Shy Taib to Admit to Bride on Jan 15th
Presumably, it will be on this occasion that the Chief Minister will finally announce the name, true age and identity of the lucky lady? Meanwhile, Sarawak Report feels obliged to issue previously unseen pictures that can prove to a bewildered public that the actual wedding has indeed already taken place and that Taib is indeed a married man once more.
Not the grandad but the groom
The couple, seen here in our exclusive picture, are both dressed in white, having just been married. We can confirm that the gentleman, who is somewhat dwarfed by his much younger new wife, is the groom and not an elderly relative.
It may seem ridiculous that the proven marital status of Sarawak’s Chief Minister has still failed to be formally announced. However perhaps the couple were in a hurry? Indeed, Taib’s failure so far to officially present and acknowledge his wife in the normal fashion has made it inevitable that people have been left speculating over the speed and secrecy of this event. Is a fifth potential heir to arrive for the lucky family sooner rather than later? Or was the lightning marriage designed to quash unhealthy rumours (or worse, evidence) of an existing relationship?
Poor PR?
Taib acts the paternal figure at another wedding of a lady older than his new wife today - the daugher of Jabu his deputy
Indeed, there have been numerous marital scandals associated with the Mahmud family, which Taib has fought hard to quash and there would be no desire to add to any of them on the brink of the election. So why such a grave mishandling of PR by Taib and BN by this displaying of all the hallmarks of an emergency wedding?
Worse, it has been followed by a lengthy period of silence with no official confirmation of the situation, giving the appearance that the actors in the affair have been working behind the scenes on how to best present the matter. A wedding should be treated as a public celebration and not a secret scandal, so why has the Chief Minister not managed the affair more skillfully to avoid such an unfortunate style of presentation?
In a country with a free press Taib would not have had a restful New Year’s break, after such a slack management of his PR. Yet, in fact it is understood that he and his young new wife were able to fly off on their holidays and enjoy another marriage ceremony nearer her home, in Syria in the Middle East.

Melanau..Minew Telou Agei Tudui!!!!
Najib jumpa MP BN, selidik peluang menang p'raya
Ahli parlimen BN Sarawak mendahului senarai wakil rakyat parti yang mengadakan pertemuan empat mata dengan perdana menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC) hari ini.
Ahli parlimen berkenan dilihat mula mengisi borang, difahamkan berhubung prestasi pilihan raya umum di kawasan mereka sebelum bertemu dengan perdana menteri sejak jam 9.20 pagi ini.
Ahli parlimen Santubong Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar ketika ditemui bagaimanapun berkata beliau tidak perlu mengisi borang berkenaan.
"Saya sudahpun hafal semua angka tersebut," katanya kepada Malaysiakini.
Sementara itu, ahli parlimen Alor Gajar yang juga bekas menteri sumber manusia Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn pula berkata, pertemuan ini merupakan satu langkah yang penting.
"Ini kali pertama dalam karier saya bahawa PM bertindak begini sebelum pilihan raya umum," kata ahli parlimen yang telah berkhidmat selama empat penggal itu.
'Projek impak tinggi'
Dalam pada itu pula, ahli parlimen Batang Sadong Nancy Shukri ketika ditemui berkata, perdana menteri secara tidak langsung telah bertanyakan kepadanya mengenai pilihan raya negeri Sarawak yang perlu diadakan sebelum Julai tahun ini.
"Dia bertanya kepada kami, apa pandangan kami mengenai projek berimpak tinggi yang boleh membantu kemenangan BN.
"Saya beritahu (Najib) bahawa dia perlu melihat (isu) bekalan air bersih dan memperbaiki jalan raya.
"Sejak tahun 2005, jumlah penduduk Sarawak meningkat sebanyak 25 peratus, tetapi pusat rawatan air masih pada kapasiti 2005.
"Jalan raya juga berlubang di segenap tempat disebabkan oleh (kerja-kerja) pembangunan," katanya lagi.
Tambahnya, isu melibatkan ketua menteri Sarawak Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud tidak dibangkitkan.
Selain itu, ada di kalangan ahli parlimen yang ditemui enggan mendedahkan mengenai isu yang dibincangkan di antara mereka dengan perdana menteri.
"Saya cuma kata 'hello', dan ucapkan selamat tahun baru kepada Najib. Tiada apa lagi yang saya hendak katakan, kata ahli parlimen Petra Jaya Datuk Fadillah Yusoff.
Begitu juga ahli parlimen Stampin Yong Khoon Seng yang hanya berkata "ambil gambar saya saja. Tiada komen."
Selain MP Sabah, turut disenaraikan ialah 22 ahli parlimen dari Sabah, Johor dan seterusnya wakil rakyat dari negeri-negeri lain.
Dalam pada itu, ahli parlimen Keningau yang juga Timbalan Ketua Menteri Sabah Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan pula ketika ditemui selepas menemui perdana menteri berkata, perbincangan dengan pemimpin BN itu berkisar kepada pembangunan kawasan parlimen dan persediaan bagi menghadapi pilihan raya umum akan datang.
Bukan 'one-way traffic'
"Perbincangan banyak mengenai pembangunan di kawasan dan perdana penteri mahu supaya anggota parlimen sentiasa turun padang, saya juga bersetuju bahawa ini adalah persediaan untuk pilihan raya umum akan datang, walaupun tarikh belum diketahui," katanya.
Sementara itu anggota parlimen Johor Bahru Datuk Seri Shahrir Samad berkata, apa yang dilakukan perdana menteri merupakan satu proses yang baik kerana suasana sekarang sudah berubah, dimana ia bukan lagi sistem 'one way traffic' yang menyaksikan anggota parlimen hanya terima arahan dari pihak atasan.
