This is something I have not done in my life, which is not many, to offer myself as a candidate for the state constituency of Layar, proudly
Held by Alfred Jabu for countless terms, ( I have lost count)
We (together with my proposer and seconder) arrived at 0815 and waited for the centre to open at 0900am.
Shortly after, the PKR candidate, Stanny Embat and his entourage made a grand entrance. Embat is a close relative of mine.
We exchanged greetings warmly. Joe Unggang, from SNAP then came. Joe too is a relative. Embat handed his nomination papers first, followed by Joe and then yours truly, muklum lah orang independent!
As I was still sitting down, while the returning officer went through my nomination papers the grand big man came in followed by flashbulbs, scores of the press people, police and all.
But we made Jabu so small in that room that morning. All three of us refused to acknowledge his prescence. No greetings and hand shakes We did not extend ours and neither had he. Statesman and an elderly behavior you reckon? Jabu, is also a relative of both Embat and me showed his true colour that day in the nomination centre; sullen, sulking, stoned faced and poise to rumble and tumble!
Stanny Embat raised an objection to Jabu 's nomination papers that he stated his " pekerjaan" as the deputy chief minister of Sarawak.This was where the scenes became ugly. We waited till well over 12 pm awaiting the decision of the returning officer to make his decision. Insults were traded and we made the MAN so small! Unsavoury words were thrown at Jabu by several YBs from PKR that accompanied Stanny to the centre. In any case the objection was overruled and Jabu papers were accepted.
The returning officer, who is also the District Officer of Betong was professional in handling his job and wish to thank him for that.
Thank you Friday Bilek for job well done.
Now, for the tough fight ahead, wish me well friends. Jabu and BN have dished RM1000 per family in Ulu Layar and in Chinese areas in Betong town, and elsewhere it is RM500 per family obtained from the taxpayer's money of which you and me are the contributors, disguised as "Project Kilat".

Exposed to scenes like this one during my tour of duty as an investigating officer in the Force is common sight

While I appreciate your intention to topple Jabu but the sad fact that three of you struggling to compete for the remaining votes not within Jabu graspe is rather silly. If three of you are sincere why not two have to withdraw at least the prospect is better. But politics is always personal interest first and people later.
ReplyDeleteAdoii manyak sarcastic lo! ...and I second.
ReplyDeleteyes I agree that three of u must decide only one will contest against Jabu. Just for the benefit of our state and not for your interest.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese in Malaysia have to face the stark reality that to get a Fair deal in our country we have to throw away MCA,Gerakan,SUPP for these leaders are only serving their self-interest.I challenge all the bogus leaders of chinese based parties in the BN to QUIT BN and join other Indigeous party to fight for the Right of all Malaysians irrespective of race colour or religion and I am sure any Malaysians will give their wholehearted support.Accepting scraps from UMNO is a total betrayal of the the Trust of the people you claim to represent. Enough is enough the results of the elections CLEARLY demonstrate the frustrations of the chinese communities in East and West Malaysia of the Unfair practice existing in our country and the nons will unite with any party which will genuinely and sincerely fight for the rights of all Malaysians irrespective.
ReplyDeleteOn the recent election results one thing is clearly noticable:
55% popular votes = 55 seats
45% popular votes = 16 seats
It doesnt need an expert to analyse the support the opposition garnered from the rakyat.
UMNO/BN days are numbered.
whatever we must continue to enjoy our coffee at 98
