After election, the blame game starts

Image
By Viktor Wong In aftermath of the Sarawak state election which saw a severe defeat of one state BN major component party, the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) and the outstanding gain of DAP and PKR the blame game is about to start. SUPP president Dr George Chan, who himself was defeated by a DAP newcomer is not about giving up that so easy. He fired his first salvo today by blaming his BN state government and Putrajaya for not doing much to address issues and concerns raised by SUPP, particularly of those unjust policies on the Chinese community. If the BN is not doing much for the Chinese community and SUPP, why stay on in the coalition in the first place? If you are really sincere about serving the Chinese community and serious about all those concerns and issues highlighted by SUPP, then quit the BN coalition and fight it out alone or join forces with Pakatan Rakyat. It shows that you love your positions and status more than your concern to your people. Like their counterp...

行动党首晚讲座万人空巷破纪录 从古晋横跨诗巫美里人潮逾七千

砂州选举开打第一天,行动党举办的讲座气势如虹,从古晋、诗巫到美里, 尽是一片人山人海,反应热烈,一举打破了过往砂州人民对政治慢热的印象。 行动党首晚讲座在古晋的人潮高达5千人,在诗巫及美里皆突破1千人, 美里的讲座更成功筹募逾万令吉竞选基金。 眼看民联先声夺人,选举经验丰富的行动党国会领袖林吉祥不禁在 其推特上指出,今晚的人潮已经打破过往砂拉越首晚政治演讲的记录, 是一个好的开端。 一些本地记者表示,这种盛况比起2006年州选的情况还要热烈。 古晋5千群众高呼要“换” 在古晋,行动党选在朋岭区一座商业中 心旁的空地上,举办首晚的政治讲座。 由于旁边恰巧有数个露天美食中心, 现场人潮更是挤得水泄不通。 行动党则在空地周围设置了多个投影屏幕, 以让无法挤进台前的群众,全程跟进 行动党领袖的演讲。 古晋讲座的主讲人以行动党秘书长兼 槟州首长林冠英挂帅,还包括灵北国会 议员潘俭伟、蒲种国会议员哥宾星及 大选备战委员会 文宣组组长丘光耀等多名重炮手, 毫不留情地猛轰国阵。 林冠英更是把砂州选举升级为拉倒首长泰益玛目的“世纪之战”, 并率领群众以华语、马来语及伊班语高呼“换”,掀起全场高潮。 质问人联是否要泰益下台 他强调,就算人联党派出新秀或专业人士出战,也不是选举的焦点, 因为本届州选的焦点应该是泰益应否下台。 “人联党的新人的确是专业人士,一表人才,听起来值得投票给他们。 但是我们要在这里拉刹车柄,我们要问,人联党所谓的新秀是 否支持‘白毛’(泰益的外号)?” “人联党的新秀敢答吗?如果他们答不,就是得罪选民。如果答支持, 得罪‘白毛’就更糟糕。” 他表示,只要泰益一日不下台,就算人联党派出再多的新秀, 都是换汤不换药,“换了汤还是要吃‘白毛’的毒药”。 讥讽泰益第二春不会下台 林冠英在台上讽刺国阵及泰益一针见血, 台下的群众则时而大笑,时而怒骂国阵。 他说,泰益执政长达30年,虽然扬言要在2、3年内下台, 不过才刚新婚的人,如同人生第二春,不可能那么容易下台。 “(人联党主席)陈康南在2006年也是用这招,现在他哪里有下台? 现在还结婚,而且还与‘白毛’一起新婚,两个人走起来一弹一弹, 哪里可能会要下台?” 林冠英促请选民把票投给民联,就算不能改朝换代, 最少也要否决国阵在砂州议会的三分二优势。 陈康南老巢筹获逾万令吉 在美里,行动党直捣陈康南的老巢卑尔骚举...

The Sarawak state election will be held on 16 April. It is time for the people of Sarawak to voice their choice of government for the next 5 years. The DAP hopes to bring change to Sarawak by fighting the rampant abuse of power, cronysim and corruption by BN leaders, who enriched themselves while impoverishing the people over the past 50 years.
