sarawal election Taib will Go

I think Sarawak election has taken a new twist. It was never discussed that Taib has to go, but that was the front page news on monday 11, 5 day before the coasting of the vote.

"Don't worry, the change of leadership will be done" . Najib tried to convince the voters. He worked hard, cancelling the Cabinet meeting, this week.

Off course every body will go, as we are living for ever. The important question is when. At the moment it is open, it can be 1 year, 2 years or even 4 year. There are things needed to be done for the interest of the Sarawak people... They elected me, so I should  not leave then in jeopardy.

Big names arrive as super-sized fight shapes up

KUCHING: The arrival of Federal Cabinet members to Sarawak to campaign was the Opposition’s hottest topic yesterday.

At a DAP press conference here yesterday, its secretary general Lim Guan Eng said he welcomed the super-sized fight that was shaping up.

Lim, who is Penang Chief Minister, also said the arrival signalled better Sarawak and peninsula Malaysia cooperation.

However, he criticised the state Barisan Nasional for what he described as “double standards”.

He said the state cabinet several months ago had talked about rejecting peninsula-style elements in campaigns yet the Federal Cabinet members were coming to do campaigns.

“Didn’t they want to reject such type of campaigning? They accused DAP of bringing in too many national leaders, and that we were not giving the state DAP autonomy. Now, they are doing it too.”

State DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen, who is also Bandar Kuching MP and Kota Sentosa incumbent, agreed.

“It is always our stand that we welcome national leaders to help in campaigns; even more so when we have leaders coming, who have results to show and speak of,” Chong said in reference to Lim.

The Barisan had acted too fast to condemn the influx of DAP leaders during the Sibu by-election in May last year, Chong added.

“After that, during a State Legislative Assembly sitting, there was even a motion to reject peninsula-style election campaigns. If they so condemn such campaigns, then why does it now seem like Barisan national leaders are taking over the Sarawak campaign?” Chong said.

Media reports yesterday confirmed that nearly the entire Federal Cabinet were making their way to Sarawak. This week’s Federal Cabinet meeting has been cancelled as a result.

Leading the Barisan blitz is Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is campaigning in all parts of the state everyday right up until polling eve on Friday.

Najib’s last stop is Miri, which is witnessing one of the biggest straight fights between SUPP and DAP.
