Sarawak 2011 – Vote for Change

For over 30 years, Sarawak has been the bread basket of Barisan Nasional and the jewel in the crown of Chief Minister Taib’s multi-billion dollar empire

The Taib administration has ruled Sarawak with an iron fisted grip for over 3 decades, outstaying Prime Minister Mahatir himself

In this time, Taib and his regime have systematically trampled over the rights of the people of Sarawak, violating the basic human rights of millions of tribal people,stripping them of their native customary lands and causing widespread environmental devastation, of which the ill conceived Bakun dam project is aprime example

This is why it’s time for PEOPLE of SARAWAK to VOTE for CHANGE.30 years is long enough,Down with Taib!! Taib Must Go!!

A spiritual battle in Mukah

 

At the Balingian nomination centre, all eyes were on an Australian bomoh allegedly close to Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud, who was filing his nomination form.A minor fracas broke out when Independent candidate Salleh Jafaruddin raised his voice at Stella Kharleen Tashman, a striking blonde who sported a leopard-print headscarf.

“You want to put a spell on me, you want to put a spell on Malaysia,” Salleh said, raising his voice.However, Stella , who was wearing heavy make-up, just laughed and walked away, while Salleh had to be restrained by his supporters.

According to whistleblower website Sarawak Report, Stella was introduced to Taib by his sister Raziah.It further claimed that Taib is strongly influenced by Stella, who is said to conduct a ritual each morning before he leaves his residence.

MoCS Fellows can become election observers

Dear MoCS Fellows and friends,

MAFREL has contacted me and requested MoCS’ assistance to send election observers for the coming polls.

Colonel Shaharudin informed me yesterday that they prefer Sarawakians to be election observers in their own state rather than sending a contingent of West Malaysians.

A MoCS volunteer officially becomes a MAFREL observer. On Nomination Day (April 6) and Polling Day (April 16), you are granted entry to nomination and polling centres to help ensure that everything is above board.

For those you never have the chance to observe polling at close range, this is a golden opportunity to sign up.

If you are interested to be a MAFREL election observer (in any part of Sarawak), please send a photocopy of your IC and two (2) passport-size photo to our Kuching MoCS Coordinator MARK CHIN at:

mark chin <mcfl2000@yahoo.com>, or call him at 012-8839245

So far, five MoCS fellows have signed up to be observers in the Kuching area.

I would encourage you to do so. Get your friends who are not on this list to sign up as well.

Please read the mail below from MAFREL for further info.

Shaharudin will be in Kuching on April 2 to meet up with MoCS volunteers. Those outside Kuching, please find a way to send the necessary to Mark Chin.

Dear Mr Francis Siah,

Reference to our telephone conversation today allow me to thank you and Movement for Change Sarawak for giving me the chance to introduce MAFREL.

Below is the press statement forwarded to Transparency International for inclusion into their press conference on the 30th March 2011.

With these, I hope you are a little bit enlightened by what is MAFREL all about. Please feel free to forward it to your members of the Movement for Change Sarawak, MocS (no copywrite on all our publications). Hoping to hear from you and your friends soonest possible. Thank you and god bless.

Shaharudin Othman. 

PRESS STATEMENT MAFREL (acronym for Malaysians for Free and Fair Elections) is the only NGO in Malaysia that has been accredited by the Malaysian Elections Commission (Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya – SPR) to observe all the elections conducted by the SPR since 2004. MAFREL shall embark on an extensive observation mission for the Sarawak State Assembly from 6th April (Nomination Day) to 16th April 2011(Polling Day). The plan of action covers the areas of a.         Recruitment of observers from volunteers in the state of Sarawak. b.         Training on election observation by MAFREL trainers. c.         Conduct election observation in the Sarawak State Assembly to cover: (1.)       Pre Election Survey.

The Voter Education programs shall also radiate from these centers. 6.        During the elections proper, it is envisaged that a total of 30 personnel be required to man full time at these centers to carry out the task of voters roll verification, campaign observation, media monitoring and voter education. For the task of Nomination Day Observation the local volunteers (trained by MAFREL) located at the towns and cities in Sarawak will conduct the observation at the Nomination Center for all constituencies. During Polling Day, the deployment of all local volunteers (trained by MAFREL) shall be extensive to cover the polling stations in identified constituencies. This number shall be in the hundreds. These observers shall be provided with “SPR passes” and located in the polling station. It is hoped that the reports shall be positive and free of irregularities and offences. Shaharudin Othman. Deputy Chairman, MAFREL.

