"Pakatan: Tommorrow will be better cos we'll steal less but NO PROMISE though ... Hehehe !"

Deny BN 2/3 majority in Sarawak polls to send powerful message to all Sarawakians and Malaysians – “Tomorrow can be better!”

Message Lim Ah Siang & Son Private Limited Company

Sarawak general elections eve of Polling Day message Tomorrow is the polling day for the 10th Sarawak state general elections – the most important Sarawak general elections in 48 years since 1963. It is also the first time that a state general elections will have a powerful, immediate and direct impact on national politics and policies – thanks to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak who “closed down” Putrajaya for six days and directed the entire Cabinet to campaign in Sarawak! As a result, Najib has added a new dimension to the April 16 polls – giving Sarawakians the unprecedented opportunity to pass verdict not only on the performance and record of the Chief Minister and Sarawak Barisan Nasional but also on the Prime Minister and the Barisan Nasional Malaysia-wide.l Sarawak voters tomorrow have a double-barrelled challenge – at minimum to deny the Barisan Nasional two-thirds majority in the Sarawak State Assembly majority to send two clear and unmistakable messages, viz:

• firstly to Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud that he should step down as Chief Minister not “in a few years time” but by tomorrow itself; and • secondly to Najib that his signature policies of 1Malaysia, Government Transformation Programme and New Economic Model have failed to pass the test as they are just empty slogans bereft of real substance of reforms.

Najib’s 1Malaysia has been reduced into a “1 T-Shirt, 1 Tupperware, 1 burger” circus, after Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had declared that he is Malay first, Malaysian second! Today, Taib gave Najib’s 1Malaysia one final cynical blow, abusing his powers of state immigration autonomy by denying one Indian, one Malay and one Chinese (Ambiga Sreenivasan, Haris Ibrahim and Wong Chin Huat) their fundamental right to enter Sarawak to “pursue legitimate political activity” to monitor the Sarawak elections tomorrow to ensure it is clean, free and fair! Yesterday, the Prime Minister made a “passionate appeal to Sarawakians not to ‘ditch’ Barisan Nasional just because they are angry with weaknesses in the state and federal governments’ machinery or with Barisan parties or leaders”. (Star 15.4.11) Clearly, the Prime Minister has admitted that the Barisan Nasional government and leaders, whether at state or federal levels, have gravely and greatly failed Sarawakians with their arrogance, unaccountability, misrule, abuses of power and corrupt practices. All the more that the voters of Sarawak should at minimum tomorrow deny the Barisan Nasional two-thirds majority in the Sarawak state assembly to send out the powerful message to all Sarawakians and Malaysians – “Tomorrow Can Be Better!”

"Pakatan to f** with GHOST at the Longhouses !"

'Ghostbusters' sent out to watch polling in longhouses

Success

Pakatan is deploying campaign workers and 'spies' to camp in longhouses from tonight to collect any evidence of money politics. In a bid to counter allegations of vote buying that is said will peak in the rural constituencies of Sarawak tonight, Pakatan Rakyat is deploying its campaign workers and 'spies' to camp in longhouses to collect possible evidence of money politics. Vote buying is said to be rampant during nights before polling days, especially in the Iban areas. Natives in the longhouses will stay up the whole night, waiting for agents from political parties to visit them with cash handouts. Malaysiakini was told by a kapitan (headman of a Chinese village longhouse) that a name list of voters had been submitted to polling agents from the BN, who would distribute the money tonight, according to the list. Election campaign directors from PKR and DAP based in various rural constituencies said they were aware of the 'carpet bombing' strategy to pump money into the constituencies at the eleventh hour, and they have made the necessary preparations to counter this. "Maybe we can't send people to all the longhouses, but we want to send out the strongest message possible to our rival that 'we are watching you'," a PKR campaign director contacted by Malaysiakini said. The DAP in Sri Aman has adopted a more aggressive approach - offering cash rewards to whistleblowers who can capture vote-buying on their mobile phones or camera. "A reliable source told us that RM1 million has been withdrawn from a bank in Sri Aman," said DAP Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi (above, left), who has been stationed in Sri Aman to campaign for the party's Simanggang candidate Leon Donald. Ooi also named a tuai rumah and a Sri Aman local councillor in his microblogging website Twitter, who he said were vote-buying agents. However, in Malay majority rural constituencies such as Beting Maro, where PAS is said to have the best chance of making a historical breakthrough, money politics is not a pressing issue. "We don't have any specific strategy to counter vote-buying. What we have done is to remind the voters, every day, that no matter how much money they are given, they ought to vote for PAS," the party's campaign officer Jamaludin Ishak said.

