Mile 10th Dilapidated Police Station VS Najib's 5 Billions Warisan Merdeka

Kuching 
Thursday, 21st October 2010


Is it 1Malaysia or 1Rosma Mr Najib?

This morning I went to Mile 10th Police station to accompany my brother in-law to make a police report over his son lost Identity Card.

Mile 10th is one of the safest town located in Kuching.

From outside, the police station look normal, even thought it was just a wooden structure, but a frequent repainting make it looks tidy and clean.

Frontal view, the police station look perfect...clean  and well maintained!

It was a small police station mans by one lady lance-corporal. The corporal on duty look friendly and she received our report diligently. Being the ex-army officer Captain, I know how to address her properly.

Inside also look superb... Clean and tidy

But at the Back..Only God Knows...At anytime the building can collapse

A few minutes after making the report, I asked my brother in-law to continue with the report as I need to ease myself. I went to the toilet which was located at far-end from the office where we made the report.

Another rear View..Only God Knows...At anytime the building can collapse

At the back of the office, I was surprised to see how bad was the condition of the police station. At any time the old wooden building could collapsed. I managed to take few photos of this dilapidated police station.

What is the Cost to Build the New Police Station? RM 5 Billion

Between RM 5 Million and RM 5 Billions

After we had done with the report, we left the police station at about 10.30AM. On my way back, I remembered about Najib Warisan Merdeka building which cost RM 5 billions.

If the government can spend RM 5 billion for purpose of tourism there is no reason for government to spend RM 5 millions for the safety of the policemen and to increase security of the citizen.

To all Malaysians out there, judge for yourself if Najib really go for 1Malaysia or 1Rosma!

Sarawak's Worst Boat Tragedy in The Milleneum But Recieved No Sympathy From Both Sarawak and Malaysia Ministers Especially From Jabu, Masing and William Mawan!

Kuching
Wednesday, 20th October 2010

Tatau Boat Tragedy is the worst River Tragedy in the new millennium. But despite this fact, it has received no Sympathy from Sarawak Ministers especially the Iban Ministers. But Where were all the Ministers?

The survivors and Family Members of the victims of the boat tragedy were left by themselves without  proper assistance or show of face by the Iban's Ministers and PKR potential candidate in the area.

As the saying in Bahasa Malaysia goes : "Berat Mata Memandang Berat Lagi Bahu Memikul or a literal translation of the English idiom ‘putting yourself in another man’s shoes’ , is the best way how to describe the trauma faced by the survivors and the family members of the victims of the boat tragedy in Tatau.

The tragedy which occurred at about 2.00pm on Black Friday the 15th Oct 2010 so far has claimed six (6) lives whereas another five(5) were still missing, is the worst river tragedy in the new millennium. But despite the fact, as of when this article is written, no ministers had came  to Tatau to comfort the survivors or the family members of the passengers taht were confirmed died or still missing.

Where Are Jabu, Mawan  and James Masing

I have been following the news in the newspapers  and national television channels but the shadows of the most vocal Iban's Ministers Tan Sri Jabu, Dato William Mawan  and Dato Seri James Jemut Masing were nowhere to be heard or seen. Tatau is an Iban majority area. No matter who represents the area, being the most seniors Iban's ministers in Taib Cabinet, these three Ministers should be there at least to comfort or to give appropriate assistance to the victims or their family members.

Besides no show faces by the BN ministers, the visit by Paul Raja from PKR who only came to the scene just  to condemn BN government and without offer any assistance had made the matter worse. PKR should cease this opportunity by offering assistance in a form of  financial  or morale support. By doing so, such can change the "pembangkang" or  " perintah" mentality by the voters in Tatau. 

So the Coward Ministers Only Vocal When Their Bosses Under Threat

Based on what happening in Tatau boat tragedy, it is obvious that these three Iban's Ministers Alfred Jabu, William Mawan and James Masing only know how to please their bosses. If in defending their bosses, these three ministers will be all out even to the extend of betraying their own races or dignity.

James Masing when asked about cronyism in Sarawak during the  interviewed with Al-Jazeera on 20th March 2009, had denied such accusation just to please his boss. 

Alfred Jabu  who is in charge of Penan affairs, in September 2009 had  questioned the credibility of the government report on the rape of Penan women by the timber companies. His main intention was to please his boss.

