The future of Sarawak, where are we heading?

Socially:

Talking about social development, one tend to compare Sarawak with the rest of the states and bigger cities such as KL.   Though social problems in Sarawak is showing a worrying upward trend, it is still at a level much lower than those in bigger cities.   Social problems in bigger cities is different.   However, later on when a town spring into big city, these kinds of social problems tend to be out of control.   Crime rates will also be on the rise.   Surprisingly, gansterism in Sarawak used to be amongst the worst.   Sibu used to be known as gangster town way back in the 70’s and 80’s.   Then there emerge a new breed of triad which haunts Bintulu town just recently.   Thanks to the efforts of YB Datuk Tiong in dealing and cleaning them, if not looks like Bintulu would be the least safest place to reside in Sarawak.

Other criminal activities such as theft, house breaking, snatching and drug pushing in Sarawak as a whole seems to be on the rise.   This is probably due to economic pressure on unemployed citizens.   As can be observed from the recent cases, most of these crimes were committed by foreigners, that is the Indonesians.   This phenomena reflects the low level of security in our state.

UMNO leaders are racialists

This article is taken from <a title="Utusan Online" href="Bangkitlah Melayu KUALA LUMPUR 14 April – Orang Melayu perlu bangkit dan bersatu dalam berhadapan dengan tuntutan kaum lain yang kini dilihat semakin keterlaluan. Mereka juga perlu sedar dan insaf dengan situasi politik semasa yang menyaksikan pelbagai tuntutan hingga boleh menjejaskan kekuatan politik orang Melayu. Sehubungan itu, orang Melayu diminta tidak tunduk kepada tuntutan keterlaluan tersebut sebalik bangkit bersatu bagi mempertahankan hak dan kepentingan mereka. Ahli Parlimen Pasir Mas, Datuk Ibrahim Ali berkata, pemimpin bukan Melayu dalam hal ini perlu sedar yang sesebuah kerajaan itu boleh sahaja untuk tidak ‘melayan’ tuntutan mereka. Katanya, jumlah kerusi terbanyak di Parlimen adalah milik Melayu dan ia cukup untuk membentuk sebuah kerajaan berasaskan wakil rakyat Melayu semata-mata di negara ini. Katanya, justeru, dari segi politiknya kerajaan itu sepatutnya memenuhi apa sahaja yang menjadi kehendak Melayu kerana mereka adalah majoriti dan bukan asyik bertolak ansur dengan bukan Melayu.

Batang Ai by-election – my personal analysis

At first, the Batang Ai by-election was seen as a barometer to test the strength of the ruling BN coalition versus it’s rival PR, after the last GE where PR shook the world by taking over 5 states from the ruling coalition.   However, things took a turn with a sudden announcement by a would-be independent candidate, Johnny Anak Chuat to contest in this by-election.   It was said earlier that, both parties have a 50/50 chances of winning.

Batang Ai has been the traditional stronghold of BN, since the PDBS era, where the older folks are still the keen supporters of BN.   The acceptance of locals towards PR is somewhat doubtful, for one reason that it is a West Malaysian based political party, furthermore their performance in Perak and Selangor was not up to expectations.   The younger generations which are more exposed to globalization processes are their most likely voters.   Then there are voters who are neither on the BN or PR side, those who are sitting on the fence, for reason known to themselves.   These are the groups that the independent candidate should take advantage.

Not a beautiful Sunday

Wake up late today, since today is Sunday.    After taking bath, prepare breakfast, milk and noodles.    Like normally, turn on my laptop to go online and check emails, moderate one or two sites.

But, I feel so disappointed.   I can’t even post anything on any forums, least doing the moderation, what the heck.   At first I thought it is due to line problems, but when I checked my connection speed, it’s about 7.2 Mbps, which seems to be normal.    Then I tried to log-in into my hosted site, hell, it said I was brute forcing into the site, need to wait for another 10 minutes to re-try.   This is my 1st try when I was not logging-in after quite some time.   Obviously, someone, probably hackers did try to brute force into my account.  Bloody shit, there’s nothing in there, nothing precious.  Well, if they want, I can just relinquish my account and my site to them, sort of donating to them.

Well, this is cyber world, what more can I say!!!

Bad Road

This is the photograph of the road at Sg Plan resettlement area. This hole grows bigger and bigger each day. It seems that none of the authority concerned care about it. It is very inconvenient and dangerous to motorists.

Why is the BDA not doing anything about it? We pay road tax, thus deserve better roads to travel. To BDA, please do something.