Wrath of the Hornbills

FMT LETTER

From Singa Pura Pura

The kingdom of the hornbill
Taken by the white wizard
For his own delight to ravish
And to the brim his coffers replenish

The lyric of the hornbill
Upon deaf ears did fall
For two score years and ten
The hornbill was wingless in her land

The wrath of the hornbill
The Federation never did whiff
For it blew down the white palace
Like the gust of a thousand furnace

At last the hornbill canst soar in flight
Oer the land it regained from the blight
The shroud of the white wizard once lifted
Hosanna from the beak of each hornbill is heard

Part II Who killed Althantuya?

Many would agree with me that RPK is Raja Spin of Malaysian Internet community. However in a country of 28 mill people, the audience of these spin is a small fraction of the entire internet community. On the other hand Malaysian Government controlled media (TV and newspaper) also spins issues regularly. The real true King spinners is the government that controlled RTM, TV3 and the many news paper. They have access to almost the entire population which makes them king in their business of spin.

In my previous post, some commentators are very clear of the issues on hand. There are others who are smart and intelligent but pretend to be nave and try to divert the focus of the readers. Sometimes I wonder how these people go to sleep at night. Despite their intelligence in analyzing issues, they chose to look the other way and pretend to be nave. I can understand if they are not smart but with strings of degrees one would expect some independent of thoughts and not to disagree for the sake of disagreement.

We all know who pulled the trigger and laced the body with C4 and shred the body to million pieces. The soul may have gone upstairs in small disjointed pieces. The real issue of hand is why did they do it? Is it about money or sex or both? How is that core players who did not pull the trigger actually are common people that is well known to Razak and the son of Razak? Is it not relevant to national security?

Would you believe me If I postulate that Singapore Security and Intelligence Division (SID) has some crucial and valuable information. This information would prove to be detrimental to national security. What is the probability that the UTK man is actually out in the street and currently living overseas? Before you expound your thoughts on this postulations, please take into account that I say it is Anwar in the sex video.

Right now, I wish the best to PR in Sarawak to ensure that they would create a balance of power in the state. Lets pray for this to happen. We have seen how too much power is bad for everyone.

Rakyat Sarawak mahu Ubah Baru Bian....

Menjelang Pilihan Raya Negeri Sarawak pada 16 April ini, KEADILAN dan Pakatan Rakyat yakin mampu membuat kejutan besar bagi menumbangkan keangkuhan Barisan Nasional (BN) yang dipimpin Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud. Pelbagai isu seperti kemiskinan, kemudahan infrastruktur teruk di pedalaman, isu tanah adat, kekayaan yang dijarah pimpinan BN antara isu yang dijangka menarik sokongan rakyat Sarawak kepada Pakatan Rakyat.

KeadilanDaily menemu ramah Pengerusi Majlis Pimpinan Negeri KEADILAN Sarawak, Baru Bian bagi mendapatkan lebih jelas tentang persediaan KEADILAN bagi menghadapi pilihan raya kali ini. . Ikuti temu bual bersama Baru Bian bersama wartawan KeadilanDaily, Sidiqin Omar.

Setakat ini, bagaimana sambutan rakyat Sarawak terhadap KEADILAN dan Pakatan Rakyat amnya?

