Kee Hui Yee- Lawyer and Legal Practitioner
*Unraveling the Zahid Acquittal: A Suspicious Outcome*
The release of Zahid (DNAA) is strange and surprising. After going through a 4-year trial and calling 99 witnesses including 15 witnesses featured by TPM Zahid. It is strange for the prosecution to acquit Zahid with DNAA. When the prosecution has succeeded in establishing a prima facie case, the case should continue to the end. At this point, saying that Zahid was released by the court is too general a statement. Zahid was released by the judge when the judge had no choice when the prosecution did not proceed with the prosecution. This shows as if there is a conspiracy to free Zahid. Moreover, the Attorney General has just been changed, the prosecutor for this case has also changed. Although PMX insists that he does not interfere in judicial affairs. This is not enough to convince the general public. So the way forward - according to Hui Yee. It is the separation of the office of the attorney general and the Attorney General and the appointment of both is determined entirely by a commission that is completely independent of politicians, especially without the influence of the prime minister.

Dennis Along, PKR Baram Communications Director
*The Governor (TYT) should be healthy and emulate the King. Taib Mahmud had to withdraw due to health problems*
Visit of the King and Queen in the Borneo Tour which started in Sabah on Sept 3 and ended in Sarawak on Sept 13 at Telok Melano. While in Sabah (Liwagu River) - the King found that there was a bridge broken in two since 2019 that has not been repaired until today. The king will ask the prime minister to solve the problem immediately. This is the good thing when a King who has the soul of the people can go down to the field and understand the people's problems. Therefore - according to Dennis Along, if only TYT Sarawak Taib Mahmud - could do the same thing. This will help solve people's problems. In Baram, the Sungai Tutoh bridge has been cut off due to flooding for the past 3 years. Causing problems for thousands of Baram residents. So far not fixed. Bad and dangerous road problems, no electricity and water supply. Still shackles the people of Sarawak. Is this what the people of Sarawak should be proud of after 60 years of independence, asked Dennis. Therefore, I suggest that the Governor of Sarawak should be appointed from among people who are outside the political radar - so that they can act using humanitarian values. The governor must also be healthy and if possible still young so that he can carry out his duties well. Therefore, I request that the current Governor Taib Mahmud resign due to his poor health. The Sarawak government should act wisely, for the sake of the progress and good of the people of Sarawak.

Chris Lau, independent Journalist from Sarawak
*Sarawak's Employment Exodus: Youth Leaving for Better Opportunities*
Deputy Premier Amar Douglas Uggah Embas has announced that Sarawak aims to create 1.5 million jobs by 2030 through its Post Covid-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030. Around 200,000 of these positions will be in the technical and skilled sectors.
Chris wonders why we have to wait for seven years to provide such a significant number of job opportunities. In Sarawak, the minimum wage is 1500, and even with a degree, salaries are not substantial. Given the current economic downturn, these wages may not be sufficient for a decent living, prompting many young people to seek employment abroad or in West Malaysia.
Despite Sarawak's numerous large-scale projects offering employment opportunities, like the Pan Borneo Highway, questions arise about what will happen once these projects are completed. Could they potentially lead to a surge in unemployment? It appears that the Sarawak government has yet to develop a comprehensive plan to address these concerns.

Bob Manolan, PKR Senator of Orang Asli
*Prioritizing Orang Asli Well-being: Beyond Titles and Recognition*
Bob Manolan stated that the Director General of JAKOA, Sapiah Mohd Nor, who was awarded the Datukship, has not brought any positive impact or benefits to the Orang Asli communities. It seems to be more about personal gain.
Previously, we've seen the head of JAKOA also being awarded the Datukship and later Datuk Sri, but this hasn't resulted in any positive impact or development for the Orang Asli communities.
To truly help the Orang Asli communities, it's not about the positions they hold but rather about short and long-term planning, sincerity, and trustworthiness. These qualities are crucial for reforming JAKOA and improving the lives of the Orang Asli.
Furthermore, ongoing land disputes, such as the one in Kelantan, continue to persist without resolution.
