Comment on Nearing the end, Umno behaves strangely by Gai,Bau

I think the open style harassment by UMNO sponsored bad persons has a purpose in mind. It is aimed at creating a situation of chaos (they will increase the frequency and severity of it to reach a threshold point when chaos will reign). Then no elections will be held. Emergency might be declared under the guise of so-called “global economic uncertainty”. The when comes April 2013 when Parliament’s term comes to an end PM Najib will rule by using the power of the Agong with the consent of the Rulers. Political activities will be curtailed. In this I can see another May 13 of 1969 re-enactment in the making. The need for this on the part of PM Najib and even exPM Mahathir is pretty obvious: to protect from being exposed of all those things done which were not done transparently and which include Altantuya murder trial, Teh Beng Hock and the poor custom officer that felled down from the MACC building, MAS and Port Klang scandals, and of course the NFC-Cow-Condo current fantastic case. And I believe the recent BRIM$500. 00 payment has not been seen to be able to get the people to agree with what BN has wanted them to agree with, that is, that BN is rakyat friendly. The people at large and this include those who have received the BRIM that the $500. 00 per person means nothing compared with the losses by MAS of $8 billion, Port Klang fiasco of $12 billion, and the fact that now our national’s debt has soared to almost $500 billion. And that BN is not rakyat friendly despite the slogan of “People First, Performance Now”

The people of Sarawak and Sabah and Kelantan, on the other hand, are lamenting the loss of their oil revenue and the fact that the development grants given are too insignificant compared to the massive earnings from exploitation of oil and gas from their shores. And worse Petronas itself now apparently has no money despite it has been operating and pumping oil since 1976 Petronas Act came into being. And despite that it has been paying mere 5 percent royalty to Sabah and Sarawak. And that has been denied to Kelantan.

The people are also lamenting that even the 5 percent royalties to Sarawak they don’t see that monies translated into major development in rural areas. Where have the monies gone to? The poor rural roads, and the until today merely in the road to Kapit and Belaga and beyond has remain a dream only. The people are still relying on ferry services from/to Sibu and by logging roads to the interior beyond Kapit. That certainly does not testify any positively that the 5 percent oil royalties have been wisely spent or at all.

On the other hand when we should have the 5 percent oil royalties to spend on development our timber resources, once Sarawak’s pride, is all but gone. This timber extraction has been claimed as being necessary for generating funds for development. In fact there is hardly any development to commensurate with the rapid losses of timber. We have lost much on this front as well. And the people in general are not happy, they are angry. The UMNO/BN knows about the people’s feelings alright.

So with knowledge of the peoples are angry as being caused by all those losses which are indication of poor governance on the part of BN leaders, all these in turn are creating uncertainty in the mind of UMNO/BN over whether they could win the coming GE13. I think they are now rehearsing a Plan-B by deploying those thugs/gangsters at ceramahs of PR as a result of it.

However the people of this country should not be deterred but keep faith that ultimately truth will prevail. It is said in the Bible that “anyone shall not be let free until he has paid the last farthing”, and that what has been kept under lid and known between the mere few will be made known to all by trumpets blowing from the rooftops. I think too that some leaders of this nation have been playing gods unto themselves because all this while BN has had it absolutely to themselves made possible by BN has had two-third majority in Parliament and in all States for far too long. They look upon the citizens as mere their subjects not worthy of being listened to or consulted. All of these is wrong and those who are guilty of that will pay for it.

Meantime the people should pray to the Almighty, One and Only, that truth will prevail and this Nation will be saved from attempted ruination by greed of the few.
