BINTULU: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim was stumped when villagers in Ba\u2019 Kelalan told him that they waited for rain to get free drinking water.<\/p>\nBINTULU: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim was stumped when villagers in Ba\u2019 Kelalan told him that they waited for rain to get free drinking water.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m in shock\u2026 (Chief Minister) Taib (Mahmud) has been in the office for 30 years and has enriched himself and members of his family while the people of Sarawak still living in poverty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Relating his recent visit to Ba \u2019Kelalan in Lawas Division, he said he was impressed with huge parcels of lands in the area that were planted with oil palm.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of these (oil) palm trees were planted right in front of the villagers\u2019 doorsteps. I thought the villagers were rich.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was shocked to be told by the villagers that the lands did not belong to them but to Planning and Resource Management Minister, Awang Tengah Ali Hassan,\u201d added PKR\u2019s de facto leader.<\/p>\n
He said he could not imagine how a leader could amass the wealth to himself alone without giving consideration to the people of his constituency.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Selangor which is now under Pakatan government, its citizens are enjoying free pipe-water for consumption, washing and bathing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want the people of\u00a0 Sarawak to voice out \u2018Enough is Enough\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we win this election, Pakatan will go on to take Putrajaya,\u201d he vowed, adding that the Dayaks would then not have to depend on rain for free drinking water.<\/p>\n
Huge crowd at ceramah He said Taib had abused his powers to deprive the people from enjoying the vast rich natural resources\u00a0 like oil and gas, timber\u00a0 and even their lands being expropriated.<\/p>\n Anwar, who spoke with charisma and dynamism, attracted a huge crowd in the open-air coffee shops at Jalan Masjid here last night.<\/p>\n Chiding Taib for his condescending comment about Pakatan\u2019s inability to govern, Anwar said: \u201cTaib doesn\u2019t have to tell us that we Pakatan do not know how to govern,\u201d retorted Anwar, pointing out two of the four Pakatan states \u2013 Penang and Selangor \u2013 had performed exceedingly well.<\/p>\n Anwar said once Pakatan formed the government, its calibered leaders would practice fairness and justice for all races.<\/p>\n On the sex scandal he was allegedly involving in, Anwar said this was the mean politics practiced by Umno to destroy his political career.-FMT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BINTULU: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim was stumped when villagers in Ba\u2019 Kelalan told him that they waited for rain to get free
