PBB, BN | Have they got voters by the balls?

The BN government of PM Najib, if it's creditbily is beyond reproach as he and Idris Jala maintain by the alphabet soup, could do one thing in the next election, or the coming GE. It's really for the better not for the opposition but for BN. Call for International Accredited Observers to come and see for themselves. Any shortcomings, which will be plenty with things as they were just recently, if exposed will only prompt action and a declaration to all and sundry, that there is credibility in the BN. In fact it would stymie any blackmail on BN top leaders by corrupt politicians. The rest of due diligience will wrap up everything.

One thing is certain, the forthcoming GE will be tougher. The tell tales are there. It will be a battle not of Malays against Non Malays. It will largely be Malays against Malays; Malays, Chinese and all sundry against corrupt Malays, Chinese, Dayaks, Indians in the BN

The Muara Tuang incident of the PBB candidate, by virtue of the election rules, who was not even reprieved but above reproach, is testimony of how corrupt SPR is. There might be some little tinder of credibility had the BN candidate been any other person but the brother of the CM Taib

Soon after official declared closure of polling on 16 April, SPR Chairman went on air chiding that no-one should communicate any info out of the vote counting location. To that, he added he too, knew what politics was about. That was an unconscious betrayal of a highly suspected person. In this age and time, it belies the extent to which despotism is still ripe in Malaysia. A public servant secure of his own integrity would have noted that as a trifle, after all the final call is from his Office whether false, incorrect or malicious information was transmitted out.

Other incidents of bribery have been documented by SarawakReport.Org.

Evidence of Police intimidation is aplenty.

Despite the little successes of voter flight from BN and the comforting analyses, the coming GE will not make significant changes for reforms. It will be like a salami assault on national integrity. "Things as they are" and with the same misdeeds unrectified, the BN will win again.

It would be a constructive effort if SarawakReport will proceed with their representations to the UN.

SarawakReport.org calls it mass disenfranchisement by Taib and BN. I say the PBB and BN got rural voters by their balls.

We couldn't we get any further in the recent Sarawak Elections. They got us all by the balls. The rural people got intimidated and the BN got their souls.
