Indonesian Maid Raped: Rais Yatim Name Implicated

Kuching
Friday, 31st December 2010

Today is the last day for year 2010. Just like all Malaysians, I too would like to make a Wish.

Different from last year, this year I have three wishes to make. My first wish is for Pakatan Rakyat to wrest power from non-performing and corrupted Barisan Nasional in Sarawak. For the past 47 years under BN rules (and or Taib Mahmud Rules), Sarawak has became the second most non-developed state in Malaysia ,infront of Sabah another East Malaysia state.

If it is true as alleged, he should be prosecuted in Court. No Cover-up should be allowed. And If the allegation is not true, Rais Yatim should come forward and defend himself

Secondly, I would like to make a wish for Rais Yatim the senior Cabinet Minster and also an UMNO member to be prosecuted in court for allegedly raping his Indonesian maid in 2007. Hopefully with Rais prosecution will mend Malaysia-Indonesia bilateral relationships.

My third wish....I keep it by myself....Its between me and God!

Fort Alice Sri Aman In Sorry State: Where Are All the BN's YBs From Simanggang ?

Kuching
Friday, 31st December 2010

Happy Success Holiday and A Happy New Year to All Malaysians. Today I am going to write about Fort Alice one of the historical places, a legacy of James Brooke ruled in Sarawak.

I am from Simanggang ( so can be called Bujang Simanggang) but my opportunity to visit Fort Alice only came last Christmas . Before this, the Fort Alice was something that I only heard and seen but never set foot on it.

What is so important about Fort Alice ? Fort Alice was built in 1864 during the reign of Charles Brooke the second Rajah of Sarawak. It was named after Rani Margaret.

It was built to counter the threats from Iban Skrang. This is a bottleneck at Batang Lupar River and one of the outposts is located directly above this river bottleneck. The Ibans who traveled down with their longboats, were easy pickings for the British cannons, who managed to shoot most of them down from this Fort Alice vantage point.

But now, based on my own observation, the fort is in sorry state. No effort has been made by Sarawak government to restore the delipidated fort Alice.

What are the YBs Been Doing : Franchis Harden, Mong Dagang, Masir Kujat etc ?

There are so many YBs in Sri Aman but none of them doing anything to restore Fort Alice. My guessing and the only reason probably because the amount of perks that they are going to get is not enough to share among them. If not why none of them ever  request the  funds to restore the fort?

For the benefits of visitors to Bukittunggal.com, I would like to share the photo of the delipidated Fort Alice Sri Aman, taken on 25th December 2010.
