Abang Johari - Heart Specialist for Pending

Abang Johari knows a winner when he sees one.  He knows that Pending is now in safe hand when Dr Sim is the candidate to stand there for the next Sarawak State Election.  Although it is not official yet but he fully endorsed the Heart Specialist to heal the Pending sickness.  

Pending under DAP Violet Yong has been sick for these past five years!!  However, if Dr Sim got elected then Pending will be undergoing a major heart transplant under the new heart specialist.  

Violet Yong has been labelled as a talk only politicians.  Under the shadow of DAP Chong Chien Jen, they only work to provide comfort for their cronies.  

"There is no other developments being carried out just another empty promises!"

She is now busy lobbying her Personal Assistant to stand in Pending while she is eyeing for the PKR seat in Padungan!!!  The new dispute between PKR & DAP is an advantage to SUPP.  After the sex scandal video being rumoured the PKR puts high hopes to become the next biggest party in Malaysia will just fade away!!!

Abg Jo: Dr Sim perfect candidate for Pending


by Jeremy Veno. Posted on March 21, 2011, Monday


KUCHING: State Barisan Nasional (BN) is confident that cardiologist Prof Dr Sim Kui Hian is the perfect candidate to bring Pending back to its fold in the next state polls.





HEALTH CONSCIOUS: Abang Johari has his blood pressure checked by Dr Sim (left). Also seen are Deputy Minister of Science Technology and Innovation Datuk Fadillah Yusof (right) and SUPP secretary-general Datuk Sim Kheng Hui (standing second left).


“The Barisan Nasional is the ‘heart’ of Sarawak. Pending has been ‘sick’ for the last five years. We need a heart specialist to ‘heal’ the sickness and put Pending on track to be developed on par with the other parts of Sarawak,” said Satok assemblyman Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg during ‘Program Pemimpin Bersama Rakyat’ yesterday.


He described the announcement made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud and Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin regarding Dr Sim’s candidacy at Kenyalang Park last Saturday as a good sign.


Dr Sim’s name was also the first to be announced though BN claimed that it would only finalise its candidate list close to nomination day. Dr Sim will be contesting under Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) banner.


Referring to BN as the heart of Sarawak, Abang Johari further said that the concept of the coalition was to remain committed to the people without bias towards any race and religion in the state.


“The concept of BN will live on with Dr Sim in Pending,” said Abang Johari, likening the election somewhat to a medical check-up where listening to the doctor will lead to a healthy wellbeing.


He also said the prime minister has advised the people to think long and hard and elect only those who are able to walk the talk.


The Minister of Housing and Urban Development pointed out that through the BN government, areas like Sama Jaya are now thriving with hi-technology industries.


“Who would expect that the area to experience development until what it is today?” said Abang Johari, adding that a bridge is being proposed to be built across Tabuan river to Kampung Sri Maimunah.


“With the completion of the bridge, we can expect new townships to be developed within the next ten years,” he added, referring to the long term development plan for areas in Pending up to Demak Laut.


“We have to evaluate what is our future, we have to see what is beyond us. The people must decide properly to attain a better life as well as have good facilities for the future generation. Give your vote to Dr Sim for us (BN) to work together towards a better future,” enthused Abang Johari.


Commenting on the dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) today, he said: “My power will be given back to the people, which happens every five years. This will be the time for them to decide the fate of the heart. Please choose wisely for the sake of the future generations.”


He also said that it is PBB’s ‘style’ to make way for new faces and new blood to take over from the present members.


“Today we see the former representative for Pending, Datuk Sim Kheng Hui, giving way to Dr Sim. Even though they are SUPP members and we are PBB members, we are the same blood, pumped by the same heart (BN),” he enthused.


“Evaluate the performance of the current state representative for Pending who flew in on a rocket… and not of the same blood,” he jested.


The ‘Program Pemimpin Bersama Rakyat’, organised by Special Affairs Department together with PBB Pending branch and SUPP Pending branch at SMK Pending, also saw 11 non-governmental organisations from three PBB branches receiving donations.

SUPP Candidate Must Be Community Oriented And Never Compromise Racial Harmony - Dr George Chan

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam was reported by The Borneo Post, at the  book re-launching ceremony of a memoir by former state politician, the late Tan Sri Datuk Amar Stephen Yong.

Dr George Chan also reminded the Chinese to choose progress by staying and moving forward with Barisan Nasional and SUPP.   He also commented that Barisan Nasional has proven themselves to bring Sarawak and the Chinese community forward unlike any other parties. 

He also reminded the Chinese community to choose their representative wisely.  Put the candidate that will bring harmony to our community and not otherwise.  

During his speech, he honoured the late Tan Sri Datuk Amar Stephen Yong.  

