Sarawak N29 : Round 4...BN's unfulfilled promises...

As said, the numbers are not much. Just 8006. But this 8006 can either make you or break you.

For the past 25 years, BN has keep on promising them development, compensation, resettlement deals, land titles etc. Where are the promises? Are they fulfilled by BN?

The Star, in its report dated 3rd April 2009, told of the plight of 5000 odd Ibans who were displaced by the Batang Ai hydro-electric dam 25 years ago who are still waiting for BN to fulfill their promises.

Year after year, BN keeps promising them the same thing. And year after year, teh promises are not kept. And what are those promises?

1. Land title - outstanding since 25 years ago;
2. Compensation deal of 11 acres per family - outstanding since 25 years ago;
3. Infrastructure woes (electricity and disrupted water supply) - still not done;
4. Toilet leaks and wall cracks - government allocation of RM5000 per longhouse per few years is not enough;

The longhouses are not getting any bigger, the families are. Right now, the young ones have left the longhouse for accomodation as the longhouse has no space for them.

The displaced family do not have enough land to cultivate due to this unfulfilled promises.

5000 odd Ibans may be chicken feed for the Government but this 5000 odd Ibans with their immediate families can send BN tumbling down in Batang Ai...

5000 odd Ibans are much better than 300 odd Spartans. 5000 odd Ibans can rewrite the history of Sarawak. 5000 odd Ibans can start the ball rolling. Soon 5000 odd Ibans can create an avalache to drown BN.

Unfulfilled promises. Promises not kept for the last 25 years. There is only 1 remedy for that. Send a strong message to BN on 7th April 2009. We want change!! Vote for PKR !!!

BN may come running now, but believe me...once they win Batang Ai, if they win...the promises will again remains unfulfilled for the next 25 years...

Say good bye to BN, say good riddance to BN...

5000 odd Ibans lead the way to Sarawak's future...the journey starts from Batang Ai...

7th April 2009...history will be created. BN will be defeated...

Round 4...goes to the rakyat...

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
