Democracy requires regular change in government
To assure democracy, we need to have a change in government from time to time. This is a natural process in any democratic countries.
This was the basic philosophy of Dr. Lee Yuan Tseh (李遠哲), the first Taiwanese Nobel laureate, in supporting Chen Sui-ben leading to him being elected as the president of Taiwan in 2000. The change in government ended the dictatorship of the Nationalist party that had ruled Taiwan for more than half a century.
We, the people of Sibu, need to follow this philosophy!
Many people later blamed Dr Lee for supporting Chen, but he insisted that he made a significant contribution to democracy in Taiwan by allowing a change in the government.
When a ruling party does not perform, it will be judged by the people through election. This happened to Chen's party as well.
李遠哲還是深深認為2000年的政黨輪替對台灣的民主化的過程中是件很重要的事，也覺得以後台灣政黨輪替的發生將會是個常態，民進黨表現不好，人民也已經用選票說明一切了

Consumption tax
Now it comes ......... the consumption tax
Do we think that those money used to buy votes in the b'U'y-elections is from the pocket of Najib? No, definitely not.
The people will have to pay for the price. We pay for Najib's generous shopping. In order to balance the budget, he needs to get the money from some where - from our pockets.
Consumption tax and higher tax rate would be awaiting for us, for both rich and poor, young and old.

Stupid person praised by low-IQ person
Why is the guru besar of UNIMAS trying to praise about Laila Taib College?
You have to realise that Unimas is one of the worst local universities. Your world ranking is 3441. You are the worst among the major government universities in Malaysia.
Your praise of LTK is like a person of low IQ praising a stupid person. Don't treat us Sibu people as stupid. There is a Chinese saying: When crossing the river, the clay Buddha cannot protect himself. Indeed Unimas needs to first improve itself, and how can you try to save LTK with your current ranking?
You can go and sign a thousand papers of memorandum. What is the purpose of doing so? It is meaningless. By doing so, you cannot become better by default.

Why Alfred Jabu and not Soon Koh?
The politicians are so blinded about democracy and thought they can simply hand-pick their successors. The biggest recent joke being Mahathir picking up sleeping Abdullah that happened to be a political disaster. Tun Rahman picked up his nephew, Soon Kai picked up his cousin, and Robert Lau picked up his cousin......
Now Tun Rahman wanted to name another successor for his nephew. But he definitely named a wrong person. I may as well ask why it is Alfred Jabu and not George Chan or Wong Soon Koh? The reason is very simple. Under current BN structure, only the biggest party can be the decision maker, just like UMNO is dominating the Malaysian politics where MCA and MIC are just for decoration purpose. Yes, SUPP is there only for decoration purpose and served no other purpose. On the other hand, under the PR structure, any competent person can be the chief minister like in Pulau Pinang.
Alfred Jabu, Wong Soon Koh and George Chan are the worst politicians. They stick to the old tradition of securing their positions by praising Taib, suggesting Taib to continue leading the State. They do not advocate for democracy but for dictatorship. They can sell their race for their own benefit. Look at the situation of the whole Iban/Dayak community that is more obvious to us. A very common stupid thing they did was to support Taib as a motion in the State Assembly during the Haze Disaster. Guys, do you still remember the suffering of the people when Taib enjoyed a trip to Canada by twisting the fact? Yes, SUPP was supporting it blindly so that they can secure their position under Taib.
The presence of Taib - Soon Koh combination is the worst for Sibu, yet Taib could not elevate the status of Sibu in 2005. It is not just the Chinese who suffered greatly under Taib. The Malays are under serious threat. We saw pieces after pieces of Malay kampung disappeared from the Sibu map after being converted into commercial properties.
Recently Soon Koh could sell the people's college for 1 ringgit and renamed it Laila Taib College, under the name of Taib Mahmud's late wife. This was just to please Taib! These politicians could do anything to you in order to secure their own position.
That is all they have been doing and they can do. They are just the songbirds for Taib. They are just holding balls, or called 'Hulingpa' in Foochow (or you can pronounce it as 'falling apart' if you do not speak Foochow). So we better wake up now! Rejecting BN is the only way to change the political structure and to eliminate such family politics and dictatorship in Sarawak.