"...He was right in many things including his move in establishing the party"

Remain with BN to progress, Chinese told

by Antonia Chiam. Posted on January 28, 2011, Friday

KUCHING: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam said yesterday that the Chinese must stay with the government in order to progress.  

 

“We must be inside the decision-making group for things to get done. There is no point shouting from outside as nothing can be accomplished,” he said at the re-launching ceremony of a memoir by former state politician, the late Tan Sri Datuk Amar Stephen Yong.

Dr Chan, who is Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) president, said history had proven Yong to be right in many things including his move in establishing the party.

“He (Yong) was everything a real politician should be.

He always told me not to worry about what others say as there will always be people who distract and say negative things. Just go ahead with what you believe is right, and history will prove you right,” he said.

Dr Chan pointed out that it was important for the Chinese to realise that the person they put up as their representative must be able to do things for the community and not just sweet-talk.

“Today, if the Chinese are not represented in the government, Sarawak would not have gone as far as it had.

Tan Sri Yong had helped to shape the racial unity that we have today, which enabled us to move forward in a fair and just society.

“Always be careful of people who sweet-talk as they can compromise our racial harmony and religious freedom,” he pointed out.

Dr Chan in his speech also commended Yong’s contributions to the state in the early days.

“His political foresightedness contributed greatly to the emergence of the state Barisan Nasional government in 1970, a political model stressing on power sharing, stability and racial harmony, which resulted in rapid social and economic development in the state.

“His wisdom, selflessness and righteous stand on issues such as Chinese education, communist insurgence, political detainees and the new villages brought about a significant change in the lives of people from all walks of life in Sarawak.

“Tan Sri Yong was indeed a great son of Sarawak,” he said.

Meanwhile, according to Yong’s son Philip, when the first edition of the book came out in 1998, there were already plans by Yong to re-edit it to include newer materials.

“Sadly the plan did not take place and my father passed away in 2001, shortly after his 80th birthday.

“I began the re-editing by rearranging the original material written in long-hand by my late father and making everything easier to read.

“Our family members and friends had helped a lot especially with the proofreading.

“Hopefully, the Chinese edition will be out by end of this year,” said Philip.

The memoir ‘A Life Twice Lived’, details the illustrious life of the late Yong, who served as deputy chief minister from 1970 to 1974 and as federal minister of science, technology and environment from 1982 to 1990.

He was the first local-born lawyer in the state and was involved in the formation of Malaysia.

Yong was one of the pivotal movers in establishing SUPP in 1959 and served as the party’s secretary-general for 22 years (1959-1981) and chairman for eight years (1982-1990).

‘A Life Twice Lived’ is now available at all major bookstores and is priced at RM25.

DAP Guessing Game?

With the exposure of blunt story inside Sarawak Report, PKR Baru Bian is hiding away.  The fear of being summoned due to forging the SSM documents and publishing it with few edited pieces in their blogs. 

Chong and Baru Bian

This is the right time for DAP to take action and to gain back the majority after promising to give way to PKR's candidate.  The opposition fights among themselves to gain majority to be able to become the CM of Sarawak!? How can a chinese majority area be represented by PKR?  This is the issue being highlighted inside audie61's blog.  

Audie61 is convinced that DAP Chong Chieng Jen will not stand in Sentosa since SUPP Alfred Yap has turned that area into the grey zone for DAP?  DAP is rumored to put a new face coming from legal background, believed to have established a legal firm in Kota Sentosa?  Should they lose to SUPP Alfred Yap then they know the answer to spin that this is due to a new inexperienced choice?  

DAP Chong will likely battle SUPP in Padungan and trying very hard to convince PKR to fight elsewhere.  He is confident that he will likely hold the reigning title of The Idol of Chinese Youth.  He is clean and claimed that his fruits of labor could be seen in Kuching from the Spring shopping mall to Swinburne University Sarawak Campus establishment in Kuching?!!?

DAP Sarawak Can't Count Properly

DAP can't count!!! They tried to put 800 people inside a 600 seats restaurant.  What are they trying to show?  Has they resolved to squeezing their members and supporters into a sardine can?  Why not organize a proper dinner at Grand Continental with their affiliates?  

Now they are blaming the police when policemen are just doing their jobs!  Does that means DAP will start a new police squad that will break all the laws and regulations put up by the governments just to show that their anti-government?

Who is their sane mind would think of putting 800 people inside a 600 seating restaurants?  They would only do this to provoke the authority!!!

Kuching police behaving like thugs, says DAP

SAT, 27 NOV 2010 12:41

By Joseph Tawie

KUCHING: Furious Sarawak DAP leaders have accused the Kuching police of “behaving like thugs” when they warned members of the public against attending a dinner function which the party had intended to hold today.