Paul Kadang explaination on SNAP Saga

SNAP: Why We Do What We Do

By Paul Kadang, Director of Operations, Sarawak National Party (SNAP)

Taken from Sarawak National Party Blogs

SNAP’s recent re-emergence to reclaim its place in the Sarawak political arena has sparked numerous allegations and prejudgements on the motives of the prime movers of the party’s re-vitalisation. Presumably made with good intentions, these prejudgements have been voiced out in the internet by political observers who seem to hold themselves out as being totally familiar with the present Sarawak political scene. Most of these, however, contain presumptions that have not been thoroughly examined.

Let me elaborate on the reasons and circumstances leading to SNAP’s re-emergence.

Background

From the beginning since its founding in 1961, SNAP has had two important characteristics vis-a-vis its support: it has always been a multiracial party. Of equal importance has been its emphasis on Dayak interests, which is not surprising since this community forms its inner core.

It had been the tearing and cracking of this core by its political opponents since 1970, through their divide and rule policies, which not only decapitated SNAP as a viable political organization but also formed the first significant break in Dayak communal unity. The manifestation of these divide and rule policies has continued to this day and has been a contributing factor to the dispossession of the Dayak people of much of their properties and lands by unscrupulous people.

Since that time the holy grail of Dayak politics has been to forge their internal unity and cohesion in their search for equitable power sharing in the country. They have laboured hard towards this end but so far without success. And so to this day, Dayaks have continued to be splintered and their political representation fragmented amongst the various parties in Sarawak.

Over the past eight years, Ibans and other natives did not have any indigenous political party as their platform for democratic dissent. They gave the benefit of the doubt to SPDP and PRS and even PBB to try to regain the rightful political significance of the native population. In those eight years, the blatant disregard for Native Customary Rights and Native Customary Land as enshrined in the laws of the state, continued and became even more widespread till today. All these happened without even the slightest protest coming from legislators and political parties that claim to represent, protect and uphold native interests be they the PBB, SPDP or PRS.

By 2008, the natives, particularly those from the Dayak communities, were totally marginalised politically. A new generation of native intellectuals then decided that the time had come for natives to depend on no one but themselves to fight their battles.

Answering the clarion call of Reformasi that have yielded fruits in the federal general elections of March 2008, these Dayak intellectuals began to look at PKR as the platform from which to fight their battles. Some became PKR members, while some others watched with keen interest and gave their support from the fringes.

But two years later, they slowly drifted away from PKR for reasons which in total had shown to these intellectuals that native problems are of a low priority to PKR. The instances are as follows.

PKR’s Relationship with Natives and Native Issues

The records show that PKR in Sarawak was started by disenchanted Malay-Melanau politicians splintered from the then and present ruling elite. For ten years the main issues that made up PKR Sarawak’s political agenda were their typical infighting and their urge to find a way to replace Taib Mahmud and gang as the ruling elite of Sarawak. All the office-bearers and head of PKR Sarawak were from that group for most of the twelve years of PKR Sarawak’s existence.

It was only in 2008, with the entry of other native and Dayak intellectuals into the party that wider native issues became part of PKR’s campaign fodder to attract these native votes. Before this, there were almost no PKR divisions in Dayak-majority constituencies. Attempts were then made by personalities like Nicholas Bawin to open up branches in Dayak native-majority constituencies.

It is notable that only after twelve years, for the first time ever, a Dayak was appointed a few months ago as head of PKR Sarawak. Even then the appointment was not without vociferous protests from the pioneers of PKR Sarawak. Till now, no Iban sits in PKR’s inflated Majlis Pimpinan Pusat or its political bureau. These are ominous signs of the patronising attitude of PKR that culminated in the Batang Ai by-election catastrophe of April 2009.

The Batang Ai By-Election

The native intellectuals group, Malay Melanau and Dayak, that supported PKR had by the end of 2008 quadrupled in number, ready to adopt PKR as the saviour of the natives. Then came the Batang Ai by-election and it was clear to most of PKR Sarawak native leaders that Nicholas Bawin was the most viable PKR candidate and was expected to be nominated. They were astonished therefore that a long time ex-yang berhormat, formerly from the ruling coalition who was not known to be associated with PKR, was appointed instead of Bawin. That was at the behest and financial lobbying of a Chinese towkay whose official affiliation with PKR was nil but who evidently held a major sway in the personal considerations of PKR’s Ketua Umum. Without consultation with PKR’s native leaders, Bawin was dropped. Such is ‘democracy’ in PKR.

The result of the by-election, as expected, was a major disaster to PKR’s attempts to make inroads into Sarawak Dayak native politics. PKR’s candidate was thrashed. He obviously did not enjoy the confidence of these intellectuals, who chose to stay away in protest against the evident highhandedness. As an excuse for their defeat, PKR went into its typical damage control mode in alleging, for instance, that the ballot boxes were switched while in helicopters. That’s just vintage PKR to ignore the elephant in the room.

