Guan Eng: Pakatan needs one-third of Sabah and Sarawak to take power
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 7 — Lim Guan Eng set an 18-seat target for Pakatan Rakyat (PR) today in Sabah and Sarawak for the next general elections to take over federal government.
“You cannot give them this kind of handicap. To win Putrajaya, you must win more than two seats obviously.
“If you want to make a change, Ubah Malaysia Ubah, you must try for at least 18 seats in Sabah, Sarawak. That is one third.
“It will bring you closer to your target. You are within striking distance of the majority of the seats,” the DAP secretary-general (picture) told reporters after launching a fundraising website for the party’s campaign Sarawak.
In 2008, PR was 30 federal seats short of taking over Putrajaya with only DAP winning seats in Sabah (Kota Kinabalu) and Sarawak (Kuching).
However, it gained another seat in Sarawak when DAP state chief Wong Ho Leng won the Sibu by-election in May 2010.
The Sarawak state election in April last year saw Barisan Nasional (BN) losing 16 seats, twice the number it ceded in the previous state polls.
DAP made the biggest gains, doubling its representation to 12 while PKR won three seats, up from just one in 2006.
PR leaders have said the April 2011 will translate to gaining another four to six federal seats in the next general elections but believe even more voters will swing their way during federal polls.
Both PR and BN needed Sabahan and Sarawakian votes in order to retain or take over Putrajaya.
BalasPadamHope that Sabahans will make the right choice during the next GE, don't be easily influenced.
BalasPadamEveryone want Sabah and Sarawak , have they done enough work for the people of East Malaysian? Are Sabah N Sarawak still the fixed deposit ?
BalasPadamdi sabah juga muncul pakatan borneo bersatu...adakah PR yakin akan dapat 18 kerusi sabah dan sarawak pada pru 13 nanti?
BalasPadambn atau pr memerlukan sabah dan sarawak untuk ke putrajaya pada pru13 nanti..ini bermakna sabah dan sarawak adalah penentu..
BalasPadambn sabah harus lebih gigih berusaha untuk mengekalkan majoriti menjelang pru13 nanti..gelaran fix deposit perlu dibuang agar tidak melekakan jentera pilihanraya bn nanti..cabaran getir dengan kemunculan parti baru selain daripada UBA dan PR bakal dihadapi..
BalasPadammungkinkah sabah akan mengalami tsunami politik pada pru13 nanti? kita tunggu dan lihat.
BalasPadamsabahan and sarawakian, please vote wisely in the coming GE..
BalasPadamthe future of this country is in your hands.
BalasPadamIf sabah and sarawak is soo important for BN and PR,then why aren't they doing much effort to help the people. There are many issues that need to be solved.

More like in our hands. We need to evaluate wisely so we could vote wisely.
Neway, i hope for nothing but a good government who actually concern about the people.
BalasPadamSepatutnya dari dulu lagi Sabah Sarawak wajib diberi perhatian. Sekarang baru nak berebut-rebut untuk ambil hati rakyat di sini?
BalasPadamPengundi Sabah Sarawak harus bijak menilai kerana semua parti sekarang pun akan menjanjikan untuk buat yang terbaik kepada negeri2 ini. Sabah Sarawak menjadi perhatian utama mereka pada PRU13.
BalasPadamPengundi Sabah Srawak harus bijak kerana semua parti sekarang pun akan beri tumpuan lebih kepada kedua-dua negeri ini sebagai usaha untuk mereka untuk takluk Putrajaya.
BalasPadamIf Sabah Sarawak are the main factor that can help them to form federal government, then they shouldn't neglect these two states once they achieved their mission.
BalasPadamAll parties are focusing on gaining Sabah and Sarawakian votes, but we Sabahans prefer local parties to lead the state.
BalasPadamPeninsula based parties should put their attention on the Peninsula states and leave the East Malaysia states to our own local leaders.
BalasPadamSabah menjadi perhatian kepada semua parti politik.
BalasPadamsemua parti kini berusaha untuk mengambil hati dan mendapatkan sokongan daripada rakyat Sabah.
BalasPadamyang penting, rakyat perlu bijak membuat pilihan yang tepat.
BalasPadamI agree, we can have a federal Govt in Sabah.
BalasPadamEveryone should vote wisely. Your vote can change an outcome. Good outcome and result depends on every vote.
BalasPadamHope the people will make the right choice.
BalasPadamAdvice to all…the best choice is in your hands.
BalasPadamWe all must decide for what is good for the state.
BalasPadamLet’s pray for both the people of Sabah and Sarawak.
BalasPadamThe people should make wise choice at least for the next generation.
BalasPadamParti sememanjung yang memerlukan kita, tapi Sabah tidak semestinya memerlukan mereka.
BalasPadamUndilah parti yang betul-betul boleh membawa kebaikan kepada rakyat Sabah. Bukan parti yang hanya mahukan undian kita untuk matlamat mereka sendiri.
BalasPadamberpeluangkah Pakatan Rakyat setelah wujud Pakatan Borneo di Sabah??
BalasPadamto win Puterajaya, you need to cooperate with other opposition parties..
BalasPadamadakah Pakatan Borneo mampu menandingi Pakatan Rakyat
BalasPadamSabah dan Sarawak dekat2 PRU13 ni semakin laku pula.
BalasPadamSusah dicakap, berkemungkinan rakyat memberi peluang kepada Parti Borneo ini.
BalasPadamRakyat harus pandai menilai. jangan mengabaikan masa depan anak negeri demi kepentingan jangka kini.
BalasPadamParti yang bercorak berbilang kaum dan bertujuan memperjuangkan yang terbaik kepada rakyat akan menjadi pilihan utama rakyat.
BalasPadamAnother Tsunami politic will soon happen. Just can sense a lot of them will jump party.
BalasPadamBukan tidak mungkin persekutuan di Sabah. Perancangan amat penting untuk menjayakannya.
BalasPadamLets see how Party Borneo going on.
BalasPadamParti local atau parti semananjung tiada bezanya, yang beza cuma mereka ni betul ikhlas dan sanggup memperjuangkan yang terbaik untuk orang Sabah.
BalasPadamRakyat pandai menilai yang mana baik atau buruk untuk mereka.
BalasPadamMemang BN memerlukan Sabah & Sarawak, negeri ini memberi kerusi yang terbanyak.
BalasPadamMasa undian, semua datang ke Sabah, tetapi masalah orang di Sabah sering dipinggirkan.
BalasPadamundi dengan bijak..
BalasPadammau dekat2 PRU ni..makin femes pula sabah dan sarawak..apa2 pun terpulang kepada rakyat.
BalasPadamPilih parti mana yang betul2 ikhlas membantu rakyat.
BalasPadamKalau dekat2 PRU kan mesti Sabah dan Sarawak dapat perhatian:P hehhee
BalasPadamBagi saya semuanya terpulang pada undi rakyat. Siapa yang dapat undi lebih banyak dialah yang menang.
BalasPadamSemoga rakyat dapat membuat pilihan yang tepat.
BalasPadamBukan satu yang baru kalau Sabah dan Sarawak popular dekat2 PRU. Apapun alasannya, saya harap rakyat akan buat pilihan yang terbaik.
BalasPadamSelebihnya kita tunggu dan lihat sajalah nanti. Semuanya akan terjawab bila tiba masanya nanti.
