Anwar Confident Of Uniting Opposition Parties In Sabah, Sarawak at Anwar Ibrahim

from Bernama.com

KOTA KINABALU, Nov 21 (Bernama) — Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is confident of uniting the main political parties in Sabah and Sarawak, which are in the opposition front, to field a single candidate against the Barisan Nasional (BN) in all constituencies in the next general election.

He said such a formula, mooted by the PKR, DAP and PAS in peninsular Malaysia, had proven to be highly successful to the opposition front in the last general election on March 8.

“In Sabah and Sarawak, there were candidates (from the opposition front) who were contesting against one another that resulted in a split in the votes for the opposition…this is what we want to avoid,” he told reporters after opening a service centre for the Kota Kinabalu constituency in Jalan Damai, Luyang, near here Friday.

Asked whether he would invite the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), which left the BN recently, to join the Pakatan Rakyat, Anwar said this was being done and confirmed that he had met with SAPP president Datuk Yong Teck Lee on today.

On preparations for the by-election for the Pensiangan parliamentary constituency, Anwar said the PKR would definitely field a candidate if a by-election were to be held for the constituency.

DSAI sebagai ketua pembangkang, gerak geri DSAI sentiasa diekori sb-sb Bn. Mereka akan bertindak dengan apa cara sekali pun, demi mempertahan kepala pemerintah penyamun wang rakyat. Olih itu DSAI kena sentiasa awas dengan sb-sb yang mengekori. Cuba kita nilai kerja buat kita hari ini, sejauh mana kita bolih bertahan dengan tektik kotor media bn yang menyerang atas ke bawah, kiri ke kanan. DSAI kena lihat dan berbincang dengan kawan-kawan dalam pakatan rakyat bentuk tindakan yang perlu dilakukan jika diserang sebegini rupa. Apa kah DSAI menyedari bahawa orang-orang UMNO sekarang membebeh (Cakap kedah, bermaksud senyum sinis) mulut saja, bahawa kenyataan DSAI hanya lah tin kosong saja.Sebagai penyokong dari zaman reformasi lagi, saya masih yakin DSAI bolih lakukan dengan sebaik mungkin. Malang nya cabaran demi cabaran dari pak lah, dari najib, dilihat DSAI masih lagi kadang kala menyepikan diri. Dengan ini dikalangan penykokong-penyokong muda yang berdarah panas, merasa kecewa dengan cara perancangan yang dibuat.Berbagai cerita kedai kopi didengar, ada yang mengatakan tak lama lagi cuma tunggu mp-mp pas saja, ada yang menyatakan agong nak kepastian bahawa mp-mp yang nak melompat itu disyaratkan membuat surat perakuan sumpah didepan hakim lah, ada yang menyatakan mp-mp yang nak melompat tu ramai dari kalangan non muslim lah. Berbagai-bagai cerita sensasi yang ditonjolkan, namun hasilnya dan perkembangannya belum jadi kenyataan lagi. Sekarang DSAI beralih angin kesabah dan serawak pula, keyakinan disana nampaknya!, tetapi apa jadi dengan kawan-kawan dikalangan UMNO, MCA, MIC, Gerakan dan PPP disemenanjong?, apakah mereka tak makan pujukan?. Ini lah permasaalahan yang timbul sekarang. Apakah DSAI tidak berani untuk menggerak gempakan keadaan sekarang?. Situasi sekarang UMNO sedang bergolak, ada yang suka, ada yang duka, ada yang jadi muflis, ada yang kena pecat, ada yang dipinggirkan, bermakna sekarang ini ramai yang kecewa dengan UMNO. Blog-blog menyatakan UMNO akan karam, sejauh mana ianya karam?, kita mesti memastikan ianya betul-betul karam. Sekarang kita lihat, bagaimana sistem kehakiman dikuasai sepenohnya, kewangan dimonopoli sepenuhnya, keselamatan dikuasai sepenohnya, SPR dikuasai sepenohnya, apakah mungkin DSAI seorang bolih mengatasinya. Bagi kita, dari kumpulan grass root, amat mengharap, mp-mp pakatan rakyat jangan hanya melalak jadi hero dalam dewan rakyat saja, tapi perlu ambil langkah yang drastik bagi melakukan perubahan. Cuba renong semasak-masak nya cara tindakan yang urgent untuk membawa MALAYSIA BARU!

Datuk Seri,

Your idea to steengthen the opposition makes sense but I am still doubt of your position in generate the Dayak who is being backward and discriminated by Melanau Dynasty, Taib Wealth Corruption, Chinese Economic Monopolism, Malaya Colonialism and Dayak Pelanduk. They try to change the History in Sarawak such as NCR. For instance, in Lubok Antu District in 1980s, Iban land were bought 150 Ringgit per aker. 300 Millions Ringgit project award to Taib family. 90% of land in Sarawak main town owned by Chinese Economic Monopolisn. CM, Governor, Federal Minister and many high post in Sarawak given to Malanau Dynasty since 1960s till now. Sarawak oil royalty 95% given to Malaya Colonialism and yet Sarawak development especially road to Dayak area is 40 yrs behind event worst than poor country like Vietnam and Indonesia. Dayak Pelanduk in the BN being used to take Dayak Forest, Dayak land. This is a few of discrimination out of thousand I can mark for you.

Until now, there is no one I can belive to fight against these discrimination by Melanau Dynasty, Taib Wealth Corruption, Chinese Economic Monopolism, Malaya Colonalism and Dayak Pelanduk. I feel that this discrimination shall redirected to United Nation attention. Only that my hope from you.

G. Barling.

DSAI,

Your rejection on my first comment on Melanau Dynasty, Taib Wealth Corruption, Chinese Economic Monopolism, Malaya Colonialism and Dayak Pelanduk in Sarawak is sign of your insincereity toward Dayak future to me. I do not have any comment anymore. But by sure no body can stop person like me to fight against the Dayak discrimination. Maybe MSAI part of them in the past, present and future.

What G.Barling mentioned is 100% true on the Dayak Community. Dayak in the rural areas are threaten not to complain or risk isolated from given “Wang Pembangunan” or other form of Development Projects. This wang pembangunan can be in term of Dividend from Oil palm etc..Only those very close supporters (kuncu-kuncu yang berkerja /berkempen di dalam pilihanraya dan keluarga terdekat ahli BN) will be given more dividend (walaupun berpuluh ekar tanah digunakan untuk skim kelapa sawit). Alasan diberi olih pegawai Salcra ialah…kurangnya hasil atau kurang pemungut buah dikawasan tersebut dsbnya…Sebagai contoh untuk tanah sebanyak 10 ekar hasil yang diberikan ialah RM96.00 untuk dividen 3 tahun!!!!!Tapi dalam media TKM menyatakan Salcra memberikan pulangan hasil lumayan seperti baru-baru ini mengumumkan dividen RM50 juta akan dikeluarkan dalam masa terdekat ini.RM50 juta untuk siapa? Siapa yang dapat dividen tersebut….faham2 lah.Jadi ada procedure tertebtu untuk membahagikan dividen tersebut…
DSAI, UMNO would not dare to interfere in Sarawak or risk being not supported at BN level (based on numbers of Parlimentary seat won by Sarawak)
Our only hope is PKR and you DSAI…Please do something
