PENERANGAN SAPP TENOM LETAK JAWATAN

Oleh: AMBROSE MAIL MATHEW BERKUATKUASA hari ini April 13, 2011 saya MAIL BIN MATHEW @ AMBROSE 60, mengumumkan perletakkan jawatan sebagai PEGAWAI PENERANGAN SAPP CLC Melalap termasuk sebagai ahli SAPP.

Keputusan ini memang berat sekali dibuat dalam keadaan rakyat Sabah inginkan pembaharuan kerajaan selepas pada PRU13 namun selepas memikirkan semasak masak tindak tanduk politik dalaman SAPP khususnya di CLC Melalap bagaikan ada usaha pihak tertentu untuk menidakkan (menyingkirkan) kepimpinan saya dalam parti itu yang telah pun saya sedari sejak beberapa bulan lalu namun sebagai ‘orang lama’ dalam politik saya berdiam diri dan akur apa sahaja perkara yang tidak menempat dalam naluri saya.

Saya ingin berterus terang bahawa kepimpinan SAPP Tenom perlu dirombak corak kepimpinannya daripada mengekalkan pemimpin ‘surat khabar lama’ seperti yang ada sekarang kepada ‘pemimpin alab baru’ jika parti itu ingin menawan semula hati rakyat khususnya pengundi muda dikawasan Melalap dan Kemabong termasuk Parlimen.

Penampilan Peguam muda Roger Stimin dalam SAPP Tenom merupakan impak yang paling berkesan bagi mengapung semula kegemilangan SAPP dimata masyarakat disini yang sepatutnya usaha usaha meremajakan kepimpinan SAPP terus diusahakan dan berlaku sebelum PRU13.

Namun sayang seribu kali sayang, belum pun sempat usaha itu berkembang, sudah ada riak riak sekerat dua pemimpin mengekang usaha saya untuk membantu mengangkat Roger Stimin ke persada perjuangan politik ditengah tengah gelanggang rakyat/pengundi.

Berbagai alasan yang diberi pemimpin berkenaan seperti ‘ Roger perlu kena jumpa Presiden dulu’, ‘ Roger kena ikut kursus induksi dulu’ dan berbagai ragam lagi. Saya ingin bertanya kepada pemimpin pemin ini…bukankah kepimpinan SAPP termasuk Presidennya yang inginkan seorang pemimpin muda dan terpelajar ditonjolkan menjadi calun pada PRU13 mewakili SAPP? Kalaulah benar…kenapa mesti mahu jumpa Presiden dan sebagainya dan kenapa tidak buat gerak kerja dulu untuk menilai prestasinya.

Pemimpin pemimpin SAPP harus sedar bahawa mereka kini mendepani tugas berat untuk meyakinkan rakyat/pengundi disemua kawasan diSabah khususnya di Melalap,Kemabong dan Parlimen Tenom kerana jasa dan bakti SAPP ketika dalam kerajaan BN suatu ketika dahulu sudah luput dari ingatan rakyat dan harus diperbaharui lagi dengan inisiatif lain menerui “Pelan Transformasi baru SAPP” untuk meyakinkan semula rakyat/pengundi sebaliknya pemimpin jenis ‘surat khabar lama’ perlu berundur kebelakang untuk memberi laluan kepada pemimpin muda alab baru seperti Roger Stimin.

Saya cabar Naib Presiden SAPP dan Ketua CLC Melalap merangkap Ketua CLC Kemabong dan Nabawan termasuk iparnya Datuk Frankie Chong supaya bertanding dalam PRU13 mana satu kawasan yang dipilih mereka atas nama SAPP dan disitu rakyat akan nilai sendiri apakah hasilnya kelak.

Sebagai ‘orang lama’ dalam politik lebih kurang 30 tahun lalu, tetap dalam prinsip saya bahawa saya tidak akan berhijrah kemana mana parti selepas ini malah akan duduk sebagai seorang pemerhati bebas dan disitu saya akan melihat dan memerhati sejauh manakah ketangkasan SAPP dalam sepak terjangnya dalam gelanggang politik ketika menjelang PRU13.

