Look beyong your nose

Look beyond your nose                                                     27/2/2012

          Are you well-prepared for the 13^th general election which some guessed will come in May but I believe will come after Ramadan (when) or 2 or 3 months before March 2013.  Najib is not so confident though he seems to get assurance from different quarters especially his comrades.  Well, well, have you check-listed to assess and evaluate the leaders in your constituencies?  Check if they have fulfilled their promises and  what they have done in terms of time and quality.  Never again let your long house / short house chiefs / community leaders to decide for you whom to vote for and get a sum of money.  In short, do not sell your votes in exchange for the sum of money.  If your chiefs or leaders bring money for you, take it but decide yourselves whom to vote for.  The money after all is ours, taxpayers’ money abusively used in vote buying, for sure.

          Awang Tengah Ali pleaded people to give a fresh mandate to the BN party.  Think critically the reasons why you should.  Get the ideas of the first class standard or quality of the product and compare the product being delivered to you.  Calculate the amount of allocation funds and the quality of the product to decide whether a lump sum of money has been embezzled in the process.  It is the responsibility of everyone in the community to check and scrutinise the project and the product.  Be prepared to sue the government for the poor product.

          “Vote for BN” Ahmad Lai Bujang, Sibuti MP, tells people.  Ask yourselves what he has promised and what promises he has fulfilled for the people in Sibuti. 

The people here are reminded to vote only BN candidates and not to gamble their future by voting the opposition in the coming general election.  (23^rd February, 2012.  Home, the Borneo Post, p.14)

          Changing the system of government is a norm in a true democratic countries like United Kingdom, the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand……….. and so on.  In just concluded election in Taiwan, we see the progress of the mechanism of democracy there and better quality of life.  Why does he think that giving the mandate to Pakatan Rakyat (PR) party is gambling your future?  Are you treated like fools?   I hope new Dayaks know better which party to support in the 13^th general election if we want a holistic development in Sarawak as a whole.

Sibuti MP Ahmad Lai Bujang said the opposition was only keen at looking for weakness in the BN government and would use them as weapons to manipulate the people, especially those in the rural areas.

          70% or more Chinese  are supporting the opposition.  Do you think we are fools?   The development of Sarawak is too much manipulated by Taib Mahmud and his cronies.  Hence our development is partial, isolated and poor like the road system, the drainage and irrigation system, medical services, education…….. we have.  Find out more yourselves from friends, relatives and other sources to clarify in order to evaluate properly. 

          Be wise and bold for change for better life with good infrastructures like well-connected and good road system throughout Sarawak, good drainage and irrigation system to prevent annual floods and landslides, proper medical services with a good staff of medical personnel and services for different diseases, good system of education for all…………..  It has been 48 years since we joined the Federation of Malaysia, what do we gain?  Ponder on it!
