Monarchy in Sarawak is possible
Taken from: Sarawak Report
Dayakbaru:
More seemingly crazy stories are coming out about Taib and his richest. This story talk about his son who later became MP and Federal Deputy Minister and resigned.
The support that the people gave to BN has been abused by Taib for his personal wealth. He talks and speak out things that Sarawakian love to hear. But Taib did all the things that damage Sarawak economy and retart its progress. Taib use money to control his BN component party members. Even UMNO is scared of Taib, not the least is NAJIB.
Remember, we Sarawakian are the people who put him to the position he is in today, by the same token we can bring him down by out voting his PBB people.
We must focus on this objective that is to bring down the person who rob Sarawak of its money to enrich himself. We have too many poor people and low quality of life in Sarawak. The root cause of our slow progress is Taib, so out with him and his cronies.
Bugatti buy-out plan
Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib wanted to buy out Bugatti, manufacturers of the world’s most expensive cars, to add to the family’s ‘hundred businesses’, according to one of his close college friends. However, his Dad, Abdul Taib Mahmud, described as ‘Malaysian Monarchy’ by Rahman’s pal, was less enthusiastic. The Chief Minister, who clearly controls the family purse strings, vetoed the plan. It had taken Rahman a week to get an audience with his Dad in order to discuss the idea.
The disclosures about Rahman Taib (as he was known in the US) come in an on-line article for the Bugatti Review by Kevin C Limjoco, who was a college friend of Rahman’s in San Francisco and a member of his fast set in the States. Taib’s younger son clearly acted the part of a multi-millionaire playboy during his period in San Francisco, according to this and other reports, and was a notorious fast car fanatic. Conversely, business associates say he failed to show any business acumen when put in charge of the secretive Taib property company in the US, Sakti International.
A playboy with violent passions
The article in the on-line ‘Bugatti Review’ gives a telling insight into how the Taib family are regarded by onlookers abroad, namely as jett-setting multi-millionaires akin to Arab Princes or Sultans of Brunei. On one occasion, it is known that in a fit of passion young Rahman even smashed up one of his classic cars, a million dollar Bugatti, with a fire extinguisher. However, his father clearly forgave the incident as he subsequently recalled his son to Sarawak, where he inherited his father’s seat in the Federal Parliament and was recently appointed Deputy Tourism Minister, a job he has now mysteriously abandoned.
Worryingly, there seems no recognition in Taib circles abroad that in fact the Chief Minister of Sarawak is merely a salaried employee of the State, on a modest income and subject to regular elections to office. The concept of the Chief Minister as a ‘Godfather’ figure behind a hundred businesses is even more disturbing, not least because it is undoubtedly true.
As the political figure in charge of governing Sarawak, Abdul Taib Mahmud has no right to be involved in business ventures, primarily because this would clash with his official duties and create conflicts of interest. It is for this reason that Taib has always maintained the facade of a family active in business. Now that we know that he is indeed in control of the money and keeps his family at his beck and call, he should openly declare his activities and publicise all his interests immediately.
A suitable successor?
Despite his playboy record, youthful Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib has often been touted as a likely successor to his ailing and aged father. Thus, while Taib Mahmud has started to visibly crumble in the face of recent political failures and exposure for political corruption, the Taib political circles are clearly looking at immediate family to succeed, as if Sarawak were indeed a Monarchy to be passed from father to son, rather than a democratic state of Malaysia, which is its official status. It is this attitude that is likely to turn a normal political handover into a succession crisis for Sarawak.
Conclusion
Change WE Must. A large percentage of our Sarawak people are struggling to put food on the table and have their children complete basic education level SPM. Yet we have as Chief Minister a person who plunder our country’s wealth and make it his own. He did not stop at that. He made himself a self appoint monarch of sarawak.
The people who supported him, all wanted to have a small share of his wealth that he gives out to those who support him. Are we really that cheap so as to sell our community and soul to such a men just for our self benefit? Dayakbaru say NOto it!.

Inspirational word from gkm2020
Dr.John,
Anybody has read a novel of the rise and the fall of new york godfather?Remember gangster al Capone, Lucky Charles Luciano? Godfather John Gotti, Tiery Funzie and Nicky Scarpo was sentenced 100 years in jail under RICO,died in prison though.Only if our MACC functioning like it suppose to be, BUT i doubt it.
Najib …takut akan Taib.SPRM,POLIS….Taib Punya.So tunggu aje lah buah engkabang masuk keranda.
Kaban kaban,
Several years ago a PBB leader wrote an article on TM’s lineage direct from Saidina Ali who Muslims believe as SAW’s son-in-law.I think it was in the Sarawak Tribune.
May be ‘arah’ could help to elaborate on the issue.Whether there is any indication of royalty it is up to anybody’s guess.
Sebenarnya MACC nya mina ke lambang aja laban ba carta rasuah dunya,menoa Malaysia endang agi tinggi.nama fungsi BPR di tukar nyadi SPRM,sama aja laban perintah tetap mayar gaji sida ia.kecuali SPRM tu betul-betul mesti ngiga duit kediri empu baka syarikat swasta nya nyangka ia olih bisi fungsi.enda sida gawa tauka nadai tentu kes besai sida ia nadai income.
perati ke meh dia…
Four reports have been made to MACC against Taib. So, I urge the complainants of these four reports to do your homework to collect evidence and furnish them to MACC to build up their investigation files.
MACC officials are aware that their actions can be questioned by The Corruption Consultation and and Prevention Panels if they are not consistent in their actions.
DB,
Beside the report to MACC regarding Taib corruption, we can extend our report to ambassador of UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zeland even UN and ASEAN to seek a cooperation from these country handling this situation.
Bala Kaban.
I don’t think so. Nama kebuah bala kaban, laban menoa Sarawak tu majoriti mensia merinsa, enda iboh bejalai ke Rumah Panjai, belah pasar pan tugong mensia merinsa kaban. Minyak niki, gula niki tu ila maioh agi merinsa kaban.
Jauh ga udah pejalai aku kaban, enda iboh aku nyebut ba bukai, di Miri Kampung Pasir. Di Bintulu, Sibu, Kuching, Limbang etc tugong merinsa.
Majoriti bala tu ngasai ke pemerinsa 47 taun ke udah, begulai enggau perintah ke sama, semina ke agi ngetan kediatu bala IbanLama(TR,Pengulu,pemancha,konselor,bala aya ibu, aki ini ke enda nemu utai kaban) paut ko orang paut ga, wit ko orang wit sida ga.
Kitai mesti ingat diatu majoriti Rebak Baru, bisi sekula nemu ngelala bala sapa nyamai bala sapa merinsa.Ingat kaban idup tu baka roda kenu ko orang,bisi maya dibaroh dah kaban.Bisi maya mee segera ila enda laku kaban kaban.
Mupok kaban. Idup Iban Idup Dayak. OOhhaa….
Maybe the movie from Thailand named “Bangrajan” could give us good example on how determine the “village” people defense their land and properties from the invader
This senile old man is just a human being, same like us. If voters do not vote him anymore, he will end up in jail. Do not be afraid, justice on him before he goes to grave.
Long time ago, not Malaysia, but in land far away, they divided –
Sea Transport was taken by the man called Raja Mulan.
Land Transport was taken by a man called Raja Yana
Air transport was taken by a man called Raja Kudin.
Then the gods of the Soros and boros blew the west and north winds and the three empires collapsed.
In short: Man may plan to set a monarchy – but no, it will not happen.
