LESSON TO BE LEARNT

By : AMDEE SIDIK

SURE we learnt a few things judging from the results of Sarawak General Election, last night 16 April 2011.

For those visited the ground and observed what were said and did and perhaps later try to synchronize in logical sense from the result; mind boggling it is, but it’s Sarawak’s style!

In the end it Borneo’s matter prevails.

Yes, I do agree we’ve more than 1Malaysia as proved by DAP. But that doesn’t mean we, from both divides, ones are less patriotic to the country while the other are more.

Here is about ability to convey the message. The message about which way is the best way to save the country, in this case, very particular, which way is the best way to save the State of Sarawak, that must be in the mind of majority in Sarawakians.

There are many ways of saying as well as doing this. In Sarawak’s rural, no sophisticated techniques required, a mere whisper would do, because if they do openly it would back fire, see the results obtained by PKR which fielded 49 seats won only 3.

The DAP is different even though both are in Pakistan. DAP voters are from 2Malaysians. This group is fighting for the ‘Malaysian global’, while the other I could say is fighting for local, yet happily merged–unspoken or written agreement in as far as politics is concerned. It’s all about fighting injustices.

Injustices about treatment of State like Sarawak by the federal, was there a need to take swearing in hastily manner for Taib Mahmud? This wouldn’t happen in Sabah where everything else must come from Prime Minister and from KL.

To a point, it isn’t just Sarawakians, many Sabahan would agree no matter how disagree they’re with Taib Mahmud.

SNAP was squeezed, badly strategized, too late to rescue once becomes mash potatoes.

Here the danger, the non-local parties are here to stay in Borneo.

The history of DAP’s survival tells us, it isn’t intended to be superior but just to presence but via innovations and the change of mindset, makes DAP 'difference. A sheer hard work, slowly and surely becomes worth pursuing.

At the same token if local parties aren’t careful all would face the same fate as SNAP.

This would be the line of thought (…) leave to continue
