Mr Chief Minister, When was Sarawak governed by a non-Sarawakian? Historically Sarawak was governed by the Sultan of Brunei, then under the Brooke Rajahs and finally under the British Colony before the formation of Malaysia. After gaining independence and self rule, your late father Tun Openg was installed as the first local Governor, followed by Tun Tuanku Hj Bujang your late father-in-law, followed by Tun Sallahuddin, then Tun Rahman followed by Tun Ahmad Zaidi, followed by Tun Salahuddin and the reigning Tun Taib Mahmud. On the other hand the Chief Ministers have always been a Sarawakian, Datuk Amar Stephen Kalong Ningkan as the first CM, followed by Datuk Tawi Sli, then Tun Rahman, Tun Taib Mahmud, Tan Sri Adenan Satem and now your Rt Hon self. The full Sarawak Cabinet has always been filled by Sarawakians, the State Secretary has always been Sarawakians. Interestingly, SKN was removed primarily because he fought for the Sarawak cause and for promoting "Sarawak for Sarawakian" as SNAP's battle cry. Since the formation of Malaysia the Federal Government has always been the "Alliance" which was renamed Barisan Nasional in 1973. Interestingly too it was PBB which led the other component parties of BN from Sarawak to pledge "We will swim and sink" with BN. Are you, Rt Hon CM, envisaging that non-Sarawakians will be Sarawak's Governor, Chief Minister and fill the Cabinet posts? Will Sarawakians accept a non-Sarawakian to contest in Sarawak? I don't think so. To me heaven forbids. So I should say that we should never cast a shadow of non-Sarawakian governing Sarawak. It never will, and what can only happen in the future is Sarawak becoming an independent nation by itself.

Abang Johari Openg says to ensure the 'future of the state’, it should be governed by Sarawakians, adding he is satisfied with talks on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 with the federal government.

Not necessarily so Najib. Singapore's PAP has been so strong since Singapore gained her independence but that did not cause their government to be corrupt. It is your government, when your government was very strong, that it became a corrupt government, worse still with kleptocracy creeping in. So this is an admission of your guilt as a corrupt and kleptocratic leader.

The former prime minister pens a letter to voters on why they should choose the opposition when they go to the polls tomorrow.

Mr Prime Minister, it was you who started to increase debts every year since you took over. You are the one who will cause the nation's debt to a trillion ringgit. At the pace you are accumulating debts, its certain to hit the 1 trillion ringgit mark soon. Your downfall will ensure our economy's recovery.

Is this the type of leaders that we have in a so called "democratic" country Malaysia. The Minister seems to be totally ignorant of the democratic process. Or is he so scared to loose that he has to use a threatening method to gain support? If people don't vote for you, there must be a reason. God bless Malaysia.

This is seditious, pitting people against one another over race and religion. If UNMO which is the backbone of the BN Government doesn't condemn this statement, I urge Malaysians to rally AGAINST UMNO led BN Government in GE14 so that peace, harmony and stability can be restored in Malaysia. Only then Malaysia can progress and prosper.

Hundreds of millions of ringgits are being handed out to individuals by the stroke of a pen!.... forget not that karma is nigh ... a few more months and judgement day will arrive ... time nears with certainty as death will come to all of us sooner or later."

I was serving in the Sarawak Administrative Service when the writer, Dennis Ignatious was Malaysia's Ambassador to China (1979 to 1981). I remember then, that people would raise their eye brows when hearing of someone making a trip to China. A Chinese Kapitan friend of mine told me after his return from China that he would not dream of going to China again. What a contrast, today China is one of the "choice destination" to tour.

Personally I am totally against this stupid decision. We are a multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural society. That is why we must, and all our non-Muslim elected representatives must oppose the move to implement "Hudud" laws in Malaysia.
