What about Sarawak and Sabah

I learned from Geography since Primary School and have been taught that Malaysia consists of East Malaysia and West Malaysia. It has 13 states and 1 federal (or is it two now?). I also learned that Malaysia is supposedly a multi-cultural country with several main tribes, namely Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban and Kadazan as well as some other minor who make up the 25 millions populations here. Malaysia supposedly adopted British laws and practise of administration where it will appreciate human rights, equal oppoturnity, economy sharing etc to all of its citizen who pay the tax and contribution to the development of the country.

BN rules since indepedence (of course 此BN 不是彼BN) and I believed we have been overly focus only on WM (it is west malaysia, not windows mobile to those pocket pc fanatic..) and all its administrative power localized in WM while EM has its own of "freedom" of "self ruling "(or neglected...) I believed I do not see a minister from EM (or may be I am wrong) or is there a post of such for these two states? I also do not aware who is the chief minister or MB (or is this the rightful terms? i will need to check) But I only remember there is rotating head in Sabah as "a form of sights of power sharing" which to me it is just a politic games without really contributing to the actual development to the state.

BN won 53 parlimentary seats at EM and it is these seats that "marginally secured" the ruling of the BN. These 53 seats are all components parties and will be they be permanently the BN components party? Well, I hate to say but this is the fact that politic is politic, all can be jointed together for some benefits but when the benefit is diminishing and not "equally shared", the perjanjian can be broken. These 53 seats could be the next changes.... it will depend how and what are the "benefits sharing" that can still bide these 53 seats to BN. Politic is just a game. No one will be forever your enemy or your ally. (合久必分,分久必合) I am indeed anticipating there will be some after election shock could take place in EM. But one thing for sure, the present cabinet list may not be what EM likes to see and cheer about. EM is different compare to MCA, which shamelessly can be crowned as "no teeth sick dog" that claimed to be represented the Chinese, but instead has been abandoned by majority Chinese. MCA dare not demand for "rewards" for contribution of the help in securing 2/3 majority in 1999 election and still stay as it is today for its "equal power sharing" for securing 4 "useless" minister position. But this 53 seats have totally different bargain chips. It can overthrown the BN and force BN to become a brand new opposition party. It gives EM a great bargain chips now. It is just a matter if they want to excersize the chip for a gamble!

If one asks me, I believed they will be. It depends on BN "sweets" now.
