Ibi Uding We Know What You Did Last Election In Year 2006

Kuching
Tuesday,14th September 2010

For Some politicians, Politic is just like Business, Taking  the Best Opportunity on the Right Time.....

Revisited Ibi Uding Campaign Trail in 

Year 2006 State Election 

Before the 12th General Election (GE12) Perak was a Barisan Nasional (BN) stronghold. But in GE12, Pakatan Rakyat made history in Perak by defeating Barisan Nasional by 31 to 28 Seats.But the Pakatan Rakyat victory was short-lived when the 3 lawmakers from PR deserted the alliance and declared their supports for Barisan Nasional. The three lawmakers were Hee Yit Foong the Deputy Speaker from DAP, and two senior state Executive Council member from PKR Jamaluddin Mohd. Radzi and Osman Jailu.

According to the grapevine all the three lawmakers who deserted PR were offered with substantial amount of monies, award with datukship and for Jamaluddin and Osman Jailu their corruption cases were dropped.

Pakatan Rakyat in Sarawak especially Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) should learn from Perak fiasco by paying extra attention in selecting its candidates for the coming state election. Personally I would like to advise the party not to select the candidate to represent the party in the coming state or parliamentary elections from these two categories. Firstly, the members  who join the party because they were unwanted by Barisan Nasional, and secondly, the members who join the party because they want to stand in the election.
But today I want to write about a party member just to be selected as a candidate, and later after winning the election, join BN with big offer!  

Becomes Candidate For Business 

Ever heard about candidates who withdrew their candidacy in the  last minutes, or who announced their supports to the opposing candidate immediately after the nomination closed?. There are many possibilities of such actions. One of the possible cause is the candidate is offered with substantial amount of monies.

One of the politician who had betrayed her voters was Ibi Uding, the current Woman Chief of  Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sarawak . Ibi who stood in N25-Balai Ringin under Sarawak National Party (SNAP) ticket against Snowdan Lawan (BN) and Saudara Cubbold John (Ind) during the state election in year 2006, according to her campaign partners had received the offer from YB Snowdan Lawan and his father, ex-YB Donald Lawan. Even though she did not withdraw her candidacy officially, but after the meeting , she immediately discontinued her campaign. . 

TR Bidi Saw Ibi  had Meeting  With YB Snowdan and his Father at PRS Operation Room at Simpang Punda and after that she stopped her campaign Program

Relating what happened on that day, one of Ibi Uding campaign team member TR Bidi (picture above) from Empili  said :

" On Sunday, 14th May *2006 at about 4.00PM, I saw Pelie ak Jumbu and Ibi Uding  meeting with YB Snowdan lawan and Donal Lawan at PRS Operation Room at Simpang Punda." 

"Immediately after the meeting, Ibi Uding stopped her campaign", said TR Bidi.

Another witness who saw the meeting was  Beisy ak Ringan from Bayur.

As the meeting were between the four, there was no information on the amount of monies received by Ibi. But the reliable source to Bukittunggal said that Pelie ak Jumbu were given RM10K by Ibi.

In the election Snowdan Lawan secured 3,075 votes, Ibi Uding  1,559 votes and Saudara Cubbold  742 votes. Should Ibi did not accept Snowdan offer, and proceed with her campaign, the result of the election could be different or won by her.

If PKR want to win N25-Balai Ringin with the candidate reliable to PKR struggle, the party should not nominate Ibi as the party's candidate. Based on what happened in 2006 election, if she is chosen as a candidate, the tendency is there that she will betray the party by repeating what she had done in year 2006. For Ibi , election is just like doing business. She will accept the monies, if not during the election by withdrawing her candidacy, she will follow the actions of the three pakatan law makers in Perak.

According to reliable source both TR Bidi and Beisy were willing to give statement to PKR Disciplinary Committee if  request by the party.

