BINTULU PORT - MALAYAN TAKEOVER?
Bintulu Port |
Bintulu Port Sdn Bhd rakes in billions in profits. Bintulu Port Sdn Bhd was built by the federal government (Malaya) which is owned by Federal so called Minister of Finance (MOF), which handles all the shipping of Sarawak oil&gas and other resources, here, of course the money go into federal government (Malaya) pockets. This is one example of takeover by Malaya of Sarawak economy and wealth.
Since Bintulu Port is own and manage by the federal government (Malaya), that is why they (federal government a.k.a Malaya) are building the gas pipeline from Sabah to deny Sabahans the revenue and benefit of natural gas. Whatever UMNO-BN does , it is just endless stealing from Sabah and Sarawak.
Isn't it a contradiction to vote back the man (Taib Mahmud) who is backing Malayan's Bintulu takeover plan? The reality is that he would probably get back in because he can afford to buy votes with our money. Supreme irony of colonial domination. Taib is just the local proxy colonial master with what ever his sweet words are.
If Oppositions working together, they might manage to be in a stalemate with BN at Federal and Sarawak state level, then the condition will be ripe for major political ideas like autonomy and independence of Sarawak to take root. If BN is strong, the government would throw anyone who talks or protest about independence in jail.
Now as far as the Bintulu story is concerned, Taib could not hand Bintulu to Mahathir because the Sarawak state opposition PBDS with Abdul Rahman Yakub was very strong. There was strong condemnation when it was reported that MLNG even employ an office boy from Malaya. So, it would be "misplaced trust" to think that somehow Taib is a Sarawak patriot and nationalist. Quite the contrary, upon his departure from the political scene sooner or later, if there is a stronger opposition, than democracy and free speech may flourish. That will be the time to press for more autonomy or even independence through peaceful mean.
BAKUN - ANOTHER MALAYAN TAKEOVER?
Bakun Project |
Lest people forget, Taib sign away Bakun to MOF also. So now, Ministry of Finance generates electricity and sell it to Sarawak Energy. The state is buying electricity from the once-mighty Rajang river, from the Federal Government. The Bakun water catchment area is the size of Singapore. Taib cedes the territory and the natural water resource to Federal. And that's not all. The electric tariff is set by MOF. Which mean that SCORE cannot attract investment on account of cheap electricity. That is also not the kicker. Since MOF owns the power generation, like a capitalist - Federal owns the means of production in SCORE. If as anyone can see, all Federal fundings are concentrated in SCORE, it stands to reason that Sarawak loses control of her land and water resource just like the O & G resource. And then, in 2014 as in 1974 - the Taib family is the center of all that goes on.
That's why I said above, there is an arrangement. I think you know who owns Sarawak Energy. I said this in the SAPO "Homepage". It was a government body before, but later someone said it is better to be privatized. But of course, not many Sarawakians knew and understood what actually the intent to privatize. Who benefited from this privatization. And why the Bakun dam needed to be sold to the MoF and then MoF sells back the electricity to Sarawak Energy. Does anyone of us know and understand what was the deal behind the curtain? This is all game people to keep themselves billionaire until they vanish from planet earth.
IT ALL STARTED 50 YEARS AGO
MALAYANIZATION OF SARAWAK
Sarawak Constabulary "ended" in 1963 |
In 1963, the Royal Federation of Malayan Police (RFMP), the North Borneo Armed Constabulary and the Sarawak Constabulary were merged to form the Royal Malaysia Police. The Singapore Police Force became a component unit of the RMP until Singapore's independence in 1965.
You can see the pattern "Federal" taking over "Sarawak state" in stages. First, it was our sovereignty and country was ceded to Malaya, then Malayanisation, Federal police replace local polices (Sarawak Constabulary), then Malayan teachers takeover, and on and on... We will be totally colonized very soon and Taib has helped them since 1960s. Let's not be fooled by him again and again. He is just a master of deception.
Fed federalize everything and Malayanize our economy and tried to Malaynize our people, the rot is irreversible, there is no way out but to break free.
Of course BN loyalist in Sarawak with federal BN have mocked us around much, to say the least. It all started 50years ago once we "agreed to federate" with Malaya. The only thankful thing is we have not degenerated to the level of Sabah yet. It may be only a matter of time. There is no political solution as yet. So we are trying the peoples' initiative, to start with raising our case in the British court and trying to win international support, and get UN attention. Internally politically, whoever is the Government is of no consequence as it does not bring us the solution. Of course a weak government with a strong opposition makes for a stronger "rakyat" voice and opens up a small window of opportunity to initiate peoples' action, we are in that scenario now and this may not arise again in the next 50 years. Might as well, the current status quo is the best position now
