James Masing?” Tell me………… 

What “SPDP/PRS Merge..??”

2009-B

It seems the less said about the subject the better it is for both parties. The members and grassroots of both parties are feeling the heat and thus mosts of them are giving their so called”objections‘ to a merged entity.

We have covered this subject quite extensively and in the last couple of days internet portal ,”Malaysiakini” and another PRS SC members blog,”Borneo Warrior” also gave the political netcitizens something to ponder on this subject. Obviously, the spark has started the fire and it is starting to  engulf both PRS/SPDP top hierarchy.  

In conversations up and down the State of Sarawak it seems that most people are pointing the finger to the deputy of SPDP Peter Nyarok Ak.Entri who is very much against the “idea of a merged entity” Is Nyarok so powerful?One could even hear the echos coming all the way as he is the voice of a certain higher ranking and powerful SPDP tycoon. A political strategists said In Iban” IYA ENDA BERANI“( Not brave enough).

We also received an Sms which hit the nail in the coffin as we blog this article ,”MP Tiong put up a strong resistance.” What more is there to say.? Does anyone dare to go against him?

The PRS boys dare to go against Sng Chee Hua but with Tiong are there anytakers? This remains the stumbling block but with Mawan helming the merged entity maybe this might just make Tiong give way? Any bets that there will surely be other resistance..???

The camel’s back is already broken and now what remains is that “GOLDEN Tiger on the Hilltop….Click below for earlier postings:-

    “Black Eyed James PRS/SPDP Merger Diversion…”

    Are you ready for this..? It seems embattled PRS President James Masing has somewhat found a way to divert his already fluid relationship with the CM Taib by tabling a motion at last weeks Supreme Council meeting for a Merger.  It was agreed but with a condition that SPDP first table a resolution for a CALL OF A MERGER. PRS will then only hold its TDC in which they will follow suit.All this will be done in the early part of next year 2010.   

    The blue print and the much needed nod of approval from one set of Supreme Council seems to have unlocked the key for a Merger of both parties. Though negotiations are ongoing it seems that mosts details have been ironed out and at bests all political appoitments will be ‘status quo“.

    James once a Blue Eyed Boy of CM Taib has somewhat now found himself at the wrong end of the CM’s stick and he has suffered more Black Eyes than what his supporters are used to. He was once revered as an upcoming Dayak leader and his advises and assistance were generally sought for.

    The GOLD LADEN CARRIAGE RIDE has somewhat stopped. Over the past year he has been seen to be making too many mistakes where it was almost impossible for CM to cover his endless journey of political mishaps. His supporters thought getting rid of “Larry Sng” was the answer to all their problems but it was all James wrong undoing/manouvering which has caught up with him in a quagmire.

    As a politician James somewhat forgot a very SIMPLE POLITICAL RULE. It’s to cover his tracks properly eventhough as a trained Antropologists he thought that he could deceive or outwit those who he has somewhat forgotten says a political watcher. There were many instances which he thought he could plaster over with “A genuine statement in supporting BN” but CM has already done his homework and kept the minute details in his locker room far from his very OWN eagled eyed and eves dropping machais.

    Now the only setback for the merger it seems is the question of WHO LEADS THIS MERGED ENTITY..? Do I need to spell it out here. What was the Final straw that broke the camels back. ? A veteran politician said,” Let’s see whether Taib follows James call and has a reshuffle within these month. If not,James can just get ready to be dropped or just SHIP HIMSELF OUT..Very blunt as in Politics there are NO POLITICAL PRISONERS.”

    James Masing’s impending tussle with Entulu might not happen as the bigger picture it seems is now the Merger entity. Entulu must thank his “Lucky Stars’ that the Hidden Hands/Puppet Masters  have worked a better deal for him to carry on his political journey. SPDP President Mawan would be watching this political scenario with Interests as he gets on with his usual Adminstrative work for the State Government. His advisors would have advised him to play to the tune of CM Taib and do not even try to push any buttons which might trigger a FALSE ALARM.

    Obviously, the answer is that BN4 would soon be BN3 to face the “UNITED” opposition in the next state elections.

    We say as always,”There is tension on the ground especially with the impending SPDP/PRS merger talks eventhough many are denying it. We shall just leave it to the HIDDEN HANDS to work their Magic..

    IMO-“Senior Sng must have had Tantrums”

    jmasing

    “Happier times-“The last 25 minutes Supreme Council meeting before the Pre-Emptive Move”

    I.M.O.– In my opinion and nobody’s I would imagine this scenario.Dato Sng Chee Hua must have thrown out a tantrum and at worse cursed so many times that its bests to avoid him. A person who is kind at heart at the bests of times.

    However  Senior Sng has a way in pushing his ideas and thoughts across and one would not be able to know what hit him. This Borneo Posts article,”Time to fill vacant assistant minister posts:Masing” would not exactly make his food go down well in his early breakfast. Wouldn’t you be ANGRY as a Parent like Senior Sng when you see this column…

    According to Masing,PRS now has two vacant assistant ministers posts-one,made vacant following the demise of former Assistant Minister of Agriculture and Sport and two,because Assistant Minister In Chief Minister’s Department Larry Sng being ‘partyless’

    Whats more James is using the cover of the CM to push his political statement through with saying this,” he agreed with Chief Minister’s recent statement that the next cabinet reshuffle would be to prepare BN to face the next election. He said this to reporters that it was crucial for BN to gain the support of the people and to use the resources available by filling the vacant assistant minister’s posts.