Saya berpendapat, buat pertama kalinya, kita di Sarawak mempunyai satu keyakinan dan harapan yang realistik untuk mengambil alih pentadbiran dan memerintah Sarawak.
Saya katakan perkara ini berdasarkan reaksi rakyat Sarawak dalam lawatan kita ke seluruh Sarawak sebelum Dewan undangan Negeri dibubarkan, dan selepas penamaan calon. Di kawasan yang kita tandingi, kita mendapat sambutan yang sungguh menggalakkan dan sentimen orang tempatan benar-benar berubah.

Kita merasa peluang kita untuk berjaya sangat cerah, meskipun BN menimbulkan kempen bersifat material kerana mereka tidak mempunya isu yang mendalam. Berbanding Pakatan Rakyat yang membawa pelbagai isu seperti kemiskinan, rasuah, tanah adat, isu kebebasan beragama dan kedudukan Sarawak dalam perjanjian 1963. Kesemua ini adalah isu yang sah (valid). Oleh sebab itu saya percaya rakyat Sarawak sekarang ini sudah sedar dan saya berbesar harapan bahawa kita akan berjaya.

Apa yang bole! h ditawa r oleh Pakatan Rakyat dan KEADILAN?

Satu daripadanya adalah isu tentang perjanjian masuk Sarawak ke dalam Malaysia selepas merdeka yang merupakan satu isu yang penting. Kita perjuangkan isu ini bukan hanya pada ketika pilihan raya, tetapi daripada awal lagi iaitu dalam muafakat yang telah ditandatangani Pas, Dap dan KEADILAN pada 19 Disember 2009.

Ia telah secara spesifik mengatakan kita akan mengkaji perjanjian 20 Sabah dan sarawak. Kalau perkara ini dikaji semula, kita lihat jelas bahawa BN, setelah 50 tahun merdeka dan Sarawak di dalam Malaysia, banyak perjanjian tidak dilaksanakan dan diabaikan. Misalnya tentang peratusan perwakilan di parlimen dan beberapa isu lain termasuk pembangunan di kawasan pendalaman seperti sekolah, klinik dan sebagainya. Semua isu ini tidak diutamakan kerajaan BN. Ini adalah isu yang kita rasa kita harus timbulkan sebagai isu yang penting.

Apakah perjanjian antara persekutuan dan Sarawak pada 1963 akan memberikan sokongan kepada Pakatan Rakyat?

Yang jelas ialah borneonisation, iaitu perjanjian yang dipersetujui bersama pemimpin tempatan di Sabah dan Sarawak, yang mneyatakan salah satunya, orang tempatan perlu mengambil peranan di setiap jabatan persekutuan dan negeri. Mereka harus menjadi ketua di setiap jabatan dan bukan orang luar atau semenajung. Tetapi perkara ini tidak berlaku. Saya difahamkan daripada 100 jawatan, hanya kurang 10 jawatan sahaja diketuai orang tempatan sedangkan anak Sarawak harus mengambil alih jabatan negeri atau persekutuan.

Kedua, berkaitan perwakilan dalam parlimen, jika kita imbas bila perjanjian Malaysia ditandatangi antara tanah melayu, Singapura, Sabah dan Sarawak, kedudukan Sabah dan Sarawak pada masa itu adalah berstatus sebagai sebuah negara dan bukan negeri seperti di semenanjung. Kerana itu agihan kerusi parlimen dibahagi secara peratusan mengikut perjanjian. Ketiga tentang pembangunan di Sabah dan Sarawak harus diutamakan, khasnya dengan kedudukan orang asli di Sarawak dan Sabah.
Bagaimana kedudukan orang Asal di Sarawak?

Perkara ini disahkan perlembagaan persekutuan artikel 161 (A) dan 153 di mana perlembagaan kita jelas secara khusus memberi kebenaran kepada pemerintah Sabah dan Sarawak mengeluarkan rang undang-undang bagi empertahankan kedudukan orang asal di Sabah dan Sarawak. Itu adalah satu tanggungjawab kepada perintah persekutuan. Begitu juga dalam perlembagaan negeri, Sarawak diberi mandat untuk menjaga kedudukan orang asal di sarawak, terutama hak ke atas tanah adat.

