You’re right on the fact that since we don’t live in these rural areas, it would not be fair for us to slap our comments on the real plights faced by your people. Again, please accept my apology.

Yes, I’ve been thinking about for some time about your proposal (living in rural areas). Really, if you’ve been living in the urban areas for some time, you do lose touch with what’s the real issues are.

Honestly, I’ve already showed my courage by being different from the majority who voted for BN all these while and yeah I’m poor too, seems hard to secure a job when most of the private companies where I applied jobs aren’t keen to hire me(probably because I’m a bumi, just probably), and not to mention the civil service. Owh why have to work for them? why not start my own business?I’m not a money printing machine, dude. Yeah, I do some menial jobs such as working at fuel station, electronic factories (used to), etc. and now I dun have regular incomes, only enough to cover up my basic needs and this freaking prepaid internet for a month, hoping that one day, from my savings I can start a small business. Hey, I know how being poor is like, so you don’t have to ask me to meditate on your question bcoz I know what’s the price is like..as if I don’t know my VOTE, is my POWER. But what can a dissenting vote do against the majority who say ‘Yes’? I still use it for my well being and see, I’m poor yet I haven’t swallowed pride instead of the ‘bitter pills’..I’m not whining, but that seems to be the trend of ‘democracy’, the majority will always be entertained (win) and the dissenting minority is always subject to discrimination (losers). Yeah, I know how bad UMNO treats us. Do you think that I’m blind and dumb? You don’t have to tell me. Go tell those majority who are still ‘blind’ in the rural area over here, and don’t just throw another cyber verbal diarrhoea as if you don’t have a choice, it stinks dude. Unless you’re like 70 and above, I think you can still make it. You think those rural folks who don’t have internet as mentioned by Storm Raiders can hear you and read your whining here? You think it’s gonna work by you blabbering only?

By the way, yeah, the CM has a RR. So what? you think that we should emulate him, driving around in luxurious car and buy things that we don’t even need? Hey, RR is not my taste bro…it sux. You feel proud if u ever happened to have one? Lame, poor taste.From one point, your curiosity tends to make a dumb person think that you thought that Sarawakians will die if they don’t drive RR. Hey, dun worry, I got your point; Sarawakians should get back what really belongs to them. Thanx dude, but man can’t live on Rolls Royce alone! By the way, since when did you, in particular, have this kind of sudden awakening (which actually triggers my curiosity too) and have this very deep concern about the plight of Sarawakians, while for that all nearly more than 20 freaking years while Sarawak has been under the … regime, you have never been as damn vocal as this? Why? did … reduce the 95% state’s income which is supposed to be channeled to the Fed. Govt.? or the UMNO took most of it and you all are given the leftovers and slowly feel the pinch? While all that while, when most of you had at least enjoyed the comfortable lives and tend to think less about us, but now when that comfort is slowly being taken from you, you start to scare us too of the possibility that our less than comfortable lives might be taken as well? Mmmm..so,probably you too have voted BN into power all that while, until the last GE, when you suddenly had this awakening…well, don’t take it personal, I’m just assuming. See, when you put up that curiosity of yours, some people with poor jugdment would tend to see that you are one of those opportunists who think only about saving your own a… sorry; I have to be honest..no matter how dumb my perception towards you, my bro.

Hey, perhaps you can express your concerns towards the Sarawakians more at Dr.Patau Rubis’ site: http://partistar.wordpress.com/.
He’s my local hero. Feel free to have a look and leave a comment. He’ll never miss to reply to your comments. Let’s stop this bashing party as we’re in the same boat, neither one of us would like to rock the boat, aite? and hey, come, lemme give you a hug. As I mentioned, I’ve no grudge against you, bro. PEACE.

While I agree with your assertion that the Opposition provides mouth services and BN gives subsidies, the Opposition don’t really have a choice do they? Consider this:

The party in power holds the key to the treasury or the purse and it is they who will decides at their whims when and to whom to loosen the purse string. So the BN uses the state money like it its theirs to use as they please (with a lot flowing to their pockets). Remember the wealth and assets of Sarawak belong to Sarawakian, not to BN and the chief minister. So on and off they gives subsidies which is pittances to what they can afford to give, you guys are hooked and thank them for their generosity. Hey the subsidies belong to you guys in the first place and the BN govt is only the custodian.