Conclusion/Recommendation

As reported by the two witnesses, TR Bidi from Empili and Beisi ak Ringan from Bayur, Ibi Uding had accpted monies from YB Snowdan Lawan and Donald Lawan in the state election held in year 2006. Even though no amount of money was revealed but  the grapevine said Pelie ak Jumbu was given RM10K by Ibi.

The party should not gamble the future of  the voters in N-25 Balai Ringin by selecting Ibi Uding as their candidate in the coming state election.

The party should find a reliable and good  party members as a candidate in the coming state election for N25-Balai Ringin.

Politicians call for action against blog and rogue station

By NG AI FERN

KUCHING: Now that the brains behind Sarawak Report and Radio Free Sarawak have been exposed, politicians from both sides of the divide are calling for action to be taken.
Sarawak United People’s Party youth chief Sii Hua Tong asked the authorities to find out if the blog and radio station had committed any offence.

“There is no need to create something to threaten the nation. No one in our country, whether in Barisan Nasional or the Opposition, will want to see our country in chaos. Whether those responsible are overseas or not, when they interfere in our nation’s interest and threaten national security, it is a serious matter.
“If what they allege is true, they must have evidence,” he told Star Sarawak yesterday.

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu deputy president Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said that he had been monitoring what was aired and opined that the contents were just rhetoric.

“Well, it is close to election and so you can expect a lot of things to pop up. I don’t like rhetoric,” he said.
Clare Rewcastle Brown, the sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Peter John Jaban, an Iban activist known as Papa Orang Utan to his listeners, went public on Wednesday saying they were responsible for the blog and radio station in a British tabloid report.

Sarawak Report and Radio Free Sarawak have been very critical of Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.

Sarawak Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club chairman Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah had said that what the duo had done was “malicious and dangerous” and that they had campaigned not only against Taib but also the nation.

Opposition leaders yesterday appealed to the authorities to launch an investigation, particularly on the claims as alleged in Sarawak Report.

“The most important thing is whether the claims are true or not. If their claims have no grounds, the authorities should take action against them. If there are, then the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission should take action,” Sarawak PKR chief Baru Bian said.

“Whether they are foreigners or locals, what is important is the truth. A responsible government should take action to clarify the allegations.”

Sarawak DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen, on the other hand, said that the Chief Minister should make a public statement in response to the allegations.

“He should at least clear his name. So far he has been keeping mum, which is unacceptable,” Chong said.
Both Sarawak DAP and PKR said they were not linked to the blog and radio station, but were open for interviews if they received invitations from them.

The Star Online
My Point Of View.

Why BN YB should afraid to the Sarawak Report and RFS? Your BN Gov control the mainstream media. so let the online media to be the alternative to the Rakyat. Dont simply accuse these sarawak report make baseless report. If it is Untrue then explain to the Rakyat. Why should afraid? Are BN YB ARE CHICKEN@COWARD?

Ex-British PM’s relative behind Radio Free Sarawak

Stephanie Sta Maria  | February 23, 2011

Radio Free Sarawak, which has gained extensive ground in rural Sarawak with its stories about Chief Minister Taib Mahmud's plundering ways, has finally revealed its owners.

KUALA LUMPUR: Until a few hours ago, the identities of those behind Radio Free Sarawak (RFS) were a closely-guarded secret.

Now a British tabloid has unmasked the duo as Clare Rewcastle Brown, the sister-in-law of former British prime minister Gordon Brown, and Peter John Jaban, the grandson of a Dayak headhunter.

London-based RFS was launched last November on the promise of bringing alternative news to the people of Sarawak.

Controversial blogger, Raja Petra Kamarudin, came on board as a regular contributor a month later.
According to news tabloid, Evening Standard, Rewcastle Brown, 51, was born in Sarawak to British parents and lived in the region until she was eight.

She returned 38 years later and was shocked by the extent of the deforestation taking place in the rainforest.
It was while covering a 2008 by-election there that she met Jaban, 46, and proposed that he become the voice of RFS.