Ini satu kedudukan yang disahkan dalam undang-undang, ertinya tanggungjawab pemerintah harus menjaga hak kedudukan orang asal. Tetapi perkara ini diabaikan, kerana sekarang ini BN melenyapkan hak ini dan langsung tidak mencadangkan rang undang-undang yang benar-benar melindungi hak orang asal.

Mengenai royalti minyak yang dituntut sebanyak 20 peratus apakah ini satu tawaran yang boleh memberi daya tarikan kepada rakyat Sarawak?

Ini juga satu janji yang jelas dari Pakatan rakyat khasnya seperti yang sering diperkatakan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim disebabkan Sarawak antara negeri pengeluar minyak terbesar di Malaysia. Kita janji sekiranya kita mengambil alih pusat, ini adalah satu janji yang akan membawa kebaikan untuk negeri Sarawak kerana sejak Sarawak berada dalam Malaysia, kita hanya diberi hasil 5 peratus royalti minyak.

Sekiranya wang royalti ini dikembalikan kepada rakyat Sarawak, 20 peratus ini bersamaan jumlah berbilion ringgit. Bagi saya ini satu perkara yang baik kerana kita mempunyai Sumber yang cukup untuk membangunkan Sarawak. Jika kita diberi peluang untuk mentadbir Sarawak dan mengambil alih kuasa di Putrajaya, 20 peratus ini dikembalikan kepada negeri Sarawak dan banyak pembangunan yang boleh dilaksanakan.

Sekarang ini kita mahu menjelaskan kepada rakyat Sarawak, kerana BN mengatakan pembangkang tidak membawa pembangunan. Tetapi kita mengatakan kita bukan pemerintah. BN diberi mandat sebagai pemerintah, mereka harus membangunkan n! egeri.
Bagaimana menguruskan kepelbagaian etnik dan suku kaum di Sarawak, sekiranya Pakatan mengambil alih kerajaan negeri?

Dalam manifesto kita, kita jelaskan isu ini di mana kita berjanji supaya bahasa ibunda kita diperkembangkan. Setiap suku di sarawak dan Sabah diberi hak untuk mempertahankan bahasa atau dialek mengikut cara mereka. Misalnya bagi saya sebagai Lumbawang, saya mahu anak saya dan generasi akan datang ingat latar belakang dan identiti kita. Ini penting, kerana sekarang ini bahasa Lumbawang tidak diajar di sekolah.

Dengan manifesto ini saya mencadangkan setiap suku diberi hak dan diberi mandat untuk pemimpin setiap suku membangunkan bahasa mereka. Kedua, mengenai soal adat melantik pemimpin atau ketua masyarakat di mana BN tidak menghormati adat resam orang asal.
Baru-baru ini mereka mengeluarkan undang- di mana ketua masyarakat di lantik gabenor council, bukan dilantik atau dipilih orang tempatan mengikut budaya mereka, seperti perbicangan di rumah panjang untuk menentukan pemimpin.

BN melantik ketua kampung, penghulu dan temenggong mengikut suka mereka. Mereka melantik di kalangan pemimpin masyarakat yang menyokong mereka tanpa menghirau mengenai pengetahuan tentang adat dan budaya di kalangan pemimpin masyarakat tersebut.

Bagaimana dari segi isu amalan dan kebebasan beragama?

Dalam isu ini kita berbalik semula kepada perjanjian 1963, kerana kebebasan hak beragama telah dijamin dan merupakan satu perkara yang dimasukkan ke dalam 20 perjanjian itu.
Tetapi yang jelas sekarang ini, kita merasa perkara ini tidak lagi dihormati BN khasnya oleh menteri pusat yang diketuai Umno. Kita telah jelaskan di kampung-kampung dan pendalaman bahawa perkara ini merupakan janji yang awal sebelum Sarawak memasuki Malaysia. Baru-baru ini ketika di Lawas, mereka datang bertemu saya melahirkan kebimbangan sekiranya amalan agama mereka dicabuli.

