Your children’s future and politics
Written by William Leong ( PKR member)
All Malaysians are duty bound to help each other to achieve a better life in our country. With the performance of the UMNO/BN for the last 52 years, especially the last 28 years, the country has been raped by politicians and their cronies. You know how arrogant they are, let us have look.
What you see in Malaysia today
1. They are extending the APs to 2015. They are giving themselves free money. This is daylight robbery. We are talking big bucks, billions
2. The taxes and duties on cars continue to be high to protect Proton but we the public pay through our nose. If the PR government comes into power we can
expect prices to drop by at least 50% for imported cars. Why are we paying these cronies our hard earned money so that they can drive around in their new and latest Ferraris, BMWs etc.
3. Have you noticed that they appoint themselves to high paying jobs and positions where they can also earn additional side income. Again these side income run into billions.
4. The Accountant General reported that RM 28B was wasted by you know who and for who. These figures probably do not involve the highly secretive arms contracts which run into billions.
5. Look at the way they snatched the Perak State government.
6. Look at the way they treated Teoh Beng Hock
7. Look at the way they are trying to get Anwar
8. Look at the Lingam’s Royal Commission
9. Look at the PKFZ delaying tactics, get one report after another, and then another and if necessary another and then only the small fish get caught and hauled to Court.
Who is stupid?
What a way to fool us? Either they are stupid or we are stupid. The abuse and cheating has been going on for far too long. Only you and I and together with all Malaysians who care can stop them. Between now and the next General Elections we have to campaign now as if the GE is just 6 months from now. Not only do we campaign, we must get our friends to get others and others to do the same. Let us not be fooled again and again.
Make the Change
Please start now, if 10 of us can each get 10 we will have 100 and if each of the hundred gets 10 we will have 1000. If we keep going, we will reach more than 10M active Malaysians to force a change. This is a legacy we must give our children/grandchildren, they deserve better. The alternative is too horrendous to look at.
Look at Indonesia, Japan, S. Korea and Taiwan, all their old and corrupt parties have been replaced, Malaysia is next.
What Independence?
On this August 31st, we shall celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the British leaving our country. I did not say we are celebrating the 52nd anniversary of our independence. This is because our people have not enjoyed real liberty, democracy or justice. Without liberty,democracy or justice there is no independence.. In these 52 years the oppressive rule of a foreign colonial master has been replaced by the oppressive rule of a local master.
They rule with an iron fist.
They use the same instruments of oppression as the British did. They use the ISA, the Sedition Act, the Printing Press & Publications Act and detention without trial. The freedom of assembly, the freedom of expression and the freedom to live a life of dignity free from fear and oppression are illusions. In these 52 years the yoke of a foreign colonial master has been replaced by the yoke of a local master. They use the same policy of “divide and rule”. They survive by feeding off racialism. They survive by fostering divisiveness. They survive by preaching religious intolerance.
Fight against corruption and oppression
What Teoh Beng Hock died for Malaysians will not know real independence, will not be free and will not enjoy democracy unless this oppressive regime is thrown out. They must be thrown out just like Teoh Beng Hock was thrown out from the 14th floor of the MACC office. We must not forget Teoh Beng Hock. We must not forget what he stood for. More importantly, we must not forget what he died for. He lived to help Malaysians in the struggle against corruption and oppression. He died so that our struggle can live. He died fighting for justice.
What Justice?
Without justice we cannot say we have liberty or democracy or equal rights. We cannot say we have liberty or freedom when Tamil schools have no tables and chairs. When in Sabah and Sarawak, schools have no electricity. A child that is illiterate is not free. We cannot say we have democracy or equal rights for women, when a Chinese girl with 9A1s cannot enter a university.. A girl without a job has no rights. We cannot say we have freedom of choice when a man cannot feed his family.
A starving man has no choice.
Liberty, democracy and freedom are meaningless words when there is no justice. Justice is political liberty. Justice is economic independence. Justice is equality. There is no political liberty when you vote out of fear. There is no economic independence when you give your support out of fear your son’s scholarship will be withdrawn or your license will be withdrawn.
There is no freedom of choice when you elect a party out of fear for your contract or your business. This is what has been happening in these 52 years and this will continue if we do not act. There will be many more Teoh Beng Hocks and many more Port Klang Free Zones if we do not stop them.
What One Malaysia ? Najib says he wants One Malaysia.
