WITH MALAYIAKINI: Taib Mahmud warns Pakatan Rakyat.

Taib Mahmud is counting his days, simply because he is getting much older. But at no time, he is hinting about letting vultures flying too low over dayaks. Kenyalangs are in abundance. As vultures are flying low over Sibu and Bintulu, Taib is now in the mood to issue warnings. He touched on unstoppable desire of the vultures to set up government through defections, because someone wish to be the next Prime Minister through backdoor.

2. Anwar should take heed, before the hornbills go onslaught. Perak is a showcase on the true meaning of seduction and its backlash.



A warning
to Pakatan Rakyat

The political imbroglio that breaks out in Perak is a warning for Pakatan Rakyat which previously was very ambitious to form a government at the federal level, Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said Thursday (5 Feb).

He said the impending collapse of Pakatan Rakyat government in Perak should serve as a lesson for the three-party alliance with regard to their desire to set up a new federal government by claiming a number of Barisan Nasional (BN) representives would cross over.

"Don't start this form of political hijack. It is a lesson for Pakatan Rakyat. They are bearing the brunt of this," said Taib who is Sarawak BN chairman here.

He was commenting on the move by three Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen -- Hee Yit Foong (DAP-Jelapang), Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi (PKR-Behrang) and Mohd Osman Jailu (PKR-Changkat Jering) -- to leave their parties and become independent representatives.

Bota assemblyman Datuk Nasarudin Hashim who crossed over to PKR on 25 Jan, meanwhile, is rejoining Umno.

Taib said what happened to Pakatan Rakyat in Perak had been expected from the start and their were being punished for what they had done to BN. (Bernama)

SARAWAK AND MALAYSIAKINI: Kenyalangs and vultures.

http://khaoyai.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/hornbills-threatened-by-climate-change/Not that I am a real Sarawakian. I am just a Malaysian, a unit in a bigger entity called Malaysians. A subset within a bigger set as it were. That's the kind of jargon Mr Leong would really like to say as he was pushing his 30 odd students to the limiting algebraic domain. Muda Mohd Noor is rather quick to point out the most appropriate issue in Malaysiakini on Gobalakrishnan claims.

  • MP 'denied' entry into S'wak from malaysiakini
  • Muda Mohd Noor | Dec 24, 08 7:07pm
  • PKR parliamentarian N Gobalakrishnan claims that he was denied entry into Sarawak by immigration officers at the Kuching International airport.

2. Our Puan Rohani many-many years ago if confronted with a similar situation would asked "Why do you think he was denied entry?". Knowing her so well, we were waiting patiently who would in the end give the most sensible answer.

3. Puan Rohani, our English teacher were very patient with us, accepting the most diverse of ideas and answers. We knew what she wanted for an answer.

4. Puan Rohani mampu memberi perspektif menarik mengenai kedaulatan negara, kecintaan terhadap negara, berjuang untuk negara, dan berkorban untuk negara. Isu ada orang tidak dibenarkan masuk adalah isu Sovereignty........ kedaulatan sebuah negara.

5. Kami terhutang akal dan budi dengan guru-guru terutamanya Mr Leong dan Puan Rohani. Sementara yang lain begitu berfokus pengajaran mereka, mereka berdua membawa ilmu dengan perspektif menarik, mengajar nombor untuk jadi dewasa bukan untuk periksa sahaja.

6. Kenyalang adalah hornbill. Kenyalang bukan sekadar burung dalam jatidiri orang Sarawak. Kenyalang ada harga diri. Kenyalang ada pride.

7. Kita sedia maklum, Gobalakrishnan bukan orang pertama tidak dapat keizinan masuk kesana. Mereka dari DAP sedar siapa yang pernah disuruh balik sebaik mendarat. Bumi Kenyalang adalah bumi suci. Oleh itu sebagai seorang rakyat Malaysia, saya cuma berharap Gobalakrishnan tidak rasa terkilan dengan insiden itu. Yang paling dhaif dalam kawasan Padang Serai juga dapat mengagak apa maksud bila orang tidak pelawa masuk kerumah walau ketuk dan salam berkali-kali. Tetamu tidak diundang.

8. Kedua-dua negeri Sabah dan Sarawak adalah negeri yang sangat menarik. Sabah dilihat sebagai politically volatile, dengan pegangan politik yang mudah dipengaruhi, manakala Sarawak adalah sebuah negeri yang sangat stabil dari sudut politik dan ekonomi. Untuk tujuan rekod, wajar diketahui ramai bahawa Taib Mahmud adalah antara cerdik pandai bumi kenyalang. Sekitar tahun 1957 beliau adalah diantara 4 anak-anak muda yang bijak telah dianugerah biasiswa untuk melanjut pelajaran keluar negara.

9. Taib Mahmud kekal sebagai seorang pemimpin yang sangat berkesan untuk masyarakat yang berbilang suku di Bumi Kenyalang.

When there are vultures flying low sniffing carcass down below, it is only proper to shoo them away.

When the sun is shining the Creator, holder of Man's destiny, asks the escort, "Why, oh people, have Rukkelengpoba and his family for three days and three nights left the top of the sky?" Before the escort can answer, Rukkelengpoba, Sangiang padju, Rumamakkompo, Balassariú, immediately appear. The Creator is not pleased when he sees Rukkelengpoba and his family. In an angry voice the Creator asks, "Where hast thou been, oh Rumamakkompo and thy family? For three nights already thou hast been absent from the top of the sky."

Taib Mahmud: Jangan besar-besarkan isu BULI.

KUCHING, Oct 29 (Bernama) -- Sarawak Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud has called on all parties not to prolong and blow up the issue of bullying raised by members of smaller components of the coalition.

He said the allegation that bigger component parties were bullying the rest was "a small matter".

"You don't need to ask me questions like this," he told reporters at his office in Wisma Bapa Malaysia here today.

He was asked to comment on a Malaysiakini report on Saturday which quoted Parti Rakyat Sarawak member Beginda Minda of the Balleh division as saying that Umno at the federal level and Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) in Sarawak were too dominant and bullying smaller BN components.

Taib who is Sarawak Chief Minister, is also PBB president.

Former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting was also reported to have said during the party's 55th general assembly recently that Umno seemed far more dominant compared to the other components and wanted the BN leadership to correct the situation.