Mereka faham dalam perlembagaan tanah melayu yang mengatakan Islam adalah agama rasmi persek! utuan. N amun bapa Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman pernah mengatakan ini tidak bermaksud orang bukan Islam tidak boleh mengamalkan agama mereka kerana bukan Islam dijamin kebebasan untuk mengamalkan kepercayaan mereka.

Ini yang kita jelaskan di mana Pakatan Rakyat bersetuju, bukan hanya kata-kata sahaja, tetapi telah dimasukkan sebagai perjanjian bertulis pada 19 Disember 2010. Inilah yang kita tawarkan kepada rakyat Sarawak sekiranya Pakatan rakyat menjadi pemerintah. Jelas pada saat ini, isu Al kitab dan isu Allah adalah isu yang sensitif bagi kita di Sarawak. Cara pemimpin BN menangani isu ini menunjukkan kegagalan.

Isu pembangunan di Sarawak?

Kita sudah lama mendengar cara mereka berkempen dan menarik sokongan dengan bermodalkan politik pembangunan. BN mengatakan hanya mereka yang boleh membawa pembangunan. Kita tidak melakukan perkara yang sama tetapi kita mahu mengatakan setiap pemerintah yang diberi mandat mentadbir negeri bertanggungjawab membawa pembangunan kerana mereka ada kuasa sebagai pemerintah.

Wang yang kita gunakan adalah wang dalam perbendaharaan negeri. Kalau kita diberi peluang untuk memerintah, kita akan mengunakannya untuk tujuan pembangunan. Bezanya kita ikhlas, dan mengamalkan prinsip, kebertanggungjawaban, telus dan terbuka. Itu lah prinsip yang kita laksanakan, berbeza pentadbiran BN.

Kita akan membawa pembangunan di seluruh Sarawak, tidak kira samada Iban, Bidayuh, Melayu atau Melananu. Kita berjanji membawa pembangunan untuk semua rakyat dan melaksanakannya tanpa rasuah untuk memberi keadilan kepada semua rakyat tanpa mengira bangsa.

Apakah KEADILAN dan Pakatan Rakyat mampu memenangi pilihan raya ini?

Ia membawa makna yang besar sekiranya kita menubuhkan kerajaan pemerintah yang baru di Sarawak atau sekiranya kita berjaya menafikan dua pertiga kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri.
Ia akan memberi permulaan petanda aras kepada Pakatan Rakyat untuk menuju Putrajaya, memandangkan persepsi rakyat Sarawak sudah mula terbuka ! dan pelu ang bagi kita untuk berubah.

Bagi kita di KEADILAN, makna kemenangan ini sangat besar dan penting bagi pilihan raya umum. Itu harapan kita dalam pilihan raya akan datang supaya ia membawa permulaan yang luar biasa dan membawa kesan kepada politik di seluruh Malaysia.

Mahathir turun Balingian utk selamatkan Taib....

Kurang daripada 12 jam pilihan raya negeri Sarawak menyaksikan Ketua Menteri Sarawak Tan Sri Taib Mahmud semakin cemas untuk mempertahankan kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri Balingian sehingga terpaksa menggunakan khidmat bekas Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad untuk meraih undi daripada rakyat.

Menurut Ahli Majlis Pimpinan Pusat Parti Keadilan Rakyat, Fariz Musa yang membantu kempen di kawasan tersebut, sambutan amat suram rakyat Balingian terhadap kepimpinan Taib telah memaksa Ketua Menteri itu menunggang populariti Dr Mahathir untuk menang.

"Berdasarkan kepada tumpuan masyarakat Balingian sejak kami mula berkempen, kami yakin Pakatan Rakyat mempunyai peluang baik untuk membuat kejutan pada hari mengundi esok. Semalam sahaja jumlah yang datang ke ceramah kami mencecah lebih 1,000 orang," kata Fariz.