Selamat berjuang!

CERAMAH NAJIB HAMBAR DISARAWAK?

Pakatan's top guns draw yet another huge crowd while Najib has people walking out on him.
KUCHING: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak was greeted with virtual disinterest when he spoke at a half empty hall here last night, telling of Barisan Nasional’s dim chances to regain the state’s capital. To add salt to the injury, witnesses – including reporters from the government-linked media – said close to 8,000 thronged Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s event at a separate venue.
The “Meet The Leaders” event last night was Najib’s first official campaigning day in Kuching where the predominantly Chinese electorate is known to be spiteful of the state BN government under Chief Minister Taib Mahmud.

Attempts by Najib to woo the crowd by boasting of the government’s supposed economic success met with a disappointing response as droves donning the 1Malaysia t-shirt walked out of the 3,000 capacity Kuching Council Stadium.

The crowd, about 1,000, also appeared to be unmoved by the revelation that the federal government has plans to turn Kuching into a “health metropolis” and a health tourism centre.

Najib, however, went on with his speech, echoing past statements that only BN can deliver the goods while the opposition can only give promises.

“Don’t be fooled by their slogan of change. What they can do is just give you promises but there is no guarantee that it can be delivered,” he said.

The premier has packed his schedule with six days on the campaign trail, even cancelling his Cabinet meeting this Friday to focus on the Sarawak election, an unprecedented move.

But his effort has backfired with the opposition intensely capitalising on this, describing it as a sign of desperation on BN’s side.

Najib’s fate and future plans for the nation hinge on the outcome of the Sarawak polls, a gauge to the support he has and whether or not he can call for a snap general election.

Pakatan Rakyat holds all except one of the five state seats in Kuching and is likely to maintain status quo as far as the state capital is concerned.









Pakatan sets the night on fire

Meanwhile, about 20km away in Batu Kawah, traffic was backed up for almost three kilometres as people thronged the grassy patch where Pakatan was holding its ceramah.

They even perched on vehicles along the new Batu Kawah bridge to hear fiery speeches from Anwar, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.

Anwar delivered an impassioned speech on why Sarawak needed change and urged the people to reclaim their rights which have long been lost to them. He also declared that Pakatan will win the Pandugan seat and the crowd shouted back an affirmation.

Padungan is seeing a three-cornered fight after former PKR Sarawak state chief, Dominique Ng, left the party to defend his seat as an independent.

A huge cheer erupted when Nik Aziz took to the stage and greeted the crowd in Mandarin. The PAS spiritual leader, more fondly known as Tok Guru, spoke about justice and equality for all as was intended by God.

He also made a brief mention of Kelantan’s controversial decision to ban all forms of gambling in the state.

“Gambling paralyses the mind,” he said. “This is unlike making money thorough a business which invigorates it. When you gamble you don’t need to think. This is why we want it banned.”

Lim, meanwhile, had the crowd in stitches as he took swipes at Taib and SUPP president George Chan.

“Sarawak has oil, timber and even crocodiles,” he said to shouts of laughter. “But this crocodile is two-legged and white which makes it very dangerous.”

“So I urge you to choose a representative that is brave enough to hunt a white crocodile and I call upon you to be white crocodile hunters yourselves!”

Lim also promised RM1,000 a year for every senior citizen should Pakatan form the next state government. To the crowd’s delight, he then proceeded to entertain them with a song and dance pertaining to corruption in Sarawak.

But there was also a sober moment when he acknowledged the previous weak Chinese support for DAP in Batu Kawah.

“We received less than 50% of Chinese votes from here in 2006,” he told the crowd. “To win this battle of the century we have to win Batu Kawah.”

This seat is the toughest of DAP’s four Kuching seats with greenhorn, Christina Chiew, going up against BN veteran, Tan Joo Phoi.
