Mycomments on Hanifah: Final Report will not be debated in parliament or made public
Mycomments on Hanifah: Final Report will not be debated in parliament or made public – Borneo Post online August 11th, 2020
I wonder why the Special Cabinet Committee of MA63 wants to make the final report of their discussion so secretive and sensitive when the legality of MA63 is widely believed to be void and null. Is it the reason for rejecting it to be debated and made public for fear of wide exposure to the scrutiny of the whole wide world?
The legality and controversy of MA63 has been widely discussed in various quarters and open to all for discussion. Refusing to make public the final report of the Special Cabinet Committee of MA63 only invites speculation of negotiation of the big guns for self-interest and benefits at the expense of Sarawakians and Sabahans in general. For the past 57 years, it has been the norm practice. We all have borne witness how the BN-led Sarawak and Sabah governments practised the government by and of the people but not for the people.
Hanifah Hajar Taib represents nothing but the Taib family and his fellow accomplices to plunder, exploit, oppress, suppress, rob and bully Sarawakians. Sarawakians have been impoverished by Taib Mahmud and his cronies who colluded with the colonial masters. The evil practices that he created during his tenure as chief minister of Sarawak from 1981 to 2013 are still prevailing in Sarawak. He is well-marked by his evil deeds being an extremely greedy, selfish, self-interested, egoistic, nepotistic, abusive, corrupt and devilish person.
The Sarawak BN-GPS government should declare Sarawak independence unilaterally, not indulge themselves in the make-believes that MA63 is legal and fool-play Sarawakians with the help of so-called federal government. Enough is enough. No one on earth in his right mind will cling to illegal agreement like the BN-GPS government.
Abang Johari only makes a fool of himself being so submissive to the colonial masters and imperialists. What is Abang Johari after all if Sarawakians see him a trash to be discarded? Sarawak belongs to Sarawakians not the BN-GPS government which has impovished every aspect of Sarawak ranging from the infrastructure like the proper road system, public transport, quality medical services, good quality of education system, job opportunities, water and electricity, telecommunication system and the like.
Facing the dire conditions of Sarawak, like TaibMahmud, he has created dreams for Sarawakians to be fulfilled in the future. He told Sarawakians that Sarawak would become the most developed “state” in Malaysia (Malaya in disguise). Who on earth in the age of internet still takes his words blindly without any research on the related literature on the tendency of this kind of political thugs? The more incapable a leader is, the more indulgent he is in creating “future dreams” to be fulfilled.
If we allowed BN-GPS government to lead Sarawak beyond the 12th Sarawak election, we would be dragged into the maelstrom or mire of suffering and torture. Be prepared to discard this abusive, corrupt, incapable and weak government for good.

何俐萍.一道筑在东西马之间的高墙
何俐萍.一道筑在东西马之间的高墙 2020-08-15 07:50:00 绵里藏心
迈入8月,内心总有一股无可奈何的情绪在翻腾。无他,年年8月无可避免又陷入国庆日和独立年份之争,即使政府已把国庆从8月横跨到9月,干脆在一个月内连庆两个历史上都各具意义的日子,都平息不了纷争。
曾几何时,“马来亚”成了西马的替代名字,虽然它确实是西马的前称,但毕竟这已是过去式了。当旁人左一句“马来亚”右一声“马来亚”,很坦率地说,我是听在耳里,觉得刺耳,内心泛起疙瘩。今日的局面是政客当初典当人民的委托所造成,但半个多世纪以来的剥削,最不该赔上的是两地人民的情谊。
因为政治意识形态愈加明显的不同,在两地之间已筑起一道虽然看不见也摸不着的高墙,而这面墙有趋向愈砌愈高的迹象。
但政治就像是双面刀,因为利益的考量,它让政客不得不在必要关头,把人民的感受放在心里。所有关系主权的释回,若不是基于利益使然,也若不是民间力量汇聚成雪球翻滚的效应,来自砂拉越的声音,恐怕只是如蚊子般嗡嗡作响。也同样因为民间的施压,促使一部分砂人走向必须争取以砂拉越为优先,强调地方主义至上,甚至是以独立为诉求。
地方主义没有对或错可言,独立自主也可以是人人追求的梦想,更不能被视为是不可饶恕之罪。民主意识的抬头,有太多实例已印证愈是采取高压的抑制手段,效果往往是适得其反,反弹愈是更大。当政者非但不能无视,反而必须适时、适地作出体面的回应,而且不能是言语上的敷衍,必须用行动作为回应和反馈。国油公司最近同意归还积欠砂拉越超过20亿的石油销售税就是政治干预带来的成果。
“这一次州选举我们要聚焦的是主权,不是谈民生……”、“我们必须努力去做,更要影响我们的下一代……”,和我说这番话的人是落力推动砂独者。这番话让我顿时有所思,主权是州选举的主旋律,捍卫本土权益是砂人都应共同促成的一份责任,但不管是高呼必须要回砂拉越的参组地位,或是疾呼砂拉越人必须省思是要继续过着权益被剥夺的生活还是要勇敢为后代辟一条独立自主之路,该捍卫和守护的还包括普遍砂拉越人憨厚、爱和平,从不以激进极端的手段争取的特质。
多年前,行动党默许仅仅是一个普通党员以毒舌文化涂毒这片土地时,我清楚记得很多砂拉越人是满腔愤怒,甚至是厉声批判行动党不该放纵,任由丘某人以污言秽言污染砂拉越。但今天,叫我惶恐和不安的是,砂拉越也有一群人是挟本土情意结,走的是偏执和狭隘的思维之路,把拒绝马来亚的一切当成是铁律,这难道也是我们所要“传承”给下一代?
