The word on the ground is that ‘Anwar and the rests of the Peninsular Opposition Political Leaders will be denied entry into Sarawak.” This is also a way of making BN losing its credibility as this malaysiakini report http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/96012 is as good as saying,” BN facing an uphill task in retaining the 60 percent of Chinese support it had enjoyed during the last general election.” Why..? Many reasons will point out to that as the report suggests BUT banning Anwar from Sarawak will not be the WISEST JUDGEMENT from any BN leader let alone blaming it on the instructions of the CM Taib.
A former political secretary said,” Sarawak is behind 10 years from Peninsular Politics and 40 years behind USA”. Our mindset has got to change and he hopes it does as this is a CHEAP WAY of PUSHING the opposition agenda by blaming the ruling government. Using the immigration autonomy of the State..?? Come on, this will only make the people more unhappy and will also result in ABH..In criminalogy term ‘actual body harm” but he puts it “ADooo Barisan Habisss”
The local tabloids are playing up the ‘No entry of Anwar’ as he will be making his maiden appearance as the Sarawak State liason chief at todays 400 tables function,”Friends of PKR dinner” ushering in the New Year. The BN government will not stoop so low says another political analyst. Word has it even the Padawan Council are rendering its services in providing ‘Mobile toilets” for the expected crowds usage. of course its not free as the organising committee are paying for it.
This spells good for democracy as everyone has been pointing fingers that BN will use all its might and come down hard on spoiling or the dreaded word”SABOTAGE” the event. The persistent rainfall which has hit the state in the last 48 hours has not dampened even the outstation PKR members from driving and making their way to Kuching not welcome Anwar but also ushering in together with all their friends in PKR.
All is ready for the big event and the programmes have been lined up accordingly but PKR has to respect the law too with the permit only given up till 11.30pm as the function is within the vicinity of a residential area says a police spokesman. We are are looking at an incident free political function he further added.
It’s PKR show today and BN will have theirs too………….
