Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Malaysia Corruption index – is sliding down, it is no good!"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Malaysia Corruption index – is sliding down, it is no good!".

Political will to eradicate corruption needed

Dr. John Brian Anthony : Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s dream of turning Malaysia into a high-income nation rests on his political will to eradicate corruption, said Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M). At the launch of TI’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2010 here today, Malaysia found itself with a 4.4 score and a ranking at 56 out of 176 countries. The score is a historical low for Malaysia after last year’s plummet to 4.5 from 5.1 in 2008.

TI-M’s president Paul Low said foreign investors view the CPI as a barometer of a country’s corruption level which has a direct correlation with the country’s per capita income.

In short, our government is “certified corrupt” achieving 4.4 level declining from 5.1 from 2 years ago. There is no excuse for such poor performance. To me, it is an important indicator of the state of our government. How can we trust the government to govern with such rating when we have the process to correct it via election.

UMNO Sarawak : Sebagaimana nama yang diambil untuk indeks tersebut, yakni Indeks Persepsi Rasuah, ianya hanyalah satu indeks yang bergantung kepada persepsi semata-mata. Tidak lebih dari itu. Inilah hakikat yang cuba diselindung oleh saudara.

Bahkan saudara tidak berlaku adil disini apabila saudara tidak menyebut usaha-usaha yang dilakukan oleh para pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat yang memburukkan pemimpin dan negara ketika diluar negara. Sudah semestinya usaha-usaha ini turut mendatangkan kesan keatas penilaian indeks tersebut.

Dan usaha memburukkan pemimpin Barisan Nasional dan negara ini bukannya dibuat atas dasar ingin membantu kerajaan Barisan Nasional untuk menangani masalah di Malaysia tetapi semata-mata kerana ingin menggantikan Barisan Nasional sebagai kerajaan.

Maka janganlah saudara membuat tuduhan tanpa memberitahu hal yang sebenarnya. Janganlah bermuka-muka. Saudara seorang yang bergelar “Dr.” dan sepatutnya bersikap objektif dalam memberi pendapat ataupun hujah.

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "National inquiry into the rights of indigenous people of Sarawak"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "National inquiry into the rights of indigenous people of Sarawak".

Dr. John Brian Anthony : Why is the Chief Minister Officer afraid of a Suhakam Commissioner if it has nothing to hide? It is so unbecoming of the State Government as the Commissioner is trying to collect information to support Suhakam national inquiry into the rights of indigenous people. This is an important exercise by Suhakam as the natives of Sarawak is under continuous pressure by the government to make them surrender their rights eg NCR land development, issuance of timber license, selective prosecution and police detention, land issues etc.

UMNO Sarawak : Kami percaya tindakkan tersebut adalah untuk memastikan tiada maklumat yang akan  disalahgunakan untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan. Bahkan ramai pihak yang bergerak atas platfom hak asasi manusia sebenarnya terdiri dari mereka-mereka yang hanya berhasrat untuk menghancurkan keharmonian negara, termasuk Sarawak.

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Najib speech spelt out the true spirit and thought of UMNO/BN"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Najib speech spelt out the true spirit and thought of UMNO/BN".

Dr. John Brian Anthony : It is not an overstatement to say that the development racial disunity in Sarawak is caused by UMNO. That is the reason sarawakian do noy want UMNO into Sarawak, because UMNO strive in divide and rule using race and religion as its main tools.

UMNO Sarawak : Kenyataan ini tidak memeranjatkan kerana seringkali pihak yang bersalah akan menyalahkan orang lain. Saudara berusaha untuk menuding jari saudara ke arah UMNO tetapi sepatutnya saudara menuding jari saudara ke arah saudara sendiri. Cuba renung semula kenyataan-kenyataan yang berbau 'extremist' saudara.

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Dayak – let us stand united in this issue"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Dayak – let us stand united in this issue".

Dr. John Brian Anthony : I wrote an article to say that we need not be in one political party to be united but we must have a common purpose. You can be Opposition, BN or even independent or non of the above but we try to have the same value and understanding out of an issue.
UMNO Sarawak : Saudara memang kelakar. Tapi tak tahu kelakar atas dasar saudara memang jenis manusia yang kelakar ataupun saudara dah tak tahu apa yang saudara hendak kata.

