He is only a great opportunist, and a great pretender at that. Now he is paying a price for his arrogance too, a new feature in him found manifesting in his streak to try to rise above Jabu, be a Numero Uno among the Dayak, and become a DCM. He failed to get that and his ministry is now with any budget to boot. In other word his own arrogance has brought about a situation whereby he is a minister "without portfolio" by virture of the fact his ministry has no budget. A Ministry of Land Development without budget! What a fate!<br /><br />Of course Taib and Jabu are not wasting time either. To counter Masing arrogance and ego a new political party, Sarawak Workers Party, is registered. And now for the first time CM Taib has welcomed a new party registered by ROS. Taib said "the more the merrier, we are democractic country". This type of statement from Taib especially after the recent open spat becoming known between Sng and Masing's saying he is not afraid of a fight with Sng. Masing also said that "Sng would come around before every election and would fade out after elections are over". Thus Taib's statement welcoming the Sarawak Workers Party, beside of course the too welknown strategy of the old but brainy cunning and powerful sultan without a crown but more powerful than a sultan CM Taib, the divide and rule over the Dayaks, is poignant and fortelling. Masing and his PRS beware!<br /><br />Except I don't think Masing deserve the Dayak's sympathy anymore, although I do sympathise with Joseph Salang Gandum who will have to face Dato Sng combined with Wong Judat, the latter sitting on the periphery of BN/SPDP, with nothing anymore to loose. At least working with Sng might just give him a new platform or a new political lease of life. Staying in SPDP as it is having only 2 seat ADUN with the rest 4 ADUN already in Nansen's camp of Group of 5 opposing Mawan, I agree with Wong Judat must find his own niche to maintain his clout still works with the voters, why not?<br /><br />In the final analysis Masing must really go too. Just as much as Mawan has to go. The former over his ego and arrogance and the latter for his ineptness in politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-82760085300835298112012-04-21T16:14:44.696+08:002012-04-21T16:14:44.696+08:00I sincerely hope that SDNU is not let up the garde...I sincerely hope that SDNU is not let up the garden path and end up disappointed at the end of the day in appointing Mawan as its president. Honestly I do not think, based on how he has handled SPDP and its Group of 5, shooting himself at the foot, Mawan anak Ikom can do anything more than warm his arse at SDNU. I can see obviously Mawan is on the way out from the corridor of poer managed and controlled by Taib Mahmud. And he is not able to salvage his SPDP and what make himable to spring a surpise for SDNU. Worst now that he has a new problem with PRS, whether intentionally on his part or not, he has a new crying baby to soothe. And for those "political" nature of problems besetting Mawan I believe it is entirely wrong to bring him as president of SDNU. However, good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-38024651819575542842012-04-12T15:44:48.394+08:002012-04-12T15:44:48.394+08:00If Dayak ministers, Dayak MPs and Dayak state asse...If Dayak ministers, Dayak MPs and Dayak state assemblymen do not support Dayak NGOs, who else?<br /><br />Jabu will you forget what you said to SDGA before, when you said SDGA was being polluted by dirty tactics and that the Dayak themselves were the ones who caused the retardation of Dayak progress.<br /><br />And to our brother James Masing, we still remember what you said regarding Dayak during PRS Inaugural Generel Meeting in 2005 and I quote it here " I was very convinced that the Dayak must fight for the Dayak. If we don`t do that nobody else will. I WAS WRONG."<br /><br />My dear Iban ministers, please throw your support to safeguard the interest and welfare of the Dayaks of Sarawak and protect their rights as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.Bantingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-39208461028502188442012-04-12T12:16:53.209+08:002012-04-12T12:16:53.209+08:00From the 'approachability' point of view,M...From the 'approachability' point of view,Mawan may stand better than Jabu and Masing.We do not hear so much of Mawan scholding the Ibans like Jabu and or fool the Ibans so much like Taukay Masing.But,beware.This Mawan fellow is equally destructive politically and his victims are none other than his own Ibans.He is greedy.His brothers are made Tuai Rumah and Pemancha and his daughter Barbara is a councillor.Without Salang in Julau there are hardly any development in Pakan,Mawan's seat.And Mawan was responsible for the axing of many Tuai Rumahs in Pakan for not supporting him,therefore he also acted like Masing and Mong, the taukays Honestly,he is not a fit person to lead SDNU.Pity to note that SDNU does not have any qualified person in their rank to lead the association to the extent of having to 'appoint' Mawan as their chief.pelacur politikusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-45185389911089550022012-04-12T11:17:52.767+08:002012-04-12T11:17:52.767+08:00Which dayaks in their sane mind would stoop so low...Which dayaks in their sane mind would stoop so low to want the appointment of "towkay" Masing as president of SDNU?<br />The towkay appears to have his perverted democratic definition that once elected he gets to rule the coop with zero tolerance on dissenting views, punishment by withdrawal of welfare allowance and agriculture subsidy on those of differing opinions. A very rich towkay but not a penny to the coffers of SDNU? His generosity speaks volume of his interests and commitment towards the dayak community.Shame!Apai Semalaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-91942452322787882772012-04-12T10:23:18.423+08:002012-04-12T10:23:18.423+08:00Neither Jabu,Masing nor Mawan are qualified to h...Neither Jabu,Masing nor Mawan are qualified to helm SDNU.All these three stooges are good in politicking but zero when it comes to Dayak interest.Jabu has been hypercritical of SDGA .Jabu is critical of DCCI as he was not asked to head DCCI and even mocked the Forum Jako Iban.Therefore Jabu is an enemy of all Dayak NGOs that are not headed by him for his political interest.The same goes for Masing.And these 3 stooges will be super quite when the Dayaks raised their hands to protect their NCR.They will be super quite when the Dayaks ask for the very basic amenities like treated water,roads and electricity and considered themselves as 'TAUKAY' once became meaningless Senior minusters.FubooooApai iraunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-57468454685313510932012-04-10T12:27:59.872+08:002012-04-10T12:27:59.872+08:00With due respect to members of the association (SD...With due respect to members of the association (SDNU), I am of the opinion that YAB Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Hogansiau Alfred has a lot of better and more urgent things to do for the dayak community than to anchor himself with petty SDNU Presidency appointment. So THANK YOU very much to those who may have thought of offering YAB Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Hogansiau Alfred the post.<br /><br />Take my word that it may be YAB Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Hogansiau Alfred who might reject the appointment if offered instead of him and his lieutenant Deputy Hogansiau YAB Tan Sri Dr. James Masing being rejected as claimed. <br /><br />To sign off please remember to vote for BN always.
