Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim welcomes the promise of a peaceful transition but urges BN-Umno to play by the rules referring to political violence that marred many PR ceramahs in the peninsular.


UNIMAS political analyst Dr Faisal Abdol Hazis reckons that PR has made considerable inroad into the Dayak’s heartland with the NCR issue aided now by the damning Global Witness video that exposes the depth of the corrupted regime led by Taib Mahmud for the last 32 years.

It would seem that BN Sarawak has a template to deny the rights of anyone who dared to question the government’s failure. Previously, Taking the cue from Telang Usan state assemblyman Dennis Ngau dismissal of those who are stateless as outsiders, Minister Awang Tengah Ali Hassan has also resorted to label those who oppose the Baram Dam as outsiders.

BN propaganda of slander and outright lies about the purported role of Anwar Ibrahim as the mastermind of the Sulu incursion are making the rounds in rural longhouses of Hulu Rajang. Its information chief Kumbong Langit dispels the propaganda with gusto.

A Bakun refugee forced to seek a living far from his village in Miri and once a BN die-hard supporter is resolved to kick out BN this time. The poor farmer has enough of the unfair distribution of BN’s piece-meal aid.

A Mirian shares his joy over the parliament dissolution and believes that most Malaysians are ready for change despite BN’s numerous vote-buying tactics. Even the taxi drivers in town are saying they can’t wait to cross the ballot box in favour of PR notwithstanding the free tyres gift.
