yes i some how agree with this statement.

however allow me to digress a little , back to “education” i’m not sure how the malaysian education system here works , but in some countries upon reaching secondary school a subject on “moral education” was introduced. even in some countries starting from primary school a subject was also introduced called “hao gong ming” (good citizen).

of course i do understand that education can only do “this much” by introducing such subjects to incalculate good values , teaching people to be more considerate/conscientious , parents must also play an important part too. (i.e. upbringing/wellbeing in a family)

Thanks.

please don’t talk about education as it does not co-relate directly with the conscience of an individual. I can see so many highly educated people ruining the lives of masses. Cue the financial wizards in wall streets as well as submarine purchase agents.

By the way, I don’t have a university degree.

Don’t mean to ask you to seeking voting trend, just airing out a point of discussion

You have a good day and life, Sir.

though i’m not well educated as u , i don’t need to go round asking people on who to vote for.

Thanks & have a gd day.

This is not who our fore fathers want.

They will rise from their graves!

PR is coming to Sarawak and our fore fathers can rest in peace.

Look, I can imagine too. I went to KK before. Even people in WM do not know what it is like to live in a country where the government is clean and caring. I lived in Hong Kong and Singapore before. When I see Malaysians so darn ignorant on what they are missing out, I feel sorry for their sorry asses. Really. So much potential not fulfilled. So much hardship that could have been avoided.

But correct me if I am wrong. A lot of voters, East and West Malaysians, deem their votes are worth a sack of rice or RM50, right?

Well how do we educate them? Simple people, simple environment, no exposure.

Unless we get people in the know to go back and spread the truth, then there is no way in hell that PR can make inroads into cast iron controlled state of Sarawak.

Heck, even people in N Sembilan, Melaka, Johor, Pahang, Terengganu and Perlis are together in this

Sorry, I have no sympathy for these voters, giving Taib votes year in year out. They deserved whatever they got, except the Kuching folks who buck the trend.

Surprise me, Sarawakians.

Lee, Being in here already proved you’re educated..knowing the most basic concept of IT…but have u ever wonder what do the native in Sawawak know??..yet u said “i have no sypmathy for these voters”..I am not totally against you but somehow we must see the bigger picture what is happening..you may be not a Swkian but i am..PLEASE bear in mind most of the native once again do NOT have formal education..some cant even read or write..i doubt the number of native having completed their form 5 or even primary 6..
YOur intention maybe not in the way you’ve said..but maybe as a Malaysian, at least we show sympathy to them..i’m not blaming on the WM for not knowing the problems..i can say that MOST of WM are UNAWARE of what happening there…even Uncle Kit don’t talk that much about Swk compare to other states..^^…

I hope sarawakians be warned if you still are christian state.

Sabah before 1973, it was a christian state.

and now it is a Muslim state.

Who converted it? you check it out, you should know.

Sarawakians, pay back time!

Go and ask Kenny Sia who to vote for!

i’m brreak it up of what u have written : 1st paragraph of wat u wrote , i assume its already an adding salt to the wounds.

yr last sentence : “surprise me” u are throwing a challenge to all sarawakians.

thanks.

Dear Reform Malaysia ,

as i had stressed in my earlier comments , better educated , capable & younger generations of EM ppl had left their home states for overseas , be it migration , work , study or had renounced their malaysian citizenships & go for foreign citizenships , with such ppl leaving population of course will shrink a bit , moreover voting in malaysia is not compulsory , would malaysians based overseas bother to return just to vote / vote at their foreign based malaysian embassies ?

Thanks.

read my comment carefully. I am challenging Sarawakians to change.

one reap what one sows, hopefully there is enough pain to wake them up.

Would Sarawakians renew this licence in the coming state election?

Are Sarawakians happy with the 5% petroleum royalty while Sarawak have the worst infrastructure in Malaysia? – Answer that in the coming state election too!

I think Sabah’s illegal immigrants problem is more serious than Sarawak’s , the number of illegals from philippines is still relatively high in the state despite the recent clampdowns , just a matter of time they will will soon replace us as Sabahans if the clampdowns is discontinued after sometime .

During DRM’s time there wasn’t much clampdowns on illegals , tat is why some illegals had became phantom voters & this allows BN to keep themselves in power for so long……not tat EM ppl dun wan to vote for opposition ,

308 elections opposition had spent most of their time campaigning in WM is another factor for consideration……

thanks

So the people has to act themselves and not indulge in self pity now that the ravages are getting more blatant.

Wee Tak ,

pls be mindful when u make this comment , the ppl of sarawak are already in pain & now with this comment i assume u are adding salt to the ppl’s wound.

i somehow do agree with “disappointed 86″ views the natives are either poorly educated or totally illiterate , can’t totally blame the natives , they have long been brained washed by the BN G’s & T’s,
look how its been 45yrs how much petroleum $ have we EM been contributing to WM , they have used our money to develop WM at EM’s expense , what did we get in return after joing malaya to form malaysia ?

next point , better educated Sabahans & Sarawakians had chosen to leave their home states to study or work , some capable EM ppl had also renouced their citizenship to take up foreign citizenship , EM ppl especially younger generations who study overseas & upon graduation had chosen to work & live overseas not returning to contribute to the EM states , therefore population in EM is getting thinner , less voters , who would bother to fly back to EM just to cast their votes ?

next point voting is not compulsory in malaysia , unlike singapore or some other countries its compulsory , assuming if malaysia makes voting mandatory for all citizens/eligible voters , i think the results may have swing a little………..as all oveseas based malaysians had to fly back to their respective states to cast their ballots or exercise voting at their respective foreign countries malaysian embassies …….

think about it

Thank You

1) First register them. Without registration, there is no way to ensure private rights especially private property rights.
2) Rights of any natural resources that cover their area should be awarded to them.
3) Programs installed to invest any profit from projects in their areas to community development.

The SCORE program is an example where there is an opportunity. After all orang Asli are registered, cooperatives or funds should be established that has development rights of their areas including ALL logging and mineral rights. Profit from those rights should be ploughed back to projects like dams or palm oil estate which THEY HAVE first right and to fund community development ESPECIALLY education, farming and infrastructure.

The Orang Asli need help to tranform their traditional society that do not emphasise private ownership, assets and rights to one that does.

PR must understand that the Orang Asli is not Malay. They may be tribal BUT they are not feudal. They never had concept of taxes and royalties (now known as money politics) that fueled their politics. Its why Taib is so strong because he brought feudalism to an unfeudal society.

The way to win the Sarawak and Sabah vote is tribal fears. If they can SCARE the Sarawakian and Sabahan that BN programs will DRIVE them away from their rights then they will vote PR. And it will, its inevitable because BN cannot think outside the box that the natives of Sarawak and Sabah concept of private rights and asset is more dilute and hence naturally has poor defense against their machining.

Taib and UMNO plan for dams and other big projects is perfect for scaring the living daylights out of the tribes of Sarawak and Sabah and the time is right to spin it for all its worth. PR offer of more oil & gas royalties for Sabah is just a first step, they need to emphasise ownership and community self-development as part of their offer. Give immigration back to Sabah control for example. In Sarawak, mineral and logging rights to the orang Asli and ownership of dams and palm oil estate. Consider even land reservation even a casino for Sabahan that will pay all non-Malay, non-Chinese, non-Indian a piece of the royalties and pay for education and social programs just like the natives of American Indians.
