There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable of; for in politics, there is no honour.
– Benjamin Disraeli, ex-British Prime Minister
Even during the time of Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), who served as prime minister of UK twice, politics was as ruthless as it is today. It must have been so mean and dirty even then for Disraeli to declare that “there is no honour in politics”.
The same goes for the common phrase – “there is no honour among thieves” – which we understand as thieves lacking a sense of honour and are not to be trusted.
Many politicians, including some in Sarawak, fall in this category. This article aims to deal with those who took part in the treacherous Sheraton putsch of February 2020 which hijacked a democratically elected government.
No, I have not forgotten what happened just over two years ago – the despicable treachery of political parasites and leeches in our midst.
Let me also repeat what I had earlier written in a national news portal. I will not be hypocritical and pretend to be diplomatic and nice or act politically correct by saying that I have also forgiven them. No, I haven’t. I have not forgotten, neither have I forgiven.
I share the sentiments of Aeschylus, the ancient Greek dramatist when he declared that “I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery”.
Indeed, that must be shared too by Pakatan Harapan (PH) supporters who are probably still very angry and disgusted by the turncoats and traitors who hijacked their mandate and installed an illegal backdoor government.
Many among them are probably like me too – not forgotten nor forgiven the heinous treachery of the Sheraton’s political scumbags.
A few days ago, I wrote this message to friends on my contact list, stating that “we must get rid of frogs and traitors, come GE15”.
“Opposition supporters will probably emphasise the importance of Pakatan Harapan winning GE15.
“However, the most important objective of GE15, to me, is to ensure that we bury all the Sheraton turncoats, frogs and traitors (alive if possible). Teach them a lesson they will never forget.
“Come GE15, let us reclaim our mandate – therein lies our honour and dignity – because it is the right thing to do,” I added.
However, it does not mean that we should all blindly support PH as there are also many MPs in the coalition with trust issues. My key request is that PH must never think of ganging up with the Sheraton traitors for the sake of victory. That is totally unacceptable to me.
Among those we should go all out to ensure that they are defeated in GE15 are former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his bunch of ungrateful and disloyal cohorts in Bersatu.
Next, Azmin Ali and the 10 PKR defectors must also be trounced in the coming polls. They are overly ambitious men and women who only aspire to climb up the political ladder as quickly as possible, even if it means betraying their party leaders and colleagues.
Azmin’s cartel included the ex-PKR trio from Sarawak – Datuk Willie Mongin, Datuk Ali Biju and Baru Bian, never mind that Baru had double U-turned. He is still a turncoat and a traitor, to me. The trio had forsaken PKR, the party that launched their political careers.
In this connection, I’m glad to hear Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, calling on his GPS colleagues to work hard and win back the Selangau, Lubok Antu, Puncak Borneo and Julau seats.
This means that GPS is not interested in letting Mongin and Biju contest under the GPS ticket in Lubok Antu and Puncak Borneo. The duo are officially Bersatu members and I doubt GPS will give way to Bersatu
Already, the word has gone out to Mongin loud and clear that he is not wanted to contest Puncak Borneo by GPS.
PBB vice president Datuk Roland Sagah stressed that it is without a doubt that Puncak Borneo is a PBB seat and that “there are more than enough capable, dedicated and well-educated PBB members to defend Puncak Borneo for PBB.”
That should close the door on Mongin and Biju could expect the same reception from GPS. Baru, who is now with the opposition PSB, would probably defend Selangau but victory is not assured.
I do not really care who wins. I just want the Sheraton traitors to be voted out. Let them get what they deserve for their heinous treachery.
I will not be able to trust these politicians ever again, friends or not!
My message to Sarawak voters, come GE15 is this – get rid of the Sheraton traitors. These spineless backstabbers do not deserve our sacred votes. Bury them.
