Iban akan `tatap’ sokong BN”

Oleh: Kanul Gindol

KUCHING: Meskipun Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang tidak dilantik menjadi Ketua Menteri Sarawak, namun kaum Dayak khususnya Iban, diyakini ‘tatap’ mengundi Barisan Nasional (BN) dalam  pilihan raya negeri yang dijangka tahun depan.

Itulah kesimpulan yang boleh dibuat atas keberanian ketua menteri yang akan bersara Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud mengenepikan Jabu dari jawatan itu sebaliknya memilih iparnya Tan Sri Adenan Satem, sebagai pengganti mengemudikan bumi kenyalang.

Where’s your dignity, Jabu?

KUCHING: While Sarawak Barisan National Dayak leaders and elected representatives ‘praised’ outgoing Chief Minister Taib Mahmud’s choice of successor, netizens from the community are bitter and angry.

Majority of Sarawak’s voters are Dayaks and if their spewings on social media is any measure then Taib has made a wrong move by sidelining his loyalist, longstanding Deputy Chief Minister Alfred Jabu.

KUCHING, Feb 12 — Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud today announced that he will be stepping down as chief minister effective February 28 and would be succeeded by Special Functions Minister at the Chief Minister’s Office and Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) vice-president Tan Sri Adenan Satem.

He said he handed over his resignation letter to Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng today.

KUCHING : Ketika semua perhatian tertumpu kepada tiga, malah empat sekarang, nama pemimpin Islam Sarawak yang diwar-warkan bakal menggantikan Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud sebagai Ketua Menteri Sarawak, tidak ramai tahu bahawa timbalan ketua menteri negeri itu, Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang, mungkin membuat kejutan.

Selain satu-satunya timbalan ketua menteri, Jabu, seorang Iban dan beragama Kristian, juga merupakan timbalan presiden Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) yang begitu lama berkhidmat di bawah Taib yang akan bersara dalam beberapa hari.

Taib’s our ‘chief campaigner’, says opposition

The Barisan Nasional lives on corruption and all PM Najib Tun Razak
can do is to condone such wrong doings, says Sarawak DAP
KUCHING: If Sarawak opposition wins its targeted 16 parliamentary seats in the May 5 general election, it will be due entirely to Chief Minister Taib Mahmud.
Describing Taib as the opposition’s “chief campaigner”, state DAP said “if he does not step down as promised” the likelihood of an opposition win was very high.
In the 2011 state election, allegations of corruption, land grabs and power abuse by Taib and his cronies saw the opposition wrest an unprecedented 15 seats.
Post-election analysis had pointed out a more than 40% swing in voter support for the opposition in the once strong Barisan Nasional frontiers.

Taib: Dishonest MACC doesn’t deserve my cooperation

KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud said that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) does not deserve his cooperation in regard to the exposé made by Global Witness.
“They [MACC] don’t deserve my cooperation because they have been naughty and dishonest with me.
“Let them investigate if they want to victimise me,” Taib said after attending the Barisan Nasional presidential council meeting at the PWTC here today.
Last month, foreign-based NGO Global Witness made a shocking exposé on the alleged corrupt practices involving those linked to Taib pertaining to the sale of native customary land in Sarawak.

Taib: The man who would be king

By Mariam Mokhtar
Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud is in effect, already king. To his right, sits his “arm-candy” wife. All that is missing from the royal portrait are the jewelled crown, the ermine robes, the coat of arms, sceptre and orb.

Spread before the wannabe king and his consort, is his kingdom – Sarawak – which is both blessed and cursed with an abundance of natural resources; blessed because it has the means to benefit the Sarawak people; cursed because the riches serve to benefit only one man – Taib.

‘It’s really unbelievable; Taib’s family controls S’wak’

By Jessica Dacey
Swiss-based Bruno Manser Fund's revelations of
Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud's billion dollar
business empire is not going to let-up in 2012.
After two decades of environmental campaigning for Malaysia’s Penan tribe (in Sarawak) the Bruno Manser Fund (BMF) is stepping up its fight against local political corruption.

BMF remains one of the few non-Malaysian organisations still campaigning on behalf of the Penan, an indigenous people living in some of the world’s most biodiverse forests in Sarawak on the island of Borneo.

Two-thirds of its forests have been destroyed in recent years for logging or to build palm oil plantations.


