Near brawl at Sarawak polls briefing

PKR has rapped Sarawak's Assistant Minister of
Youth Development Karim Hamzah for "opening his
shirt" and daring a party official to a fight.
KUCHING: A ruckus at an Election Commission briefing has left the opposition here seething.
Shocked state PKR leaders who attended the briefing said Assistant Minister of Youth Development Abdul Karim Hamzah had behaved “like a gangster” towards the party’s Senadin candidate Dr Michael Teo.
According to one of the leaders who declined to be named, during the question and answer session, Teo had claimed that the postal votes cast by uniformed personnel could be manipulated if the ballot boxes were not placed at the tallying centres after voting process. Teo also alleged that it might lead to vote tampering.
“Karim became angry and told Teo to stop asking stupid questions. Teo then replied that he was not talking to him but to the Election Commission chairman and other officials.
“This rattled Karim who almost attacked him,” said the leader.
The leader went on to add that Karim’s hooligan-like behaviour was well known in the State Legislative Assembly.
“During Dewan Undangan Negeri (state assembly) meetings, he used to disturb opposition assemblymen by interrupting them so much so that (during one sitting) the Kota Sentosa assemblyman (Chong Chieng Jen once) told him to behave like assistant minister.
“Karim used to tell Sarawakians to be wary of PKR’s politics of gangsterism and chaos. It would appear that he is the one who is resorting to gangsterism in order to intimidate his opponents,” he said.
‘Behave like a minister, Karim’
Meanwhile Teo, when contacted by FMT, confirmed the incident, saying that Semop assemblyman Abdullah Saidol had restrained Karim, otherwise there may have been a brawl.
“All this happened in front of the Election Commission officials and reporters.
“All I did was tell Karim: ‘I was not talking to you. I am here not to fight anybody’.
“This made him very angry which led him to open his shirt and asked me to go out to fight him one to one,” said Teo who is still puzzled as to why Karim considered his question stupid.
Teo said Karim’s behavior was “more like a gangster and (it was) unbecoming of an assistant minister.”
Sarawak PKR chief Baru Bian, who witnessed the whole incident refused to comment except to say that ‘you know what type of a person he (Karim) is”.
“It is not worth commenting,” Bian, who is the Ba’Kelalan assemblyman, added.

  1. Abdul Karim, am speaking from NZ, ranked among the top for transparency & democracy, I tell you straight to your face, you are the lowest of the low, moron, idiot, bastard, crim, ball-sucker, you should be tied to a tree in central city, be spat on, stripped naked, knifed, whipped and let the birds and flies finish you off. I call the biggest Curse from God on you. You and your Taib cronies have destroyed your country, you millions of people. I have zero no tolerance for evil! Alan Newman, NZ.

Twitter quote: ‘Mubarak cried and resisted leaving the helicopter that took him to prison.’ Let this, Gaddaffi & Saddam etc be a warning to others.

  3. Even in far-away, neutral New Zealand we are boiling mad, your BN Gov’t is outrageously crooked and dishonest, & for how many decades now! GOSH! Horrific plunder and robbery, skinning & fleecing the whole country. eg Taib in Sarawak, holding 3 supreme portfolios of Chief Minstr, Finance Minstr & Planning & Resources Minister, plundering for 31 yrs. Your PM pretends nothing’s there…..now he revenges on Rafizi for the NFC cows, even after 3 murders: Ross Boyert (Taib’s former US aide), Manser (native & rainforest activist) & Altantuyaa (Scorpene $$ claimant), & after BN lost over RM300billion in 55 yrs. Yr PM flies a new RM200m plane & Taib rides Rolls Royce. In NZ our PM flies 2nd Class; here Taito P Field, an MP was jailed for a few years for corruption (using Thai immigrants to paint his houses). How long would yr Dr MM, Najib, Taib all the BN/UMNO/PBB cronies, MACC, Police chiefs last in a democratic country like NZ, Aus, UK, US or Canada before going to jail? 1 mth? You elected yr Gov’t to serve you, how can you tolerate them for another day!
