‘Operation Taibetes’ – Three months for Sarawak CM to step down
Firstly, let me explain ‘Taibetes’.
What is ‘Taibetes’?
It is a name coined by MoCS for a plague ‘founded’ and thus named after Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud. The ‘disease’ is only synonymous with Sarawak.
While Diabetes is a chronic disease that has no cure, MoCS will help to find the cure for Taibetes in Sarawak. Although Taibetes has been plaguing the state for the past 30 years, causing untold suffering to the people, it is however curable. The will and power of the people is the only cure available for Taibetes. We are the insulin needed to flush Taibetes down the sewers.
While the cause of Diabetes is a mystery, with both genetics and environment appearing to play roles, there is nothing mysterious about Taibetes.
Taibetes is an ‘infectious epidemic’ which principally affects the brain. Bordering on insanity, it has a firm grip on greed, total selfishness and power abuse. Those suffering from Taibetes lose their moral compass in dramatic fashion – their only motive is to continue accelerating the rape and plunder of the state’s resources without any care or concern for the people they harm or hurt in the process.
Interestingly, there is also a startling similarity between Diabetes and Taibetes. Siblings of people or children of parents with Diabetes are most at risk of contracting the disease. So it is too with Taibetes.
Friday the 13 and why the August 13 deadline?
The formation of MoCS was officially announced on August 13, 2010. It was also Friday the 13th, an ‘auspicious day’ indeed or one that some may find haunting.
On this day, exactly nine months ago, we have warned those who dabble in the Occult and the Dark Side, including ulitising the services of bomohs and believing in witchcraft, to be wary of what is to come. Those who do no evil have nothing to fear or worry about.
On that day, we gave ourselves ONE year to see to the ouster of Taib. MoCS has never lost sight of that target.
Today, it is again Friday the 13th.
Let me repeat what I had declared during a Malaysia Day (September 16) event in Penang last year. MoCS is giving Taib till August 13, exactly three months from today to step down as chief minister. If he does not do so by then, people’s power will force him out of office.
Launching of ‘Operation Taibetes’
In that connection, MoCS is announcing today the launching of ‘Operation Taibetes’ – our code name for the August 13 showdown with Taib.
MoCS has scheduled a series of programmes and activities over the next three months in preparation for our all-out onslaught against this semi-insane, totally corrupt and repressively intolerable chief minister.
Let me assure the authorities that the actions MoCS is planning to take against the chief minister of Sarawak will be peaceful and non-violent. MoCS has been operating openly with nothing to hide over the past nine months and we will continue to do so.
MoCS is not a clandestine, underground movement and we are an open book. If we have to organise public rallies and protests, we will duly announce it in the press.
When a Special Branch officer called me before the recent state elections for what he said was a ‘friendly chit-chat’, I also told him the same thing.
There is no necessity to monitor us discreetly or put us on the police radar. MoCS is a responsible citizen rights movement, fighting for the people’s democratic rights and principles and fully upholding the rule of law. We do not partake in subversive or undesirable activities.
The real ‘security threats’
Our detractors have described MoCS as a security threat. To us in MoCS, those who pose a security threat to the state are the daylight robbers and thieves who stole timber, land and whatever of value they could lay their hands on from the state and people.
An example is last week’s incident in Tebedu when Bidayuh villagers torched the dormitories, tractors and vehicles of loggers who encroached on their land, bribing several headmen in the process. 4/
The people behind these crony companies are the real security threats who left the helpless villagers of Tebedu with no choice but to come out their spears and parangs to defend their land, livelihood and rights.
Let me also emphasise here that MoCS does not believe that a free and fair election is ever possible in Sarawak. We have attempted to give the democratic process a chance in the just-concluded state elections.
Sadly, the election was stolen by Taib by his misuse of state apparatus, widespread cheating, money politics and vote-buying, double voting and the use of strong arm tactics by hiring goons and thugs to intimidate voters. The gullible and vulnerable rural electorate had fallen prey to Taib’s dirty electoral tactics, a trademark of a desperate politician to cling on to power.
There is no doubt that Taib is truly a shameless, unremorseful and desperate man. How could he not be aware of the growing dissent and opposition against him? How could he not be aware that the people of Sarawak have absolutely no more respect left for him whatsoever?
As Taib so desperately hangs on to power for whatever reason, the people are also desperate to see to his downfall.
As desperate times call for desperate measures, MoCS will do whatever it takes to see that Taib is no longer chief minister by August.