Is Taib slipping under growing pressure?

How dense can Taib Mahmud be to openly describe his
own people as 'stupid'?
In an act of crazy stupidity, Sarawak’s Chief Minister Taib Mahmud has responded to growing condemnation of his family’s illegitimate wealth by claiming that others in Sarawak are poor because they “do not have it up here” (tapping his head)!

What he meant is that, unlike his own “clever” children, most Sarawakians are too stupid to make money.


Canada alerted to Taib’s ‘dirty’ assets

Swiss-based NGO claims that several top Canadian political leaders
have taken an interest in the complaints about Taib's alleged
money-laundering activities in Canada.
KUALA LUMPUR: Swiss-based NGO, Bruno Manser Fund (BMF), claimed that the Canadian government is taking a keen interest in complaints raised by BMF about Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud’s alleged money-laundering activities in Canada.

The BMF, however, could not confirm if a formal investigation had been initiated on Taib-family-founded Sakto Corporation for the alleged offence, but said Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is well aware of the allegation.

Taib’s White Lies behind the Baram Dam

By Burak S. Sem

Each year, thousands of rural families (especially the dayaks) are forcibly displaced by so call “government development projects”, whether by timber companies, dams, roads, oil palm plantations and quarries. While such projects can bring enormous benefits to society, they also impose costs, which are often borne by its poorest and most marginalized rural folks. As one famous author wrote in his book he points out, “for millions of people around the world—development has cost them their homes, their livelihoods, their health, their rights and even their very lives.” Impoverishment and disempowerment often become their lot, with particularly harsh consequences for women and children.

DAP reveals another land shocker

A company owned by the CM's niece has secured two
parcels of state land at a very low price,
prompting DAP to cry foul.
(Free Malaysia Today) - Sarawak DAP today exposed another shocking allegation on the abuse of power and misappropriation of state assets by the state government.

This time it concerned the alienation of two parcels of state land totalling 16,025 acres to a daughter and a niece of Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud at a cheap price.

One parcel of land with an acreage of 9,983 acres and the other with 6,142 acres at Sungai Anap between Bintulu and Kapit totalling 16,025 acres had been alienated to Ikrar Bumi Sdn Bhd at an alienation price of RM2.9 million, which was payable within five years.

Roughly, it is RM300 per acre.

Just the tip of a "Bigger than you can imagine" iceberg!
 

Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA: WHAT'S NEW? IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE...greed & easy wealth is a Malaysian lifesyle. 30 years of theft but nothing is done. It only points to one very obvious consequence..WE are all DOOMED! Malaysia Boleh!
My class mate from my high school days forwarded this article. He copied to the whole Malaysian opposition party leaders as well as to Berita Harian, Readers Digest and others. With internet today, you can run but cannot hide. Even if you manage to, where can one hide from God. I wonder if he sleeps well every night with the knowledge that the poorest of poor is from his state where he ripped off the natural wealth of the state for his personal gain.  

I'm so proud to be a Malaysian......just look at this....TAIB has made us proud....
Squandered the Country's wealth..-Stole Money from the Rakyat...and made it real big overseas.
Must be one Hell of Businessman....Please pass it on to many Sarawakians, Sabahans and friends from your contact list.
They sure gonna be proud of this Son of Malaysia....

Caught on Video ! Taib Admits Vast Wealth As He Bribes Voters!

Sarawak Report
Taib has not only been caught out bribing voters, but also admitting to his vast wealth!  The illegal act and the confession were both captured in a video recording of an election speech that has now come into the possession of Sarawak Report.  In the recording he tells his audience:
“I’ve got more money than I can ever spend, so I don’t care about money.  All my children now look after [my money], so I am giving you something very nice”
Later he makes a direct offer to bribe the audience of longhouse voters, who he was visiting during the Sibu by-election:
“I am prepared to give you 600 ringgit per [longhouse] door, its normal one, no change.  People have said that’s a lot of money.  I have many friends all over the world. They are in Germany, Japan, China. We can talk, ask them to invest here.”



How Taib Conspired With Malaya In the Colonization Of Sarawak

By Bunga Pakma, Sarawak Report
On 16 September 1963, all the elements were in place for the unfolding of a political story which, whatever its outcome would be, was certain to go through strange and wrenching twists of plot. Some of these elements were clear to see, others hidden. 
 