Teoh Beng Hock’s death has shocked us back to reality. We cannot just listen to rhetoric. We must look at the deeds. When we look, we see what has been done, is a far cry from what has been said. The Perak government has been stolen from its people. Najib has now declared his intention to grab the Selangor government.
The MACC is a tool.
It is used to de-stabilize the Pakatan Rakyat government. Teoh Beng Hock was interrogated throughout the night. He was grilled for buying RM2,400 worth of Malaysian flags. No one has been grilled when PKFZ loss RM12.6 billion.
The MACC officers are raiding the Pakatan Exco members’office so often they are becoming fixtures. Cars and cows and Malaysian flags have become a fixation of the MACC.
MACC has not shown the same enthusiasm when it comes to BN assemblymen who used up their annual allocation of RM500,000 in 2 months before the general elections.
The MACC has also not shown any interest in the trips by the former Chief Minister and his family to study the river system in Disney Land.
There is no investigation into how the former Chief Minister can afford to purchase a multi-million ringgit mansion that is beyond the means of a chief minister’s salary. Barisan Nasional machinery is now on the move.
Books attacking Anwar Ibrahim and Khalid Ibrahim are being distributed.
The authors of these books are sowing the seeds of hatred and contempt. They desecrate the Hindu’s sacred cow in a protest filled with bigotry..
They protest against a Hindu temple built 150 years ago when the area was a plantation that today, just like its devotees, the estate workers, had been left behind by development.
They have forgotten Muslims were invited to practice their religion amongst the people of Yathrib. They are beating the drums of race and religion and the tone is becoming harsher with each beat.
The people must now decide.
There cannot be any fence sitters. There is no middle ground.
When Teoh Beng Hock was thrown out, the people of Malaysia was thrown together with him into the sea of political troubles. Whether Malaysia will sink or swim is now up to the people. The people must decide once and for all what is right and what is wrong. There cannot be a neutral ground.
Dante said: “The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis.”
Today in Malaysia there is no place for neutrality.
Malaysians must make their choice now. If we want to know what is evil and what is right, we must use our moral compass. It is only when we know the direction where justice lies can we know where we must stand. Do we want to choose liberty and justice which are always right or do we want to choose corruption, hatred, arrogance and oppression which are always wrong?
The choice is clear. Every Malaysian must make his stand. When you stand for liberty we stand with you.
I want to tell you that when you stand for liberty, we will stand with you. When you defend democracy, we will be your shield. When you fight for justice, we will be your sword. We will always be with you.
They assaulted Anwar Ibrahim.
They threw him in jail for 6 long years. They call him a traitor and worse. But Anwar will always be here to fight for you.
They hounded and harassed Lim Kit Siang. They detained him in Kamunting.. But Lim Kit Siang will always be here to stand by you.
They attacked Tok Guru Nik Aziz and tried to humiliate him. But Tok Guru Nik Aziz will always be here to protect you.
We have been tested. They have thrown everything they have at us but we are still standing and we are still here.
BERSEH
We were here in November 2007 when a sea of yellow marched for a free and fair election. This was *BERSIH*.. We were here in December when thousands in orange marched for equality. This was *Makal Sakthi*.This was the ripple that started the tsunami. Barisan Nasional was swept out of 5 states. Since then Barisan Nasional has become more extreme in their policies. They have become more brutal with the people. When we Hope So on 1st August, the lovers of justice and liberty marched again. Again Barisan Nasional responded with violence and brutality. 638 people including women and children were arrested. Despite the police shutting down the city, despite the many road blocks and barricades, despite the arrest of those wearing black, the number who succeeded in gathering far exceeded my expectations.
My Hope for Malaysia is Bigger
But the size of the gathering cannot be bigger than my hope for Malaysia. My hope is for every one that braved the tear gas and water cannons there will be many thousands more.
We want hundreds of thousands to march with us. We will march from under the shadow of fear into the light of justice. My hope is that the flame burning in each who gathered that day will kindle the hearts and minds of many thousands more. Malaysians will find the courage to standup for principles and convictions.
We must stand up for what is right. This is my hope and this is the hope of all Malaysians.
Truth, Love and Justice will prevail
Truth, love and justice will prevail over the forces of hate and oppression. This will only happen when the silent majority refuses to remain silent anymore. This will only happen when the voice of the majority is finally heard. We must be confident that oppression and corruption cannot endure. We must take comfort that truth and justice will always prevail. But this can only be achieved if we fight for it.
We must fight today for a better tomorrow.
