WILL 2021 BE BETTER THAN 2020?

WILL 2021 BE BETTER THAN 2020?

We find it a tad strange that you have to publicly pledge your full support to Abang Johari as CM of Sarawak after all your are the chief whip of GPS. That is not to say that we have not heard the bisikan dalam bayu yang berhembus awan petang yang mendung. Bisikan kata PBB is a tiga pejuru parti. But that is small matter lah. We are not concerned with that.

Our concerns is with Sarawak rights vis-a-vis the PN federal government of which GPS is a part. As the world is preparing to exit the COVID.19 pandemic era, we are becoming increasingly concern about GPS ability to bring Sarawak out of the era and reconnect with the world. Frankly, the signs we are seeing are quite distressing. Some areas of immediate concerns are:

Dilapidated Schools And Performances Of Sarawak Schools

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The problems with dilapidated and under-equipped schools in Sarawak is far  far from being fully resolved. We recalled that there were about 1200 dilapidated and under-equipped schools. Less than 150 schools have been fully repaired. The state of the education system in Sarawak is reflected in the performance of our schools whereby nearly all our schools are behind schools in Malaya.

Road Infrastructures

-----------------------

The Pain Borneo is 60% completed, according to you but there is no date tagged to the full completion. We are still faced with dangerous road conditions.

Oil & Gas

-----------

Despite the 'vistories' that CM Abang Johari has claimed to achieve the situation can be summarised in these words ' Petronas recognised on paper that Sarawak has rights to oil and gas in her territory but the power over the same oil and gas is still fully vested in Petronas'. In order words it is still a tingok atak makan titak situation.

And we are still waiting for the GPS government to come clean on the 2 onshore fields given by Petronas to Petros.

Sarawak Owned TV Station 

------------------------------

Turned out it was just a dedicated channel on ASTRO.

Internet Connectivity

-------------------------

This is crucial to empowering Sarawakians who are rural based. They need it in their children education and to catch up with the rest of the world in the digital economy environment and the IR.4 era. A non-government group took the initiative to install internet facilities in 5 schools in Kapit and your colleagues in the GPS government went bersek.

Secular State Of Sarawak

---------------------------

This is coming under increasing threat from influences of your Malay-based partners in the PN government, particularly from PAS. A PAS parliamentarian spoke badly against the beliefs of Christians in parliament and not one of GPS's MP stood up against him.

The NCR Land Of The Dayaks

--------------------------------

Abang Johari said that it is hard for the rural based dayaks to use their land to uplift their living standards because they have not been able to monetise their land. And that is the truth. The other side of that truth is the GPS government is the single biggest stumbling block here. The GPS governement has steadfastly refused to survey dayaks land under Sect 18 of the SLC and issue individual titles.

Imbalance In The Service Service

------------------------------------

The racial composition of the civil service is badly skewed towards just one racial group.
