Taib's arrogance-ness has no boundary. His 27 years in power as Chief Minister has gone over his head and acting more like a dictator. He's absolute authority or inquestionable truth in every aspect of political matters that other should not raise any issues within his administration. He is the authority beyond question. Taib is always someone who takes advantage of another individual /party that he or she perceives as more vulnerable. The goal is to gain control over the victim or to gain control over a social group, in this matter party members. Is this not an impulsive bullying?
Prevalence
Bullying has existed as long as there has been Taib's existence in Sarawak political scene. However, recently our society has become more aware of bullying and its harmful consequences. Hence, some brave members dare to speak due to their inherent awareness of their silent has led to greater marginalization.
Taib surround himself with friends in the like of Jabu who condone and promote aggressive behavior. He does not develop a mature sense of justice. He intimidates others to cover up his own insecurities.
The bystander who observes the interaction may become frightened to express himself openly. He may eventually adopt the behaviors or either the bully or the victim.
Those bullies lacks empathy for others. Has low degree of anxiety about consequences. Narcissistic need to feel omnipotent. May appear to have a high self esteem but it is actually a brittle narcissism.
Don't Blow Up Bullying Issue - Taib
KUCHING, Oct 29 (Bernama) -- Sarawak Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud has called on all parties not to prolong and blow up the issue of bullying raised by members of smaller components of the coalition.
He said the allegation that bigger component parties were bullying the rest was "a small matter".
"You don't need to ask me questions like this," he told reporters at his office in Wisma Bapa Malaysia here today.
He was asked to comment on a Malaysiakini report on Saturday which quoted Parti Rakyat Sarawak member Beginda Minda of the Balleh division as saying that Umno at the federal level and Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) in Sarawak were too dominant and bullying smaller BN components.
Taib who is Sarawak Chief Minister, is also PBB president.
Former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting was also reported to have said during the party's 55th general assembly recently that Umno seemed far more dominant compared to the other components and wanted the BN leadership to correct the situation. -- BERNAMA
