SNAP - The stubborn Dayak whore.

For a party which claims to have 100,000 members, it was quite a disastrous showing when less than 100 members turned up for SNAP's latest symposium held at the Grand Continental Hotel in Kuching over the weekend. The large function room was sparsely populated with a smattering of over 80 people and even this small gathering of so-called strong supporters gradually thinned out as the day wore on; a slight improvement from the 50 people who turned up for Sibu previously.

Despite the concerted publicity to advertise all their symposiums thus far, SNAP has not been able to mobilise even 1% of its membership to attend its symposiums. If the Sibu symposium of 50 odd members and now the Kuching symposium touted to be the biggest yet of only 80 members are anything to go by, then SNAP must immediately arrest this dwindling membership or accept the reality that its much trumpeted support by the grassroots is as good as non-existent.

Augustine Liom, one of the speakers at the symposium, was heard to be leading the charge against the BN on land issues. He spoke on land grab and abuses of the system as though he has been a champion of Dayak land rights since time immemorial. Very valiant of him. However, perhaps we should ask our learned friend why he remained quiet when he was a Sessions Court Judge and did nothing to rule in favour of the Dayaks who brought cases on land issues against the Government?
