I think until nowdays , goverment didnt make afford to resolve ;land issue that own by people state of sarawak. Nobodys given us a good & clear solution regrading land premises matter at all. As sarawakians i urged people of sarawak to step up & fight our freedom and human rights. Is time people to choose & change our mind, we need a new goverment that care our people.

Anak_Permyjaya,

Your uncle is right.

It is scary to think of the future. Just imagine that, you have to pay 48% of the current market value of the land supposing you want to renew your land lease, by cash. If you can’t afford, your house will be gone, even if you have finished paying all your housing loans. Your house will be taken over by the government!!!

For instance, if the current value of your land is, say RM700,000 at that material moment, just multiply RM700,000 by 48%. That is how much you are going to pay, if you can’t pay, your house will be gone forever. Worst still, you’ll not be able to sell it before your land lease expires!!!!!

My uncle told me that we’re the only state or country that need to renew our land in this world, what we buy, no matter lands or premises, is not own by us but lease from state gov, what kind of logic is this? Actually, this scare the foreigner to invest in our country too.

I do think this is funny, what you think?

Dear Sara,
We are asked the question of ” what is accountability “. ” How to be accountable ? ”
Miss Wak, why ask such questions when the people who ask the same questions do not know the meaning of accountability and do not show actions of accountability. It is just so hypocritical that go against all religions and they can just slap their own faces for it. What you see is many of these projects, mega or micro, are carried out using suspicious money and in the end these projects bear the name of that someone or a name connected to that someone, meaning that in actual fact the projects do not belong to the people nor the government. Do you know that some filty rich dudes come from Sarawak and every now and then can fly off to places only rich people can go to ? The Great white sharks would not eat them because they got plenty of money to buy food to feed them. We think we are blessed. Indeed in a materialistic way, we are very blessed. All these blessings stop us from asking hard questions. Are we going to be spoiled by all these blessings ? Can we manage our land when the blessings stop coming ? Everyone is accountable since you asked. The ordinary people is accountable too because they allow events to happen that lead to such actions to be taken.

The Rakyat vote them in year in, year out, no reason for them to suspect the rakyat have stopped being gullible…This is evidenced by George recently coming out promising a road shop to get feedback and explain the land premiums to the people.Don’t think for a second that we know not about Collective Cabinet decisions, the SUPP were part and is still part of the decision, therefore any pretense at getting feedback and fighting for the rakyat is long past. Their continued presence suggestive of no other capable leaders is an insult. GO PLAY GOLF

The people of Sarawak should send their chief and cronnies to Australia’s Gold Coast, there, hopefully they will all be eaten by the Great White Sharks.

Let us make it clear. When the government fails, the opposition carries some responsibility as well. This is the way I look at a democratic system. We should see what have the oppsoition in Sarawak done to stop the abuses and improve the system. The oppsoition DAP has been elected once in a while since the 80’s (right?)