Kami mahu Dr. Brian didakwa atas tuduhan 'menghasut'

Kami menggesa Kementerian Dalam Negeri untuk mengambil tindakkan keatas Dr. John Brian Anthony yang dengan jelas cuba menghasut rakyat Sarawak untuk 'keluar' dari Malaysia dalam laman blog beliau.

Inilah buktinya:

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Najib is prepared to do anything to keep UMNO in power"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Najib is prepared to do anything to keep UMNO in power".

Dr. John Brian Anthony : The word Melayu and bumiputera is the norm now used in the UMNO assembly. We are Dayak, so we are bumiputera. How many UMNO members attending the UMNO assembly can relate to bumiputera to include Dayak. My guess is not many as many UMNO people do not know Malaysia well. All they know is Hak Melayu, Ketuanan Melayu etc, but do not blame them as that is UMNO message for them.
UMNO Sarawak : Perhimpunan UMNO turut dihadiri oleh anak-anak Sarawak yang berasal dari Sarawak. Maka adalah salah untuk saudara beranggapan bahawa tiadanya ahli UMNO yang berupaya  untuk merasai perasaan Bumiputera Sarawak.

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Sabah UMNO is in trouble and what is in it for Sarawak?"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Sabah UMNO is in trouble and what is in it for Sarawak?".

Dr. John Brian Anthony:  We in Sarawak always thought that UMNO has no political games in Sarawak. UMNO do not have to appear in Sarawak like as  in Sabah because Taib Mahmud is the right hand of UMNO. Jabu knows this. That is why when sarawakian wanted to invite UMNO into Sarawak, immediately PBB will react to the idea. PBB do not want UMNO to have new partner in Sarawak.
UMNO Sarawak: Ketua Menteri Sarawak Taib Mahmud ialah presiden PBB dan bukannya orang kanan UMNO di Sarawak. Ini adalah suatu realiti politik di Sarawak dan di Malaysia.

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Budget 2011: Do you see anything for Sarawak?"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Budget 2011: Do you see anything for Sarawak?".

Dr. John Brian Anthony: I am asking Seliong ak Wau to enlighten us on the implication of the budget to Sarawak please. Anything for us Dayak – I hope we are not lump under Orang Asli. They got $100 million.
UMNO Sarawak: Saudara tidak perlu risau. Seseorang tidak perlu mendapat gelaran "Dr." untuk membezakan Orang Asli dan Dayak. Tidak perlu bersikap sinis.

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Are there any Dayak leaders in the Government?"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Are there any Dayak leaders in the Government?"

Dr. John Brian Anthony: Maybe none.
UMNO Sarawak: Lihatlah dengan minda yang luas dan bukannya sempit ... ADA.

Sesi soal jawap berkenaan "Adakah UMNO diterima oleh Dayak?"

Satu sesi soal jawap diantara Dr. John Brian Anthony dan UMNO Sarawak berkisar dengan perihal "Adakah UMNO diterima oleh Dayak?"

(A) "UMNO for Sarawak"

Dr. John Brian Anthony: After UMNO entry into Sabah there was a lot of talk of UMNO possible entry into Sarawak. Datuk Abang Abu Bakar was trying very hard to bring UMNO into Sarawak and there are strong interest shown by the Sarawak Malay and some Dayak supporters sometime in 2001. In 2007 a large numbers of UMNO flag was flown on flag posts and roofs and wall of houses in the villages throughout Sarawak. Some suggested that UMNO will make YB Joseph Salang their candidate in the PRU12 as he was without a party then until Taib directed him to join Party Raayat Sarawak headed by his good friend YB Dr. James Masing.

UMNO Sarawak: Sarawak adalah satu-satunya negeri di Malaysia yang belum lagi melihat UMNO bertapak. Adalah tidak salah untuk berpendapat selepas kemasukkan UMNO di Sabah, destinasi selanjutnya ialah Sarawak. Kewujudan kami (UMNO Sarawak) ialah semata-mata untuk membuat persediaan kemasukkan UMNO ke Sarawak.