William Mawan so far has not too obvious defending his boss. But the way how he handled the SDPD five saga,  where its five elected representatives comprised of  Sylvester Enteri (state assemblyman for Marudi), Peter Nansian (state assemblyman for Tasik Biru), Rosey Yunus (state assemblywoman for Bekenu), Paulus Gumbang (state assemblyman for Batu Danau) and Dr. Tiki Lafe (MP for Mas Gading) had wanted to leave SPDP and joined PRS. He was stopped from sacking the 5 YBs after being advised not to do so by Taib. If not because of Taib Mahmud, he had already sacked the five YBs.

Jabu, Masing and William Mawan : Their True Colors Prevail

Three Yes Men Who had Never Shown-Up when their People In Tatau Needed Them!

Since Saturday until now, everytime I read the news about the boat tragedy and upon learned that none Iban's Ministers had came forward to comfort or gave morale support to the survivors and family members of the victims who perished in the tragedy, I felt so angry.

I was so angry at Jabu, Mawan and Masing because they are the most senior Iban's ministers in state cabinet. Where were they? For me they are not fit to be our leaders. The three of them should resign voluntarily before being kick out in the coming state election.

The three ministers should learn from their friends in the peninsular. Irrespective of their parties, the YBs in the Peninsular will visit  the victims during the calamity. They will visit the area and give assistance in form of finacial or comfort to the victims.

Their absent from Tatau had openly revealing their true colors..

To the voters in Tatau please be wised when exercising your right .......

Sg Kakus Tatau Boat Tragedy

Kuching, Sarawak
Tuesday, 19th October 2010

Four express boat passengers died while at least 20 were still missing after the boat which ferried around 30 people sank at Sungai Kakus, in Ulu Tatau.
The incident occurred around 2.30pm when the boat was negotiating a bend in the river, near Kelebu timber camp, around 50 kilometres from here.

The boat was said to have rammed onto a steel cable that a tug boat uses to tow a barge. Only seven passengers including the skipper and a crew member managed to save themselves, said Tatau District Police Chief DSP Zaizodin Wan Jaafar.

Three adult bodies were found around 8pm while the body of a five-month old toddler was found floating on the river a few minutes later, he added.

As at 9pm yesterday, the fate of the missing persons was still not known.

The search and rescue team believed the river current might have swept them somewhere else. The current was also swift, said Zaizodin. Zaizodin said the express boat departed Tatau around 1.30pm and was heading towards Hulu Kakus.

A passenger who survived the ordeal Silo Gerenang, 58, said the express boat was stuck on the steel cable.

“The skipper failed to avoid ramming the steel cable which then got tangled up with our boat. Our boat then sank. I was fortunate because I was sitting near the window and managed to escape,” he said.

Silo, who resides at the Police barrack at Nanga Rungan, Kakus regretted that he could not save other passengers because the incident happened too fast.

Ebie Biju, 35, who was sitting at the front part of the boat, believed that the accident could have been avoided.

Hailing from Rumah Jimbai Kakus, he had been shopping at Tatau Town and thanked God for being alive.

“Luckily my other family members were not with me in the boat,” he said.

“I heard other passengers screaming in panic. In a matter of moments, the boat sank,” he recalled.

The crew member, who survived, Sim Chi Liang said he was full of regret because he could not save the life of passengers or those who drifted away.

“I immediately jumped out through the window. I could not do anything,” he said. Apart from the police and civil defence and rescue team, several camp workers were also helping in the search and rescue of passengers.

“Camp workers also rushed to the scene to assist in the search and rescue operation,” said timber manager Kiu Siong Hock.

The work to fully retrieve the express boat started around 6pm. A crane and tug boat were used to pull the boat to the surface.

Although the work to salvage the boat ended around 8.30pm the search and rescue operation will continue today.

When met at Bintulu Hospital, Assistant Minister of Development and Communication DatuK Lee Kim Shin said Sarawak Rivers Board would probe the incident thoroughly.

“No stone will be unturned,” he said.

Lee, also Senadin assemblyman, believed the search and rescue team would do its best to search for the missing persons.

