YOURSAY | ‘Using taxpayers' money to bribe the people - you can't have it better than this.’
Eagle: This terrible corrupt practice is now being thrown at our rural people. Will our people become so addicted to money that we will sell our soul for it?
One day Umno will do to us what they allegedly did to Sabah, by plastering the electoral rolls with instant citizens out of illegal immigrants from Philippines, Indonesia, even India and Pakistan.
They will win every election. Wake up, Sarawak, before it’s too late.
NNFC: What if BN does not win at all? No money, no development?
Does the DPM realise that the money he pours into the state is the people's money, the people who have voted either of the parties concerned?
Mosquitobrain: Sarawakians, you take RM1 million, I'll pocket RM10 million. Come lend me your ears and support Sarawak BN.
Dont Just Talk: This is as though the money comes from the bank account of DPM Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's grandfather.
These politicians have no shame in dishing out donations as if the money is from their family's savings.
We Are Concerned: The more they win, the more ‘justified’ they are to continue to squeeze whatever is left. The blood of our future generation is in your hands in how you vote.
Anonymous_1421806811: Relying on DPM Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as a replacement for Najib Abdul Razak is like relying on an old pail full of holes. Nothing changes. Money politics and empty promises prevail.
Prudent: Sarawak DAP has already produced documentary evidence that the state has already lost RM530 million in revenue through cheap alienation of land to cronies.
This is just the tip of the iceberg as to the plunder that can be expected if CM Adenan Satem and his ilk are re-elected.
Sarawakians, wake up! Or do you need to see yourself sold into penury, your daughters wearing the hijab before you wake up from your being sedated by the opiate of chicken-feed handouts and buy-outs during the election?
There is nothing too shameful for these Umno goons to do because they worship 'cash-is-king'.
Mojo Jojo: ‘Quid pro quo’ means ‘I scratch your back and you scratch mine’. What do they call this in the West? Oh, bribery.
Hmmmmmmmm: Using taxpayers' money to bribe the people. Indeed, you can't have it better than this.
RR: It is high time controls on political funding are strictly enforced in Malaysia. The political parties should only be financed by government resources based on their membership numbers.
This will restrict corruption in the parties and government. People will then vote for principles and ideology of the parties they choose in the election.
Drngsc: This problem is not only true for Malaysia (that’s no excuse), but also for the whole democratic system.
US President Barack Obama raised funds for his election campaign. After he won, the donors come a-calling. Note that there are more lobbyists in Washington DC than senators and congressmen.
That is partly why presidential candidate Donald Trump is so popular. He funds his own campaign and proudly declares that he is beholden to nobody.
In Peninsular Malaysia, cases of businessmen sleeping with legislators have been carried to even greater heights.
It is blatant, and is partly why the supreme leader is so bold and brazen in the 1MDB affair. He feels that he can get away with anything. He is even prepared to destroy all the institutional checks.
In Sarawak, we have the same, at the moment in a smaller scale. Having rich business tycoons contesting in elections is basically legalising corruption.
Legislators sleeping with businesses is bad. Legislators who are businessmen are even worse.
Ourvotesdecide: This is the end for the ordinary Sarawakians, especially the bumiputera or Sarawak natives.
Will the PBB-led Sarawak government give out more logging licences, licences for planted forests, leases for oil palm plantations in return for the tycoons’ sponsorship of BN campaigns in this state election?
Most of the land affected will be the customary land of the natives. The natives will allegedly be made squatters on their own land.
No wonder, Adenan and the BN government has allegedly refused to recognise the Dayak ‘adat’ or custom of ‘pemakai menoa’ and ‘pulau galau’. --Mkini