Walaupun setiap ceramah Pakatan Rakyat diganggu oleh agen Barisan Nasional untuk mengganggu dan membuat provokasi namun rakyat tidak menghiraukan semua ugutan untuk mendengar penjelasan calon KEADILAN dan amanat pimpinan.

Portal The Malaysian Insider melaporkan Mahathir petang tadi memberi ucapan hambar di Padang Mesra Mukah dan turut memberitahu media, Taib "tahu apa yang patut dilakukan" apabila berhadapan dengan kritikan mengenai soal kepimpinan.

Saya pernah berada dalam tekanan yang sama. Saya pasti beliau (Taib) tahu apa patut dilakukan, kata Dr Mahathir apabila ditanya mengenai tekanan dialami Taib agar meletakkan jawatan.

Menurut Fariz, antara isu utama yang menjadi punca kemarahan pengundi kepada Taib ialah berkaitan tanah adat (NCR) dan pencemaran oleh kilang aluminium.

"Tanah adat mereka dirampas kerajaan negeri dan pencemaran kilang aluminium t! elah men yebabkan tanaman terjejas serta mencemar sungai yang menjadi punca rezeki masyarakat Iban di sini," jelasnya.

Ketua Menteri yang juga Pengerusi Barisan Nasional (BN) Sarawak, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud berdepan saingan tiga penjuru di kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Balingian pada Pilihan Raya Negeri Sarawak esok.

Pilihan raya bagi kerusi N51 Balingian menyaksikan pertandingan tiga penjuru di antara Taib, calon KEADILAN, Suriati Abdullah, 50, dan calon Bebas, Datuk Salleh Jafaruddin, 67, yang juga bekas Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran.

Hata's conviction politically motivated

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) condemns the conviction of Malaysian journalist and union" leader Hata Wahari on charges of “tarnishing the image” of his employer Utusan Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur on April 14. Wahari, president of IFJ affiliate the National Union" of Journalists of Malaysia (NUJM), was found guilty in a hearing that lasted only 15 minutes. He was also found guilty of revealing the “company secrets” of his employer, which is owned by Umno. The charges relate to comments Wahari made in the Malaysian media criticising the ethics and partisan coverage of Utusan in September and October last year. He also criticised the paper for fuelling racial tensions in the country in an address made in his capacity as NUJM president on January 1. The paper's management will decide on Wahari's punishment in the next two weeks. He has been suspended since January 11, five days after the enquiry began on January 6. This is clearly a politically motivated attack on the part of the management of Utusan and must be condemned as a further erosion of press freedom and free expression in Malaysia,. The message is clear for reporters and freedom of expression activists in Malaysia – challenge the status quo at your own peril. Local media reports say Wahari and NUJM general secretary V Anbalagan are preparing “for the worst” and will appeal Utusan's decision in Malaysia's industrial court if he is fired.

Gospel music jamming Radio Free Sarawak

KUALA LUMPUR: Radio Free Sarawak (RFS), one of the few voices critical of the Barisan Nasional (BN) in Sarawak, is being subjected to jamming.

“The first jamming happened yesterday… all on the 15425kHz (frequency) which is next to our station’s 15420kHz,” said Clare Rewcastle Brown, who operates the radio station and blog Sarawak Report from Covent Garden in London.

“Our experts have now traced the attack to a known agent in Belgium, who is an established broker of transmission times. He has admitted that he has been hired to broadcast at the same time and in the same frequency as our station.”

Brown, a journalist, said the agent admitted that the contract was worth “a considerable amount of money”.

He has been enlisted until December, although it is clear that his “jamming” services were only important during the election period.

Brown said the broker has been paid to broadcast his gospel music across the RFS signal range at double the normal broadcast strength (a full 200 kilowatts).

“This cost around US$200 an hour at commercial rates, a full US$400 a day,” she said, adding that the broker has 270 remaining days of the year and that would make his contract worth a mininum of US$108,000.

“This is the cost of getting Radio Free Sarawak off the air for the remaining two days of the election,” she said.

