“We don't want to quarrel with them. I ask why. They know that illegal bookies are all around the country and the Government don't get any revenue,” he said.

Sibu vote shows difficulties for BN, Pakatan

 May 17, 2010


Despite the win in Sibu, Pakatan Rakyat still faces a tough road ahead. — Picture by Jack Ooi
ANALYSIS, May 17 — DAP’s Sibu win does not mean Pakatan Rakyat can soon win Putrajaya or Petrajaya, but it also shows that Barisan Nasional’s use of the chequebook will no longer impress disgruntled voters.
Wong Ho Leng’s slim 398 vote majority win revealed DAP’s smart use of issues and disenchantment among the Chinese and Christians, which the Najib administration could not solve simply with grants and promises of better times if the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate gets elected.
But it also illustrated that DAP and Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) appeal did not go beyond those communities to the key Melanau/Iban demographic, who stuck to BN and some of whom called DAP ally, PKR, troublemakers.
Just like in the Malay peninsula, PR’s outreach to the dominant communities was only limited to urban areas, and not rural areas which have more Parliamentary and state seats.
“We didn’t get the Iban vote, it’s very close then,” a senior DAP leader told The Malaysian Insider in the tense hours leading to the announcement of official results for the Sibu by-election.
The lack of appeal to rural communities will hamper PR’s quest to capture Sarawak and replace long-serving Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud in state administrative capital, Petrajaya.
The biggest upset was for BN, which stuck to its playbook of development politics by wielding its chequebook to solve issues that had festered under five-term Sibu MP, the late Datuk Robert Lau Hoi Chew, similar to Hulu Selangor which had a laundry list of issues unresolved by four-term MP Datuk G. Palanivel.
Unlike last month’s Hulu Selangor parliamentary by-election which it won narrowly, BN lost Sibu and dented the image of Sabah and Sarawak being its “fixed deposit” in general elections. Both states provided 54 of the 137 seats won by BN in Election 2008, in its worst-ever electoral outing.
BN had expected to win Sibu, as it did Hulu Selangor, by putting a younger candidate backed by the resources of the ruling federal government to almost instantly fulfil the needs of the voters.
Anecdotal evidence showed BN spent up to RM170 million in Hulu Selangor and over RM20 million for Sibu, including unprecedented special grants totalling RM1.75 million to four Methodist churches.
Was it to counter DAP’s strategy of using the “Allah” row or news that the Home Ministry had told the Bible Society of Malaysia last March that it intended to destroy 5,000 copies of the Malay-language bible Al-Kitab?
Sunday’s by-election results have yet to be fully analysed to see if the grants swayed votes to BN, but data from DAP showed voters in Rajang Park snubbed the prime minister’s promise of RM5 million to alleviate floods if SUPP’s Robert Lau Hui Yew won the seat.
The Sibu by-election also showed that Datuk Seri Najib Razak has to stick to his 1 Malaysia mantra of “People First. Performance Now” by resolving issues immediately instead of hoping time will cure them.
Letting the courts refrain from deliberating the “Allah” issue only prolongs the matter and the sense that Christians are not getting equal treatment under the law. Promising to help the Chinese to permanently prevent floods or get them new schools during an election campaign shows they are only seen as vote-banks and nothing more.
This will be the prime minister’s worry as Sarawak will have to hold state elections by July 2011, and long-standing issues have to be resolved if BN does not want to lose the country’s biggest state to PR.
Some saw the Sibu vote as a referendum on the powerful Abdul Taib who has been at the helm since 1981. His absence in the Sibu campaign was noticeable but did not help the coalition retain the seat.
While DAP crows over its closely-fought win in its first by-election since Election 2008 and share the experience with its weaker ally PKR, which has lost six MPs, Najib will have to work hard on delivering economic progress similar to the 2010’s first quarter growth of 10.1 per cent to impress the voters.