In her interview with the tabloid, Rewcastle Brown, who is also the author of the blog Sarawak Report said: “I use my blog and broadcasts to expose the outrageous deforestation which has seen 95% of Sarawak’s rainforest cut down and replaced by logging and palm oil plantations which have enriched Taib and his family.”

“What’s more, my investigations indicate some of the Taib family money is right here in London and includes a lucrative property portfolio in the heart of our capital. My work is about giving the 2.5 million oppressed people of Sarawak a choice.”

She said Taib and his family also had property empires in Canada, the US and the UK and that Taib derived his funds by “selling off rainforests” and channelling some of the money “through the British Virgin Islands”.

Death threats
Rewcastle Brown further explained that her decision to go public followed death threats on the Sarawak Report website and the mysterious death of her chief whistleblower and Taib’s former US aide, Ross Boyert, last December.

Jaban, who goes by the moniker Papa Orang Utan, meanwhile expressed pain at having to leave his family behind but asserted that he was prepared to “die for this cause”.
“In the days of my grandfather, you had to bring a decent clutch of heads as a sign of your masculinity when you got married…

“Today things have changed but you still have to be a man,” he was quoted as saying.
While Rewcastle Brown acknowledged the high likelihood of Taib intimidating the voters during the next Sarawak election, she also believed that RFS had had a huge effect on Sarawakians and that there was a strong movement towards change.

Her words were confirmed by prominent Dayak-Iban social activist and blogger John Brian Anthony.
“A change is definitely taking place and it’s very real,” he told FMT.

“RFS has brought about a sharp awareness among the people here. These days they are talking about topics that they would not normally discuss like abuse of power, Taib’s wealth and NCR land.

“I’m taken aback at how much public perception has changed recently in both the urban and rural areas. And those in the urban areas are now looking to those in the rural areas to supply them with information on what is really going on in the Sarawak interiors.”

Angry government
John, who is behind the Dayakbaru.com blogsite, added that those who were able to receive the RFS frequency were loyal listeners.

A group of activists distributed CDs of the shows podcasts to those who weren’t able to tune in.
“The Dayaks especially are very audio-inclined people what with their extensive oral history.
“The fact that Peter (Jaban) speaks fluent Iban is also a big plus point.

“So now we have Sarawak natives coming forward to share their personal stories with RFS,” he said.
When asked about the Taib administration’s reaction, John laughed: “They are very angry of course.

“Just a few days back two activists were arrested for distributing the CDs but they were released without charge because the content was issue-based and not anti-government.”

SARAWAK – DIACUKAN DAN DIROMPAK DENGAN MUNCUNG SENAPANG!

Kini Sarawak Report dapat mengemukakan bukti di sebalik aduan yang meluas yang mengatakan gerombolan samseng kerapkali digunakan oleh syarikat-syarikat pembalakan untuk membalak menggunakan lesen berkontroversi ke atas tanah-tanah oleh Ketua Menteri Abdul Taib Mahmud.

The shocking pictures of Minggat Anak Nyakin and his son Juan Anak Minggat speak volumes about the problems in Sarawak.  The two men were viciously attacked on the night of February 14th by illegal loggers, who have been plundering their lands for years unhindered.  Minggat was left for dead on the steps of the company manager’s office and has yet to regain his power of speech.  It was left to his son to crawl away in the dark, barely alive himself, to get help.
Amazingly these two men are now being held under police guard in hospital, because they have been remanded over the incident.  Meanwhile, the latest news is that no attempt has so far been made to detect or arrest the attackers, although their headquarters in Sungai Rusa is well-known.  It is perhaps of little surprise therefore that despite numerous reports by Minggat and his family about the illegal logging, the police had done nothing over the years to prevent it or investigate the problem.
Native Rights are ignored by the authorities
The unspeakable injustice of how Minggat and his family have been treated by the authorities and the people who are supposed to be keeping the law in Sarawak is unfortunately not the exception but the rule these days.  Minggat’s wife, Jelembai, who says that her husband is likely to never fully recover, told Radio Free Sarawak in an exclusive interview:

“Everyone is so scared of these people, which is why no one normally stands up to them” 

Juan anak Minggat - still hardly able to speak after life-saving surgery.

