After Sibu victory, PR heading towards Sarawak State Election

After seeing DAP wins the Sibu by election, I have a feeling that SUPP will start to lose support in Chinese dominated constituencies. I bet that SUPP will not be able to race back Sibu in the next state and parliament elections. The victory in Sibu are still a main topic in most coffeeshops. Enough is enough for SUPP's unfulfilled promises. Even God has given hint by sending flood in Sibu on polling day to show SUPP's failure to solve the people's problems such as drainage systems.

Chinese have been waken in this sleepy town. SUPP in Sarikei, Miri and Kuching will be next. I'm not surprise if Ah Chan, Soon Koh and most of their armies lose in the next state election.

Slowly, Dayaks will also swing their votes to PR if the right strategies are planned to woe them against the "lucrative" wealth promised by BN. Remember not long ago government has mega plan to build 12 new dams in upstreams of rivers in Sarawak. The various social, poverty and land issues resulting conflicts between cronies of "Pak Moh" and local natives are enough to strategize in PR electoral plan. With new coalition from a Dayak party in PR hoefully will lay a smoother line to engage the natives especially in suburb and rural area.

Taib will not step down now and pass the baton to Jabu or Abg Johari because it's going to instabilize BN harder which might lead to leadership crisis. Taib is another Sami Vellu, whose party is now thirsty of new charismatic leader due to their "stuck ass syndrome". The situation in Sarawak BN will be more difficult now. SUPP is going to be humiliated in their constituencies. Under Taib, PBB might still get their backup from Melanaus and Malays votes in their legacy constituencies. Chinese and Dayaks votes are not significant there. With the internal problems faced by PKR and unpopular PAS in Sarawak, their chances to change the political scenario here is closed to null. Thanks to Taib's effort in developing these places. At least he knows how to protect his rice bowl first.

Overall, lets take out the weaken SUPP by focusing on Dayaks constituencies. If Chinese and Dayaks votes increase in next state election, then PR should be able to garner more seats from the Central and North Sarawak. DAP are getting stronger now, but other coalitions in PR should study and workout the right strategies to penetrate the other strongholds of BN. My hope is that more than 1/3 of Sarawak State Assembly will be filled with PR ADUNs.

It's official: DAP is victorious in Sibu!!!

Wong Ho Leng from DAP has won Sibu by election with a narrow majority of 398 votes over BN candidate.

The official result:

Wong Ho Leng (DAP): 18845
Robert Lau Jr. (BN): 18447
Narawi Haron Independent): 232

The issues with Sibu is the same elsewhere in BN dominated constituencies. The elected BN candidates are involved in acute cronism among family members and close friends. With the lost of BN in Sibu, hopefully will crack the strong bond of cronism network there. The normal Chinese in Sibu are already sick of these cronies and thanks to all the voters for this timely boost vengeance. Let's see now whether the promises made by Najib and BN worth millions of ringgit to those schools will still be reality. God shows his grace by sending flood to Sibu on polling day to highlight just how cronic these drainage systems are after so many years under BN. How about other infrastructure issues. BN, stop crowing like a cock and do your job.

This by election shows that money can't buy anything. If RM600 can buy the native's votes, this time it proves wrong. KTS link to NCR issues and exploitations might have awaken the natives to vote for DAP. In Sibu, most natives have been living in dire straits. To BN, if you really want to help, don't just help your cronies to become richer. Your "fake" aids as your election strategy will soon come to an end. Remember, native people are no longer stupid as you thought, SUCKER!!!

On common ground, the ban usage of "Allah" in Christian Bibles among natives have caused a directional change in votes this time. Majority Sarawakians are Christians be it among Bidayuh, Melanau, Iban, Kenyah, Chinese, Lumbawang, etc. Christianity teachings play important part of Sarawakians life. Since those in Malaya especially current government already ate into the pie with a touch of politics, that triggers enough hatred and anger in them. Suddenly, everyone here felt as if BN government is trying to kill them off in faith. Don't forget the ban of a few BM bibles by the government as well.

To YB Wong Ho Leng, this victory doesn't mean you are strong. It's actually a revenge on BN for them to wake up from fantasy world. You should do better and give the people more confident under your wings than the late Robert Lau. Your struggling life during your childhood shows that you can fight for the people. But without right actions, it will soon draft your downfall. I hope this achievement is the beginning to the fall of "Pak Moh" and his cronies. Sarawakians already have enough with all this exploitations by Malaya since independence. It's time for change.

Yes, DAP won the people's votes but

Updates:

Based on the official votes counting, DAP candidate, Mr. Wong Ho Leng has won the Sibu by election. 110 out of 111 ballot boxes have been counted and he's leading Robert Lau Jr by 2651 votes.

Unfortunately, the postal votes (2537 in total) and electoral staffs votes have not been taken into account. As expected majority of these votes will be supporting BN since they are obligated to. Jeff Ooi shouldn't be so excited first, just wait and see for some unpredictable surprises from BN running dog, SPR.