It must have crossed many observers’ minds that the component states that made up this new “Malaysia” were an odd quartet. Malaya was a patchwork of small states, most of them feudal régimes headed by Malay kinglets. Singapore was a commercial city-state, predominantly Chinese with a strong British cast, but wholly business. Sarawak—Britain’s last pukka colony—had been ruled by a white family for 100 years, and Sabah had emerged from the strange position of being run by a Limited Company.
Each partner-to-be in the Malaysian enterprise joined with vastly differing experiences and expectations. The only thing they had in common was that each territory was home to a bewildering variety of peoples, languages and cultures, and none of these people had ever known anything except authoritarian rule. Upon what did they believe they were to agree?

As we have seen, Malaysia was a marriage of convenience, particularly for the convenience of the Malayan élite and the British. Love had no place in the arrangement, and inevitably members would be fighting as to who “wore the pants” in the foursome. KL took a traditional Islamic view of the federation. KL was the husband, and he took three wives. Singapore disputed KL’s position and demanded to be treated as an equal partner. KL booted Singapore out of Malaysia.

That left Semenanjung and Sabah and Sarawak. KL was hardly as noble as D’Artagnan, and the principle that governed Federal/East M’sian relations was not “One for all and all for one.” The mere notion of treating others as equal partners is as repugnant to the Malay élite as a ham sandwich.

My main source for today’s piece is Michael Leigh’s The Rising Moon: Political Change in Sarawak, published by Sydney University Press 1974. Much has happened since then, but Leigh’s study remains quite fresh. The pattern of Sarawak/Semenanjung relations Leigh demonstrates at the very beginning of Malaysia remains intact today.

Taib Mahmud’s Secret Bomoh – Exclusive!

By Sarawak Report

KUCHING: Sarawak Report can reveal that the aging Chief Minister of Sarawak, Abdul Taib Mahmud, relies on a peronal witchdoctor, or so-called Bomoh, to make all key personal and government decisions! The extraordinary state of affairs, which has remained a carefully guarded secret among his entourage for many years, has now been explained in detail by insiders. “He will always consult the Bomoh before he makes an important decision, like which minister to hire or fire, or which investments to make”, one senior politician has confided. 

A Hari Raya Message For Taib Mahmud of Sarawak!!

Time flies fast. I sent a Raya message last year to you. It’s Raya again. You well?
It is a little malu to see a great man hanging in the air like a monkey – can’t go up (to become Governor) and can’t come down (to enjoy your the rakyat's money).

For the remaining days on earth, you should follow this wise advice, Taib!

1. Pray 20 times a day, 5 to do your duty as a good Muslim, 15 times as repentance to pay for the sins you have committed and all the wrongs and bad deeds you did in the past 30 years to the people of Sarawak . This is your first step to your eternal redemption.

A Hari Raya Message For Taib

Dear Taib,

Time flies fast. I sent a Raya message last year to you. It’s Raya again. You well?

It is a little malu to see a great man hanging in the air like a monkey – can’t go up (to become Governor) and can’t come down (to enjoy your the rakyat's money).

For the remaining days on earth, you should follow this wise advice, Taib!

S’wak Chinese unbowed by Taib’s threat

By Joe Fernandez
ANALYSIS The Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP), in trouble with Chinese voters in particular since 2006, is being told that the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) will be able to form the next state government even without a single seat contribution from it. This is the message going out to the party from Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud who has to call state polls by the middle of next year.

Taib’s message is based on the fact that SUPP will be allocated as usual only 19 of the 71 state seats at stake. The party lost eight seats at the last outing in 2006. The Bumiputera-based Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) will take the lion’s share at 35, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) nine and Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) eight.

The real mood on the Sarawak ground

By Bunga Pakma

Nobody at all was jumping up and down with glee in anticipation of Malaysia Day. This new-fangled holiday was a complete non-starter with my fellow Sarawakians. They regarded it with an indifference so profound that I can’t even call it “sullen”.


Sarawak was as beautiful and fresh as when I left it last. Simply to stroll about our kebun in the chill air at sunrise filled me with joy. We non-Muslims hardly noticed Hari Raya this year, and that struck me as different. Most of the shops in town stayed open and the vegetable market was also open for business, and stocked with jolly red capsicums and other goodies we see only on occasions when people are doing a lot of festive eating.
