He should be voted out as soon as possible. We have not seen how much he has done for the good of his own community especially in recent times. But in the past three months, we have read in the main stream media, how he intimidate and blackmail the Dayak Community to continue supporting his UMNO-Barisan Nasional who have done little, except to enrich those who walk in the corridors of power.
Bidayuhs are no loss to Barisan Nasional if they decide to go for the opposition. This was the warning issued by a Sarawak Cabinet minister to the state’s second largest indigenous population.
Than what are Bidayuh’s waiting for? Just walk out. Resign from PBB, SUPP and SPDP and join the Pakatan fold. To the voters, get ready to show Manyin the broom if he ever step foot to campaign.
According to Infrastructure Development and Communications Minister Micheal Manyin, the loss of the six state and three parliamentary seats held by Bidayuhs would not affect BN in any way.
“Even if the BN loses all the six (Bidayuh) seats in the coming state elections, it will not affect the party because there are 71 state constituencies. These seats are not vital for BN to retain its power,” he said.
There are some 160,000 Sarawakian Bidayuhs living predominantly in the Lundu, Bau, Penrissenin Padawan, Siburan and Serian.
Manying’s stinging warning to the community was capped with the threat of ‘no development’ in these constituencies if BN loses.
“If Bidayuhs don’t support BN and the coalition loses the seats, then the whole community will lose out on the development. BN will not continue its work here,” he told villagers at Kampung Taee near here over the weekend.
The money do not belong to UMNO-PBB-Barisan Nasional or Michael Manyin. If that is the case, than all Bidayuh’s should stop paying taxes to the government or even bother to contribute to KWSP. Join my “Non Tax Paying Citizens Club”. Why should you pay taxes that support leaders and ministers like Michael Manyin?
He also urged the villagers not to be conned into believing tales spun by the opposition, especially the PKR.
He said PKR had been against the government’s move to carry out perimeter survey on Native Customary Rights (NCR) lands.
It is PBB-PRS-Sarawak Barisan Nasional who are against. For umpteen years, SNAP and Dayak NGOs have made calls to the authorities to have all NCR Land Surveyed. It is only after the recent visit to Long Lama by PM Najib that RM20 million was allocated to PBB-PRS-Sarawak Barisan Nasional to survey the NCR Land. With that, every-one starts talking and Alfred Jabu quickly added that only “Matured NCR Land” will be surveyed!
Can Michael Manyin now tell us what is “Matured NCR Land”?
Knowing that it is a stupid statement and he will be cornered with more controversy and that all NCR Lands are “Matured”, Deputy Thief Minister quickly followed through with only “NCR Land with Development Potential” will be surveyed.
Can Michael Manyin now explain what is classified as “Potential”.
Since the allocation of RM20 million which the State Government should have done umpteen years ago on their own initiative without waiting for allocation from PM Najib, a chorus of statements in the media have appeared and most are the usual intimidations and blackmail which people the likes of Michael Manyin are only good at.
Now what. Don’t come and tell me the press misquoted you! We know for a fact that they will not. Even if they are misquoted, it is because most of our Dayak Ministers can not even write a press statement of their own and pay thousands to media editors to write one for them.
All voters from the Dayak Community should be aware that, it is because of the imminent threat of losing power, that PM Najib and UMNO-PBB-Barisan Nasional extended the grant of RM20 million to acede to the request of leaders in SNAP, PBDS (among them Datuk Daniel Tajem, Lawyer Anthony Sujang) to survey NCR Land boundaries. It was never done on the initiative of our Ministers in PBB or Michael Manyin and his gang!
Manyin, who is also Tebedu assemblyman, alleged that PKR had insinuated that the perimeter survey on NCR land was being carried out for his personal benefit.
“We are carrying out perimeter survey on NCR land for the benefit of the people. How do I benefit from this exercise?
“If the people have land titles, they can then mortgage it and venture into businesses,” he said adding that he was aware that PKR was actively instigating the local Bidayuh communities into believing that BN was not serving them.