DAP takes Sibu, majority 398

11.30pm: Speaking at a press conference, a beaming Wong Ho Leng says: "This victory is one small step in Sibu, one big step to (state administrative capital) Petrajaya, and one giant step to Putajaya."

Robert Lau, meanwhile, expresses sadness: "I'm sad, because Sibu is going to lose out on a lot of things. I have said in my campaign that if we lose, we lose the confidence of the federal government.
"But my heart is still with the people of Sibu and I will serve them in whatever capacity that I can," says the SUPP leader.
NONE11.10pm: A crowd of 3,000 gather outside the main tally centre at Dewan Suarah to celebrate DAP's victory in Sibu. They shout, "Dacing tipu".

Independent Narawi Haron forfeited his RM10,000 deposit for failing to obtain at least one-eighth of the total vote cast.
The Election Commission has revised the voter turnout. It now says the turnout was 70% instead of 59.86% (which is higher than the 68% in the 2008 general elections).
Votes cast - 37,919 votes
Turnout - 70%
Spoilt votes - 395 votes
Majority - 398 votes
Postal votes - 2,429 votes
azlan10.58pm: Election Commission makes official announcement:
DAP - 18,845
BN - 18,447
Ind - 232
Majority - 398

The two-hour delay in the announcement of the result was due to a dispute in the postal ballots where 208 votes were rejected. This however did not change the final result. According to the EC, the dispute was over the validity of witnesses' signature for postal votes.
DAP leaders claimed that there is a discrepancy in the postal vote tally between what they have and the Election Commission's, which caused much anxiety among the opposition that their win could be "stolen".
The final result of the postal ballots:

DAP - 70
BN - 2,323
Ind - 36

Rejected postal votes - 208
On the spot analysis:
DAP won partly because 208 'dodgy' postal votes were rejected and that independent candidate Narawi Haron helped take away 232 votes which most probably would go to BN.
10.55pm: Election Commission is expected to announce that DAP has won the Sibu by-election with a majority of 398.
On the spot analysis:
Pakatan Rakyat has managed to reverse its series of losses (Bagan Pinang and Hulu Selangor) with this win in Sibu.

AZLANOf the 11 by-election since March 2008, Pakatan has won eight while BN three. Sibu is also Pakatan's first victory in East Malaysia (PKR lost in Batang Ai in April last year).
For DAP, this is the first by-election which the party has won in 13 years. Sibu will be the party's second parliamentary seat in Sarawak to its existing Bandar Kuching. It also cemented its position as the biggest opposition party in Malaysia with 29 parliament seats under its belt.
With the defeat in Sibu, BN may delay the Sarawak state election to next year. Sarawak will need to call the state polls by middle of next year.
NONE10.35pm: It appears that there was some minor dispute over the postal ballots. However, it is learnt that the Election Commission will be announcing the result soon.
It is almost certain that DAP has won this closely fought by-election by between 300 and 400 votes.
10.30pm: SUPP Sibu chief Wong Soon Koh at Wisma Sanyan criticised Lim Guan Eng for acting rude by "leading people to come to 'kacau'."
"This is not a healthy culture," he said.

Robert Lau is also reported to be dissatisfied that Lim and four other DAP members met with the SPR officer without the presence of Barisan people. They said they will "consider taking the election dispute to court."
10.15pm: At the main tally centre in Dewan Suarah, two SUPP officials are meeting with returning officer Wong See Meng. It is believed that they are discussing about the delay in the announcing of postal vote results.

They are later joined by DAP officials Ng Wei Aik, Lim Lip Eng and Ronnie Liu.
It is still raining in Sibu. The rain began about two hours ago. Supporters from both sides, many of them holding umbrellas, are waiting calmly outside Dewan Suarah.
10.10pm: Election Commission chief Abdul Aziz Yusof tells Malaysiakini in an SMS message that the postal ballots Form 15 is on its way to the main tally centre in Dewan Suarah.
"EC is waiting for the official postal ballot result," he says.

