Wh...WE HAVE REGULAR BLACKOUTS & ARE USED TO IT<br /><br />Why no Blackout 505 in Sarawak or Sabah?<br /><br />SIMPLE. PKR has no great interets in SS except ot get their votes.<br /><br />More importantly PKR like UMNO does not want Sarawak or Sabah people to fully taste the democracy spirit of mass participation.<br /><br />So they put a damper on it.<br /><br />At the back of their colonising mindset, they know it is far better to keep SS people doped with sandiwaras and not to fully arouse them to their rights.<br /><br />Even their local PKR headman have no initiative to do anything. Prayers did not bring victory! Action speaks louder.<br /><br />A good example is when the Movement for Change in Sarawak called for demonstrations against Taib during at the height of the Bersih campaign in 2011 in Kuching. The PKR leaders rebuked the MOCs people about mass demonstrations.<br /><br />The demo was scuttled when MOCs received threats from those in power and they said they did not want to risk life and limb by holding the demo. They were again intimidated into submission. Sabah went ahead and had sizeable demos (for Sabah)<br /><br />The PKR leader have made no headway in Sabah and Sarawak because they just do not want to arouse the people to go too far. <br /><br />For example they do not tell them they have rights under the 20 Points Agreement.They do not wish to over empower the people.<br /><br />This was a major point of contention between PKR and local opposition leaders when negotiation a united front to fight the elections. The result no co-operation and PKR went ahead to be the spoiler by coming to Sabah and split the votes.<br /><br />PKR is concerned like UMNO that When emboldened the people will start to demand "independence" more openly.<br /><br />But for the moment PKR fails to impress us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