"Pertemuan hanya berkisar kepada perbincangan mengenai apa yang berlaku di peringkat akar umbi, dan kami sebagai wakil rakyat menyampaikan kepada beliau (Najib) tentang segala permasalahan atau strategi yang akan diguna pakai bagi mengekalkan kerusi Parlimen Johor Bahru agar berterusan menjadi milik BN," katanya.
Anggota parlimen Pulai Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed pula menyifatkan pertemuan itu sebagai usaha mengemaskini perjalanan yang berlaku di kawasan parlimen kerana Najib sendiri sudah pun mengarahkan para pegawainya meninjau di kesemua kawasan tersebut.
Semalam Najib yang juga pengerusi BN dilaporkan berkata beliau menganggap pertemuan itu sebagai satu transformasi politik seperti dinyatakannya sebelum ini, dan ia juga bertujuan membolehkan beliau mengetahui keadaan setiap kawasan BN.
Bagaimanapun tidak semua pemimpin BN dijangka dapat menghadiri pertemuan itu kerana beberapa orang anggota Parlimen yang memegang jawatan menteri dan timbalan menteri ketika ini berada di luar negara untuk tugasan rasmi.
Sebelum ini spekulasi berlegar di media dan di kalangan pemerhati politik mengenai kemungkinan pertemuan itu adalah persediaan awal untuk menghadapi pilihan raya umum akan datang yang mungkin berlangsung pada Jun atau Julai, ataupun serentak dengan pilihan raya negeri Sarawak yang perlu diadakan sebelum Julai ini.

Rakyat Strikes Back!!! Tolak RULE of THE JUNGLE!!
Taib Strikes Back!
Thursday, January 6th, 2011 GMT
BN and Sarawak’s Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud, have exhibited their concern about the growing tide of criticism engulfing their government by launching a series of lash-backs in the past 24 hours.
On Thursday night they utilised the police to arrest two groups of high-profile NGOs within a few hours of each other. Both groups were threatened with charges of possessing seditious material, but were eventually released.
The material concerned included discs containing recordings of the popular Radio Free Sarawak programme, which operates as an independent political voice in Malaysia without a Government licence, as well as clips from the alternative Sarawak TV, Bebas.
Nervous of legitimate criticism?
Sarawak Report can offer exclusive pictures of the police raid on the Sarawak Dayak Iban Association (SADIA), which took place in Kota Sentosa, Kuching, in the early hours of the morning on Thursday. Plain clothes police, accompanied by
Malaysian Ministry of Home Affairs (Kementerian Dalam Negeri – KDN) officials, ransacked the office and removed the discs and copying machines, along with some leaflets and posters. The offensive leaflets bore a compelling visual message – illustrating Sarawak as a milk cow and Taib Mahmud and Najib sitting beneath its udders and squeezing it dry!
The organisation’s Secretary General, Nicholas Mujah, and two associates were taken to the police station for questioning until after 3am before being released. Police also removed legitimate equipment from the office, yet it is believed that the group was eventually released without charges.
Parallel arrest in Miri
This raid in Kuching followed an earlier arrest at Miri airport of the respected NGO lawyer Abun Sui Anyit, who has fought a number of successful cases against the government’s seizure of Native Customary Rights Land on behalf of a number of local communities. He had just arrived from Kuching and is believed to have also been in possession of
CDs containing episodes of Radio Free Sarawak. Clearly the fact that the radio station is building a faithful and growing audience in the state has worried the incumbent Chief Minister. The station, which is broadcast on SW and is available also on the internet, is regularly highly critical of corruption and human rights abuses. It also frequently draws attention to land grab issues affecting native communities, who have had their lands ‘alienated’ under Taib’s amended land laws.
‘Yes it’s political’!
Abun Sui was informed by the arresting officers that he was being detained for “political reasons” and that he was likely to be charged under the Sedition Act of Malaysia (1948) for possessing ‘seditious’ material! But eventually the lawyer was released without charges, showing that the authorities’ jittery behaviour may not be as focussed and organised as their political masters might like.
Meanwhile, Chee See How, a lawyer working with the PKR leader Baru Bian, who is also a leading human rights lawyer in Sarawak, accompanied the SADIA personnel to the police station and they also were eventually released on police bail without charges.
This form of response to the recent criticism shows a level of intolerance towards freedom of speech (which the Government Minister James Masing himself recently defended in an interview with Radio Free Sarawak) that is troubling for the growing opposition movement in Sarawak. But such defensiveness also reveals deep worries within BN about the volume of dissent in the run up to the upcoming State Elections.
The government knows that to use such brute force in its attempts to curb criticism is in danger of back-firing, not least because of the large number of prominent lawyers who are prepared to defend those politicians and NGOs who are
supporting human rights cases against the hundreds of land grabs sponsored by Taib Mahmud and the BN administration. There is also the danger of attracting the international attention of the large number of NGOs, who are concerned by the escalation of environmental and human rights issues in Sarawak.
Will arrests back-fire?
So, Taib has flashed his claws. But, he will have to decide carefully what to do next and whether to continue this strategy of harrassment and arrests or to adopt a lower-key approach for fear of provoking even more bad publicity than he has been receiving already.
Radio Free Sarawak can be accessed at 1800-1900 on 15420 kHz (SW) and at 2000-2100 on 6205 kHz (SW) or via its podcast on www.radiofreesarawak.org.
