- Patrick SongAll those who criticise SCORE should come up with a valid proposal which can produce similar results. Most importantly is that, what is their proposal to ulitilise the amounts and development already expended and completed on SCORE? Just g...ive you an example on the SIMC project in Sarawak. The project was completed about 4 years ago, was on it's way to become another white elephant when a young doctor managed to draw up a proposal and gotthe Ministry of Health to approve his proposal to make an almost abandoned project into a Cardiac, Kidney and Diabetes Hospital and also increasing the Sarawak General Hospital by 150+ beds by moving Heart, Kidney and Diabetic patients out to SIMC. The Opposition media and propaganda machine started condeming the SIMC project saying it cost Rm400M ,that it is too expensive, the young doctor proposing the project was corrupt and money can be used for other things. They failed to understand, the money for SIMC was already spent, the young doctor was now salvaging the project and making the best use on what is available on hand. The opposition media failed to realise, even if they spent Rm100M and built another hospital, the real cost to the public will still be more expensive than SIMC. The most unfortunate thing is that a lot of people who professed to be smart, buys into this opposition propaganda. Exact case for SCORE. Exact case for BAKUN. Remember how the Twin Towers construction was condemned by Lim Kit Siang, today, the Twin Towers is a sign of Malaysian prestige Internationally. Today when we go overseas, we are proud to call ourselves Malaysians. I have met many people who are embarassed to let people know where they come from. If we subscribe too much to the opposition propaganda, we will be no more than third world beggars in the eyes of the international communities. Those of us who have been overseas know where as Malaysians were are placed in Asia. Consider Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India etc.....maybe our economy is not as good as some, but hell, our Malaysian is given more prestige internationally than the rest.....why I ask you.....? Could it be because we have the Twin Towers, could it be because we can afford to send some one to the moon.....seems like waste of money...but is it?Saturday at 6:59pm ·
- George ThenI think it's great that a white elephant can be put to work. Bravo to the doctor involved. He is a real asset to our beloved homeland and I'm proud of him. It would have been much better though if there were not so many such elephants aroun...d. Such abnormal coloured animals should be rare and not common because they can make a monkey out of us. And we all know monkeys are paid peanuts. If we don't demand and expect accountabilty from those who are supposed to work on our and our children's behalf, we may find ourselves living in a zoo someday soon with many white elephants and monkeys for company. It will then take many generations to evolve back into humans again. Think about the Marcos effect. Our Filipino brothers have not climbed out of their big hole yet even though Marcos has been long gone. I wonder if their reputation and standing in the world would have been saved by a very tall structure in their midst?Saturday at 10:25pm ·
- Patrick SongI am just wondering how to classify what is a white elephant project and what is not. Just imagine if you were having a heart attack, would a cardiac hospital costing an exorbitant amount still be considered a white elephant or would you ju...st be thankful for the existence of a hospital. My point is that, if the project or spending is to service the public, then, I am all for it, even if there are some leakages. SCORE is one of those projects, which in the long run, will be highly beneficial to the people of Sarawak, same as Bakun and even the 5 standby coal fired stations. I rather tolerate the leakages but yet have these public benefiting projects come to existence. Even with a change in government, these leakages will still occur, just look at Penang and Selangor. Kelantan govt is so frugal, the towns still look like Santubong village in the 1970s with cattle roaming the roads. In Sarawak, even with the opposition reported leakages, our state still have a lot of development, much more than other states.Saturday at 10:43pm ·
- George ThenIt's precisely because both groups are not faultless that competition is our only hope and is therefore good. We have seen how easy it is for politicians asking to be our servant at election becoming our emperor when they won. Competition c...ompels people to be more transparent with their plans and intended outcomes, so that these can be scrutinised and eventually judged by the voters. Hopefully, the leakages will shrink and not grow with time and real competition. Without competition, the people holding our purse strings become 'careless'. It's human to be 'lazy'. Competition reduces the 'laziness' in the people working on our behalf, God willing. It's not going to be perfect but as we have seen elsewhere, accountable gov'ts do come out and explain to complaints. It's when people in power don't feel obliged to answer, explain and take responsibility for things that don't go as planned that we find the elepants may indeed be white. That's how we can tell the elephants apart.Yesterday at 12:06am
- Choo Lip Chan Pat, whats in it 4 u? :-). Any left over for me? Haha. For me, i SCORE every niteYesterday at 9:17am ·
- Choo Lip Chan Metinks the lines of the political divide has been drawn eons ago, east is east n west is west n never the twain shall meet, so lets get apolitical lest it divides usYesterday at 9:39am ·
- Patrick Song Lip, Not every one is a mercenary, there are some people who still act on their beliefs without need for compensation and ulterior motives. For me, fate has smiled on me and given me more than my fair share of successes in my life, it is now time for me to give some backYesterday at 10:13am ·
