Dayakbaru is setting up “PKR Batang Ai by-election Fund” to solicit from members of the public (RM5-10) each to finance the Batang Ai by-election. On the one hand Bawin told the world &amp; Bernama that the party has the financial support to fight BN ( see statement above).Support from poor Iban community of Batang Ai?..must be kidding. Where does the fund goes to?<BR/>I do not think its right and proper to raise fund or seek donation from the already poor Dayaks community esp. so if Dayakbaru does not have the necessary permit from the relevant authority. Let those who has the means &amp; money talk about politic, the reality.Perhaps PKR may consider giving way to a local party SNAP who has the standby fund to nominate its candidate. If Dayakbaru and Bawin are really serious and sincere to help the community they should set up “Dayak Poverty Eradication Fund” aim to alleviate Dayak suffering instead of burdening them.<BR/>I fear that Dayakbaru and Bawin are being used as a tool by PKR leader in Malaya to raise fund to further aggreviate the burden of the Dayak community in Batang Ai.<BR/>Bear in mind also that its not the political culture in the state for politician to solicit for election fund from members of the public unlike in Malaya.<BR/>Soliciting for hard earn money among the poor Iban community is a comedy and a mockery thereby insulting thier intelligence.<BR/>I earnestly hope both Dayakbaru and Bawin could come to a term with a reality and stop this illegal fund raising activities.Yellow Flamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628225241183163294.post-45658533303079385572009-03-04T08:26:00.000+08:002009-03-04T08:26:00.000+08:00congrat YB..keep up the good speech..Ucapan YB nie bring a briliant messages...shahirMaranghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03107550961830384333noreply@blogger.com
