The Coming Sarawak state election

Sarawak will be having its state election soon. Taib has been the CM for many decades. It is time for him to step down. The Supp chief, Chan, must also step down as he has failed to fight for the rights of Sarawakians. Both men are more interested in getting young wives than serving the rakyats.

Though finally PR has sorted out seats allocation between DAP and PKR, the future is not very bright for PR because Sarawak has got too many ignorant and uneducated people who are grateful to Chan and Taib or the state government. They are interested in short term gains only. And the ruling parties will hand out a lot iof goodies to buy votes.
The One Malaysia organization will come and distyribute the goodies to buy votes.
Morever the interior parts of Sarawak are inaccesible to PR. The PR lacks money, manpower and the main stream media will be fully behind BN.

Perhaps, the PR can capitalize on the issues of corruptions, the bible issues, the interlock and abuse of power. This will work in urban areas dominated by Chinese. Where natives are concerned, they are more interested in which party can give them money, rice, sugar or other personal gains.

The PR must have good strategies or else it will not be able to win the seats it expects to win.