Survivor Recalls On Tragedy

Sylvia, 21, looked like a spent force, but otherwise healthy when met at the hospital bed late yesterday.

She said she was probably in the water for 10 minutes, struggling to keep herself afloat, before some strong hands pulled her out of the water.

Recounting her experience, Sylvia said she travelled alone from Kakus to Tatau for some grocery.

“After having bought all I needed to buy, I took the 1.30pm boat along with about 30 others who included some children.

“I thought nothing of the worst. It was like any other journey I had made along the river.

“In fact, when the accident happened, it was just too fast. All I knew was the boat suddenly tilted over.

“And then there was water and darkness. I fought to keep afloat but the water was sucking me in.

“I went under several times. It was probably 10 minutes and I was frantically trying to get hold of something. My eyes were open but I couldn’t remember seeing anything.

“Then as if by miracle strong hands were pulling me out of the water. I wonder if I had had the strength to keep myself afloat if the rescuers had come a little later.”

Sylvia soon found out that the rescuers were timber camp workers.

Once on dry ground, the first thing a tearful Sylvia spoke of wanting to see her mother.

Jackson Ujik, meanwhile, said he was with his wife and daughter, sitting at the front portion of the boat when he saw the boat going out of control.

“The boat just swayed to one side and the next thing was it simply turned over,” he said, adding that just as it was flipping over he grabbed at the hands of his wife and one-year-old daughter and jumped.

He said that was all he could remember because the next few minutes all he could think of was not to let go the two hands he was holding.

“Then I saw the boat (rescuers’ tugboat) and used all the strength I could muster to reach it. Thank God we’re alive,” Jackson said.

Mahathir Proposed Malaysia to be Rule A Communist Style Like China

Kuching
Tuesday, 19th October 2010

Democracy has failed, the Beijing model is better Proposed Mahathir

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today called democracy a “failed” ideology and held up China’s model of authoritarianism as an alternative “worth studying”.

He said China’s political model — which he termed the “Beijing Consensus” — showed that a nation could develop well even in the absence of freedom, liberty and equality — ideals fundamental to the rival “Washington Consensus”.

“The Beijing Consensus shows that having a non-democratic country can also give a good life for the people,” Dr Mahathir told delegates at the “Creation of the Global Citizen: Media Liberalisation and the New Political Realities” forum organised by Umno here.

“If you find good people to run a country, even dictators can make a country develop and develop very well.”

He pointed out that China’s “correct” application of the Beijing Consensus had allowed the nation of 1.3 billion “very poor” people to become the second richest country in the world.

The former premier also criticised the very premise of democracy, arguing that no issue could achieve total consensus, leading to an electoral split that will promote poor governance.

“Democracy... has failed in many countries,” he said.

“It is not the perfect thing it is touted to be. You find that some of these democracies really cannot work. People cannot make up their minds.

Dr Mahathir cited hung parliaments in Britain and Australia as proof that countries cannot progress when a majority of its voters cannot make up their minds, saying frequent changes in leadership were not good for a nation.

“We see a lot of democracies where leaders change every two years and the country cannot make any progress at all,” he said.

“Even the countries that have made progress find sometimes that democracies hinder the development of the country, make the country unstable and difficult to develop.”

He added that smaller parties roped into ad hoc coalitions to break hung parliaments in democracies will hold the majority hostage to minority demands that were not good for the country as a whole. - Malaysian Insider

Batu Sapi By Election

Kuching
Tuesday, 19th October 2010

Pairin Katingan Assures PBS will retain Chinese Candidate

Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) said the Barisan Nasional is likely to retain a Chinese candidate for the Batu Sapi parliamentary seat, said its president Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting of the party’s supreme council at its headquarters here, he said the list had reached as high as 10 names, but it would be shortened before discussions with Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, who is the director of operations for the Batu Sapi by-election.

Musa, who is also Sabah Barisan chairman, is expected to chair a meeting with the state Barisan component parties Monday at 11am to discuss the Batu Sapi by-election, where PBS will submit the shortlisted names.

“Our last representative (the late Datuk Edmund Chong Ket Wah) was from the Chinese community. Obviously, the candidates were are proposing will be from the Chinese community as well.

“So we will all look at the names together, with recommendations and consultations from other component parties,” said Pairin, who is deputy director of operations for the by-election.