2012? Laila Taib College
2012 is definitely sooner than 2020, the well known Wawasan 2020. But do you think we will get a university in Sibu if supporting BN during this b'U'y election? My answer is NO.
Sibu to become city in 2005 was an empty promise. It was just a slogan to win the elections. Without fulfilling the promise, the Wawasan team members still do not dare to apologise publicly to the citizens of Sibu. Robert Lau has died and we will never hear his word of apology. We have trusted them in the past, and do we still want to be treated like a 3-year old child?
During previous state election, the same tactic was used by a BN candidate in promising the TARC campus in Bintangor. Even a piece of land was cleared with a construction sign board to make thing looked more real. Of course, nothing happened after the BN candidate won the election. So we should be extra-careful with what BN promised.
Najib better declare that Laila Taib College is renamed Laila Taib University now. There is no need to wait until 2012.
We do not see any plan for Laila Taib College to be changed into a university. If with Wong Soon Koh's son continuing to be the CEO, how can you call it a university with the top not having a PeeHD degree? These people are continuing to treat Laila Taib College as a family business. Remember the Chinese saying not to let the fertile water to flow into other people's rice field. There is no plan of hiring the teaching staffs. If it is for 2012, the hiring should have started by now. You don't come and tell us a kindergarten will be named a primary school tomorrow, with the same teachers.
The whole thing is at most to make it a branch of Unimas with the lecturers flying in and out of Sibu everyday? Or to get a few lousy lecturers. Will you then call it a university? Will we send the children to this kind of ochipara university? We already rejected it as a college and people continue to send their children to outside Sibu. With this Wawasan team, there is no way they can run the college properly, if putting own benefit above public interest. They can only deliver something inferior to us.
If Najib cannot declare the status of university in Sibu now, we may as well wait until 2012 and then see if it happens or not. Then we can decide to vote for BN or not. After having learned several lessons in the past, we should not rush to vote for BN.
So the verdict vote for BN should be a NO.

Limbang
Limbang issue is always in the mind of Sarawakians. Was it around 1970's when Datuk James Wong was jailed and rejailed because of his voice in the Limbang issue (or he was accused of trading off Limbang)? He became a free man only after he switched SNAP from the opposition to join the ruling party.
Now we suddenly heard of the undertable deal between Malaysia and Brunei about the oil resources near Limbang. Basically we abandoned the wealth. Abdullah and Najib did it without consulting the parliament. Tengku Razaleigh and Mahathir had smelled it, but it took so long until the whole thing started to surface.
Abdullah and Najib sold Sarawak away. How much more are we going to lose from this undertable deal? Do we still want to put our future on BN?
Perkasa, are you ready to fight with BN and Brunei on this serious problem?

Hantu b'U'y election
It is very very funny with this b'U'y election. This has probably never happened before in our local history.
First of all, a great local politician named his cousin as successor before he passed away. It was not a sudden death and thus he had had a bit of time to lay down the ground for his cousin.
Then the legacy of this deceased politician became a major part of the b'U'y election. The prodigy candidate jumped many grades (sorry, Soon Choon Teck, David Teng, and many others permanent assistant ministers), despite the fact that he graduated from a university with world ranking of 936 - came close to our local u.
In addition, the prime minister came to worship Wong Nai Siong, in order to tell the local Chinese how close he is to this dead man, as a way to b'U'y the Chinese votes with zero ringgit because Wong Nai Siong has been portrayed as a Foochow God by SUPP.
We are not electing politician based on the candidate himself, as he is less well known. He hardly speaks publicly and seems to have limited idea. He rather employed the big brother agents such as Wong Soon Koh to do the promotion for him. He is behind the scene.
We are now told to elect the new politician based on the spirit of the deceased persons. It also depends on how good are his agents. This is like electing hantu.

Liars in the Press Conference
Where is Soon Choon Teck? He no longer appears in the press conference. But I saw a few interesting reports about how SUPP lied to the people.
Daniel Ngien suggested the people to give the young blood a chance, but did these old goodies of SUPP ever give their young people a chance? They gave it only to their cousin.
Soon Koh accused Kit Siang of the father-son combination in DAP. This is exactly what I meant by the family tie in politics. Look at Taib Mahmud and his son, how Taib got the job from Tun Rahman, how Robert Lau wanted to transfer the job to his cousin. and how Soon Koh made his son the CEO of the United College.
Soo Koh accused DAP of cooperating with PAS. But, who is cooperating with Perkasa? Perkasa is worst than PAS, which has not done anything bad since ruling Kelantan. This Soon Koh is slapping at his own face for what he has said.
There are a lot more statements by Soon Koh that did not make sense. For example, he mentioned that throwing in a few million ringgit by the federal government was not because of the b'U'y election. He also accused Pakatan Rakyat for driving the people out of Malaysia. He does not need to tell us in Sibu about this because everyone know the answer.
Soon Koh and his associates are truly liars who wanted to fool the people. It is a big mistake to try to underestimate our mentality. We are now much smarter than before.

explain! why?
Wong Soon Koh, please don't tell us about the 3 million ringgit budget for flood control. We cannot trust you and your team.
Explain, why the following failed:-
. Sibu to become a city in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010,..never
. keep telling us about flood control for several decades, yet there is still flooding
. keep filling the roads and yet the roads are still sinking
. university in Sibu
. more (to be added)
Can you give us more job opportunities? can you guarantee each one of us in Sibu to get a job (in the government or Rimbuan Hijau or KTS)
Why Robert Lau does not speak and Wong Soon Koh keeps campaigning for him? Does the candidate know what to do? Is the candidate incompetent to such an extent?
