SUPP has landed on the flooded ground as per reported in the paper! Rice, sugar, salt, clothes, milk, coffee and so forth for “affected” SUPP constituencies. I am "proud" of them actually in this time of hardship. Where are the rest?
We tend to see something out of our imagination and get very excited of it. In other word, we like to be very emotional with some issue that is not really related with ourselves. Gaza trumpet is blowing aloud at every corner of the country; in the cities, bazaars, villages, schools and coffee shops. Some come with Palestinian style of scarf and organize so many rallies and demonstration to slam the regimes. Yes, that is so much necessary indeed as Israel is slaying the Palestinians ruthlessly. The whole world know that Israel is a bad boy and there were nothing much we can do to save the cursed land since our ancestor, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There were a lot of agreement between these two idiots but it cannot stop the suicide bombers and blood fights. We have seen so many tragedies in Gaza, Jerusalem and some of the conflict area. Not only in that region, but it happening in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Southern Thailand, Spain, England, United States, Indonesia and some part of the world.
In Terengganu, there are other hot and spicy evens where I saw a lot of money has been spent. Entrepreneur projects, mobile clinics, money, foods and so forth. Peoples seem to be very happy in there and enjoy a lot of benefits from Najib. Even the Menteri Besar is now has to smile as he used to be rejected before his appointment. Now, you will never see any BN YB’s during this critical moment in Kuching. Some are lobbying for project and giving their hand to KT candidate and hoping that their presence will be rewarded. In fact, they are rewarded a lot during every political campaign.
How about the flood relief to those affected area especially those poor villages like Serian, Padawan, Bau and some in Sibu and Miri? Why we so busy with Gaza but our own people are are helpless and dying? The Malaysian attitude is that we ignore our household affair and get busy with other issue that it less related to us. Yes, we have to fight for humanity issue but it should be “first thing first” basis. There is an idiom in malay language says “Anak kera di hutan diberi susu, anak di rumah mati kelaparan”.
We demand attention from our representative and give less attention to something that is necessary. We tried to save Gaza and UMNO in Terengganu. How about those who are drowning? Next election, we save ourselves before they talk nonsense.

Ten days ago, I left a comment, the 1st one on your blog post: Non-Registered Voter (below).
http://tbsbidayuh.blogspot.com/2009/01/non-registered-voter.html
Today, I came back to confirm what have written there and to show that once the people wake up and choose their destiny, even billions of bribes won't work. Again, I want to leave another comment having been vidicated at KT by-election:
We Malayans dumped Umno and BN again in KT despite billions of bribes. Yet we Malayans have benefited from Umno and BN by stealing Sarawak and Sabah resources. Yet the Sarawak and Sabah people stick with Umno and BN. You must be certified fools. If we don’t want Umno and BN, if we can take their billions and still vote them out, why can’t you do the same? Don’t tell me that you are benefiting from Umno and BN more than Malayans, after all it is Malayans who have got the resources of Sabah and Sarawak to be used for Malaya development. We have shown you the way, we have shown what strength means, we have shown what the people’s resolve means, we have shown you what refusing to be bribed means, we take the money and we vote Pakatan. When will you follow us? Wake up Sabahans and Sarawakians before it is too late.
Dear Abdullah,
Now everyone can laugh aloud. They were busy a lot and get pissed. Great job to the people at KT.
the difference between us Sarawakians and Palestinians is Palestinians are muslims while we Sarawakians are mostly non muslims. That is why no help is coming our way brother.
not all palestians are muslim. in their mist are christian palestians. and in actual fact before 1948 most were christians. they became muslim to seek support after their cries were ignored by the western world. and some of the muslim world poured their support including malaysia. in sarawak's case don't expect anything even our own YBs robbed the land and us. and worst still their used alot of companies from malaya to do so. hope BeEnd will wake up cause sarawak and sabah are the main bones supplying them the needed majority in parliment
For umpteem years our government have been misplacing their priorities. While I do agree that religion could be the deciding factor, I also believe that by highlighting the plight of the Palestinians the government is actually diverting public attention from the local issues.
From the scanty reports found in MSM about the flood hitting the State recently, one can't help but wonder how such a desaster did not merit a red alert, akin to Katrina-New orleans desaster. I hope I am wrong but the reports from Malaysiakini signalled a very bleak future for the affected people in Baram and other areas. When hill padi farmers lost their crops that is desaster in the making.
For umpteen years the government had misplaced its priorities. This is normally done to sidetrack the Malaysian public from knowing domestic problems/issues. Remember the public's hue and cry when the government tried to save Sufiah Yusof, a British Citizen who prostituted herself? So, rushing aids to the Palestine is nothing more than a stunt- a show off.
I am as perplexed as you are why the flood problems did not get the appropriate attention accorded to a disaster of such magnitude. I thought it was as bad as Hurricane Katrina effects in New Orleans. The scanty news from the MSM did not help. The information I read in Malaysiakini was more objective.
When farmers, especially hill padi farmers,lost their crops, you can expect how destitute these people would be for the next one year.
Like you said, charity must begin at home. But sad to say, in this part of our world, these are just empty words. So, when they come asking for your vote check the report card. Choose well.