She explained that Minggat had reported the activities of the illegal loggers to the Police, the Lands and Survey Department and the Public Works Department again last December and had complained that their farm areas and roads were also being torn up by the intruders.   However, none of these authorities showed any interest in upholding the law and defending the rights of the Iban community against the criminals plundering their lands.

The pair are believed to have acted in desperation after passing by their parcel of NCR land at Sungai Rotan and Sungai Penyaru Kuba (Kiba) on the evening of 14th February and seeing that the logging was continuing unabated.  They decided to go to the company’s log pound in the hope of at least negotiating some compensation.  It was this that laid them open to the attack. 

Police failure
Of course, if the police had wanted to avoid any disturbances of the peace they should have done their proper job weeks ago and made their own visit to the company log pound and dealt with the theft and trespass.  However, because the police had not come to the assistance of the community they are paid to defend, the two men felt forced to confront the loggers on their own.
The attack that was then carried out shows just how confident the logging companies are that their gang activity will not be stopped or challenged.  These thugs are the brutal enforcers of Taib’s policy of plunder in Sarawak and the police and the authorities know that it is no longer their job to carry out the law, but to turn a blind eye to the law-breaking, thuggery and exploitation that is making life miserable for hundreds of thousands of rural people. 

Caught on camera! Thug with a home-made gun threatens villagers in Sri Aman - he told them he would bring gangsters from Sibu to sort them out.

Gang rule  

Sarawak Report believes that the use of gang intimidation and violence is a clear instrument of policy by the BN Government, who are backing the logging companies.  These gangs of thugs are notorious and widespread in Sarawak and BN cannot pretend that this incident is isolated or unusual. 

Just this weekend another frightening drama of intimidation unfolded outside Rumah Ranggong, where two bus loads of thugs were brought to make camp outside the longhouses who had been blockading the invasion of their lands by an oil palm company.  The terrified locals believe they were hired to intimidate them by Niamas Istimewa Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of BLD Resources, who are logging their area. 
On this occasion the police were called to the site to find 100 thugs armed with parangs and explosives. Their lame reaction was to arrest only one leading figure and to allow all the others to return home, having handed them back their weapons!  
Fighting back at last

Finally arrested - the gang leader at Rumah Ranggong

Why were these armed gangsters not instead rounded up and interrogated?  Why have the logging company managers not been remanded in custody and also properly investigated?  It is because for years these are the people who have been brought in to do Taib’s dirty work across Sarawak while the authorities look the other way.
Their job is to terrorise the people and rightful Native Customary Rights land owners so that Taib’s business partners, the crony logging companies, can pluck out all Sarawak’s trees and sell the valuable wood that has made him and his family billionaires so many times over.  However, now that their activities are being photographed and put on video these tactics can no longer be carried out in secret. 

The communications network has helped grow the confidence of local people.  Last month one village was warned by mobile phone about a gang of intimidators who were coming to attack them and they were able to call on 500 locals to come and help round up and imprison a group of 20 armed thugs.  Cases like these are now being taken to court with the help of the PKR opposition leader, the native rights lawyer Baru Bian and his fellow human rights lawyers.  

is expected to be demanded from the logging companies. 

All hundred gang members at Rumah Ranggong were armed - the police handed their weapons back!

Just in the past week  two more major land rights cases have been won against the State Government in the Kuching courts and heavy compensation
Time is running out for Taib Mahmud.  He should look at the examples of the numerous rebellions in the Middle East and realise that after 30 years patience runs out.  He must allow people the freedom to chose who they want in the coming election and not try to squash his rivals by yet again abusing the police and ordering them to close down legitimate opposition rallies.  [see upcoming story on the gagging of opposition leader Baru Bian].
Provocative attacks on free democracy are currently happening all over Sarawak as Taib tries to strong arm yet another election victory.
He should beware of making people angry.
