The Sarawak BN's lost in the Sibu parliamentary by-election is seen as a grieve setback to its component and participating party, the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP). Until then, the leaders of SUPP had refused to concede defeat even at the final hour before the announcement of the results were out last night. Well the announcement has been made anyway and it said DAP had won and BN lost. The BN and SUPP leaders were disappointed, the deputy prime minister dumped the BN candidate Robert Lau and flew back to Putrajaya even before the results were known, because he already knew, the vote had already swing in favour of DAP. However, the BN leaders are still in a denial mode. They refused to accept the fact that their defeat shows that they are no longer "powerful" in Sarawak after decades of manipulation of the people's human rights there.

First they accused PKR advisor and parliamentary opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim of paying the CNN a large sum to obtain publicities and respect from the United States. But now, it seems Umno leaders has been doing that themselves all these while. Just look at the lavish contact renewed with Apco Worldwide in order to enhance and promote the Umno-led federal government's image overseas. But what we know is Apco's core service is only to one man. That is prime minister and Umno president Najib Razak.

Yes, only RM50,000 for a trial run, and if its trial run is a success, will it be RM500 billion in near future?

When ticking off Utusan Malaysia and its particular writer for the racist article that was published in their newspaper recently, deputy premier Muhyiddin Yassin said that he was not taking sides and added that Utusan had also done a "great job". It looks like Muhyiddin is being insincere in telling Utusan that they are a kind of wrong in promoting the racist article. He said that he did not take side but in fact with his later statement shows that he did sided with Utusan by mentioning that they had done a "great job" which means they were not actually "very wrong" on it. In this case, Utusan Malaysia will not take Muhyiddin's heed seriously and they will continue to be a racist publication just like their owner and shareholder, Umno. They will never change because they too resist change right from the beginning.
