Sarawak Election 2011

The Sarawak Election 2011' Poll day will be on 16 April 2011 ie this Saturday. whats the big deal, you may ask! Well it is a big deal for Malaysian Political climate. Malaysian Long-time ruling party Barisan Nasional (BN) has almost lost its simple >50% majority. Where the opposition front (Pakatan Rakyat) has convincingly denied the 2/3 majority of BN which it control for more than 2 decade under the Mahathirism era.

The next question is what is there to do with Sarawak Election? well, the sudden death to cause BN to still won a simple majority was that there were full support from Sarawak people on BN.

Well the wind of change will be blown up again! BN may not be that lucky this time! i like what Dali said in this blog that in the mind of Sarawakian "you peninsular people do it without telling me first, this time i will do it before you!" Hah! remember it may sound a little bit of kids stuff, mind u, looking at the progress in Sarawak for the last 30 years, it wont be surprise that more 70 to 80 % of population (well i dont have any support, just my guess) is still not that well politically educated. On the flip side, BN may continue to win big as Sarawakian especially those from rural area are not that difficult to buy! that explain how Taib could hold on to the political grip for the such a long period of 30 years ok!

Hopefully the wind of change in middle east in Egypt, Libya and others countries could be blown to the State of Hornbill.