In the post-mortem, if ever really there was one, the issue of Dayak leaders’ lack of influence in PKR’s decision-making in Sarawak was never even addressed. Batang Ai is one of the many things observed by these intellectuals which raised questions about native-issue priorities in PKR. They have since kept their distance from the party. PKR remains in their mind as a party that will perpetuate neo-colonial intentions in Sarawak. This is obvious for those who care to see.

Consequently, while those intellectuals were grappling to find a vehicle to voice out native dissatisfaction by natives themselves, SNAP’s re-registration was ordered by the courts. It is only natural therefore that SNAP became a magnet to these partyless native opposition leaders.

SARAWAK STATE ELECTIONS 2011

SNAP was and is very much in favour of an opposition electoral pact for obvious reasons. Now that the possibility of such a pact appears to be diminishing by the day, it is important that political observers and commentators are made aware of the following:

Negotiations

The opposition grouping has no chairman nor a fixed structure. Even then, it does not matter much to SNAP as to who takes the lead in convening negotiations between the four opposition parties (SNAP, PKR, DAP and PAS) as long as certain rules of political decency and civil negotiations are followed and that the management of the negotiations by whomsoever has the competency and the power to decide.

PKR took the mantle and in the same breath publicly announced that it will run in 53 seats and SNAP will be accorded only 3. It was as if the seats were for PKR to distribute. SNAP had no choice but to respond publicly that it intends to run in all of the native-majority seats numbering 29.

Negotiations commenced in a haphazard manner and much later than ideally possible. SNAP refuses to be marginalised and to underscore its seriousness and capacity to compete, declared publicly its 16 candidates for 16 named constituencies. A startled PKR came back to ‘offer’ 4 seats, instead of 3. SNAP responded to this infantile insult by announcing 11 more candidates for 11 more constituencies. Altogether totalling 27 seats.

PKR’s incompetency in leadership and management of the negotiations was obvious. There was no negotiation agenda and things were done by the seat of their pants and at their convenience. SNAP expected the first session would have been attended by decision-makers of all parties. There is no point in negotiating if the negotiators have no power or mandate to decide. Decisions from higher-ups must be obtained at the point of negotiation. That wasn’t the case with PKR. At all times, PKR insisted that the final decision would be made by KL after a negotiating position had been reached by the parties. To any seasoned negotiator, such a statement is already a ball-breaker.

We had also expected that the first order of the day was to get a consensus of the proportionate spread of the number of seats to be contested by each party in accordance to macro demographic factors which all four parties hold themselves to champion for. It was clear that DAP would run in Chinese-majority areas, PAS in a few Muslim-majority areas and PKR in Malay-Melanau areas, where they had concentrated their efforts in the past decade for better or for worse. SNAP, being a multiracial party but traditionally a Dayak-based one, will contest in the native-majority areas. It was only in the mixed areas that overlapping claims will have to be resolved through negotiations.

But PKR having suddenly realised that native issues could be the determining issues in the coming elections, and still hung-over from the ecstasy of the 2008 electoral tsunami in the peninsular, thought that by placing their candidates in these native constituencies PKR can be the beneficiary of a Sarawak tsunami.

The opinion-makers and intellectuals who had fled to SNAP therefore fear that the beneficiary of native electoral dissatisfaction may be a national party that has shown in the last two years little sensitivity to the natives’ political predicament. They fear that Sarawak’s native problems, under PKR, will remain secondary to a grander federal plan of PKR’s national leaders. At worst, SNAP will never be able to be given back those constituencies by PKR.

If in fact PKR had made a positive impact in native constituencies and indeed enjoyed native support, by putting in hard work in building up an articulation of native dissatisfaction, the results would have been evident. But instead, PKR had never won nor come close to winning a native-majority seat in 3 federal elections and 2 state elections in the 12 years of their existence in Sarawak. In fact, a number of their candidates lost their deposits. So much for PKR’s desire to contest in 53 seats.

The second order of the day would be for the negotiating parties to consider the ‘winnability’ of their candidates as a basis for their allocation of the overlapping seats. Till this very moment, the ‘conductor’ of the negotiations themselves has not sorted out their own internal selection problems as to who runs where. They fear that if they make representations of the winnability of a particular candidate, it may incur the wrath of another party member also aspiring to be the candidate for the same area.

