It is now a well worn out cliché that East Malaysia is BN’s safe deposit, not gaining any interest but just kept safe in a strongroom. Sabah and Sarawak are the two states with an abundance of rare resources but shackled by poverty. I have had my fair share of campaigning in those two states to know that their time will come when they will realize that they cannot be just KEPT to be exploited and abused. Maybe this time around the people of Sabah and Sarawak are realizing that enough is enough, extricate, let go and move on. Then they will realize that they are not the people BN thought they were, but BETTER! They will finally be aware that there is a difference between giving up and knowing that they have had ENOUGH!
Have our rakyat in East Malaysia come to this start truth that it is because they are ABOVE that BN wants them DOWN, save and sound? Let me put it another way: If people are trying to bring you DOWN it only means you are ABOVE them!
Trust, somebody said, is like paper. Once crumpled, it can’t be perfect. Haven’t they been crumpled enough? Will Sabahans and Sarawakians continue to trust BN?
I have always told my students (if they can remember) and participants at seminars I facilitated over the years: If your dreams don’t scare you, they are not BIG enough.
I leave it to our people in these two states to dream BIG or forever be locked up in the strong room….only to be used or abused!....are they brave enough to dream big and will they follow these two who are saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
An economist at Morgan Stanley in Singapore said that the Malaysia might have lost as much as US$100billion since the early 1980s to corruption (=RM300billion = 300,000million).Some of the Wastages & losses: Perwaja RM10bil. Forex fiasco early 90s RM30bil. Maminco scandal RM1.6bil. Bank Bumiputra Scandal RM10bil. STAR-LRT bailout RM3.25bil. RM38.5bil compensation to highway companies. PSC Dockyard wasted RM6.7bil. Submarines wasted RM4.1bil. Putra transport system, cost RM4.48bil. Maminco scandal RM1.6bil. PKFZ 12bil. Bank Islam RM700mil. M.V. Agusta & Proton lost RM348mil.

ReplyDeleteRM200 million for your PM’s new plane. RM3 mil for PM & Rosmah's recent trip but official plane also landed in Milan & Dubai -the capitals of super-luxury goods. Mahathir’s sons are directors of 200 companies and drive some of the most expensive cars in the world? eg the Ferrari Enzo & the RM5.5million Bugatti Veyron…Sarawak’s Taib 31 yrs in power, now a multi-billionaire, his daughter in law’s divorce claim alone is RM400million ….. Hell is awaiting ! Many men in the street can’t even buy a car, let alone a house ! natives in Sarawak had their land grabbed from them, many don’t even have electricity & good drinking water.
ReplyDeleteForeigners are predicting the fall of BN/UMNO/PBB, & ascendance of PR/PKR/DAP/PAS. Corruption is a crime. We urge all cronies, TanSris, Datuks, YBs to heed your conscience and dignity and withdraw support for the criminals now. Hopefully you’ll be granted amnesty from prosecution. Twitter quote: ‘Mubarak cried and resisted leaving the helicopter that took him to prison.’ Let this, Gaddaffi & Saddam etc be a warning to others. Jumping ships and a domino effect has started! Pundits expect this to set in motion a domino effect as people fled the decaying BN, helping to pave the way for the country's first regime change in 55 years… God is wonderful and BN is crumbling like Idi Amin, Suharto, Marcos, Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi & Assad in Syria.
ReplyDeleteCan you tolerate another day an incumbent Gov’t BN whose gratitude to you for electing them is: Manipulating, gerrymandering, hoodwinking, controlling media and freedom, brutality, promoting racism, appointing & feeding cronies, massive purchases & projects with mulit-million kickbacks; plundering and mis-managed losses estimated to surpass US$100billion. US$100 bil is 100,000 mil US$. All for 55 ys? Not another hour! Vote them out!