Looking Back in the Future Do not let our children look back and say that these are dark days. Let them say that these are great days. These are the most glorious days that our country ever had. These days will be remembered as the days when we were called, we answered. We stood up. We stood together shoulder to shoulder irrespective of race or religion. We fought and we prevailed. Each of us played our part according to our strengths.
Conclusion
Our children and their children will look back on these days and celebrate it as the days we became *ONE NATION*. These days will be etched in our Nation’s history as the days we won over injustice and oppression.
These will be the days we celebrate *THE TRUE MERDEKA.*

The issues listed in the article are not directly related to Swak. We wish to see Sarawakian issues being listed as such to be tackled by the next govt like PR.
Changop, John Jamban, Telaga Kumang, dayaklama, what say you?
Are you going to say the article is misleading too?
Judging from the facts in the above article, is BN government is fair to all Malaysians?
JS,
You mean to say, whatever that is happening to Malaysia, will not happen to Sarawak and has no impact to Sarawak? Are you living in this country? If you are, I think you’re blind and deaf, perhaps not mute.
I really wonder, because you are saying, whatever that happens to our country, Sarawak will not be impacted by it. Wow, if Sarawak is so well protected from events that’s happening around the country, then ALL Malaysian citizens want to live in Sarawak, because Sarawak is immune.
Merry Christmas.
By whatever reason it is,we must not forget that our children and the next GENERATION will inherit this Country from us and it is our RESPONSIBILITY to safeguard a better Future for them.
If we have been OPRESSED,SURPRESSED and DEPRESSED in the past,now is the HIGH TIME for us wake up,stand up and fight for our right.
Do not let the PAST FAILURE FAILED US IN THE FUTURE.We might had FALL in the past but PAST IS PAST,the FUTURE is there full of uncertainties and its our DUTY to CLEAR THE PATH for the NEAXT GENERATION
Absolutely right, we never deny the fact that politics plays a significant role in determining where our future lies. Angkat meh revolutionize our political stand in SARAWAK! Kita ke bisi influence nya meh …melaung ka ‘Battle cry’. Penemu kami tu enda diguna orang laban nadai dikelelala, nadai kuasa. Penemu bisi sebagai orang ti graduate tang bedau deka angkat laban agi ngatur pengidup diri dulu baru ngatur orang bukai…..Get that in mind DJB. Anang semina rhetoric aja tang orang kampung nadai bisi access ngagai internet, suara kita enda tentu didinga semua kitai Dayak. That is our weakness deka educate, nyebar penemu ngagai bansa ti jauh ba interior!!!$$$$$
We dayaks especially Ibans are too complacent, too ego, nadai betempat. Ngemesai ke diri kerja ke tasik, gaji besai tang menoa diri, tanah enda dipeduli. Disewa, digadai ngagai cina enggau bekebun sayur. Cina untung tang kitai nama??? Nadai cekal penemu, terlalu ka jolly. Lagu ‘Rungu Ensing’ nya mempengaruhi minda masyarakat kitai. So…lagu kitai ulih mencorak budaya, mentaliti kitai bansa. There are still lots of things to sort out among the dayaks community. Unfulfilled agendas, and lacking in many aspects. Sorry for the annoying comments folk! Merry X’MAs, God Bless us and a HP New Year!
Perhaps DL/js/KOT etc. can elaborate few facts on Dayak agendas under Sarawak BN and which agenda has not been fulfilled (if any).
What is your stand DJB? It’s christmas and Years passed-by, We are getting older and our struggle is still vague and does not seems to fulfill the expectation of our own rakyat…what is our political stand? This is an awakening calls for our politician….dont be to idle, naive and corrupt. We are furious and impatient!!!Lest we forget, what good have we done in the face of God????
Anang kelalu comment tentang sida Lim Kit Siang…DSAI, urang nya parasite, they does make sense to the struggle of the Dayaks in Sarawak. Why not get Idris Jala to do something extraordinary for sarawak or be the Sarawak Chief Minister to-be! Opportunity lies and its wise for us to manipulate the issues pertaining to our struggle. So Why wait?? Time and tide wait for no man”

Tu baru idea manah. Isu ba menoa Swak. Anang kelalu bejako pasal utai di Smemenanjung din.
CC, all I mean is to talk about local issues in Swak. It seems you have over-viewed my comment.
John Hock, I’m a fence sitter interested in knowing the thruth only after discusssing or debating Dayak issues. So I could tell you about the Swak BN Dayak agenda.