Out of this fear and indiscipline, it is PKR’s practice that their candidates list is only completed on the eve of nomination day so that those among their members who have lost out will not have options but to play along. Knowing this, SNAP decided that it would not be encumbered by PKR’s internal deficiencies. SNAP announced its candidates way ahead of time to give them a head start in going to the ground in the vast constituencies to familiarise the voters with their candidacy.

What is the Status Quo?

To date, SNAP has announced its decision to run in 27 of the 29 native-majority seats. It has refrained from contesting in the remaining 2 seats in deference to the work done by and its support for two PKR native leaders. In a gesture of goodwill and in recognition of the winnability factor, these concessions are made. The truth is that PKR has no other native leaders of their calibre and SNAP’s candidates in the 27 seats will be at par, if not better than PKR’s candidates.

As it has always maintained, SNAP will be happy to be a part of an electoral pact if it is allowed to contest in the said 27 constituencies. However, should there be a free for all, SNAP has the capacity and candidates to contest up to 40 seats. That is an option that it will take only if there is no more rules of engagement among the opposition parties.

Finances

Opposition supporters are hoping, and SNAP along with them, that the natives in a bold decisive move will act with political maturity and courage to invoke an electoral tsunami. It is indeed high expectations.

However, it is disheartening to note that while such a lofty commitment is expected of natives, the possibility that their commitment might extend to financing the election campaign that they favour is strangely dismissed by these commentators. On this premise, SNAP is maliciously accused of conspiring with BN in order to get political funding. Such accusations are insulting to SNAP and are the furthest from the truth.

These commentators underestimated and underrated successful natives as people who cannot put money where their hearts are. In the last few months, SNAP has been inundated with monetary contributions from well-to-do natives working abroad. Perhaps these commentators have stereotyped natives to the point that it is unthinkable to them, for example, that a native petroleum engineer working in the Middle East and earning US$ 25,000 a month and who is moved by the plight of his community, will contribute up to RM100,000 to SNAP’s election campaign.

SNAP needs money badly but it also realises that an efficient and honest campaign will not be too dependent on huge campaign budgets.

Quality of Candidates

It has been mentioned that SNAP’s candidates are of the quality that can be bought over once elected. It is as if there is a fail-proof formula to prevent this. At SNAP, we humbly submit that we have dealt with this issue on a ‘best-effort’ basis. It is only those who have not gone through the rigours of election management that wishfully think a watertight formula is ever possible. By the same token SNAP would like to hear those people who doubt the integrity of our candidates, if it is at all possible, to attest their supreme confidence that candidates of PKR or any of the other opposition parties will not jump ship once elected.

SNAP’s list of candidates is multiracial in nature. It comprises young professionals and also a good mix of Dayak nationalists with experience far beyond those of the commentators.

Conclusion

Let the voters decide. SNAP respects the opinions of others as their right to voice out opinions in a democracy. By the same token, SNAP reserves its right to its own political action without having to be accused of treachery and all the other tales that make interesting gossip at the teh tarek stalls.

SNAP urges that before certain presumptions are made, basic empirical research should be done that goes beyond mere rhetoric and wishful thinking.

Like everybody else in this state, we wish to unseat the Taib regime. But we will do it in a manner that safeguards Sarawakian and Dayak control over their own affairs and destiny, and avoid jumping out of the pot into the fire. Our words are based on actual experience but we certainly welcome learned comments and guidance from armchair politicians made in good faith.

God bless the people of Sarawak.

Why MCLM has severed ties with SNAP

Taken From Peoples Parliament

I reproduce the press statement released at the MCLM press conference this morning.

__________________________________________

On 16th February, 2011, MCLM announced the formation of a strategic alliance with the Sarawak National Party (SNAP), the objective being to lay the foundation of a concerted effort to, firstly, end the plight of the marginalized Sarawakians by ending Barisan Nasional and Chief Minister Taib Mahmud’s 30-year reign of pillage in Sarawak in the soon-to be held state elections and, secondly, to establish a pro-rakyat federal government post the 13th General Election and begin the process of restoring the nation to the rakyat.

In late February, during a meeting with the SNAP leadership in Kuching, MCLM had, in keeping with its drive to improve the quality of candidates offered to oppose BN candidates in the state elections, as well as to empower citizens to be effective agents of change and reform, offered to assist SNAP in screening the prospective candidates of SNAP as well as organising polling agent/counting agent training for its members.

Whilst the SNAP leaders had, then, enthusiastically accepted this offer of help, leading us to arrange for the training to take place in Miri on 19th March, 2011, developments over the last two weeks have led us to the irresistible conclusion that there was little sincerity, if any, on the part of the SNAP leaders in ever wanting to achieve the stated objectives of the alliance as aforesaid.

