A member of Democratic Action party (DAP) Voon Lee Shan said the slogan \u201cUbah\u201d (change)should not be used again in this State election as it was already used in the last State election.<\/p>\n

Voon who was once DAP strong man and a former State Assemblyman for Batu Lintang is now keeping a low profile where politics is concerned.<\/p>\n

The Ubah, he said was adopted from President of America, Obama and was in some way successful in the last election when it was used. \u201cBut why use the same slogan when they were unable to make any change in government. They can shout until the sky fall down the word \u201cUbah\u201d but nothing is going to change,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

First, he said, you cannot even contest in the 82 seats so how are you going to change the government?<\/p>\n

To add salt to injury, you even quarrel among yourselves over seat allocation.<\/p>\n

Voon said even the basic of things could not be achieve like working in unity, so how could people put their trust in the Opposition?<\/p>\n

Voon who has a fallout with the leaders in DAP, said although he is still a member, he was not invited to any political event as there are top leaders who did not like him. He said there are leaders who feared him to be too popular thus he was in one way or another put to cold storage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not complaining though as I can concentrate on my legal firm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Stating that there were many great leaders in the past, many opted out or were kicked out.<\/p>\n

On the land issue, Voon pointed out that during the White Raja\u2019s time, government land was alienated to our forefathers to develop. The same, he said, is happening now and the government is not stupid to hand over the land over just like that. \u201cThere are conditions attached and the land is developed to build houses, shops, religious houses. Before the government did that, they have to ensure that the persons who were sold the land at a cheap price could develop, otherwise, we would still remain backward,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On the Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem\u2019s rule at the helm, Voon said the Chief Minister is making a lot of good changes for the people. \u201c he is very protective of Sarawak\u2019s rights,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On the Sarawak United Peoples\u2019 Party (SUPP) the arch rival of DAP, Voon said looking from a fair angle, the SUPP has changed their old guards. They may not win this election but they are working hard this time.<\/p>\n
