One Malaysia, Sabah the best example? Don't talk sweet!!

Kota Kinabalu: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on his maiden visit to Sabah as Prime Minister praised the State for displaying the best example of his "One Malaysia: People First, Performance Now" concept.DE

The best? Really? But that wasn't the case when we were still an opposition 15 years ago. What were the accusation by the federal government back then? Forgot already? Let us walk down the memory lane.

- Sabah is anti-West Malaysian.
- Sabah discriminate Muslims.
- Sabah pro-Christian.
- Sabah is a very hostile place.

These were during Sabah was still an opposition (PBS era). They said all these just so they can break our unity back then. It didn't work so they used an even dirtier tricks. Defection or better know as "Katak" and also 'Projek I.C' people. The result? Well, just look at Sabah now. The last in every aspect and it all happen during Umno reign.

And now, after their power depends solely on Sabah and Sarawak, they came back uttering sweet words.

Recalling his statement a few years ago that Sabah is like a "fixed deposit" in the BN, he quipped his visit was to check the value of the fixed deposit and believed the value would remain at a high level.DE

Oh..fixed deposit again? What, are we just some kind of bailout cash for them to stay in power?

Ok, before anyone says that it's the Sabahan own fault for not having the balls to make a change, let me give these 'anyone' a bit of history lesson.

Which state in Malaysia that have change more than 2 ruling party since the birth of Malaysia?
P.Pinang? Kedah? Perak? Kelantan? Terengganu? Selangor?

The answer is Sabah. We've tasted 5 different ruling party and we give them the boot every time they perform poorly. Unko/Upko, Usno, Berjaya, PBS and BN. Excepts for PBS where Umno/BN played dirty. So, don't call us as afraid of change, we already beat you guys to it way before you guys wanted change. ('you guys' refer to those ignorant opposition members from PR and Umno/BN)

People first, performance now? Sabah the best example for one Malaysia? These words doesn't mean anything to me. I believe most Sabahan also doesn't give a damn about it. What we want is the actual result.

Simply put, Walk The Talk. Don't just blah..blah..blah.. We Sabahan are not that gullible with these sweet praises. Or we'll give you the boot, again!

Bintulu..hard one...

Firstly, my sincere condolence towards the family of Batang Ai assemblyman.

That means another by-election will be held. This time it will be in the land of the hornbill. Who will be chosen by the people of Batang Ai? BN, PKR or maybe Independent?

Anwar recently (21 Feb) have begun his first step in trying to capture Batang Ai. He gave an open speech in Bintulu. It was estimated about 4,000 people attended the speech. You can listen to his speech here.

I've listen to his speech. To be fair, it's a bit too 'peninsularize'. I just wonder how it will woo the voter in Bintulu to switch from BN to PKR. He didn't touch much about Bintulu but more to what is happening in Perak and Selangor.

Honestly, East Malaysian (Sabah, Sarawak) doesn't really care about all that. What we need is development and retrieving our rights back. We have our own issues and we just can't be bother by Ketuanan, Sultan, Racism, Cows, Babi, Karpal, Altantuya or any of those penisular stuff.

And Sarawakian is known to have a strong sentiment towards the idea of outsider trying to control their state. Just recently, I had a chat with my Sarawakian friend; even though he dislike BN, he's also not into the idea of outsider party (UMNO, PKR) trying to gain control on Sarawak.

Sabahan already gone through with this 'ruling by an outsider party' decade and it sucks. I just hope Sarawak won't repeat the same mistake we had. Even though some might say PKR is different from BN, yet when it comes to politic, trust no one. (And no, this has nothing to do with the fact that I dislike Anwar.)

Bintulu is different from the two Bukit by-election. PKR will have a hard battle.

The Silver state Drama..

Perak is indeed in turmoil right now. I can understand how the Perakian feel right now since me as a Sabahan have also felt the same betrayal. Ironically, Sabahan betrayal was orchestrated by non-other than Anwar himself (and others of course).

Deep inside me, I felt a bit happy since Anwar was played down by his own game of frog (Yes, as a Sabahan, I dislike Anwar).Yet at the same time I also feel sad for the Perakian especially those who have voted the 4 frogs. Why is it had to be like this?

Is Najib so desperate? I guess so since he have faced 3 defeat until now. First was the 12th GE result in March, 2nd was BN defeat in Permatang Pauh by-election and 3rd was also BN defeat in Kuala Terengganu by-election.

There are also rumors that Sarawak might fall to PR in her next State General Election. Maybe that is why Najib seems to rush this ‘power grabbing’ scheme of his on Perak. He is also going to be sworn in as the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia, so he can’t possibly sit on the PM throne with 3-0 defeat in his track record.

Or it maybe a 4-0 defeat… who knows since the Perak Drama haven’t draw its curtain yet. As they said, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings..