今天,我们要争辩的已不再是国家究竟是独立57年还是63年,我们要思考,甚至警戒的是,国家面对的挑战早已不再具限于种族和宗教问题,而是扩大到区域之分,甚至是在鼓吹排外的思维。
我们要教育下一代,不管未来如何改变,此刻你我他都是共筑马来西亚的一分子,也必须明白,强调事事以砂拉越为优先是一种醒觉教育,唯教育绝不应该是在人民的心亩撒播仇恨的种子。

我不知道何时开始“马来亚”这称呼会变成很刺耳的呼号。这怎么一回事呢? 马来亚这国名是否已经累积太多太多太多负面的代名词呢? 马来西亚是马来亚联邦的伪装。据说马来亚,新加坡,砂拉越和沙巴四国联邦。马来亚政府打从开始就抱着拼吞新砂沙三邦国的野心。新加坡无法认同马来亚政府的霸道,很庆辛的,就跟马来亚脱离关系。从此砂沙两邦国,被无限掠夺和打压,就。。。。沦落到今天的地步。
今天,还有多少%砂人不认为马来亚化名名马来西亚不是殖民霸权呢? 他们用各种方式洗脑砂沙两邦国人把马来亚当‘祖国’来对待。我们被狠狠掠夺,剥削,打压,抢劫和霸凌到今天。
有至少30%的人,以我个人观察已经完全马来西亚化,把侵略者当自家人看待。 完全没有砂拉越当成是国来爱戴,不管砂国跟马来亚有多少岁月的关系,那能接受他国霸占咱们国家而都无所谓呢。有人听到砂拉越独立这事儿很不是味道。认为这种关系马来亚和砂拉越—联邦和“州“最好要维持下去。
马来西亚本来就是个‘怪胎’。 马来西亚/马来亚本来就地理,文化风俗。。。非自然的联合。 马来亚和砂沙筑有一道很高的墙没有什么奇怪。这57年被掠夺,剥削,打压和霸凌才是砂沙人心头恨和愤怒。 两地之间相隔1437 公里用非常手段硬凑在一起的,是时候来个了断了吧!
砂拉越宣布独立对星洲日报可能会带来一定的影响。这家砂拉越报纸已经办得很马来亚化了,在马来亚发光发热,也很马来亚为中心和重心。
对砂被殖民57年累积的愤怒转化成偏执和有人看起来很狭隘的思维是可以理解的。我不认为会流传到后代呢。 砂拉越独立了,一切摆平了,偏执和狭隘都主动化解了。 对排斥侵略者的代表本来就是人性,何必小题大做呢? 我说当砂国获得独立后,一切自然就摆平了。游客带来国家的收入,那来的排外呢?
对不起,天底下那一个殖民地可以跟殖民宗主国共筑国家。或者那一殖民宗主国真的有心 发展殖民地。砂沙两国今天的状况是谁造成的? 大家都是马来西亚/马来亚一份子,砂沙两国还要要求继续共筑宗主国家,认贼做父吗? 砂人还能不愤怒吗? 心中很恨的表达被看成偏执和狭隘,那就要看谁做诠释了。

Oh, Sarawak, my homeland 12th August, 2020
Oh, Sarawak, my homeland 12th August, 2020
Oh, Sarawak, my homeland rich in natural resources with vast stretches of land of 124,450 km² in comparison to those countries so much less than this size but is not so vast compared with the countries like China, USA, Britain, … which are many times bigger.
Saying that Sarawak is too vast to be developed is irresponsible and incapable when I see that the countries like China, USA, Britain … so many times bigger with more rugged terrain are developed well enough.
Taib Mahmud, the most corrupt, nepotic, greedy, autocratic, selfish, evil …. had so often repeated that Sarawak was too vast to be developed when he was in tenure as the Chief Minister of Sarawak for 33+ years. So for 33+, he practically did nothing to develop Sarawak but build up his immense business empire speedily with no evidence in black and white of his corruption and collusion with the Malayan high ranking officials in the acts of plundering and exploitation.
It is said that he has at least RM63 billion/ RM63,000,000,000 of wealth in his and his family’s possession. Prove to me that it is not true and condemn me for fake news. I wonder if this money is put in two times A4 sized boxes, how many boxes there are. But is it possible some day, to force him to pour out what he has swallowed?
