10th Sarawak State Election - This may be the most important election in Sarawak history ever. Finally, in the end – Barisan Nasional 55 : 16 Opposition. After an intense 10 days of campaigning to capture the 71 state assembly seats that are made available, the Barisan Nasional sweeps to power with two-thirds majority again…but…the opposition parties especially the DAP still manage to make some inroads as well…the DAP have stamped its mark by nearly wiping out SUPP (the state’s second biggest party which is equivalent to MCA in peninsular Malaysia which looks after the Chinese community) in urban Chinese majority seats and doubling its tally to 12 out of the 15 seats contested in Miri, Sibu and Kuching. The Chinese in Sarawak have made themselves heard loud & clear. I salute them for their courage. It’s good that we no longer have the immigrant mind set where we always play safe, remain silent, don’t want to cause so much problems because our ancestors was not originally from this land. Today, we are Malaysians…regardless of our race, we need to raise our concerns and the government is obliged to provide the solutions for the rakyat. I don’t care whether the Prime Minister is male or female…Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan, Iban etc…straight or not so straight…have been around for ages or just recently onboard…I personally don’t think it matters as long as the job’s done. It could be a super computer for all I care. As long as that individual is willing to change according to time and willing to adapt. Again, as I have always emphasize…a government's role is to provide sufficient employment with salaries that matches the current inflation rate, free education, affordable medical & free immunization programs, food security, sustainable & environmental-friendly development, energy & natural resources conservation and homeland security. That should be the government’s prime objectives.
