It may not mean much to BN Sarawak. Not for now, at least. Anwar Ibrahim is in town and he is making the rounds in Lubuk Antu.
Malaysiakini reported on Anwar's campaign trail. Whilst in Kampong Nanga, the upper longhouse, with tiled floors and brickwall declined PKR's request to hold a ceramah there but did not stop PKR from holding the ceramah in the lower longhouse, built with poles and wooden planks. Except for the upper longhouse chief, the rest of his wards gathered at the lower longhouse to hear what Anwar has to offer. This is frightening news to BN Sarawak.
The response is good for Anwar which is doubly good for PKR. Now, just to translate that into votes.
It seems that BN Sarawak, particularly Alfred Jabu, is getting restless with the bloggers. Jabu has termed bloggers as "specialist instigators". This clearly show that Sarawak bloggers are making good inroads into the voters minds. And that also means that the more IT savvy readers are passing the information down to the other potential voters. And this is scaring the hell out of Jabu and BN Sarawak.
Star reported that BN is trying to make inroads into "danger areas" seeking for support and voters. BN is worried that the younger generations of voters may be more inclined to make "drastic decisions" read vote PKR come 7th April 2009. BN is getting worried with the more urban based voters.
BN still believed ythat the traditionsal longhouse dwellers shall be voting for them. If the Kampong Nanga longhouse is made as a barometer, BN may be left with only the longhouse chiefs voting for them whilst his wards may be voting PKR.
To all Sarawak bloggers...Jabu is panicking and that means your blogging is effective. Continue blogging...never let up. Put BN on the defensive...
It is also clear that BN is getting worried with the younger generations of voters. To this, let's all the urban based voters make a small sacrifice and return home to cast your votes.
Remember...a small step today leads to a giant step tomorrow...All for the name of a better Sarawak and a better Malaysia...
Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...

Dear psc
I will revert to the original colours soon. Without saying out loud, I am actually on protest when I consider Malaysia democracy takes a backseat on 3rd March 2009, the day when Perak state assembly is locked.(refer to 3rd March 2009 posting).
