MANEK URAI | Rude and Crude - BN stole oil and gas from Kelate

Notice Petronas' off-shore oil drilling platform on the RM50 piece

PAS won back Kelantan from BN in 1999. On the dawn of the millennium, instead of an epochal promise of hope and prosperity RM1.0 million was yanked off from the State's income. The reason was obvious.

The very same UMNO people who had robbed Kelantan of their natural resources are not content to sit quietly on this but enjoyed the sufferings of the rakyat in the State. They had to employ, with our taxes, the Government's media machinery to flood mischievious spins of how PAS has twiddled their thumbs doing nothing for the State.

What does it take to be "gemilang and terbilang" and progressive and liberal when you steal from people and openly deride them for the miseries you caused? You remember pirate and robber chiefs did that in history but not on the dawn of the millenium. If there are people who need their hands cut off, it's those people who stole from Kelantan!

If the Manek Urai voters are hopeful despite biting the bullet in these hard times, there's good reason to hope. Their unrelenting struggle is about justice and fairness. The UMNO people are not doing any soul searching. They could have "lupa" they had any.

There's just one question - what took Kelantan so long to demand what is theirs? As they say, there's the right moment for the right thing to do!

Had dinner with old school friends last night at Topspot, Kuching.

It's great getting together with school friends. Dish choice was restrained for "old boys" but the steamed fish was good. Love steam fish anytime and everytime! Gettogethers like this are also uplifting, invigourating. Great fun!



Other than that it's always the present that send you contemplating. There was no "loose" change! Talk was about "big" stuff! This rigour should add to the swell for more, come September!

Incredible how ugly the media spin is. The things you heard from Kelantan in the MSM is pure dung! Interesting how Kelantan residents got back together after the election regardless of whatever. It seems the reason why BN cannot get back, more likely will never get the State back is because of their folksy fairness and virtuousnes.

Must make a trip there to the feel and witness!

The change on the political scene has given a great sense of anticipation amongst us, and doubtless many more out there in Sarawak. It's happening in our life time and we want to see it through, reminiscent of Brutus in Julius Caesar:

"...
We at the height are ready to decline.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures. ..."

(Julius Caesar Act IV Scene III)

It's incredible what the State Civil Service has degraded into as heard over carrot juices, "kopi o" ice and Guiness Stout! Taib Mahmud was depicted like a slob directing public officials to his in-laws; this is governance in Malaysia Boleh! The present Sarawak Civil Service is in the hands of punks who glibly bullshit in serious meetings. We are really at the " 'height' ready to decline"!

There was no mistake in the discerning fervence. And it colors the hope and the reawakening!
