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?