    Many PRS members and sympathisers have their own version of James Masings statements and we compile what has been said in the market talk in Sarawak eventhough today sees the DUN Manek Urai by elections in Kelantan.

    • Could they be more than what meets the eyes..?
    • Could this be a body blow to the Hidden Hands ?
    • Could this be done to nullify the damage that the Puppet Masters are doing to create a wedge between President Masing and his deputy Entulu?
    • Could this be also telling the CM Taib that in PRS Masing is very much in charge?
    • Could the political strategists in PRS be telling the lobbyists that Masing has the final say eventhough the CM has the prerogative?
    • Could Masing be pushing the envelope to CM Taib a bit too far?
    • Could Masing be justs telling CM Taib that he is the President of PRS and he is only informing the CM of his members intentions and views. 
    • Could this statement be more harmful to the already deteriorating relationship of CM and Masing?
    • Could Senior Sng just let it go?
    • Could Masing be facing a tidal wave very soon?

    Many senior PRS members were tight lipped as they were reminded that there is a“gag’ order in place and that disciplinary actions will be taken by the party. Of course some former  PBDS members were just clapping their hands as it seems that James suddenly has got the LION HEART and telling the BOSS indirectly through the mass media. Doesn’t this even lenghten the already strained realtionship?

     Some political observers are likening this situation very much like what PBS did to Tun Mahathir in the eleventh hour. There is just that  possibility as many have not forgotten how Taib and Tun embrace each other which many political figures were angered by this Sandiwara. It will not be a surprise if it REALLY HAPPENS.

    That is also one of the many reasons that CM sees the need for a merger of SPDP/PRS and it will be better controlled. The window doesn’t just close there. There is a lot of dissatisfaction amongst PRS members in being overlooked in certain GLC positions and other business opportunities. CM and his advisors are closely monitoring the situation and does not need PRS to create more problems as the State prepares to face DAP/PAS/PKR/SNAP opposition parties.

     Of course James needs to weigh his options well as he is not getting any younger and at 60 it might  just be the perfect time in politics to go for BROKE. In 1983 when he first joined Politics he was a fresh face and now 26 years later being overlooked and considered a dayak leader he has every chance to move ahead. He also knows that getting Senior Sng hot at the collar will in fact push his political ambitions a step further. In other words its just bluntly put,”Don’t think I am afraid of the CM Taib..?” A lot of dayak people wished he has the guts to say that and JUST maybe be on his side. You know what they say when the leader is beaten all the soldiers will run helter- skelter.

    We say as always,”There will be a lot of soul searching for PAS in Manek Urai after securing a tissue thin majority of 65 and BN will be questioning what could have been too? James has open up the PANDORA Box and he would have ANTICIPATED that Senior Sng will not let him go of the HOOK so easily.

    PRS…”Who is Entulu..??

    P214-SELANGAU

    Eversince the so-called “rumours” which has set Joseph Entulu and James Masing on a “collision” course Party Rakyat Sarawak members and higher ranking officials are asking this very familiar question,”Is it Real..?” The next bests answer is from an SC member who is aligned to James and he said,”Who is Entulu to fight James..??”

    There are also word on the ground that audie61 was the first to break the news. For the information of the reading public and supporters of PRS/BN we only caught wind of this and before it broke the CAMELS BACK we decided to blog the story to avoid an UGLY SHOWDOWN in PRS which are beneficial to some who practises the ART OF CONFRONTATIONS to make a living.

    It was already spreading like wildfire in Kapit  and in Selanggau and an aide of Joseph Entulu (Deputy Minister of Rural Development ) even said that James the President is so “ungrateful ” to Entulu for all that he has done for him. Quoting him in Iban,”UDAH NGENA TANGGA,KA DI TUNU”. (similar to after crossing the bridge burn it)

    We would also like to inform those who put the blame on audie61 to just watch their tongues as we have prove already and it’s taped by handphone. You know who you are and we will take the necessary steps to CLEAR OUR GOOD NAME.( there are many ways to skin a cat black/white)

    The articles which we wrote are edited and before its posted we check and double check our sources. We do not intend to be associated with rumour mongering nor to defame someones characters. Our article “5 solid reasons for JE’s fight..?? It is supposed to be written in FULL and not a PUZZLE to some. We wanted the two leaders to know that this is happening on the ground and they need to take the necesary actions and steps. If we do not care TWO HOOTS Of PRS we will just BLOW IT OUT OF PROPORTION.

    This also goes to other political parties and those connected with politics. We have said we are for the people,with the people and by the people. We keep those who are out of line in check be it also Pakatan/BN members.

    We say as always,”Don’t hide behind the iron curtains hahaha and criticize others. If gossiping is your art there is a DEGREE IN HARVARD ..or OXFORD….