The opposition are poor and do not hold the treasury’s key, so how to give? Common sense. However if they are in power and behaves like BN then vote them out.

As I said earlier, your vote is your power. Use it wisely for you wellbeing and future.

Also can you see how umno is treating the East Msia BN component parties even when they depend on the Sabah and Sarawak BN to remain in power. ….what about the people that matters, the rakyat of Sabah and Sarawak?

Meditate on this and give yourself an honest answer. Time to show courage my friend.

P.S. Just out of curiosity, I was told that the Chief minister goes around in a Rolls Royce, betul kah?

On what basis we malaysians make our vote? Do we vote simply because i hate person A/party A, so i vote person B/ party B?

Have you guys ever noticed that during every GE, most people/party running for office never made any clear promises that we, as voters can base their performance should they get elected.

We always see/hear in the media whereby each party/or person running for election will say “vote us for the betterment/development of m’sia and her people”. May I ask, development/betterment of what? Development of bigger pockets?

I feel it is ridiculous. They should say during election that they promise a,b,c and d. If the promises they made sounds good (or for whatever reason we base our decision), we vote. Then we can base their performance in 5 years time. If they fail to even fulfill a promise to supply 10 computers to a school for example, it can be considered a failure. We vote them out in the next GE.

So, i feel sad, being a swakian myself hearing about “no choice”. We as voters have the right to ask what promises that the people/party running for office can offer us during elections. NOT AFTER.

PKR and DAP should put their money where their mouth is and start making clear cut, strategised promises instead of “vote us for change”. That promise is simply too vague for me to even vote for them. I’m not implying that im for the other party. But that is what i noticed most of the time in the media circus.

So, if PKR and DAP truly wants to win in Swak, they should start making promises a,b,c until z, where we swakians can truly have a ground/basis/reason for voting them.

Perhaps, the main reason why Swakians are hard to to vote for Opposition over here is that because, majority of them don’t see much difference between BN & Opposition, though I myself voted for Opposition all these while..with PKR and DAP were bickering over the number of seats they wanted to contest in the last GE. So, hey, most of them perceive Opposition as hypocrites, which is quite true..I mean, they only do mouth-business … all the time, but when it comes to service..sadly, only God and they know. You want to convince them to vote you, do your job sincerely, go out there and help as much as you can,not being a show off but SINCERELY…without expecting something in return..trust me, you’ll have the advantage for doing that..and not only talk and see from afar, that when you don’t see the kind of result that you expect, you simply blame and curse them for their ‘foolishness’. So far, from what I have observed, the Opposition over here in Swak is just like BN themselves, they only campaign when it’s near election and they’ll start to raise this and that issues, and again, what’s the difference? BN on the other hand, no matter how crooked they may be, consistenly gives these poor folks helps in terms of subsidies etc. though how small the goodies may be.. and hey, it appears that they have done something good to these folks. Yeah, we do whine over our pathetic life and yeah, some of us start to wonder that if the 95% of the income from their natural resources are not channelled to the Fed. Govt. since we formed Malayisa, we could have a better life; a way better one. But, that has developed some major parts of Malaya all these while, ain’t it? the kind of life and development you enjoy there right now. So, if you suggest that the Swakians may get back, say, 50% of t natural resources income, should the Opposition win, we’ll be damn glad. Fine..but it’s still hard to gain their trusts back, because not untill the last GE that most of the Oppostion voters over there (Malaya) did vocally echo this issue, except only a few apolitical activists that I knew well have been strongly doing the real job here, some got barred … from entering Sarawak, and because of their gutsy deeds that I voted against BN all these while, wihout fail…not because of ‘tin kosong’ empty words…like some of the better, smarter voters like you keep on blabbering about. What if the Opposition that we voted for suddenly behaves exactly like the BN when they come into power, we still feel smart over that choice? So, please don’t talk and insult them like they’re so dumb..I myself will never ever do that to my fellow Sarawakian brothers and sisters who voted the other party.Seriously,think about it..not that I don’t want a change, but in order to gain the Sarawakians trusts and to make that change, stop being like we’re always smarter than other human beings..and try to REALLY, REALLY understand the voters’ sentiments over here. So, no grudge held against you Bro, let’s start make a change by changing our attitudes first. Peace!
