PAS president stupid, obnoxious, racist and arrogant remarks..

Guong

I'm so disturbed by this remarks which was quoted from non-other that PAS president himself, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang.

I'm not Sarawakian but as a Sabahan and as a people of Borneo, the remarks really irritate me to the point that.........just.....damn!!

I've wrote about how west Malaysian stereotyped us east Malaysian and this is an example of such stereotype with the highest order of chauvinist like mentality. And this actually came from a party that are said to champion the people rights?!!

What was the remark?

Hadi was reported as saying: “Semua pilihanraya kecil sebelum ini keputusannya memihak kepada kita. Cuma di Batang Ai sahaja kita kalah sebab mereka ini tidak reti undi, pakai cawat lagi. Saya bukan nak hina tetapi tempat yang pakai molek, undi PAS.
[or in English]
(In all previous by-elections, the results favoured us. Only in Batang Ai we lost because they did not know how to vote, still wearing loincloths. I am not trying to insult but in those places where people dressed nicely, they voted for PAS.)”TBP

By the time I wrote this post, there are still no sign or news of Hadi apologizing or retracting his remark.

If this is the kind of mentality they have in their narrow mind regarding East Malaysian, they are no different than those Umno/BN goons who think of us only as a fix deposit or an example of 1Malaysia nation.

PAS, another racist party. In fact, all of West Malaysian parties are racist. That's how East Malaysian sees it. Hadi's remark just confirms it.

What? East Malaysian are Stupid you say?

The by-elections result was just as I thought it will be. BN=1, PKR=2. Now that has been done with, shall we proceed to the actual mandate given by the people, ensuring the well being of the rakyat?

I'm getting sick of this non-stop political bickering when we are already in a big economic crisis. Not to mention our degrading education standard, rampant corruption, and East Malaysia being sideline all this Malaysian years.

Speaking of East Malaysian, it really piss me off reading some of the comments in blogs and forums regarding the winning of BN in Batang Ai.

Yes…These Malaysians are real dumb.
Win or loose actually does not make any differences right now…at Batang Ai..a small state seat.
It is Bukit Gantang…a parliament seat most important.
But by loosing…at Batang .Ai…it means PR need to work harder for 13th GE…to make them understand real freedom.
Looking at the big majority for BN…are these people nuts….no brain at all?

Batang Ai voters,

You have spoken. You wanted to wait for another 50 years to see the SUN or the LIGHT.

Suffer on. But the West Malaysians have had enough of 50 years of BN bullshit. You guys are just starting out, I supposed. Enjoy the ride, it is only 50 years.

These are just some of the comments. There are more. What pisses me off is these people are just so damn ignorant.

I'm not Sarawakian. But I can't stand it when these ignorant people uttering such comment without using their brain. These people are somewhat the same as those UMNO goons.

To those ignorant West Malaysian,
- We East Malaysian are not stupid and uneducated. Don't stereotype us with your narrow mind.
- Your issues and political game are way different than us. Blame yourself for not understanding that.
- One Malaysia by Pakatan Rakyat? You guys? We East Malaysian have been practicing that concept for decades and we actually have more ethnic compared to you guys. And now you are bashing us and even worst condemning us? Your One Malaysia are just a piece of crap then!
- Rural folks are less important? Oh, now we are using standard to distinguish those who are needed and not in Malaysia? That's another reason for calling your One Malaysia a piece of crap.

I was thinking of congratulating you West Malaysian for showing the rakyat power. But it seems your mentality towards East Malaysian are no different than to those you guys oppose.

Seems like who ever helm the government, if they are still from West Malaysian, the result will still be the same for us East Malaysian. We'll still be marginalized.

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.
