PRS berharap pilihan raya umum, negeri diadakan serentak
KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) berharap kedua-dua pilihan raya umum dan negeri dapat diadakan serentak.
Presidennya Dato Sri Dr James Masing berpendapat adalah lebih baik jika pilihan raya umum diadakan lebih awal sebelum tamat penggal, dengan itu ia boleh dilakukan serentak dengan pilihan raya negeri Sarawak.
“Kami (PRS) menyokong sepenuhnya idea mengadakan kedua-dua pilihan raya ini serentak (pilihan raya umum dan pilihan raya negeri) kerana pertama ia sudah tentu akan mengurangkan kos semasa hari mengundi.
“Jentera yang sama akan digunakan, jadi ini akan membantu mengurangkan kos pilihan raya dengan banyak sekali dan pada masa sama menjimatkan wang rakyat,” katanya ketika dihubungi semalam.

The Nightmare: The Iraq Invasion's Atrocities, Unearthing the Unthinkable
by Felicity Arbuthnot | |
Global Research, October 9, 2010 | |
I have a deeply held belief that the duty of a commentator is, to the best of one's ability, to record, to shine light in often dark places, to act as a voice for those whose own voice, fears, plights might not be heard or known. To write about the emotions one sometimes feels when doing it, is an anathema and anyway a redundancy. The purpose is to attempt to draw attention to wrongs, not to whinge about the effects they can have - and any way, a private life should be just that. If politicians wish to strip themselves of their dignity and allude to everything from their sex life, to using private grief to gain sympathy votes, those with a shred of self-respect do not wish to emulate them. Here, I am breaking my taboo, for a reason. |

Sarawak polls just around the corner?
KUCHING: The writings are on the wall that the 10th Sarawak state election is just around the corner, with predictions that it could be held as early as the last week of this month or in November.
Political pundits here also do not discount the possiblity that the state election may be held simultaneously with the Galas -- a Kelantan state assembly seat -- by-election after the Umno general assembly, to be held in Kuala Lumpur, from Oct 19 to 24.
The possibility of simultaneous elections arose after Election Commission chairman Abdul Aziz flew in to meet Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud late last week.

Hapuskan bumiputera?
Perancangan dan usaha golongan minoriti Bukan Melayu terutama Chauvinis Cina tidak pernah serik ataupun muak dengan sikap degil dan mencabar mereka sehingga wajar dipertimbangkan sebagai bersifat ‘Tidak Berterima Kasih dan Taat Setia’. Kedegilan dan kecenderungan melakukan provokasi, walaupun di’kaburi’ sebagai “Resolusi dari sebarang program diskusi intelektual dan ilmiah” sebenarnya tidak melenyapkan niat asas dan objektif yang ingin dicapai.
