Praise be to him and blame it on Dayak intellectuals and the bloggers

For the past many days I have not been in the habit of reading mainstream newspapers not until a friend rang to inform that Tan Sri Alfred Jabu had once again inviting polemic with the bloggers. I won't say I was shunning myself from those papers. But rather I did not have the 'tamasya' (sanskrit word for 'fun') in reading those papers. The media are meant to inform. Anything short of that would likely cause readers to stay aloof and even allergic to their presence.

That friend told me Alfred Jabu claimed he did not possess the time to stay in his office and sit on his desk to reply to bloggers. Perhaps that could be the reason Alfred Jabu was often seen with the Chief Minister whereever the latter went. I was further told that Alred Jabu also claimed that hitherto noboby in Sarawak has ever proved to be better than him (Jabu) insofar as managing SALCRA is concerned. And despite not asking for any credit he said that he deserved proportionate credit from the Dayak especially Dayak intellectuals. If anybody could have done even 10% of what he had done to SALCRA, Jabu said that it was good enough but there is none to date.

I thought I really don't want to argue with Alfred Jabu anymore after he had failed to take up my challenge for a public debate. I am not interested in arguing with someone who is a coward. But now he has re-started the fire again to which I am compelled to respond. Reading that newspaper in question I am getting more confused with the figures. To date Alfred Jabu has given three sets of figures pertaining to the same thing. The first figure was RM50 million to be distributed to 14,000 participants. The second figure was RM30 million to be distributed to 14,000 participants. And now RM52 million to be distributed to 16,000 participants. But all the three figures refer to the same thing. But be that as it may, the income of a participant is still almost next to nothing.

Alfred Jabu mentioned of 10% of what he has done to entitle any Dayak to criticize him. The first time I have ever heard a citizen has to show that he (the citizen) has to perform at least 10% of what Afred Jabu has done to be eligible to advance a legitimate criticism. It is a new value of democracy I believe, a perculiar democracy that has its root in the Liar Valley, ops! I mean, Layar valley.

To cut the long story short, as I lack the interest to argue with somebody whose brain, thought and bravery have not gone beyond puberty level, I can only make one simple conclusion: praise be to him, Yang Dikasihi, and blame it on Dayak intellectuals and bloggers. By that I mean all of us are in the wrong and only Alfred Jabu alone is right. He is always right with what he says and does. And we are wrong with what we say and do. Translate that into reality, Alfred Jabu has made every Dayak rich through the current policies, especially SALCRA participants.

I am prepared to disclose every bank account that I have to show how rich I have been. I am also prepared to declare every interest pecuniary or otherwise that I have or that of my family or relatives in any company or government linked companies to show my involvement and influence. Yes, prepared to expose everything. Would Alfred prepare to do that to show how economically poor or disadvantaged he is?

Yes, let God grant unto us the wealth and the power that Alfred Jabu has always been saying that we have although we have none. In addition, may God continue to grant us the wisdom to make our country a better home for all.
