‘Rakyat fearful of instruments of repression’
By Mohd Ariff Sabri Aziz, Free Malaysia Today
Chief Minister Taib Mahmud has a huge war chest with billions of ringgit and along with this he has the threat of coercive tactics.
The rakyat are fearful of the instruments of repression.
The presence of army personnel or police near and around long houses are sufficient to induce pliant behavior.
But let the people of Sarawak be reminded – you have the greatest weapon of all – YOUR VOTE.
You also have the law on your side.
Sarawakians must celebrate the victory of the 640 villagers from Kuala Nyalau and Ulu Nyalau who were awarded RM66.75 million by the Bintulu High Court recently.
The laws can’t be twisted forever by the powerful oligarchy – for that is what the Sarawak government has become.
It’s no longer a party for the people. It’s a party for the elite and the rich.
The people of Kuala Nyalau and Ulu Nyalau are just common people, driven by the desire to correct an injustice.
Sarawakians have only to focus on this mission – to correct the injustices brought upon them by Taib’s government.
They have nothing to lose except a Taib’s brutish rule.
