Another thing
which we need to process in order to understand Malaysian opposition is that
every mistake which is done by Barisan Nasional leaders would be okay of it is
done by their own leaders. For example, it is okay for Nik Aziz to be in power
until the day he dies, but it is wrong for Tun Mahathir to stay as Prime
Minister any longer, or for Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud to keep on leading
Sarawak for more than 30 years.
Now, Tun Mahathir
has retired, leaving Malaysia on top, with highest respect, and admired by the
world. And Taib Mahmud still in power, has proven continuous commitment and his
abilities to develop Sarawak other than ensuring the peace and well-being of its
rakyat.
However, Nik Aziz
still refuse to retire even though he does not fulfil his tasks, other than
politics, constant ceramah as well as insulting people, for the past 20 years.
Even then, the
opposition never questioned him about why more than 10,000 acres of land were
given to DAP, about why Kelantan is still undeveloped, what happens to the
logging industry, or why can't the water supply issue be solved or why does
moral issue kept on getting worse? Instead, they only look for ways to tarnish
Tan Sri Taib Mahmud's image even though rakyat of Sarawak are living in peace
and prosperous.
It is clear, the
problem with the opposition is that they do not care about rakyat, all the care
is about the power which Taib Mahmud has and that they are hungry for it. It is
not too much to say that Taib Mahmud is one of Barisan Nasional's strongest
defence, resisting various forms of attacks for all these years.
Considering that
GE is coming close, it is not surprising why the attacks are coming back in.
This time around, it is not from the outside, it is from the inside, from Taib
Mahmud's cousin, Norlia Rahman, as a video showing a meeting about a project
involving foreign direct investment to describe as if there are elements of
corruption from Taib's side. The video was said that it was taken secretly,
without being realized by the characters in it.
The thing which
this videographer might have missed is that , this video can easily be argued
by looking at Norlia's background and understanding her motive. Norlia is the
daughter of Rahman Yakub who is Taib Mahmud's uncle. He was also Sarawak's
former Chief Minister and Governor.
The vengeance
which Norlia's family has against Taib Mahmud began as soon as Taib Mahmud
replaced her father as Chief Minister back in 1981. Then, Rahman Yakub was
listed to have 70% from logging license
at Lembahan Mewah via his daughters, while another 30% was owned by Datuk
Tajang Laing, ADUN Belaga. Taib Mahmud then revoked 30 of logging licenses
involving Abdul Rahman and claimed that his uncle had awarded 1.25 hectare
logging concession worth RM22.5 billion to himself, his family and relatives.
From there, the
feud between this family becomes bigger where in 1985, Taib once again offended
Rahman by sacking him from the post of Yang diPertua Negeri.
Rahman had his
chance to attack in 1987 which is known as ‘Ming Court Affairs 1987’ by raising
signatures from ADUN and led a group of Sarawak politicians who were
disappointed with Sarawak National Party (SNAP) and PBDS to gather at Ming
Court Hotel, Kuala Lumpur to urge on the proposal that they have lost their
confidence in Taib's leadership. However, Taib managed to detect the conspiracy
a lot earlier and he called for an emergency election and he barely won with 28
out of 48 seats which later adds to eight more seats from defected ADUN.
If Taib Mahmud
was unsure that his actions had offended his uncle was right, there is no way
that he would have settled this issue through election.
It seems like
Taib Mahmud's cousin, Norlia do not have the guts to face her cousin in the
right channel. Instead, she chooses to act, all to tarnish Taib;s image to
public.
If she speaks the
truth, why the act?
Supporting
Norlia's vengeance against Taib would be Norliz, the wife of former SNAP Vice
President, Datuk Justin Jinggut who is promoting himself to the highest place
for PKR Sarawak. Datuk Justin is also known to have close ties with Anwar
Ibrahim.
See, isn't it
easy to question the video?
However, if we
are rational, we would not have to go that far to see the genuineness of the
video. This is because, the act and situation of the video seem irrational.
There is no way such controversial big business deal would be discussed with a
stranger in such small hotel room, and friendly. Just look at how relaxed the
actors were as they mention the details between one person and another,
including the internal issues of Taib's family.
In short, the
body language, script and characters in the video clearly showed that this is a
planned.
That is why, our
message to the opposition, just for once, find real issues to go against BN.
Enough with your ridiculous acts because it is just sickening.
For once, face BN
like real men.
