An observation by Peter John Jaban
The last general election was hotly anticipated. In fact, many of us thought it might even
prove to be the greatest upset in the history of Sarawak elections. The
opposition was riding high, matched equally by the height of anti-Taib
sentiment.
But polling night proved to be something of a letdown,
with Barisan Nasional returned in strength, in Sarawak especially. Sarawak voters, particularly those in the
rural areas, kept Barisan Nasional in power; without us, we would not be living
through another BN term which has dragged Malaysia through scandal and shame
worldwide.
