Who is the boss? April, 2012
A
servant is a servant. A master is a
master. But in Malaysia, Sarawak
especially, a servant becomes a master once the master entrusts him or her the
power to do the work. This is the
fact, the practice and the phenomenon
everywhere in Malaysia, Sarawak especially.
Therefore , when
James Masing’s in his Malaysia-famous saying “Jangan Lawan Touke!” in the
incident when a physically challenged man who showed his support of PR
coalition openly in the 416 state election, the man is denied of the welfare
and other subsidies. James Masing tells
us the fact, the truth, the practice and the phenomenon in Sarawak and
everywhere in Malaysia . Why……. are you only so shocked now?
Isn’t it true that
Taib Mahmud and his cronies are always so bossy, monopolising and always “me first” in everything? Check who decides everything for us people;
who is in control the resources at will in Sarawak since time immemorial? Guess, who is the richest man in whole-wide
Malaysia? Find out how much ill-gotten
wealth Taib Mahmud, James Masing, Jabu, Mawan, Tengah Ali, Wong Soon
Koh………..amassed in commission, corruption and collusion in the development
projects signing off for different consortiums or contractors. In a nutshell, who are the true beneficiaries
of the development projects? Ask
yourselves who the boss is in practice and reality!
Sarawak is so rich in timber resources
but isn’t it ridiculous that we cannot
get the quality timber products to develop our furniture industry? So, “Timber, timber everywhere, (1)” but why can’t we have the enough quality
supply we require for the development of our furniture industry? The Furniture Association has lately called
for the attention in the press hoping the authorities concerned will take heed
of their plights and will get the required assistance. I am reassured to say it is useless unless
they hold mass demonstration to protest and highlight to tell the whole-wide
world how we suffer under the dictatorial master, Taib Mahmud and his cronies.
For
the past 4 or 5 years, I have had the liking for carpentry work. I have tried to look for the quality timber
to build coops for my poultry, frames to fence up the coops, benches to put my
tools or things. I see the
potentialities in this industry. Yes, I
notice the shortage and the quality of the timber we have and the lack of the
government initiative to foster the development of the furniture industry. Taib Mahmud and his cronies our bosses are
only interested to get the commission in contracting out the forests to timber
companies. We people know a large % of
his astronomical amount of wealth is ill-gotten at the expense of we people.
If
our government is people-minded, we, no doubt, will have the best furniture
industry in whole-wide Malaysia, if not the whole world because the state is
timber-rich . We will be well-served, do you think so? I am confident enough to say we can engage
many creative individual, especially, our Iban / Dayak friends. They are so skilful and creative in carving,
sculpturing, ………….
Due
to space and time constraints, I can only pinpoint out an example of who the
boss is.