Meanwhile, EC deputy chief Wan Ahmad Wan Omar says the commission will explain the delay soon.
"I'll explain after we announce the result shortly," he tells Malaysiakini.
10.09pm: All top DAP leaders are waiting at Wisma Sanyan, where the postal ballots were counted.

Lim Guan Eng tells Malaysiakini that he is worried “something suspicious could be going on” and he hopes that the Election Commission officials can release the Form 15, a document which certifies the final result of the postal ballots.

Should it be true that BN has won the postal votes by a margin of 2,300, then DAP will be declared the winner of the Sibu by-election with a tissue-thin majority of 300 votes.

It is confirmed that Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin has returned to Kuala Lumpur.

There is no movement at the main tally centre in Dewan Suarah in Sibu. The official tally still indicates that 16 boxes, including the postal votes, are yet to be sent to be included in the final result.
9.50pm: DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang questions the hold-up in the Election Commission's announcement of the 2,571 postal ballots.
"The postal ballot counting started at 5.30pm and finished at 8.30pm."
He asks why there is more than an hour delay in the announcement of results.
"Up to some trick?" he wonders aloud.
9.35pm: The counting of postal votes has ended. However, DAP scrutineers are unable to get Form 15 - the official tally signed by the returning officer.
It is understood that BN has won 2,300 out of a total 2,571 postal votes. This will translate into a DAP victory with a margin of 300 votes.
DAP candidate Wong Ho Leng refuses to claim victory as yet.

"I don't want comment. Please wait for the official announcement," he told Malaysiakini.
9.24pm: The final result may not be announced anytime soon. The 2,571 postal votes are still being counted. All DAP leaders leave the party's operations room in Sibu for Wisma Sanyan where the postal votes are being tallied.

DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang wants to know what is holding up the Election Commission from announcing the by-election result.
9.21pm: Election Commission chief Abdul Aziz Yusof sends a SMS message to Malaysiakini saying that the voter turnout "could be more than 60 percent".

Malaysiakini has earlier asked him to confirm whether the voter turnout was 59.86% as announced by the EC a few hours ago.
9.10pm: Penang Chief Minister and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and other party leaders are set to leave the party's operations room in Sibu.
But instead of going to main tally centre at Dewan Suarah, they plan to go to Wisma Sanyan, where the postal votes are being counted.
8.57pm: According to the latest unofficial tally, BN has reduced DAP's lead down to 2,590 votes. A total of 109 out of 110 polling streams have been counted thus far.
DAP - 18,570
BN - 15,980
Ind - 201
Majority - 2,590
On the spot analysis:
Only one polling stream and 2,571 postal votes yet to be included. BN is expected to win over 90% of these votes but will it be enough for it to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat?
8.40pm: An umbrella revolution is swelling outside of the main tally centre at Dewan Suarah, with 200 people standing in the rain to show their support for DAP's Wong Ho Leng.
Around 200 cops estimated in area, but no untoward incidents so far. No top leaders from either BN or Pakatan Rakyat are there at the moment.

However, two DAP MPs - Anthony Loke and Jeff Ooi - have claimed victory.

"Sibu Pakatan Rakyat set to win by wafer-thin majority... probably less than one hundred!" says Loke in his tweet message.
On the spot analysis:DAP is close to victory but it is still too close to call. By all estimates, the margin of victory will be in the hundreds.
8.13pm: A crowd of supporters stand with umbrellas in the rain outside the counting centre compound, chanting "Wong Ho Leng" (DAP candidate) off and on as they wait for the official result to be announced.

The projector outside the centre however has gone offline, and no

On the spot analysis

It appears that DAP has benefitted from a slight swing of Chinese voters. However, there is no change in Iban and Malay/Melanau vote. Indeed, BN could have won more votes from these two groups.

DAP will need to a sizable lead if it is to win this by-election as it is expected that BN will get the lion share of the 2,537 postal votes, which are yet to be counted.

According to DAP sources, they won in all Chinese-majority polling streams but the turnout was low, especially among young voters.