The deputy chief minister also stressed that the final say would be through Barisan consensus, because although the proposed names came from PBS, in the end it would be a Barisan candidate they were talking about.

Asked to comment on the fact that Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and Pakatan Rakyat would each field their own candidates, Pairin said they would let the opposition do their thing as the Barisan would give full focus on the people and secure a bigger majority for the constituency from the last 2008 election.

The late Chong retained the Batu Sapi seat in the last general election with a 3,708 vote-majority against independent candidate Dr Chung Kong Wing.

Replying to questions, Pairin said the names of potential candidates proposed were from the Batu Sapi and Sandakan areas, and that family members of the late Chong were also considered, but stressed that ‘anybody is considered, even those not from the family side’.

Earlier, Pairin had stated that the coordinator for the by-election at the national level would be Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Barisan deputy chairman.

He said PBS had formed the Batu Sapi by-election machinery at the state level and at the respective constituencies.

In SANDAKAN, Sabah DAP chairman Dr Hiew King Chew said the state DAP would discuss with other Pakatan component parties on who to field in the by-election.

“The coalition’s top leadership would have the final say in the matter,” he told reporters at DAP office here. -Bernama

Budget 2011 Means Iban Is Getting Poorer

Kuching
Saturday, 16th October 2010

Yesterday majority of the government officers were out of their office to listen to Najib speech live from parliament to table the 2011 Budget. Almost everyone was anxious to hear for the  announcement of the bonus payment. 

Even though the government servants will not be paid with the bonus but the payment of  the Special Financial Assistance amounting to RM 500 to all the government servants of grade 54 and below inclusive the contract staff and retiree, at least is something in which they can looking forward for and will have great help towards their children education especially during new year school open.

But for the Ibans, just like in the past budgets tabling, they were only anticipated for a worst to come and something which make them poorer.

Out of the 72 highlights of 2011 Budget, none of the highlights will benefits or helping the Iban. Highlight no 16 an increase by 1 percent of service tax (from 5% to 6%) will eventually increase the price of essential goods. This will affect the long house folks badly.

Orang Asli, all this while had been neglected by the government. But after the recent Hulu Selangor by-election which had been won by P Kamalanathan, a Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) . the BN government had started to realise that the Orang Asli was no longer supporting the Barisan Nasional coalition. To win back their supports, in the 2011 Budget, highlight number 70 and 71 specially for Orang Asli had been included.

But what is it for the Iban?  Orang Asli is a minority group in Malaysia. Their votes will have not much impact to Malaysian politic, but the Iban who have few representatives in the parliament is not being given any special attention by Najib.

Will the Budget Benefits the Iban ?

Despite being deprived of everything but the Iban when come election we will still supporting the BN. Let's examine the Budget 2011 which was announced by Najib last Friday, 15th Oct 2010. For instant, out of RM212 billion allocated for the Budget , none is allocated to the Iban compared to the Orang Asli.
If one go to Orang Asli's  kampong or village in Peninsular, one will see  that most if not all of their villages have been connecting with the eleicity and provide with pipe water. This is contrary to what one will see if one visits the Iban long houses. About 90 percents of the Iban longhouses have still not connecting with electricity and road, and the clean water. Many of  Najib supporters said that the budget will move Malaysia into a high income nation. But since none of the part of the Budget  had been allocated for the Iban,  how can it spurns them and make them richer and in par with the rest of the races in Malaysia? 
Since Iban has been excluded or overlooked by Najib in the budget, therefore the 2011 Budget will not benifited the Iban.


What  Iban Should Do


The reason why Iban are still backward compared to the other races in Malaysia is  because we are stubborn, stupid, coward etc. Once known as the most fierce races in Borneo, today Iban has lost everything..power, NCR lands and etc. We are so coward even to the extend of cannot defend our burial ground from being robbed by the others, for examples the incidenes in Sibu and in Kuching recently where the "Pendam  Temuai" was being bulldozed under the nose of Kuching City South.

 How coward we are, even our burial ground being bulldozed we cannot defend it...Helplessly we just do the Miring. If we don't change, one day we will be extinct....

