Recent indications of political panic in Sarawak on the part of the ruling BN party have now been underlined in a striking, if unsurprising, way.

Faced with the strong possibility that Putrajaya, despite hesitating so far, might now let loose the MACC on the wholly corrupt GPS administration in that State we see the curious spectacle of the minority Malay Chief Minister cosying up to minority Malay supremacist Hadi of PAS.

Worry must be at a high level if that approach has been even considered, let alone blindly acted upon. It illustrates the curse of communalism that is holding back Malaysia’s progress to first nation status and which is being desperately experimented with by the criminal BN leadership and the deluded religious fanatics at the head of PAS.

Sarawak’s CM should not waste his breath, let alone any of the vast wealth accumulated by mega crook Taib Mahmud in trying to buy peninsular Malay support for his small minority community.  In Sarawak Malays, unlike in the Peninsula, are a small minority, relying on bribery and other electoral misdemeanours to cling to power. They will disappear at the next State election.