Rm$18 Million to swing Sibu Chinese votes

Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony
Thank you but no thanks

I can understand the gratitude of the Chinese educators in Sibu over the Rm$18 million allocation given by Najib during the BUY-ELECTION in P212 Sibu.
  • Rm$10 million to go to 60 Chinese Medium primary schools
  • Rm$5 million to go to Chinese Medium Secondary Schools
  • Rm$2 million to SMK Sacred Heart
  • Rm$1 million to St Mary
The allocation is timely, as it is given during the buy-election to buy the Chinese votes in Sibu plus those from the mission schools. The crux of the story is: is this going to be a one-off affair or will the Government come up with a consistent policy to help Chinese Medium and Mission schools on an annual basis.

Extreme Politicking
I can also understand the BN supporters jumping up and down with joy for this allocation. But then, don’t you wonder what happen to the Chinese Medium schools and Mission Schools in other parts of Sarawak.
The Government need to be consistent and transparent with their policy towards giving aids to such schools. As it is today, 47 years since independent, this “kindness” appear at a time when the people are trying to make a decision to support the Government or to support the Opposition.
It seems, the Government is trying to bribe the people of Sibu with public money. This money is from our tax, nothing much to shout about like : “only BN can bring development to the people”. Actually BN is a coalition of political party that formed the Government and headed by UMNO. Why did BN, as a political entity start to use public money to gain vote.
The Chinese Voting trend
In the many BUY-election, BN has tried to buy the Chinese vote. The Kuala Trengganu etc and the latest in Hulu Selangor proved that the Chinese are politically objective in their approach. Such “mee segera” do not swing their vote. Does the “mee segera of Rm$18 million” help to ease the financial burden of Chinese medium schools in Sibu areas – yes it does. Will it swing the vote back to BN – that is the Rm$18 million question. I think not.
The Chinese are NOT voting Opposition politics. The Chinese votes for justice, equality, fairness, level playing field, good business environment etc. There are many examples of good things that the Government did but mostly the Government is seen to practice double standards among races and double standard within SUPP. The elite SUPP families become very rich while ordinary Chinese have to struggle the normal hard way to make ends meet.
BN candidate Robert Lau Jr. come from one such elite family. The KTS group of companies that control timber business, plantation, reforestation, retailing and even the print media. The question is – do we want to perpetuate a KTS Dynastic in Sarawak?
Education – rural schools
The Deputy Prime Minister acknowledged that some rural schools are worst then the Felda schools in Malaya. Do you understand what that mean? It means the worst schools in Malaya are in Felda scheme areas – yet when compared to Sarawak Government school, the worst schools in Malaya is much better then the normal rural school in Sarawak.
Why does it takes the Government 47 years to notice this situation. The next question is what will the Government do about it?.
In Malaya the school facilities are first class in every aspects and the Government continue to drive selected “racial based” school to have state of the art educational equipment and facilities.
As a Sarawakian, my question is what is the Government doing to improve the schools in Sarawak, especially rural school. We are not talking about computers, LCD projectors, electronic white board etc. We are asking for schools without leaking roofs, schools with adequate tables and chairs, schools with proper living quarters for teachers, schools with electricity, with clean water, school with open field where children can play soccer on, school with proper river crossing, with good walking pathway etc.
Hell NO! after 47 years of independence through the formation of Malaysia we are still at below the basic level in our rural schools facilities. For us Sarawakian, that is what we are voting for. We know BN is all promises and personal richest for the BN politician, yet the rural people are poor and with very little opportunity to change their life.
Conclusion
It is better for the Government to have a comprehensive policy to help Chinese medium, Indian Medium, and for Dayak Iban language to be taught up to tertiary level.
It is NOT good to see BN praising themselves for their misdeed in using public money to buy vote. If BN want to win through bribery, we must not vote for such people. Why? By voting such BN people, we are voting “corruption”.  In an election they must be fair play and we all can see that this is no fairness at all. It is deceit at the highest level by the highest echelon of leadership.
