Sibu's MIRACLE

Sibu MIRACLE, couldn't believe it, really happened.
I started to follow Anilnetto live broadcast since this morning and the excitement was much more than the Thomas Cup. PR was left behind in the afternoon but SWING tremendously in the evening and finally won by 398 majority.
It is great, the Sibuan.
My Sibu friend called me and said,:" Look, do not look us down. We can also make the CHANGE."
Yes, SIBU 4 CHANGE. JOM UBAH!
The whole and future Malaysian will also remember you.
Some quick thoughts for this by-election:
a) When BN has left nothing but money and government resources, and all these also did not work, what are they going to do?
b) PR mark a step further in the rural area (like long houses) but it is still long way to go, they should not stop at this point and should go further into the rural area. PR could not go Putrajaya without all these penetrations.
c) A better team work and understandings among the PR coalition parties. They are more confident to face the attacks and differences between them and have more common directions now.
d) PAS and DAP have better campaign strategy but PKR needs to improve. They should have more dedicated politicians than the opportunists. People like Wee, Zahrain, Zul, etc are in this group and should be glad if they go.
e) Postal votes should be demolished and it is damned unfair and unnecessary nowadays.
Thanks again Sibuan bravely say NO to vote-buying and electoral bribery, and a lot could be learnt from this election for whole Malaysian.
Lastly, should PM honour his RM5million cheque?
He should honour it as the money shall be used to solve the drainage problems of the people, and the money is the People's money.

If the Campaign is only about Giving Money

If the campaign is only about giving money.
If the BN PM's job in by-election strategy is only giving money. (And it is our money, not his money)
Then anyone else also could be the PM. Nothing great if the PM ran here and there to give money, anyone also can pass the cheques to those who in fact should get the subsidy automatically and systematically.
But why all these schools or people still need the money after they had been supporting BN for the past 50 years. They should have been taken complete care by BN since 50 years ago.
Sarawak is a state that full of natural resources like oil & gas, the kayu balak, the land, etc but why the majority of the people still so poor and need money?
Why the schools still need the money?
Why the long house still need the money?
The rich family SUPP candidate and Sin Chew Chairman still so thick skin to "request" all attendees to stand up and give applause and gratitute to our 1 Malaysia PM because he is giving out money.
Shame on you.

What? May 13 Again?

What? May 13 again? Please, it is boring.
I am 41, born 20 days after May 13, 1969. Certainly, I did not experience myself how horror the situation was that period. However, my auntie staying in the Malay kampung that time told me that they lived peacefully and not tensed during the period. She only "heard" somethings happened in KL and some cities.
During my very young time, my father always lower his voice when talked about May 13. I did not know exactly why but felt uneasy later on about this date.
I asked my below 30 years old colleagues and they said they heard about May 13, but don't know what actually happened and no special feeling about this date.
Thus, the May 13 story seems like just an old man story. Only people like Azahar, Ibrahim Ali, and so on believed that this tactic is still effective to scare the people.
Didn't they know that this issue had been practically settled among the people during 308. The people had chosen the opposition party to replace the BN coalitions, without any fear.
