Race is not a factor says Lim Guan Eng about the Sarawak elections here.
Would you believe him or would you let him pulled that wool over your eyes that race was not a factor! How in hell can DAP garnered 12 seats and PKR only 3 and PAS 0, if the people did not vote on racial line.
This father and son team is truly amazing. Drowning in their own stupefying intelligence.Do they think Malaysians are that stupid?
He said “Those trying to twist the result into a racial issue are acting irresponsibly. The results of the 2011 Sarawak Election have proven that the desire and movement for change is not confined to one community alone but spread across the various communities of Sarawak"
Liar!
Who is he trying to fool saying “All Sarawakians declared in a loud voice that they have had enough of Taib and his brand of monopolistic politics"
Without doubts the oppositions have made some inroads but did Taib not get two-thirds majority and most Malays and non-Malay natives voted for his party? Did or not the majority in PBB contested areas increased more than in previous elections? Did PBB candidates lose any of the seats contested?
If what he says is true why than PKR and PAS did not do well in Sarawak?
While BN successfully retained its two-thirds majority its popular vote dipped by eight per cent to 54.5 per cent, indicating that its hold over the hornbill state, long considered its “fixed deposit”, slipped considerably.
That drop of 8 percent was mainly Chinese votes so don't try that statistical trick.
Even Bridget Welsh analysis using the term semi-rural instead of semi-urban is a spoof. She failed to mention significant Chinese presence in these areas that helped to swing the votes to the opposition.
Guan Eng, who you trying to fool, there is serious racial polarisation in the country. You and your father had a hand in it other than those in Perkasa,Utusan and UMNO.
You and your father have chosen subtle brainwashing and indoctrination to rile up the emotions of the Chinese in this country.
Believe me, unless something out of the ordinary happened between now and PRU13, DAP will get almost all Chinese seats.
After that, you can come back and tell me if race is not a factor.

Becoming harder to forgive Mahathir - by a Moron.
Kota Kinabalu: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad stepping down as Prime Minister was enough for many in Sabah to forgive but his latest book and comments made it difficult to do this, according to Sabah DAP Chief, Jimmy Wong.
He said for the record, Mahathir's policy on Sabah had hurt many people, especially the non-Muslim Natives.
The so-called much publicised book "Projek IC" by MD Mutalib where it was stated that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants were systematically legalised and entered into the electoral roll was the most outstanding legacy he (Mahathir) left behind for Sabah, he said in a statement, Tuesday.
Wong said Sabah DAP was not surprised with the former Prime Minister's statement saying that DAP is a racist party and that Sarawak has now been infected with the DAP racist virus.
Jimmy added that his latest book "A Doctor In The House" reflected on the inner side of Dr Mahathir.
The Sri Tanjung Assemblyman said he wanted to advise Mahathir that time is not on his side.
"People say we must repent and spend more time to get to know and get closer to our Creator as we grow older into our twilight," he said and believed Dr Mahathir should enjoy his retirement and grow old gracefully.Daily Express

Who Says Hard For BN To Get Two-Thirds?
Hantu Laut
Read all the past predictions by some of our local professors and see which one of their educated guesses had been accurate.Gazing at the crystal ball most probably!
In the March 2008 General Elections two very learned persons predicted that BN will get two-thirds majority, one was Assoc Prof Dr Mohamed Mustaffa Ishak and the other political analyst Assoc Prof Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff. Both were wrong.
Mustapha Ishak said " the minor political, economic and racial issues raised by the opposition during the campaign in this general election would not be able to deny BN the two-third majority, let alone topple the government"
Another political analyst Assoc Prof Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff echoed the same. He even predicted Penang to remain with BN and Kelantan a tough fight for both PAS and BN. The rest is history.BN got the biggest thrashing of its life.
Here we come again the same professor predicting BN will not get two-thirds majority in PRU 13.Read them at your own perils.PRU 12 prediction here.
I bet he be wrong again.
BN is likely to get two-thirds majority with a very Malay dominated government.
A similar scenario of what happened in Sarawak recently would be repeated in PRU 13.Taib has shown that he doesn't need Chinese votes to get two-third majority.
Taib Mahmud has shown his political prowess by clean sweep of all PBB seats.The failure was SUPP who had fallen victim to DAP vicious propaganda.
In spite of the vicious diatribe on his person and allegations of massive corruptions Taib survived the onslaught and had been a major factor in the victory.The PM and DPM have played equally big roles in his victory.
MCA disastrous outing in PRU12 is pale compared to what in store for them in PRU13.MCA, Gerakan and all Chinese based parties in Sabah and Sarawak would be near total decimation and almost all Chinese seats would go to DAP.
The small windfall in Sarawak was no indication of its growing popularity.The win was more the candidate than the party.Tenacious Anwar would continue with his political charade. PKR would be on life support.
It is also very possible PAS would have left the coalition by then.The Malays, except for the educated fools and the dreamers who think Malaysia can be America would have consolidated their positions to counter the Chinese cohesion.
UMNO may have no choice but to repossess all marginal seats given to Chinese based parties in Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak. The demand for return of these seats back to UMNO would be extremely loud.
Unless Najib can come up with a magic formula,unfortunately, always shot down by DAP, Malaysia is heading for an unprecedented racial polarisation come PRU13.

Malaysians now have higher spending power than Singaporeans: Updated UBS study
While Singapore may boast a record 14.7 percent economic growth last year, the domestic purchasing power of ordinary Singaporeans has decreased, that it now lags behind the Malaysians, according to an updated version of the authoritative UBS study – “Prices and Earnings”. (download updated study here)
In the UBS study, domestic purchasing power is measured by dividing the average annual salary by the total price of a selected basket of goods and services, the higher the figure, the higher one’s purchasing power is.
In the 2009 UBS study, Singaporeans have a low purchasing power of only 39.9 which is only slightly more than Malaysians living in Kuala Lumpur (39.5).
However in the updated study published in August 2010, the order is reversed:
The domestic purchasing power of Singaporeans drop to 38.8, falling behind that of Malaysians (39.3).
Domestic purchasing power is now widely accepted by many economists as a more reliable and accurate economic indicator of prosperity on the ground than GDP which only measures the overall economic output of a nation and disregards the living conditions of its citizens.
The new result is not surprising as rampant inflation has eroded the spending power of Singaporeans while their wages have remained stagnant, caused partly by the relentless influx of cheap foreign workers.
If Malaysians working in Kuala Lumpur have a higher domestic purchasing power than Singaporeans, then Malaysians working in Singapore will surely have much higher disposable income when converted back to Ringgit back home which explains the reluctance of many Malaysian PRs to take up Singapore citizenships, thereby enabling them to enjoy the ‘best of both worlds.’
The shocking findings are not reported by the mainstream media nor the PAP leaders who continue to harp on GDP growth as the sole indicator of their performance to justify their multi-million dollar salaries.
Singapore leaders and diplomats better think twice before taking a jibe at our neighbors for being in a ‘mess’ because of ‘incompetent’ leaders because the Malaysians actually have more spending power than Singaporeans who are supposedly led by the ‘best’ government in the entire universe.Temasek Review
Here is the politically motivated article from Malaysian Insider fits for the rubbish bins.They avoided mentioning that Singapore is worse than KL.
