Is this Taib's last inspiration opportunity?

It was reported in the Star today as follows

KUCHING: Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud returned Wednesday from his pilgrimage to Mecca and said he has received the inspiration on when to call the next state elections.

"I have the inspiration but I won't tell you (the date)," he told reporters at the Hornbill Skyways Hangar here. - Unquote

Sarawak elections this time around will be difficult to predict as there are too many variables and uncertainties. One thing is for sure, Taib and BN will not have it so easy this time around, he probably will not get as many seats but will the tide of change be strong enough to take the state away from his clutches and decades of dominance. Only time will tell.

Another thing for sure is that PR will only get the state if the tide goes against Taib although one would naturally expect that PR will gain more seats through DAP in urban areas while PKR and PAS are relatively weak in urban areas but in the rural areas is another story. DAP, PKR and PAS are all weak in rural areas and you ain't winning Sarawak without the support of the rural folk. What PR needs is a local entity to anchor itself in Sarawak but will the PR warlords allow this to happen as this will erode their power and influence over Sarawak. I think it is a little too late for that but one never knows as if the voice of dissent is so powerful that the spillover in support translated into seats will be more inclined to go to a local indigenous party and to PR if it is supported by local indigenous parties. PR by itself?; hmmm....don't see an opportunity there.

But then again, who am I to say, I am just the rakyat, simple, plain and ordinary rakyat and that too from the Peninsula. Maybe the Hornbill will bring change and maybe not.

Lets see.