If we don't want to be extinct the Iban should start to fight  like Ibrahim Ali of PERKASA and M. Manoharan of HINDRAF.
Budget 2011 has  shown them all that Iban is not in Najib development road map. Why we should stay on if our presence were not felt by BN Government led by Najib ?


And to all the Iban out there, last but not least...

It is a normal reaction for anybody to look elsewhere when they are not going anywhere ~ Tengku Azlan Abu Bakar

Sarawak Report Reveals Raziah Mahmud's RM880,000,000.000 Bank Loan

Kuching
Sunday, 17th October 2010

90 Percents of Iban long houses needed loan to repair or rebuilt their long houses but their loans were not approved. But because Raziah is Taib's sister, the bank approved her loan.....MACC and Najib still cannot see what is happening or they just pretend???

See the report uncovered by Sarawak Report below :

We can reveal that Malaysia’s RHB Bank has just lent Raziah Mahmud, the Chief Minister’s sister, and her second husband, Robert Geneid a whopping MR 880 million ringgit!

This breath-taking hand-out (the equivalent of US$ 285 million) was discovered by Sarawak Report in the public records of Malaysia’s Companies Commission. It was registered last June as a charge against one of the couple’s privately owned companies, Kumpulan Construction.Kumpulan Construction is registered as having MR1 million share capital, 5% owned by Zaleha Binti Mahmud Hajjah (Taib’s youngest sister) and the rest by Mastim Sdn Bhd, which in turn is jointly owned by Raziah and Robert, an Australian national. The vast size of the loan, particularly in relation to the relatively modest assets recently posted by Kumpulan Construction, raises a number of questions for the couple and the bank , as well as the Chief Minister of Sarawak, who has repeatedly abused his position by granting his sister’s companies lucrative state-funded projects which they are not equiped to carry out.

On what basis was such a loan granted ?

Insiders confirm that Kumpulan construction ”never did an honest day’s work on any of the contracts they secured” and that “everything is sub-contracted out to others, especially to Hock Seng Lee”.

RHB Headquarters, KL

Therefore, Sarawak Report questions on what basis RBH, a public bank owned by Malaysia’s public service pension fund EPF (Employees Provident Fund), advanced a loan of such magnitude to this medium-sized private company? Indeed, could any other equivalent firm leverage what amounts to nearly a sixtieth of the RBH’s entire loan capital?

Despite handling so many public projects, Kumpulan Construction supplies no public information (can’t they afford a website?). However, from the limited details of its accounts provided through the Companies Commission we know that the company made a turnover of MR43 million last year, registering an after tax profit of just under MR4 million. Also, its reserve capital is just over MR4 million plus it has a share capital of MR1 million. Given the company has over-all liabilities of around MR 42 million, matched by its over-all assets, the loan seems inexplicable.

Register of the charge in the Companies Commission entry on Kumpulan Construction

Unless…..

This leaves onlookers to speculate as to whether some massive new project has been awarded to Raziah and her husband, which RBH has been told about, but the rest of us have not?

Of course, if Kumpulan Construction had just won another huge state project that needed financing then any bank would be legitimately entitled to advance the loan because the payment would be secure. But, of course, the money should not be advanced before such a project has been confirmed and made public, because that would be illegal.

Robert Geneid centre - In a crowning irony he and wife 'Rosie' were Guests of Honour at this 2010 Christies 'Green Auction' to 'save the planet', hosted by David Rockefeller in New York. The same Rockefeller is reported to have accepted $100 million of Taib's dirty money into his bank in 1994 - money gained from destroying the Borneo Rainforest. See previous story.

However, in Sarawak Raziah does occupy a very privilaged position, given the notorious corruption of her brother, who in other countries would have long since been investigated, prosecuted and put into jail.

So, it is certainly worth speculating that the Chief Minister may very well have decided to give her just such a mega-contract and the announcement is waiting in the pipeline. If so, she is likely to have been made well aware of it in advance and could have privately informed the bank of the fact.

It would of course be highly illegal for a bank to proceed on a loan on this basis and risk shareholders’ money (in this case public pensioners) on unpublished state contracts, so maybe such speculations are unfounded?

