Linda Tsen, Please Answer Haris Ibrahim Truthfully.

By Admin

BN Sabah today announced Linda Tsen (pic above), the widow of the late Batu Sapi MP Edmund Chong, as their candidate for the Nov 4 by-election. Political observers see Linda's candidacy as a desperate attempt by BN to retain the Seat via sympathy votes. This is because After 45 years of sacrifice, contributing billions of Sabah's oil revenue to the nation, Sabah only got a meagre 5 percent of their oil revenue and has now become the poorest state in the federation. Sabahans have lost their land, their pride, their dignity, their sovereignty and their autonomy with millions of illegal immigrants being brought in under the wicked 'Project M'.

This resulted in untold damages and threats to the rights of the real bumiputeras in Sabah, who are still suffering in the longhouses without proper schools, roads, power and water and are living in poverty.

Linda in all her goodness must first answer these very important questions raised by Haris Ibrahim below if she wants the Rakyat (People) to see her as a Candidate of Integrity.

First, allow me to extend my condolences to you and your family on the tragic and sudden passing of your husband.

It can never be easy for a family when a loved one is snatched away so suddenly.

I also want to congratulate you on being picked by BN to contest in the forthcoming Batu Sapi by-election that has come about through Edmund’s passing.

FreeMalaysiaToday reports that you have asked the voters in Batu Sapi to give you the mandate on 4th November to allow you to continue Edmund’s work in the constituency.

“It is an opportunity for me to carry on with the legacy of good work of my late husband Edmund Chong,” FMT reports you as saying.

Now, I did not know Edmund personally, and he may very well have done much work for the people of Batu Sapi, but what did he do for them, as their representative, in Parliament?

I note that he was into his second term as the MP of Batu Sapi at the time of the tragic accident, as he was first elected in 2004.

Now, when the Bill to extend ex-EC chairman Rashid’s tenure for another year was tabled in Parliament in December, 2007, did Edmund just abide by the BN whip and vote in support of the Bill, or did he revert to the Batu Sapi constituents to get their mandate?

Did Edmund ever revert to the Batu Sapi constituents to update them on the matter of the death of Teoh Beng Hock, to seek their views on the same and to then endeavour to bring this matter up in Parliament?

Has Edmund ever brought up in Parliament the matter of the more than 1 million foreigners in Sabah who are in possession of Mykads?

You see, Linda, as good a man as Edmund might have been, he was also first and foremost a servant to UMNO before he was, if ever he truly was, a representative of the people of Batu Sapi in Parliament.

And as you now come forward and offer to step into his shoes, in reality, you offer the people of Batu Sapi no better than what Edmund brought to them.

In your campaign, will you tell the people of Batu Sapi what your thoughts are on the death of Beng Hock and the more than 1,800 other deaths in custody?

Will you share with them how you plan to bring up in Parliament the menace that Dr M’ project M and the more than 1 million ‘pendatangs’ with Mykads pose to the people of Sabah?

Will you share with them how you propose to bring up in Parliament how Sabahans have been denied the benefits that ought to have accrued to them pursuant to the 20-point agreement?
