No fresh air in Sabah after the elections
People in the West of Malaysia are still celebrating the new dawn in politics, the “political tsunami” as they call it.
For us in the jungles of Borneo, the land of Sarawak and Sabah, we have become BN’s stronghold. Voice in the opposition only number at 2, one each for the parliament and the state seat. The air is still the same.
It’s very hard to understand, Sabah has good and a lot of natural resources but we need to kiss the Federal’s ass to get money so that the folks in the interior can get electricity? And how long has BN been in power but drive 30 minutes from any town in Sabah, other than KK you can reach the village without basic amenities.
Good or bad, we can only know a few years from now. Let’s not hope news coming out about politicians wasting money in casinos abroad or more land grabbing from the interior folks.
For now, let’s just rejoice with our fellow Malaysians on the other side of the sea, for now their voice has been heard.

then again u can’t blame sarawakians and sabahans though since most of them are still uneducated and easily fooled into voting for Bee Ann. what they need to do is throw away the tuak and start going to school.

To form the government, either coalition needs only 112 parliamentary seats. The combined Sabah+Sarawak parliamentary seats=56. Opposition now got 82.
82+56=138
Sudah berapa lama kita cakap tentang 20 Perkara. Berapa lama sudah cakap tentang 5% sahaja hasil minyak kita dapat. Ataupun tentang harga barang yang lebih tinggi berbanding Malaya.
Malaysia Borneo sebenarnya sudah ada ‘bargaining chip’ untuk kita tuntut 20 Perkara dikaji balik, peratus hasil minyak dikaji balik, dan bilangan Menteri kita lebih banyak di peringkat Nasional.
If we are smart, we can be the winners here. BA will do anything to form the next government so they will cave to our demands, we can make a new 20 Perkara as a deal that is better than the stupid old one.
If UMNO pusat ignore our demands, then we can have a new government. If UMNO agrees, we let them survive.

Sabahan did fight… but lost the battle… due to
1. Extraordinary postal vote.
2. Money given to students so that their parents vote for BN
3. That “Cheap tangki air” given to villagers to win their heart.
4. %age of votes exceed the daftar pengundi.. Eg. Ranau
5. Suspicious “peti undi” were introduce after opposition won at first recount, suddenly turn the tides. There some place where recount have been done 8 times…. the first three goes to oppo and still BN want a recount……
6. BN sponsored “Calon Bebas” divide the votes….
7. No mutual agreement between PKR-DAP on the calon.. so at the end they themselves divide the votes…
8. Gov staff was warn(By HOD) not to undi opposition else they will be transferred to “end of the world”..
9. I dont to want mentioned abt the PTI votes as I dont have any info on that….

Perkara 20 yg bkaitan dgn hak2 dan kedaulatan neg Sabah harus dikaji semula..