Towards the end of the second week of March, without proffering any reasons, we were informed by SNAP that the training was cancelled until further notice.

Then, on 15th March, 2011, we received information that SNAP would, on the following day, be announcing the names of 16 candidates to contest in the state elections even though, until then, we had not been given the full details of any of those candidates to be screened.

On 16th March, 2011, SNAP did indeed announce the details of 16 candidates, none of whom, as far as we know, had been screened to ensure capability and integrity.

Intelligence reports from our operatives in Sarawak have confirmed our worst fears: many of the 16 candidates are regarded as high-risk, integrity-wise.

Over the last few days, we also received reports that the SNAP candidates and some of their ‘privileged’ leaders had suddenly come into significant funds that were being made available by operatives from Kuala Lumpur acting under the directions of BN.

On 22nd March, 2011, SNAP announced the names of another 11 candidates.

Again, information we have received of these latest candidates is not favourable.

It must be stressed here that the action by SNAP to renege on an arrangement to screen all potential candidates, and to now announce candidates of questionable integrity, without more, makes the continuation of the alliance quite untenable, as we have at all times made clear our insistence that only candidates of unquestionable integrity are to be offered to serve the rakyat in the state assemblies and Parliament.

On 23rd March, 2011, reports in the news portals Sarawak Report and Free Malaysia today confirmed the information that we had received last weekend that SNAP was receiving funding from Barisan Nasional and had entered into an alliance with BN to keep the latter in power in Sarawak.

We have since sought from the leaders of SNAP some cogent and convincing reasons for their actions, and a rebuttal of the most serious allegation that they are now working in concert with BN to undermine efforts to bring about a regime change in Sarawak but, regrettably, none has been forthcoming.

For these reasons, we are, with immediate, effect, severing our alliance with SNAP.

We also call on the people of Sarawak to exercise their vote wisely in the coming state elections and to reject the overtures of BN and its allies, both open and concealed.

Oh antu, sinu aku meda kitai Iban. Selalu “nyamai belaya dulu ari belaya ila”. Tu meh utai ti kedeka sida Mamut & BN. Tak digiga sida bala parti pemangkang belaya. Tang sayau bala kitai Iban ba SNAP lalu enda mereti.

Baru manah manah PKR mai perau ke ulih ditepan kitai Iban ngicha ke ulih meruan.

Baru datai sida semenanjung mai panjong ngicha ke kitai Iban tau merengung. Enda mukai mukai ga SNAP mai terabai nyilat penatai sida ari seberai.

Tak kerah kerah sida SNAP ngumbai diri udah nyadi manah lalu tau mai pengubah ngasuh kitai Iban badu bepechah.

Nama tuju SNAP bakatu. Sapa enda nemu SNAP nadai duit, tang diatu nyau madah bisi orang sponsor. Reti nya enti nadai orang sponsor, nadai meh SNAP. Baka leka jako orang putih SNAPPED – patah. Uji peda bala sida calon SNAP, berapa iko ia ke bisi duit mimit. Kemayuh agi nya tak kering. Mayuh kapa kapa. Engka amat sekeda ari sida nya ila bisi utai ulih, tang kemayuh agi menik menik aja mata.

Ukai ku ka bejai sida SNAP, peda Edwin Dundang, nadai ga duit, Stanley Jugol, nadai ga duit. Bakani ka nyadi President etc. Candidate pan nadai sida. Ia ke temu aku sekeda bala SNAP mayuh betalipaun ngagai candidate PKR ngasuh sida nya melompat. Bakani tu ka nyadi. Uji sida SNAP anang beguai mayuh macham. Deliver first perau Pemangkang, nya baru berunding. Enti SNAP menang kerusi 16 + 20 + ? = 40. Pelaba aku nadai jalai. BN nemu, enti one-to-one fight, peluang BN alah endang besai. Tang enti 3 tauka 4 calon belaban, berani aku betui BN menang. YOU CAN CUT MY THROAT ko YB Gabriel Adit ba Batang Ai suba.

Amat munyi ko jako kaban siko. It takes a few Dayaks to kill a million Dayaks. Ko James Brooke, it needs A DAYAK TO KILL A DAYAK. Bakani kati, pengawa SNAP tu meh nganchur ke harapan kitai Iban. Enti ulih, for the sake of Iban/Dayaks anang meh sida beguai demand mayuh seats. Nya ga udah di perandau ke sida suba.

Peda PBB, ngumbai PKR bam, lapa sida enda meri mayuh agi seat ngagai PRS, SPDP enggau mayuh agi post ngagai kitai Dayak ba PBB. Sida semina nemu nganu PKR, tang sayau SNAP kena panjuk.
