This article was taken from Malaysia-Today’s Letter to the Editor column. It was from one “Wildman of Borneo”. Though I don’t agree 100% with what is written here, I tend to agree with a lot. Read at your own risk.
First of all, congratulations for those folks in Kedah, Perak, Kelantan, Penang and Selangor for having the guts to changes. And, the utmost congratulations the folks in Sabah for showing their true color, which is, being dumb and dumber.
For being Sabahan, I’m disgusted, ashamed, frustrated, fooled, dismayed, shocked and whatever feeling ones felt if being let down. Well, this is only me saying and Sabahan has decided ‘we truly love BN!’ saying out loud.
For the next five years, we Sabahan should glorify and never ever complained wrong doing. Again, we Sabahan have decided, right?
We will glorify corrupt act, support corrupt politicians to the very ends. If it requires, we shall assist them in their unlawful activity or simply closed one eye.
We will go all out partying for having another or a couple more case of Donni John Duin, 11 years old, who committed suicide because his family was poor. A boy that age knows the shame of being poor, an adults like the most of us are too dumb to have that thoughts. Again, congratulations to Sabahan for supporting poverty elongation plan.
Yesterday I received an SMS from Jusdy. It goes like this :
“My friend is looking for a job. He’s been working with the Malaysian government for more than 30 years. Experienced in road works. His name is Samy. Please help.”
Haha - hey, it’s bad to laugh at other people’s sad predicament you know (but I forwarded that to my brother as well kekeke) - anyway Mr Samy, happy belated 72nd birthday, maybe it’s time for you to take a rest and just make noise from the sidelines like Dr M.
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.
Video below of P124 Bandar Tun Razak Keadilan supporters having a victory parade at 4am eventhough the police had already issued a warning not to hold any. Luckily no untoward incidents happened.
Staying up in church today was a struggle - like others, I slept at 3am to watch the BN humiliation as it unfolds. 5 states lost? Heh - that’s what you get if place so many sombong bodoh YBs in your line-up.
The buzzword in the Malaysian blogosphere now is “political tsunami” and I’m just disappointed that the winds of change completely passed us by. What happened to us dear Sabahans? We have no voice in the opposition now, only 2 ah? Christina Liew lost by a mere 174 votes, of which postal votes won it for Yee.
Watching the debate on TV1/TV3 election coverage last night was disgusting. Only BN wins were posted up, all the wins especially from Penang was announced only later. As usual, you get faster news from the web.
And whenever BN loses, all the panels said was “that place has a majority of non-malays”, that’s why BN lost.
Emm excuse me sir, this is 2008. People vote for the political ideology and they stayed away from the BN because of their failure to hear the people’s grouses. Personally, I voted for a chinese candidate yesterday and I’m not chinese. Surprising? No.
