ABDUL TAIB MAHMUD ... WHY THE OPPOSITION FEAR HIM

Often the opposition spread lies and make personal attacks against Pehin Abdul Taib Mahmud. All forms of ridicule are published in the opposition media and more particularly when approaching a general election in Sarawak.

Abdul Taib Mahmud was hailed as the dictator, the tyrant, the pharoah, accumulating wealth for themselves and their families, oppressed people of Sarawak, non development in Sarawak, and many wild accusations to tarnish the credibility and dignity of Sarawak Chief Minster. However, what is true of all the wild accusations hurled against him.

The problem is, none of which could be pointed out to evidence Abdul Taib Mahmud as Chief Minister has neglected the Sarawak people welfare. News is published tiresomely by Anwar Ibrahim to instill propaganda and instigate hatred under the auspices of Abdul Taib Mahmud.

The people of Sarawak are mature enough to recognize the character of their beloved Pehin Abdul Taib Mahmud. He was deemed to be realistic leader and looking for the best interests of Sarawakian. Anwar Ibrahim is actually wrong to make political agenda if they want to bring down the credibility of the ‘Superman’.

In Sarawak, all tribe live in peace and united under Pehin Sri administration for 30 years, that is unbelievable. Name it, Malays, Melanau, Chinese, Penan, Orang Ulu, Melanau, Kayan, Lun Bawang, Kenyah, Kelabit, Iban, Bidayuh, Sebob and many more. The presence of ‘Anugerah Tuhan’ Anwar Ibrahim and the opposition with their new political concept of hate and contempt to insult each other, can only lead to destruction of the unity of the people of Sarawak to the system itself.

Pehin Sri Taib Mahmud has served Sarawak releases the people from the poverty. Sarawak is now changed to a state better and more prosperous than 30 years ago. These are all attempts were denied by Anwar politics of evil. Anwar is seen deliberately want to implicate the political divide and rule in Sarawak for the control of the state.

The fact is … wealth, resources, tourism industry and the rapid development in Sarawak is the motive why the opposition wants to dominate politics in the state. The failure of Anwar Ibrahim in Peninsular Malaysia is a leading cause on why he wanted to clear his name of sodomy and abuse of power.

It was Pehin Sri Taib Mahmud idea that Sarawak has introduced the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), a new development corridor in the central Sarawak state of Malaysia. The initiative was launched on 11 February 2008 and is one of the five regional development corridors throughout Malaysia that will transform Sarawak into a developed state by the year 2020.  Definitely will ccelerate the state's economic growth, as well as improve the quality of life for the people of Sarawak.

Sarawak has an abundance of natural resources, particularly LNG and. Sarawak is also one of the world's largest exporters of tropical hardwood timber and is the major contributor to Malaysian exports. The last UN statistics estimated Sarawak's sawlog exports at an average of 14,109,000 m³ between 1996 and 2000.
With such vast land expanse, Sarawak has large tracts of land suitable for commercial agricultural development. Approximately 32% or about 40,000 km² of the state's total land area has been identified as suitable agricultural land. Nevertheless, less than 9% of this is planted with productive permanent crops, while the balance is still under shifting cultivation for hill paddy (rice) which is estimated at more than 16,000 km². The main commercial crops are oil palm, which has been increasing steadily over the years, sago, and pepper.
Tourism also plays a major part in the state's economy. In 2010, Sarawak was visited by 3,270,655 tourists (international and domestic tourists). As for 2011, the state is targeting 4 million visitors. This is in-line with more direct flights from countries such as Japan and South Korea. The Sarawak Hornbill Tourism Award is held each year to appreciate the best in the tourism sector of the state.

Did Anwar think the Sarawakian not wise enough to not realize all the development work done by the state government under the administration of Pehin Sri? The opposition was hoping to capitalise the wealth of natural resources in Sarawak to be transferred to cover the cost of political opposition. Anwar and the other opposition leader are dying ‘to steal’ the wealth and pump it into the financial state-dominated opposition in Peninsular Malaysia.

The people of Sarawak are too smart and mature. Enough with the opposition-controlled states can not be administered properly. Why in the first hand should we destroy the progress and the peace of the people in Sarawak.
That's why the people of Sarawak have rejected the attempts of political lip service brought by Anwar and his team to the state.

Should we trust Anwar Ibrahim … man who almost handed and swept the Malaysian economy in 1997 at the hands of the IMF.