‘Flurry of activity at Kampulan Construction’

Nevertheless, Sarawakians might do well to prepare themselves for some grand announcements. Enquiries by Sarawak Report have brought news of a recent ‘flurry of activity’ going on on the 2nd floor of the Standard Chartered Bank Building in Kuching, which is currently occupied by Kumpulan Construction. This has also been accompanied by rumours that the Chief Minister’s sister has managed to bag around half of all the NKRA projects awarded by the Federal Government to Sarawak!

On 1st February of this year it was announced that the Federal Government would be spending no less than MR3.4 billion on infrastructure in the state under the NKRA (National Key Results Area) scheme. This scheme is designed to help improve the poorest regions of Malaysia and, despite being the richest area in terms of natural resources, Sarawak comes under this category as a result of the years of plunder by the Taib family.

The money, is intended to be spent on upgrading roads and power supplies and improving basic infrastructure in the rural areas, but it would certainly come as no surprise to learn that half of that entire budget is going straight through the hands of the sister of the Chief Minister. It is indeed more than likely that we will eventually also discover that the remainder of the money is being channelled through his other relatives.

Political handout that will benefit nobody?

The Federal Government doubtless decided to invest this MR3.4 billion with a view to influencing the upcoming State Election in BN’s favour. However, by allowing the tenders to go through the corrupt old Chief Minister, politicians should have foreseen the danger of such a gesture spectacularly back-firing, with the money pouring straight into the pockets of the greedy Taibs.

Past loans of MR120 million to Kumpulan have already been satisfied

Past projects for Kumpulan Construction and sister Raziah’s other shell company outfits

There is of course the other possibility that the loan is to facilitate a private contract offered by a genuine business partner (there is always a first time for everything). But who would hire Kumpulan Construction and its handful of staff to manage a major construction project when they have never carried such a thing through before and why hasn’t it been announced?

What is on record is an impressive list of State projects that Taib has handed to his own sister through Kumpulan, which she has then sub-contracted on to actual construction companies for a substantial discount. The list below is a series of public works contracts awarded to Kampulan listed in the CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) public website.

They amount to approximately Mr165 million, however the list is clearly not exhaustive as it does not cover any contracts since 2003. It does not list the Kuching Sewerage System update, which Kampulan sub-contracted to HSL, nor does it include the Senari Deep Sea Port (MR160m) and the outdoor stadium at Petra Jaya (MR105m).

Raziah and Roger’s other family building company Parabena Construction has also received an impressive list of public contracts, amounting to another MR150 million. Yet, under CIDB rules the same Directors are not allowed to register under two separate companies to prevent collusive tendering. Also, such as Robert Geneid, Raziah’s Lebanese-born Australian husband, cannot legally become Directors of a company utilising Bumiputera status.

Showing once again that in Sarawak the rules do not apply to the rulers.

Let's See How Long does it take for the  MACC to spring into action!

Batang Rajang Disaster : Barisan Nasional Warned The Worst Has Yet To Come

Kuching
Tuesday, 12th October 2010

Its God's Wrath: Today God Reminds Barisan Nasional Leaders by Sending the Worst Environmental Catastrophic to Batang Rejang. Next or latest by Mid Of Next Year, God Will Sends them Out Of PETRA JAYA! 

In its 2008 Audit Report, the Auditor General observed that forestry management in Sarawak as "unsatisfactory".

The audit found that the permanent forest reserves had not been replaced while some proposed forest reserves had not yet been gazetted. There was also no compulsory requirement for all logging license holders to obtain approved environment impact assessment reports before proceeding. Annual cut rates had been exceeded, if all forests were taken into account.

It noted that poor enforcement and monitoring had led to illegal logging and contributed to environmental degradation, especially river pollution, erosion, landslides, mud deposits and floods.

But instead of taking positive action, Sarawak's Second Minister of Planning and Resource Management Awang Tengah Ali Hassan (the First Minister is long-serving Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud) expressed unhappiness with the report. He said it did not reflect the overall situation as the auditors made random conclusions about the long-term management of the state's forests.

"By taking the feedback of the Sarawak Forestry Department, I believe a more balanced and accurate perspective (on the state's forest management) will be registered," he was reported as saying by national news agency Bernama.

Awang Tengah further said that the auditor-general's department did not have the forestry management expertise, and information by the state forestry department was not taken into account in the audit report. He said the auditor-general had written to him on Oct. 29, 2009, and had agreed to take into account feedback from the forestry department., thus no action had been taken by the state to correct the observation made by the Auditor General Department.

