The Global Witness, an open secret



                   The Global Witness, an open secret                 27/3/2013
          What is recorded in the video clip “The Global Witness” is an open secret that we have registered in our hearts and minds.   For ages, Taib Mahmud and his cronies have pillaged/plundered us, Sarawakians, especially the natives.  In the land of ignorants, he has ruled like the Czar / emperor.  At least 70% of the Sarawakians know how Taib Mahmud and his cronies plunder us at will.  He and his cronies always deny and deny the evil and sinful acts of devils / demons they have committed.  Who does not see them as a shame and curse of Sarawak?
          Every concerned Sarawakian knows how abusive, manipulative, despotic, nepotistic, evil, demonic and greedy Taib Mahmud is.  He and his cronies for ages have pillaged / plundered us, Sarawakians.  They have controlled almost every resource for their own good in the ratio 80%: 20% to others.  For years, I don’t know how many hectares of land they have signed off for different economic activities:  timber, oil palm………… and they have been paid handsomely in commission ?% in the processes.   The assets and wealth they possess are well-evidenced of their acts.  We are in consensus that we need a brand new government in the form of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) party to bring about Justice.  We should get back all the wealth they have swindled, embezzled, robbed and pillaged from us people.  
          With the money, we can improve the infrastructure facilities everywhere especially in  rural areas.  In one heart and mind, we Sarawakians are determined to force them to get out of the main stage of governance.  They can take the side stage of the opposition coalition and be the watchdogs to bark only.  They don’t need to do a thing but bark to alert just in case there is some mishap.  With the rich experiences of all kinds of evil acts of devils, they should be in the right positions  to do the work well.
          Sarawak was once rich in timber and we had different species of trees.  But now we lack of the supply of many kinds of timber to feed our sawmills.  I have been waiting for ‘malaka’ wood [1’’ X 2’’ X 3’] for months already from a particular timber trading outlet.  The operator told me the sawmill has not had the supply.  What has gone wrong?   Is it still not clear?  Though it is only one I go for the timber, is it not enough to tell the problem?  Is it not true that indiscriminate logging activities have been going on for the benefit of Taib Mahmud and his cronies and of course the timber companies.
          For fish, I like spotted mackerel most as I can use it to make fish balls and as an ingredient to make ‘shou mai’.  I have really liked this fish since small.  It is no longer easy to find this species of fish in Sibu and the price of the fish has hiked at least 100% - 120%  no matter what sizes compared with those 3-4 years ago.  The latest one I asked which was about a kilo plus was RM22.  I think the fish at least had been stocked up for few months already.   
          Some people told me that  Taib Mahmud and his cronies and those related to them in one way or another rent out the licences to the fishing boats for RM5000 a licence.  It is all due to corruption and collusion that we have about 300 foreign registered fishing boats / more plundering in the Sarawak waters day and night.  Hence the fish resources have depleted to such an extent that causes concern to any housewives who have the critical thinking to judge and conclude.  I hope that our political thugs will touch the Quran or Bible or any Holy book to declare that it is blatantly untrue.  Is there anyone still in doubt where  our fishes have gone?  Where are the variety and quality that I witnessed before 1998 before the fishing policy implemented to allow foreign fishing boats to come to pillage/ plunder us?
          For land, there is always in the name of development, the government take over the land that belongs to the people and through a way / another it turns out to be a money making development to benefit Taib Mahmud and his cronies and the related consortiums.  Have we not witnessed enough from the newspaper how the natives and non-natives whose land is taken over with little compensation / far below the market value / with the unfulfilled promise of compensation?   I wonder whether the landlords in Bako have been compensated for the land taken over by the state government. 
          In Sibu, my hometown, the old market along Market Road was knocked when late Robert Lau chaired SMC (Sibu Municipal Council).  It has been turned into a car parking lot.  For years, the parking lot was a night market for those to learn a living.  But now the night market / Pasar Malam has moved to the Butterfly Park a stone's throw away so much against the will of the operators.    It is rumoured that a shopping complex financed by KTS,  the company owned by late Robert Lau’s brother and his family would be built there.   This is how I see when a land or a place will be taken in the name of the development for the benefit of the people.  But often it turns to be for somebody who can afford to pay Taib Mahmud and his cronies a sum of money called “under table money”.  I believe many other people will tell you the same stories about how the land / place has been taken and turned for other purposes for the benefit of Taib Mahumd and his cronies and the related consortium.  Is Global Witness not telling us the practices and acts and doings of these devils / demons?  It is exactly what has been going on in Sarawak for 32 years to date..  This is exactly what we have registered in our hearts and minds.  
          Of course, he denied.  Who will admit  the sin one committed until he / she has been brought to the court to face the tribunal?  Have you not witnessed enough how Bill Clinton  denied and denied and denied how he sinned until he could not deny anymore when all the evidences and proofs were put before him?  So, when he declared openly that he had no astronomical amount of money deposited somewhere, who believed him?   It was self-deceiving to deceive others.  In Chinese we have the idiom saying [自欺欺人] We people just registered the fact of his sinful / evil acts in our hearts and minds.
          We know as long as the BN government is in power.  It is out of question they will take any action to trial him.  Besides, the BN government also do not have the chance anymore.  It is because I believe 70% of the people especially the youths despise and condemn the sinful / evil acts of Taib Mahmud and his cronies as well as all the BN political thugs everywhere.  People in general everywhere are obsessive with the thought to get rid of  / flush out all these abusive, corrupt, manipulative, despotic, nepotistic,  evil, demonic and greedy BN leaders. 
          The BN government after all is just an agent we people elected.  But they have failed in many ways to perform.   And why should we keep them to torture us?  Many BN political thugs are still in the illusion that they still can get many people to support to win.  Hence many like Wong Soon Kok, CHai Sek Loi (蔡细历)Najib, Muhyiddin ………….are still so deliriuos and so outspoken to talk about “to support the BN government for more development” without any tinge of shame to say so.
          Hence when Najib made the Integrity Pledge,  majority of us see not even worth more than two cents.  As bribing is just too common and penetrating.  What  can we say which one is / not when Najib and his consortium all deny it is not?   The aids in the form BR1M  RM500 to the low income group and with the promise to give more if the BN will win the 13th election; RM100 to primary and secondary students, book vouchers RM250 to all the college students;  RM250 to the singles;………………………………. 
          Therefore, we are all ready to tell them to behave themselves and step aside and leave the stage for good.  That’s it.