“The police are trying to be difficult and have reduced themselves to being political thugs of the Barisan Nasional to suppress the opposition.

“We can even look at the police as the 14th member of the BN. At the moment, the BN has 13 members after the Sarawak National Party left the coalition,” said DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen.

He was reacting to Kuching police chief Mun Kock Keong's refusal to grant the party a permit to organise the dinner today at two restaurants at the old Batu Kawah bazaar.

According to Chong, who is Bandar Kuching MP, when the party applied to hold dinner on Nov 20 at the old bazaar, Mun had refused on the pretext that the two restaurants could not accommodate 800 people.

When DAP suggested to organise the dinner on Nov 21 with a reduced number of 650, Mun again rejected the request, saying that two other organisations would also be holding functions near the restaurants.

Mun had asked Chong to re-apply for the permit for the dinner at the same venue for today and had promised him to grant it.

“Early Monday morning, we submitted a fresh application. On Tuesday, I checked with the police chief who told me not to worry as he said that he would grant the permit.

“On Wednesday, we received a reply from him saying that our application to organise the dinner has been rejected. No reason was given this time,” said Chong.

He said that Mun in his press conference earlier in the day had threatened the people who would attend the dinner. He told them that anyone attending it did so at their own risks as it was considered an illegal assembly.

“Under the circumstances, we have to cancel the dinner in order to avoid any untoward incidents, clashes or fracas with the police.

“However, DAP’s elected representatives will still be there tomorrow evening at the restaurants to refund those who have bought the tickets and at the same time to explain to the would-be diners.

“I regret this whole incident. I am wondering why the BN is so afraid of us talking to the people, if they have nothing to hide. The people nowadays are more educated, have more wisdom than most politicians and they cannot be duped,” he said.

Suppressing opposition

Chong, who was also Kota Sentosa assemblyman, said the ruling coalition had been trying to gag the opposition in the State Legislative Assembly.

"Everytime we spoke at the assembly they switched off our mikes and then when we argued they suspended us. Then later they tempered with the Hansard deleting all speeches from the opposition.

“Now even outside the assembly they are trying to shut our mouths,” he said, adding that the BN was worried about the DAP talking to the people of Batu Kawah.

He added that the Batu Kawah constituency is the last foothold of the Sarawak United People’s Party in Kuching.

Four other constituencies in the city are now held by the opposition after the 2006 state election.

“The ruling coaltion is afraid of the people of Batu Kawah hearing the truth through our political talks. Now it is suppressing us using the police as their tool. The DAP will not be cowed and be silenced so easily,” he said.

Chong said that the DAP would refer the matter to a team of lawyers from the party to see what further action could be instituted against the police.

“We will keep the people informed of our action” he said

ADENAN: RESPECT IS THE WORD

Introducing the United Bumiputera Heritage Party Head of Information Bureau, Tan Sri Adenan Haji Satem.  He has been in the world of politics since he was 32 years old. During the 80's, he was the champion for issues relating to NCR land and for his vast political experience he was appointed as the Special Advisor to the Chief Minister's Department and also an assemblyman for Tanjung Dato.  

 
RESPECT IS THE WORD

25 Nov 2010 Ong Wei Ling

 

KUCHING: The respect for each other’s race, religion, culture and tradition, is the mainstay of Sarawak’s peaceful existence since time immemorial.

Saying this was Special Advisor to the Chief Minister, Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Haji Satem, when asked by a foreign participant of an international conference on ‘Minority and Majority:

Language, Culture and Identity’ to reveal what it was that kept Sarawak peaceful and its multiracial people living in harmony with each other.

He said that despite all the differences in race, beliefs, culture and practices, Sarawakians could still agree with each other on a wide range of subjects, and in a worst case scenario, could still find a middle path acceptable to all.

The two-day conference which ended yesterday was organised by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak’s (UNIMAS) Centre for Language Studies and Malaysian Association of Modern language. The sponsors were Sarawak Convention Bureau, Bank Rakyat and Yayasan Sarawak.

During a question-and-answer session later, Adenan said that the Malay language was not just a language for the Malay but was the lingua franca of the South East Asian region.

A foreign academician had asked him about the use of the language in the country and its usage in the school system and in language relations in Malaysia.

In Malaysia, he said, there were many types of schools - international schools, national schools, binary schools and religious schools. “There is nothing that can stop these schools from developing because they follow the same (government) policy”.

He also said that one must not be too proud of one’s language and refuse to accept other languages. A good example, he added, was the almost extinct Sanskrit because its speakers in the olden days refused to accept other languages and cultures. “English in comparison is very practical and is open to any culture, and so too is Bahasa Malaysia,” he added.