One suggestion by me to plant garu tree to produce Dayak millionares in response to Dr. John’s write up but it seems rejected by Dr. John’s human-sheilds like CC.
Sorry, I mistyped the NOT here ie it should be : So I could NOT tell you about the Swak BN Dayak agenda.
Tabi Kaban Blogger (attn JS),
Selamat Hari Xmas.
Nama kaban kitai JS nadai ari enjoy xmas. Ba blog tu semina comment ia aja beturut2 tiap jam, tang orang lain enjoy xmas. Anang kelalu bakanya bakih. Maia WW1 &WW2 semua orang ngetu enda lama beperang leboh xmas. Tu lah maia kitai enjoy xmas.
Nya aja kaban
Telaga Kumang,
Kitai beperang enda ngira ujan, ribut atau cuti
enti agenda kitai bedau bisi tercapai selagi nya meh kita deka berjuang. Indah sida Taliban, Al-qaeda ba Iraq nadai ngira ari rami diau ba padang pasir, gua. Sida nya baru dikumbai kitai ‘true warriors’ laban ke ngetan menoa diri. Tang kitai tu beperang ba dunia Cyber, tu meh cara kita berperang cara alaf baru[Cyber warefare] Sama meh kita nyikap anak kita enggau penemu ICT ari diatu ngambi sida ulih nyambung perjuangan kitai.

OOi – Telaga kumang – kita Dayak PBB kah? Kamek orang kuching selalu mikir bodohnya Dayak PBB. Sida suka belagak besar, tapi otak si’ ada. Sida Dayak lain ok semua bah. Sida tau mun nyukong PBB memang lah agenda kamek orang kuching. Peduli Dayak PBB – bukan sida pande cari duit – minta tolong selalu pakae’ mayar sewa rumah, hantar anak sekolah. Lepas iya madah Dayak lain si beguna – diri empun apa lah – serba serbi si ada. Kamek orang Kuching diam aja lad asal Dayak keda tu nyukong agenda kamek orang Kuching – ok lah.
Agenda kita laut nang sik kamek peduli sebab kitak dah dibagi Tabib mamut makan kenyang. Pegi tangkap ikan terubok aja kita. Kerja kebun sik pande macam kamek Dayak,Tanah di kampung banyak agi molah kebun dapat idup. Ahli politik Melayu kedak Noruden Majais perampok Tanah. Mun kita sik dapat ngukum…sik apa Tuhan ada nanga mun dah sampe ajal kelak.
Who is William Leong (PKR member).DB consider him as Dayak leaders? No not me! How much can he contribute to Dayaks cause? Why invite him to DB forum and NOT our very own Dayak Paramount Chief? How much had Leong contributed to Dayak society? He much be thinking that the Dayaks still live on tree top.!
Fella Bloggers & DB,
They threw him in jail for 6 long years. They call him a traitor and worse. But Anwar will always be here to fight for you.
——————————————–
DB should always be on the alert. Now that DSAI is free, he is here to terrorize you back-side. The surest way to keep your virginity intact is to stay away from PKR and DSAI.
See for yourself, open your eye and ears DJB.
I agree with Tr. Jipun. Enti kitai ngumbai diri orang intellectuals tang minda kitai agi dijajah endang nadai guna meh perjuangan kitai.
DSAI is good at psychological game, fighting for his personal agenda. Even his ‘numbong case’ is still unsettled. He is not sincere to the struggle of the Sarawakians. Bear that in mind DJB.
BN&PR …not sincere, not relevant to the Dayak agenda, after independance we have been sidelined in term of Education, Economy and Politics. Try a different political reformation for us in Ssarawak. Let PCM capture Sarawak and let the Dayaks be the CM….no more Tabib please, your rhetoric and your magic wand is neutralised already. Gelombang pembangunan ke2/ SCORE nguntung ke sida laut aja….propoganda Tabib nya! What is yr prespective on this issue DJB?????
I feel enough have been said and shared within this blog regarding the ‘Allah’ issue. What is left is: ‘WHAT CAN,OR WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT if KDN and UMNO succeed in their appeal against the High Court’s earlier decision!?
Well,…the churches and their legal team will try to do what is within their power to do,…i.e to hold on to the High Court’s earlier decision. CAN they do it!!??
Our Christian ministers and YBs are(rather pessimistically)expected to ’slow-talk’to KDN and their UMNO counterpart,asking to maintain the High Court’s decision,fearing serious backlash come the 13th.General Election or State Elections,and…..
………………thats when you and I can play OUR parts.