Why has Sarawak become the third poorest “state” (from a nation being debased into a state in the federation of Malaysia/Malaya)? Who gave them the permission to do so? Who has been colluding with these Malayan officials to plunder, exploit, oppress, suppress, rob and bully Sarawakians? Sarawak has been impoverished by the BN-GPS which many Sarawakians overlooked.
Whenever there is unfair and biased treatment towards Sarawakians, not a time, I see that BN-GPS ministers, be they Sarawak assembly ministers or so called “federal” ministers, have come out to protect Sarawakians. I only bear witness that these ministers help oppress and suppress own people to please the colonial masters.
Time is more or less up for BN-GPS government to step down for good.
Sarawakians have been impoverished by our own government! Adenan Satem had tried to undo the practices which Taib Mahmud had established under the pressure of Sarawakians who had voiced out louder than ever before the rights of Sarawakians. Adenan Satem who succeeded Taib Mahmud did not live long enough to complete his mission.
Abang Johari who has succeeded Adenan Satem has not lived up to the standard to what Sarawakians expect him to do. He sways easily. One minute, he is firm to the principle of integrity and talks about transparency; next minute, he is indulgent in his hard-core habits of kleptocracy with his cronies. Prove me wrong if he is not. One minute, he declares his stand for the rights of Sarawak; next minute he complies himself to the will of colonial masters.
In the time of wide awareness of Sarawakians, he cannot anymore indulge himself in the practices of TaibMahmud at will. He has to will himself to keep up to the demands of Sarawakians. But he falls prey to his own weaknesses. How can Sarawakians tolerate this kind of leadership to fight for the rights of Sarawak?
Knowing that MA63 is voil and null but he still indulges himself in a lot of plays and make-believes with the colonial masters and imperialists so much to the disgust of Sarawakians in general.
Yes, we are scutinising and studying him and BN-GPS government. For 57 years, we just count 33+ years under TaibMahmud, 3+ years of Adenan Satem and Abang Johari from 2017 up to now August 2020. We Sarawakians have become clearer and clearer who should hold 70% of responsibility for the widespread poverty in Sarawak. We can boldly conclude that the BN-GPS government has been done nothing good as far as the road system, public transport, water and electricity, medical services, school buildings, housing rights, job opportunities and infrastructure are concerned. These should be the indexes to grade a government. If you are given A – F to grade BN-GPS, which grade would you give?

Gedong folk enjoy slew of devt projects August 9, 2020 theBorneopost
Gedong folk enjoy slew of devt projects August 9, 2020 theBorneopost
KUCHING: The unwavering support given to Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government and its elected representatives has allowed a slew of development projects being planned for Gedong constituency, says Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.
He said one of major developments planned and being implemented was an embankment project for Kampung Gedong. The first phase (30 metres) costing RM7.4 million had already been completed.
“The second phase with the price tag of RM15 million is underway. Work on the third phase (RM26 million) will begin in September,” he told a press conference in Gedong yesterday.
Awg Tengah added that ‘Anjung Usahawan’ (entrepreneurs’ porch) project costing RM5 million would be built in the (Gedong) constituency. It is a centre for food processing and for conducting workshops and trainings, among others. Site for the project had already been identified.
“The people of Gedong can also expect a sports complex to be built soon, equipped with many facilities such as running track, futsal court and swimming pool. It is expected to be tendered in November.”
“The people of Gedong can also expect a sports complex to be built soon, equipped with many facilities such as running track, futsal court and swimming pool. It is expected to be tendered in November.”
The building of road complete with two bridges is in the design stage. The RM50-million project is expected to be tendered latest by October.
The Second Minister of Urban Development and Resources said the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg was committed in making sure that all households in the constituency would be able to enjoy 24-hour electricity and water supplies.
“I am also aware there is a Rest House being built here, which was supposed to be completed earlier this year but due to the Movement Control Order, it is only 60 per cent completed.
“I have instructed Public Works Department Sarawak to look into the contractor’s capabilities and if it is found that the contractor is not capable of completing the project, then we may need to look for a new contractor to finish it,” he said.
He said all the projects were funded by the state government, and therefore the people should continue to place their trust in the state government to bring change and development to the state, including the rural areas.
Assistant Minister of International Trade and Industry, Industrial Terminal and Entrepreneur Development Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais who is also Gedong assemblyman was among those present at the function.
Mycomments:
The 12th Sarawak election is definitely not too far away now. There are again, one promise after another, Awg Tengah made on behalf of Naroden, whom I guess must have broken too many promises to make anymore.
Of 5 projects promised to be implemented in Gedong, the BN-GPS government has started
(1) an embankment project and only the first phase has been
completed. The second phase of it is underway. The third phase..
(2) The rest house has completed 60%
I am not sure about the quality for these projects to be materialised. I am afraid that BN-GPS has no more time in hand to renew the promises which they used to practise.
The promises made to build
(3) Anjung Usahawan’ (entrepreneurs’ porch),
(4) A sports complex
(5) The building of road complete with two bridges
