1ST DAY OF CMCO IN KUCHING

 1st day of CMCO in Kuching 

                                           Seen at Best Corner FoodCourt, Trinity Hub. 

60% drop in customer turnout. 

Obviously this will translate into lower revenue and income for the stallholders. 

Nevertheless, their monthly rental remains unchanged. 

While public health is undeniably of utmost priority, the 'economic health' cannot be ignored too. 

The notion that the business community will innovate and find ways around these challenges is unfounded.

They NEED help, especially the small and medium industries... even petty traders and FoodCourt stallholders. 

And help must be fast, impactful and practical to be of relevance - minimal, if not zero 'bureaucracy'.

The National Budget doesn't seem to grab the bull by the horns - more like addressing the symptoms rather than administering the CURE. 

For example - the decrease in allocation to the Health Ministry despite the knowledge that the Covid19 pandemic is going to be around for quite a while is 'self-defeating'. 

Ironically funding JASA appears to be a greater priority... to keep the PN Government 'politically healthy' over safeguarding and keeping the Rakyat socially, economically and medically healthy  ? 

Even the ordinary uncles and aunties can see through this. 

Therein lies the CRUCIAL decision by our own Sarawak MPs (LAWMAKERS) to make that critical CHOICE....when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. 

Tough decisions but necessary decisions.

We voters have been constantly advised and reminded that - "OUR VOTES MATTER, VOTE WISELY"

 In a similar vein, may we now remind our Sarawak MPs from all political divide to do likewise - "YOUR VOTES in Parliament matter - VOTE WISELY." 

Please do the RIGHT THING and DO THINGS RIGHT. 

Just follow your CONSCIENCE. 

In your honourable hands lie the conscience of the NATION. 

As Mark Twain had famously said - "LOYALTY to Country - YES !!!

Loyalty to the government  - only when it deserves it."

That's PATRIOTISM. 

Patriotism and Conscience NEVER fail. 

Over to you, our Honourable Members of Parliament, our Representatives, Our Voice, Our Conscience.
