Counting On The State

Federal Minister Theresa Kok announced that she was counting on the Sarawak State government to address the scandal of the proposed Mulu deforestation project to make way for a massive oil palm plantation.

There is no need to comment on the Minister’s planned approach to the, totally corrupt, Sarawak state government. She can take it for granted that no help will be forthcoming from there. The whole business, and we mean business, of the GPS (BN) party still in power in Kuching is to promote the rape of Sarawak’s remaining forests for their personal benefit and that of the businessmen who are their accomplices in these environmental crimes.

Just why that corrupt administration is in favour in Kuala Lumpur is a mystery which Putrajaya seems reluctant to elucidate. It may have relevance to possible Constitutional reform: which requires a super majority in favour. But there is no need to rely on the corrupt Sarawak state government for that.

All that needs to be done it to free up the MACC to undertake wholesale enquiries into what is happening, and has happened, over decades of corrupt BN management in Sarawak to see the leadership of GPS and all their accomplices where they deserve to be. In jail.

The resultant bye elections would easily provide the needed two thirds majority and also prove that PH is serious about sorting out corruption; not just by jailing mega crook Najib and his associates but by cleaning up political life all over.

The opportunity is there. Is the political will?
