B is For...

Take your pick. Brigand, bastard, Bustari. Same difference! Of course in the face of the devastating expose in Sarawak Report this fat crook will do and say nothing. He, and all Sarawak BN leaders, know the full extent of BN thievery in the State and congratulate themselves daily on how they are benefiting from it. The really sad thing is that they appear to see nothing wrong, morally or criminally, in their thieving.

And they will go on stealing from the people of the State until they are stopped by long, long terms in jail. That can only happen when the voters of Sarawak open their eyes and ears, acknowledge that the long years of BN control have done nothing except to enrich the crooks and keep the ordinary people in the same grinding poverty.  It is really astonishing how this goes on year afteryear.

Of course the government and the law are not going to do anything about it  Its their racket! The only way in which this can be ended is by the very simple process of voting BN out. Once out of power the next step;  into prison, is a short and easy one and the processs of stripping all of them of their illegal gains can begin.

What is stopping all this happening; as of course it should?  One thing and one only. The fact that Sarawak voters can be bribed.  It is not hard to understand why they take these bribes. If RM50 and a warm beer are all you can expect from your government (once every five years) then better to take that rather than get nothing (to which voters have become well accustomed).

Thre is no point in trying to make the moral or legal case against bribery. Of course it is wrong. Of course it is illegal.  But in a BN dictatorship the police and the Election Commission are blind. No, the real case for rejecting electoral bribes is the practical one. Why settle for beer and pennies when, by voting BN out, you can get a government that will give you the things you desperately need and pay for them by stripping the thieves of all their ill gotten gains  Beer or a clinic.  RM50 or roads,schools, hospitals and everything else you need,  dont have and will never get from BN

If you cant see this, and act on it, you can always drown yourselves in your shiny new blue plastic water butt.