She said that from the information she has gathered, the broker has also coordinated a jamming operation against an anti-Muammar Gaddafi station in the past.

She added that the broker started jamming RFS through Vladivostok, Russia, which is nearer to Sarawak.

Illegal action

According to Brown, the agent has asked the Russians to directly intercept RFS. At first, the Russsians refused because of international protocols, but later relented and started transmitted powerful signals aimed at RFS.

The signals were sent on the same frequency as RFS (15420kHz).

Brown said RFS was doing all it could to protest this illegal action, and would also take measures to re-broadcast its programmes to the Sarawakian audiences.

Clare also alleged that mobile phone networks in Sarawak have encountered disruption during the campaigning period.

“It was impossible to reach the people… who are facing a barrage of pressure and intimidation in the run-up to the election…”

She alleged that bribery took place in the remote areas where “desperate BN workers who have been drawing great sacks of cash from the bank have been distributing the money to the voters”.

“Communities that have been deprived of their lands in recent years for plantation projects have been told that they will get back their lands if they vote for BN.”

She expressed fears that many areas in Sarawak will face a blackout in the final hours of polling tomorrow as the ballot boxes are being collected and counted.

Brown, who has worked for the BBC World Service, has been highly critical of Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, accusing him of widespread corruption.

RFS is not the first station to come under attack. MalaysiaKini, too, is under cyber attacks.

HarakahDaily and Sarawak Report have also run into similar problems.

20,000 banjiri ceramah kemuncak DAP di Kuching...

Keadaan menjadi kelam-kabut di perhimpunan anjuran DAP di Kuching lewat petang tadi apabila apabila polis menyerbu ke atas pentas untuk menghentikan pengasas DAP Sarawak, Chong Siew Chiang daripada berucap.

Keadaan menjadi kelam-kabut di perhimpunan anjuran DAP di Kuching lewat petang tadi apabila apabila polis menyerbu ke atas pentas untuk menghentikan pengasas DAP Sarawak, Chong Siew Chiang daripada berucap. Para penyokong segera membentuk perisai manusia untuk menghalang kemaraan anggota polis yang ketuai OCPD Kuching, Mun Kok Keong.

Berlaku tolak menolak antara penyokong DAP dan anggota polis, sehinggalah pihak polis berhenti mengasak.

Pada atau ketika, Mun datang hampir kepada Chong menyebabkan para penyokongnya mara ke hadapan untuk menghalang pegawai polis itu daripada menghampiri pemimpin mereka.

Suasana bergegar dengan laungan Ubah dan DAP dan keadaan kembali senyap selepas pengerusi majlis meminta mereka supaya bertenang.

Atas sebab-sebab yang tidak dinyatakan, pihak polis beredar dari pentas tersebut, disambut dengan kegembiraan para hadirin yang jumlahnya mencecah 20,000 orang.

Apabila ditanya sama ada mereka membenarkan polis menghentikan majlis tersebut, mereka membalas dengan laungan Tidak!


Chaos struck a DAP-organised rally in Kuching late this evening when the police stormed the stage to stop Sarawak DAP founder Chong Siew Chiang from speaking. Supporters immediately formed a human shield to stop the police team led by Kuching OCPD Mun Kok Keong.
!
A tu g of war between the DAP supporters and police took place for about a minute, threatening to get out of control - until the police ceased their push forward. At one point, Mun came so close to Chong that his supporters moved in to keep the officer away from their leader.

The crowd grew livid, especially after riot police began to muscle their way to the stage. Deafening chants of "Ubah" and "DAP" rang through the crowd, which became silent after one of the rally emcees urged them to calm down.

For reasons not stated, the police gave up on their mission and left the stage, much to the delight of the crowd. As they were leaving, one of the emcees told the gathering that the organisers had obtained a permit for the event.

When he asked if the crowd would allow the police to stop the event, the response was a loud "No!"

At the time of writing, the rally is proceeding smoothly, with DAP chairperson Karpal Singh just arriving.
