DAP Sarawak Declare War Earlier
Just wanna share an interesting news from Sarawak Update, 23rd May 2010. The most eye catching is the list of changes which DAP is going to make if they won in the State Election...
DAP Sarawak State Committee had pleaded in a meeting to change Sarawak at Sibu DAP headquarter for the betterment of the people here.
In a statement issued by the DAP, it said that May 16 which DAP won in the by election is the beginning of the awakening of Sarawak.
From now on, no one will take us – the people of Sarawak – for granted. One small step in winning Sibu is one big step to winning power in Petrajaya, and a giant step forward to winning power in Putrajaya.
Sarawak is rich. It has the largest land mass in Malaysia and an abundance of resources such as timber, land, palm oil, gold, oil and gas.
But the people of Sarawak are among the poorest in Malaysia because of low pay, poor employment opportunities and a business environment which is monopolised by a selected few.
It is the only state in Malaysia where one family – that of the Chief Minister’s – practically has complete power over the state’s entire economic and political activities.
It’s time that we say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Let’s chart a new future for Sarawak and Malaysia.
GOOD GOVERNANCE = NO MORE TAIB
Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib bin Mahmud will be in office for three decades by next year. It’s time that we take the mandate back from Taib and herald a new era of reform and rejuvenation for Sarawak.
DAP and Pakatan Rakyat stand for good governance. Taib Mahmud’s BN has a track record of bad governance. Taib’s family through Cahaya Mata Sarawak (CMS) and other crony companies control the most lucrative contracts and businesses, impoverishing therakyat while making life difficult for small businesses.
EQUAL PARTNERSHIP – DAP and Pakatan Rakyat believe in equal partnership in political coalition and in federal-state relations. The sole purpose of the existence of Sarawak BN is to prop up Taib’s empire whereas Pakatan Rakyat practices equal political partnership for the betterment of the rakyat. Nationally, resource-rich Sarawak has been given a raw deal.
CAT GOVERNANCE – DAP believes in Competency, Accountability and Transparency (CAT) governance. We listen and engage with all citizens, not just those with the money. Less corruption means more for everyone. Sarawak is rich. By having open tender to all government procurements, timber extraction licenses and alienation of state lands for commercial and plantation purposes, all Sarawakians will be richer.
SENIOR CITIZENS’ BONUS – When DAP and Pakatan Rakyat become the Government of Sarawak, all Sarawakians above 60 years of age will receive a minimum of RM400 per annum in appreciation of their contribution to the state.
HARDCORE POVERTY – An annual RM 80 million allocation from the State budget will be set up to eradicate hardcore poverty in Sarawak.
EDUCATION – When DAP and Pakatan Rakyat become the government in Sarawak, all schools regardless of background will be given allocations according to needs as practised in Penang, Selangor and Kelantan so that our children can have a bright future.
OIL ROYALTY – Pakatan Rakyat National Common Policy Platform commits to provide Sarawak 20% in oil royalties from Petronas, instead of the current 5%, if Pakatan Rakyat wins federal power.
LAND REFORM – When DAP and Pakatan Rakyat become government in Sarawak, all NCR land will be surveyed and titles (communal and individual) issued while all expiring leases will be unconditionally renewed. With lands accessible to the people and not cronies, we believe that the great economic potential of Sarawak will be unleashed.
INVESTING IN THE FUTURE – The flood problems in Sarawak needs serious attention while long term investment in human capital and infrastructure is needed to make Sarawak a great economy. WIFI will be provided free to move Sarawak into a knowledge state.
BN will not and cannot change. For BN to change spells destruction for its leaders. But without change spells certain doom for all Sarawakians. The choice is clear. Sarawak for Change.
Also at the function was DAP stalwart, Lim Kit Siang, MB for Penang, Lim Guan Eng and other DAP leaders.

Adelaide Car Show 2007
As stated in the title, the car show was held in 2007, Adelaide. It was the first month i arrived in Adelaide and one of my dreams is to visit overseas car show, not only to look at their cars but girls, haha.
This mini cooper was modified by US designer (i think) and import directly from US. Obviously, it was the main attraction of the car show. They organized it once every year but i didn't go for the 2008 and 2009 one because of busying with my writing. So my advice is... go to anywhere you want within the first few months of your study trip, so that you won't regret... haha.

Night View of Docklands, Melbourne 2009
These photos were taken at the Docklands, Melbourne. That night was a cold night and i purposely went back to my backpacker to take my tripod, took the free tram and went back to this place again just to shot the night views... i think the views are worth for me to do it... haha
If i remember well, only once in a week the free tram is operating until 9pm... otherwise there is no service after... mmm... can't remember...
