Taib to make announcement on Sarawak polls on SaturdayKUCHING: Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said Friday that he will make an announcement on the state election Saturday.
"Wait one more day," Taib told reporters when asked to comment on speculation that the state legislative assembly would be dissolved on Monday for the election to be held next month.
He quashed rumours that he would leave for Mecca on Sunday to perform his Umrah before the election, but otherwise declined to answer any question related to the polls after opening the Youth Assembly 2011 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching here.
Speculation on the dissolution of the state assembly, whose term expires on July 23, went into high gear after Taib called on the Yang Dipertua Negri Tun, Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng early Saturday.
Political observers said that making the announcement Saturday made sense because both the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, and his deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, will be in Sarawak for the start of a meet-the-people tour of all states over several months.
Barisan Nasional holds 62 of the 71 seats in the assembly. The DAP has six, PKR and SNAP have one each while an Independent holds the remaining seat. - Bernama

What war are you talking about? All the goodies are on one side of the equation. If BN does not win it will be a big shame. Do not worry BN will hANDS -DOWN.
This is not a war. It is a game. We want to see who will now sit on the nest of eggs and try to take Sarawak down the same line as that most detested dot in the south that went from a per capita income of S$ 400.00 in 1966 to S$ 44,000.00 today when it did not even have water. Yes, now selected people who belong to the ruling class have the type of Per Capita income I am speaking about. But we also want the others to enjoy the wealth of the country. Or is that a bad thing in your BOOK.