God's Wrath

Environmental Disaster

Awang Tengah can cheat the people but not God.

About two years later. on Friday, 8th October 2010, Batang Rajang was blocked by debris for as long as 50km stretch. Batang Rejang the only mean of transportation between Kapit and Sibu was totally cut-off from the outside world. The situation had not only affected the life of the longhouse folks who live along the river  but also badly affected the business of the timber tycoons in Sibu. According to  the reliable sources, many of the timber tycoon had lost their logs in the disaster

For what had happened in  Batang Rejang, I strongly believed that they were wrath from God Almighty, punishment for the Ibans in Batang Rejang for blindly supporting Barisan Nasional, to the timber tycoons for ransacking the forest in Sarawak particularly in Baleh Kapit indiscriminately, and to the Barisan Nasional politicians especially James Masing and Billy Abit Joo for abetting Taib Mahmud in giving away the timber licenses to the Timber Tycoons. 

James Masing can point all of his  fingers to every timber tycoons in Sarawak but the bottom line is, Kapit is  under his constituency therefore his responsibilities. To James Masing, Bukittunggal has this to say ;

"Please close your big mouth because the longer and wider you open it, the more bad things and stinks will come of it" , and  STOP finger pointing, as finger pointing means, while one finger is pointing to others, the other three fingers are pointing at you!" .

Rahimi Betrayal of Anwar - Malaysia's Version of the Assassination of Julius Caesar ?

Kuching
Thursday, 7th October 2010

In year 44 BC Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of senators led by Brutus one of his admirer. For what had happened to Anwar whereby his most closest allies Saiful and Rahimi, and the politician that he trusted Zaid had betrayed him, will become Malaysia version of Julius Caesar?

In a move seen as aimed at heading off suspicion that he is behind a group that disrupted a press conference called by a former aide of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, PKR FT chief Zaid Ibrahim has denied ever meeting the aide Rahimi Osman.

“There are lots of stories, including me being behind Rahimi’s revelations. I have never met Rahimi. The first time I saw him was on television yesterday,” Malaysian Insider reported Zaid as saying.

“I am a new member; my loyalty has not been tested; I am a traitor, a Trojan horse. These are all lies.”

Reneging of statutory declarations 3 years after signing

The 25-year Rahimi had a day ago called a press conference to announce that he was coerced by two PKR lawyers - Latheefa Koya and Saiful Izham Ramli - to sign two statutory declarations on June 28, 2008 that implicated Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor.

 Latheefa and Saiful have denied coercing Rahimi and will sue him for criminal defamation unless he retracted his statement.

But despite the sensationalism of Rahimi's accusation, it wasn't him who caused the greater negative publicity for Anwar and PKR on Wednesday - especially since Najib himself has already admitted to having met the sodomy complainant Saiful Bukhari Azlan a day before he lodged the police report Anwar.

Who are these so-called defenders of Anwar

The incident that created the greater confusion and chaos was a group of 6 men, who claimed to be PKR supporters. According to Malaysiakini, the group was led by K Sureshkumar and M Jayabalan. They created a ruckus and claimed to be "defending Anwar".

"The talk in PKR is about this group. You see for Rahimi - who are the people behind his move will become clear soon enough. It can be those connected to Najib as well as to the PKR Trojan horses. This is why Umno plants moles in PKR in the first place," a party worker told Malaysia Chronicle.

"But at the moment, the focus of attention is about this rowdy group. How come they knew about Rahimi's intention? Who told them, how did they know about the press conference, what time and where it would be held. Why didn't they consult the party at all. It is so strange, why did they do what they did? This is where some of the allegations that Zaid mentioned have been made."

Zaid joined PKR in 2009 after leaving Umno. He was courted and personally welcomed by Anwar. But of late Zaid has been attacking PKR, his main rival for the deputy presidency Azmin Ali and even Anwar himself.

Many PKR members believe he and his cohorts may soon exit the party but perhaps after further commotion. Zaid's close associates in PKR include Jeffrey Kitingan, Soh Chee Wen, Loh Gwo Burne, S Manikavasagam and N Gobalakrishnan.
