Sarawak’s CM taib Mahmud reportedly asked the people to choose carefully or else the development will stop in Sarawak. Does it mean that only his party can bring development -and that means being at the bottom 4th position as the poorest state in Malaysia, but with the wealthiest group of politicians?He reportedly said that election is not a contest for popularity-does that imply that he concede his own unpopularity currently? But he offer his capacity to bring development to exchange for another mandate to rule. But what he failed to do in the past 30 years-can he be trusted or given another opprtunity to try it for another 5? The Merdeka celebration should be a government function-not to be abused for party campaign-yet it would be unusual if he did not do it. There was a report that the PBB can’t even rally 1000 people for a recent function in the CM’s own constituency in Mukah!
Taib Mahmud: P’raya bukan pesta populariti | ||
|
Rakyat Sarawak tidak seharusnya melihat pilihan raya negeri akan datang sebagai satu pesta ataupun medan untuk menilai populariti, kata Ketua Menterinya Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud hari ini.
Katanya sebarang keputusan yang dibuat rakyat semasa pilihan raya akan datang menjadi penentu kepada hala tuju negeri ini pada masa akan datang.
Pilihan raya, kata beliau bukanlah semata-mata untuk memilih calon yang disukai sahaja kerana wujud perkaitan di antara pilihan rakyat dengan kemajuan yang akan datang ke negeri ini.
“Betul pilihan kita, negeri ini akan terus maju. Salah pilihan kita, negeri ini akan tergendala dalam kemajuan,” katanya semasa berucap pada majlis sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan ke-53 peringkat negeri Sarawak di Stadium Tertutup Miri di Miri.
Yang Dipertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng mengetuai sambutan perayaan itu yang telah menarik kira-kira 5,000 orang di sekitar bandar raya ini.
Penggal Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Sarawak akan tamat dalam bulan Jun tahun depan dan pembubarannya bagi memberi laluan kepada pilihan raya negeri dijangka berlaku pada bila-bila masa dari sekarang.
Taib, yang akan genap 30 tahun menjadi Ketua Menteri Sarawak menjelang Mac tahun depan, berkata pilihan raya akan datang harus dilihat sebagai peluang bagi rakyat biasa untuk mencapai impian masa depan yang lebih baik untuk anak-anak mereka.
“Pastikan orang yang mereka mahu undi berupaya untuk berkhidmat, berupaya untuk melakukan dan membangunkan negara yang boleh membawa kemakmuran kepada anak-anak mereka,” katanya.
Katanya Sarawak masih lagi memerlukan kestabilan politik dan perpaduan rakyat sebagai asas bagi memastikan usahanya mencapai kemajuan lebih tinggi.
“Kalau kita sayangkan negeri ini, pandai-pandailah kita berunding (membuat pilihan),” katanya.

P’raya untuk populari. Dan bukan untuk menipu rakyat. Bukan untuk mencari kekayaan. One day we all will die and be buried 6ft down so goes the saying. So for the politicians / ministers who cheated on the rakyat, robbed the rakyat, bully the rakyat go bloody fly kite or another option, go and hang yrself…
Congrats to Taib Mahmud, he remarried to a young lady. So this time he will be using his dickhead often. All this while his greed overtook his upper head where his old brain is rightly located.
This time he will be using most of his dickhead..
let him rules for another 30 years if he can, God have mercy on him, to be humble, not greedy for power and money.
If not for popularity.. so why married? look at yourself la.. almost die already.. still want to rule. there is better young generation can rule sarawak. maybe the sarawak cannot develop without him? haha his the one whose behind all the problem in Sarawak. all of the senior politician should step down. WE DONT U ANYMORE!! or maybe we should shoot all of them with sniper.. TAIB KUKu besi..
maybe the old generation dont realise that Taib and Mubarak is similar. both ruling 30 years.. however mubarak have been condemn year 2011. WE should Condemn this type of ruling.
so people should USE YOUR HEAD for the coming election.
question? are we democratic nation? so why this people rule until 30 years? not relevant.. waiting him to died.
So, Sarawakians, do vote wisely for this coming state election on 09/04/2011, for a better Sarawak, terima kasih…
It’s a classic line of speech. Not just Taib but anybody who still wants to cling to anything they are holding when time is due will make such remark. But history has proved it that people would always give such speaker many more chances to stay on notwithstanding they know for a fact that they are being cheated.
I foresee that Taib will be given a better mandate in this coming Parliamentary Election. It will be a long time when people finally give him the last straw; but much damage would have been done when that time comes. Of course it will definitely come–nothing lasts forever except God.
