Fundamental issues

With the coming of the God of Wealth, the fundamental issues in Sibu have been buried under the cash. I must say that the cash has shifted the focus of our major concerns.

Infrastructure, flooding, employment and university must be addressed by the Barisan Nasional toward the last stage of the campaign. The ruling party has been promising to solve the problems, but they were never solved. Rather, the problems are becoming more serious.

Long ruling of any political party is going to corrupt the system. Cronies grew bigger and bigger. We can see this clearly by looking at how the major companies (and United College) are tied to the political parties. With the power, one can secure more wealth from the people. There is increasing imbalance between the rich and poor Chinese, not to say between the Chinese and Dayak/Iban. This is not an issue about the race, but the rich and poor of all races.

Let’s see what will be popping up during the last few days of the campaign.

The international organisations should condemn Najib for openly buying votes during the elections. Was it the advice by APCO?

選舉已將進入最後的階段,可是隨著財神爺的到來,本地的一些基本問題卻被埋在金錢底下.這些金錢轉移了大家的視線.

基本設施,水患,就職,大學,....之類的問題還需要等待執政黨的解釋.雖然長年以來執政黨都在答應解決這些問題,可是問題不但都沒有結果,反而變得更深刻.

長久的執政導致政治腐敗,商官勾結變得很嚴重.我們都已經親眼看到大公司跟政黨的勾結,比如聯合學院的問題.當然,有了權力,更方便政治家獲取不當的利益.華人之間,貧富的差距變得越來越大,別說是華人跟友族之間的貧富差距.貧富之差距並不是某一個種族的問題,而是全部的種族間都存在的問題.

現在我們等待著看接下來最後幾天的進展.

國際組織應該公開譴責財神爺Najib在光天化日下買票.難道這都是APCO所提供的建議嗎﹖
