Adakah pilihanraya ini adalah pilihanraya terakhir parti-parti Sarawak???

Umno supporter said in "Manifesto: Which one is better - BN or PR?" :  All of us, including our brothers mca, gerakan and ppp, must activate our machineries now to gempur pakatan sebaik saja depa diisytiharkan menang election ni. 

buat masa ni, keadaan di sarawak tak menunjukkan pbb and other parties dalam bn can win the election. 

pbb, prs dan spdp tak dapat nak lawan pkr dan pas. 

sup pulak tak de teloq nak defeat dap. 

BN will only have smooth ride to victories in 20 seats!!!

N1 Opar - SNAP has a fighting chance against the BN candidate.

N2 Tasik Biru - It would be a very embarrassing for the BN candidate to lose but it seems that a very slim majority in favour of the incumbent is in order

Larry Sng and his future

by JJ

KUCHING: The future of the ‘former’ president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) is a ‘popular’ subject among many political pundits in the state. 

Their strong interest in the former president is understandable – the state election is just around the corner and to-date there he is still party-less with not even one multi-racial based party in the State Barisan Nasional (BN) is interested in him. 

As it is now, the current PRS president Dato Sri James Jemut Masing is certainly the happiest among the political adversaries of the ‘former’ president. 

He is glad that no political parties in the State Barisan Nasional (BN) are to open their doors to his former rival in PRS. 

NEWS FLASH - Larry to square off with Philimon

YB Larry Sng Wei Shien is now party-less after being kicked out from PRS after he failed in his attempt to wrest the party from Dato Sri Dr. James Jemut Masing.

Oleh Thun Diwan

SIBU: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) telah mula menggerakkan langkah sebagai usaha awal untuk mencabar keangkuhan Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) di kawasan pilihanraya Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Kakus.

Parti pembangkang itu terus yakin apabila mendapat tiupan semangat dari pengundi-pengundi di kawasan itu yang inginkan perubahan, ekoran sokongan kepada wakil mereka sekarang semakin pudar.

Pengundi di kawasan itu turut menyuarakan pandangan supaya wakil rakyat mereka sekarang ditukar kerana prestasinya semakin merosot, ditambah pula dengan sikap lupa dirinya yang semakin menebal.

PBB, PRS dan SPDP tidak sehaluan di Ngemah

Oleh Thun Diwan

MUKAH: Tindakan beberapa komponen parti dalam Barisan Nasional (BN) untuk mendapatkan hak ke atas Kerusi Dewan Undangan Nengeri Ngemah secara senyap-senyap, dilihat sebagai pembuka laluan mudah kepada Parti Cinta Malaysia untuk terus mempertahankan kerusi itu pada pilihan raya yang akan datang.

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu Sarawak (PBB) dikatakan telah mula bergerak dan memperkenalkan diri di kawasan DUN itu sejak beberapa bulan lalu.

Parti itu secara diam-diam turut memperkenalkan nama seseorang yang dikatakan bakal calon BN pada pilihan itu kelak.

CALLS TO RECOGNISE CHINESE AS NATIVES

Voon Lee Shan - A caring Wakil Rakyat

by Sebanaku Sarawak

KUCHING: Batu Lintang assemblyman Voon Lee Shan had surprised many Malays and Dayaks assemblymen on last Friday during the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting.

Not even one the indigenous assemblymen was heard making any sound when Lee Shan was reading his text speech urging the state government to recognise the native status of the Chinese, Eurasians, Indians, et cetera which was conferred to them by the Rajah Brooke.

If a pin was dropped on the floor, all could have heard it!

JAMES MASING IS PLAYING WITH FIRE

by Sebanaku Sarawak

KUCHING: Is Dayakism on the rise? Again?

Most of us have seen the days when Dayakism was at its peak with leaders like (to name a few) Dato Sri James Jemut Masing, Tan Sri Dr Leo Moggie, Dato Sri Daniel Tajem, Gabriel Adit and Stanley Ajang Batok were hopping from one long house to another promoting Dayakism.

And some of us might have heard stories of James Masing who declared that he was drinking the blood of the Chinese when he was actually taking a syrup.

The situation was tense at that time with many Dayaks openly showed their support to PBDS which was at the driving seat championing the rights of the Dayaks.

And fast forward to the present days, James Masing has become the president of a young party which is known as Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS).

When he thought that he was in total command of the party, few Dayak leaders had decided to turn their back on him and tried to help a Chinese to stage a revolt to snatch the top leadership post in the party from him.

James Masing, who is a veteren fighter, didn't give up and after many rounds of fights, he was finally legally being recognised as the president of the party.

The war is over but not the hatred for being stabbed from behind by the young Chinese who was supported by James Masing's own race.

And now he has made known to every body of this plan to get rid of the very Chinese who has betrayed him.

To do that, he is fanning the fire of Dayakism inside his party so that no Dayaks would revolt against him when he finally decided to name the replacement for the young Chinese YB.

He knows that it is not easy to unroot the young Chinese due to the fact that the latter's family is deeply entrenched in the place where they have been staying for many generations.

There is a strong possibility that the young Chinese man's big family would not give an easy way to James Masing to get rid of him.

It is going to be another nasty fight between two groups of Dayaks who are led by a Dayak and a Chinese.

The Dayakism could be a lethal weapon for James Masing to kill his Chinese opponent but if he is not careful, he might burns his own two hands.

It is easy to stoke anger against another race to achieve one's political interest but whether the strong racial sentiment later can be easily managed, it is another issue.

Hence, it is a very dangerous game being played by James Masing who could tear the fabrics of the multi-racial society in the state.

Hopefully, James Masing knows that he is doing ...

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, SAID JAMES MASING

SIBU: It does not matter who wins the Sibu parliamentary by-election - be it SUPP or DAP, the results would be the same, i.e. the Bumiputera would continue to be sidelined.

This is what most of the Bumiputera in Sibu believe.

It has happened for so many years and regardless of what are being said by the SUPP and DAP leaders during the campaign, nothing would happen after by-election is over.

PPP sends letter to join the state BN

by Sebanaku Sarawak

KUCHING: Rumour mills are working overtime now as it is said that People's Progressive Party (PPP) has submitted a letter to the state BN chairman Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud requesting for an admission into the ruling coalition.

It is also said that in the letter, the party has expressed its desire to help the state BN in the Sibu election.

It is most likely that Taib will just keep quiet about the letter as if he never saw the letter - as he did in the past whenever he received letters from the party.