- Choo Lip Chan Am glad u found success in the chaos that is malaysia, Pat. Thats the crux of the problem, those that benefited from silly system wants status quo, those that didn't want changes.Yesterday at 11:06am ·
- Choo Lip Chan And then there are some like me who has done very well, ahem, but am disappointed that Malaysia with all its potential, could have been so much more. Time to stop comparing ourselves to the laggards like Fiji, Solomon Isles and learn from Spore, Taiwan n KoreaYesterday at 11:09am ·
- Patrick Song*TIME TO CHANGE*....This is a bull crap catch cry created by the opposition to con the unthinking portion of the voting public. I ask you one question, how to change when Anwar and Chong Chien Jen goes about making press statements that PR... is not expected to win the coming Sarawak State elections, only to gain a firmer foothold, this is not change, this is a con. I want real change and the only real change is an evolution or even a revolution from within. Make no qualms about it, BN will form the next Sarawak State government, with or without Chinese representation. At the end of the day PR Sarawak, will still be waving flags and banners and being totally ignored by the State government as usual, but if the evolution is from within, it is much harder for the leaders to ignore. There are alot of new blood entering the arena. Let them into the government stables and you will see a real and effective change, something much faster than waiting for the opposition, who are themselves in total disarray. Friends, we have only an average of 4 score and 7 years on earth, and lately with a lot of our friends checking out early, I may not meet the average, so I want to see effective changes ASAP, and the only way is through an internal evolution and revolution. You want to lay your hope on DAP, PKR, PAS, SNAP? you have to TKK...Tan Koo Koo....Yesterday at 12:56pm ·
- Alejandro AlemanniaGeorge. The 'competition' strategy is very valid. For example, in Selangor, the Lands Office there is now very efficient. Previously, it took 3 months MINIMUM to complete any title change and varying scales of kopi o up to RM5K for it to ...be 'expedited' to 1 month. When the new government took over, they interchanged the front office with the back office staff. Kopi o no longer accepted and now everyone on even standing and a straightforward title change effected within 1 month without any exceptions.
One of my lawyer fren told me a funny story earlier last year. Her runner went to the lands office with 5K for an expedited title change. On arrival, the runner guy was surprised to see a whole set of new staff at the front office and could not locate the 'usual person' he deals with. So he proceeded with the lady who processed the application and offered the usual kopi o as usual. The lady indicated that payment for the Memorandum of Transfer can only be made after adjudication. The runner blinked and indicated that the 5K was an incentive for expedition. The lady answered "Dosa tu taw"! hahhahahahaYesterday at 2:43pm · - Patrick Song If it was as easy as to introduce a Hire and Fire policy for the civil service. Even the UK, father of the civil service system, after how many hundred years still have their share of problemsYesterday at 3:05pm ·
- Choo Lip Chan Pat, you are preaching to the converted. The rest of us just don't see things the way you do, but hey, lets agree to disagree. Don't stress your little ticker, ok? Long live DAP11 hours ago ·

- Alejandro Alemannia1Malaysia is an abject failure when we still talk about Chinese (race based) representation in the government. Putting political parties aside, the issues that are of interest to myself personally, are the issues faced by the people and w...e need a Malaysian/Sarawakian government that are able to address them and resolve them irregardless of political parties (which must be stressed again that NO political parties have been mentioned in my previous postings). I am sure we are all happy to support ANY MALAYSIAN to represent us who can address and deliver solutions to the long standing issues faced by the people.7 hours ago ·
- Choo Lip Chan Well, 1st things 1st, we hv gotta get rid of a rapacious plunderer of state's wealth, and he can only do that if Bee End wins, so they hv 2 lose, and if we hv 2 sacrifice some good BN reps as collateral damage, so be it. O'wise we r just like filipinos under Marcos. After ridding him, we may be no better still(again, filipinos), but i think we can do better, if not, BOOT EM OUT AGAIN. Wat 2 do?7 hours ago ·

- Patrick SongLip, dont get misled by propaganda from either side, but news from a reliable source is that he will be in the Istana by the end of next year. 4 score and 7 years, he has by passed it by a long haul. Dont waste your energy, time, opportunit...y and resources by thrying to get him out, when he will do so in a short time. Better to plan for what comes after the fact. BN will form State government in 2011. PR may have a chance in 2016 if BN does not buck up and improve their performance. But us practical and realistic people should work on what will be, not what might be in 2016, by then (4 score and 7 years) might be well upon some of us.....6 hours ago ·
- Choo Lip Chan Pat, and the alternatives we have? Jabu? Satem? Tengah? All tarred by same brush, all unclean. If SKH or abg jo, tell me again. I may change my mind6 hours ago ·
- Patrick Song Lip, you are absolutely correct, that is why fighting and changing from within is the only way forward. It is like fighting a Tiger Tank with stick and stones. But if you are inside the Tank, stick and stones, may well see you taking over the helm of the Tank.....think about it, dont waste your vote on the oppositions non-sensible approach of making an impact on the state government of Sarawak.6 hours ago
