Pic. 29/11/2008) Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Opening Ceremony of the National Congress of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) at Malawati Stadium, Shah Alam, SelangorSalam for all,
As mentioned by PKR Adviser YB Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the close of the National Congress Of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), the next target of PKR / Pakatan Rakyat would be Sarawak which is expected to have its state elections within the next two years.
Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim (An Opposition Leader at the Parliment of Malaysia) has started main inroads there and has already hit the campaign trail. Since DAP also has substantial following in the state among the chinese community, the Pakatan Rakyat coalition hs good chance of penetrating the state and causing an upset, given the fact that there are also dissastisfactions with the leadership of the present Chief Minister, Tan Sri Taib Mahmood. Furthermore, Taib Mahmood is expected to relinquish his party position soon due to his age and therefore Barisan Nasional (BN) is again in a dilemma.
Retaining Taib Mahmood might produce negative results for them as he has been there for too long. If they want to replace him, then a new popular leader has to be found. If the new BN leader of Sarawak is also from Taib's family circles, then that also will be counter-productive as allegations of nepotism will surface which can become a winning point for the opposition.
Added to all these woes are the sentiments and feelings reflected by leaders and people of Sarawak since the General Election 2008. Together with Sabah, the political groups in Sarawak are also now demanding for more autonomy, developments and share of wealth from the federal govenment in the wake of such alluring promises showered on them by Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim *.
With all these developments, the next state which is likely to be a political battleground and hotspot for BN and Pakatan Rakyat would be Sarawak.....
* Winning strategies of Anwar Ibrahim
