Updating SDNU’s Initiative

Posted by Dr. John Brian Anthony

Introduction

on 18th oct night Sarakup Indu Dayak Sarawak (SIDS), the women wing of Sarawak Dayak National Union is having an annual dinner in Sibu Civic Centre. The SIDS Chairpeerson is YB Senator Datuk Empiang Jabu and by virtue of being the Women’s Wing Chairman, she is an automatic Vice President in SDNU. The other automatic Vice  President is the Dayak Youth Wing with Dr. Dusit as its Acting Chairman.

It is important to note that all must become SDNU member first before they could joined SIDS or its Youth Wing. SDNU/SIDS and the Youth Wing must work closely together to ensure success in implementing its various initiatives.

Current Activities

  • September Opening of Sibu Jaya Branch
  • 27th September – SIDS Dinner in Serikei
  • 27th September – parental talk in Sri Aman
  • 1-3rd Oct – study visit to Pontianak to meet Dewan Adat Dayak
  • 4th October – SIDS Parent / Student motivational talk
  • 18th October – SIDS dinner in Sibu
  • 18th October – SDNU to participate in Education Motivational talk in Lamanak through Dr. Dusit
  • 19th October – visiting SDNU property site in Sibu / Bintangor, Serikei and Saratok
  • 25th October – SDNU installation night in Saratok

There are some dates for SDNU/SIDS events in November but the date cannot be announced because there  are not fixed yet.

  • Dayak leadership Symposium
  • SDNU 52nd anniversary
  • Visit by Dewan Adat Dayak from Kalimantan
  • First 2009 State Gawai Dayak Preparatory meeting

Other Initiative that has not being decided but in the plate:

  1. Develop certain SDNU landed properties – mixed development
  2. Incorporate the SDNU “Special Business Vehicle” – eg. Dayak handicraft and provide financial products
  3. To come out with a concept to help Dayak workers – eg. Union
  4. Special Fund for Organzing 2009 Gawai Dayak
  5. Special fund to help slow learners in 2009
  6. Setting SDNU Branch in West Malaysia
  7. Networking with other Dayak Organization: BDGA, SDGA

SDNU is encouraging Dayak to set up new branches in order to carry out specific work to improve the life of Dayak in their respective area.

Conclusion

SDNU is undergoing rebranding exercise and all helps from the Dayak communities are highly appreciated. The Dayak should not fear the “punitive politic of development” because if we allow that to continue it will only serve to disempower ourselves.

    It’s interesting to know that SDNU has land properties in Sibu, Bintangor, Sarikei & Saratok.

    Does SDNU have budget allocation from govt?

    Baka ini nuan tu? All these while you have been condeming and damming Jabu, and I think Empiang would not take kindly your words because you have never shown any respect for her beloved husband DP Jabu. So how, you should resign from SDNU. SDNU never represent the Dayak, but just a group of disgruntle Iban who wants to be the Chief Minister of Sarawak.

    IP, you sounds to have a personal agenda here.

    Iban Paloi, chicken and Egg: we voted in Jabu, so it is just fair that Jabu help us back in return. Does that little help means that we have to adore Jabu throughout? No! His time is up. Thank you Mr Jabu, but you have to go. You are an obstacle to Dayak’s political progress.

    DJBA What u do in SDNU? You are committe member of SDNU, u should play ur part to develop dayak mentality through SDNU but you do nothing. In Dayak Baru you only take advantage for political millege not from the bottom of ur heart to help dayak.

    Dr.John,

    Lets be productive, prudent, proactive and positive, I try to put up/share my ideas/contributions in SDNU and hope to register myself soon in this coming November. However, I am not interested in any political agenda. My focus and contributions would be in business, economic development and humanitarian agenda only.

    As for your itinerary on 15/11/08 (Dayak Association Miri Dinner) and 1st week Dec, Majlis Adat Dayak Kalimantan Visit, I will try my best to attend and make myself available for meetings. Info

  17. Jang Manchal on January 25th, 2009 6:47 pm

    Apoooooooo……….. nyau memanah anak penemu bala kitai ditu neh? Lebih agi enggi Unggal Iban Paloi nya, Unggal.
    Kati ku sida ditu enda nganu Aki dek nya, Unggal Iban Paloi. Nya laban iya paloi baka nuan empu.

    Strictly no politicians in SDNU!!!!!!!!!!!!NO CRONY OF HUSBAND AND WIFE OTHERWISE THEY ONLY DO THE F*CKING ALL THE WHILE without doing much for the dayak.

  18. Api Kiek on January 29th, 2009 1:16 pm

    Apoooooo….Nama munyi nya ditu SDNU nyau baka ke disi semua komiti iban nya deh unggal? Nyau baka SADIA nya, unggal? Enggai nyadi baka nya. Salah atur nya baka nya, unggal! Kati tu serakup ke iban aja neh? Nama nadai nama sida unggal aku ari OUNA enggau DBNA nya deh? Nama nya nyau baka ke bisi double Serakup Iban Dayak nya deh unggal? Tau peratika buah runding aku tu ke enda lebat, unggal. Salah meh pengawa kita ke baka nya tak ninggal ke bala unggal aku ari OUNA/DBNA. Aku pikir, komiti dalam SDNU nya diatu tau diteberunsaika awak bisi meri awak ke bala unggal aku ari OUNA enggau DBNA enggau nyaup ngeringka sida dayak dalam menua Sarawak tu di baroh SDNU nya ila.

    Aku arap ke jemah ila, sida SDNU tauka sebarang association ke baroh iya nya tau organize dayak foodstall ba ruang/palan opis sida empu tauka dini dini palan nitihka atur ke kala dipejalaika gereja lebih agi baka sida gereja katolik.

    Nadai ga salah ngangau ke sida endun Jennifer Jack, sida indai uhang Jenny Tan ke landik belagu merindang kitai ba pentas dayak enda milih maya rami besai gawai, Hari Kebangsaan, Hari Raya, Deepavali, etc. Tang jimat ke. Anang deka megai endun nya sengapa kita ke bujang, ke apai uhang miang, ke aya ke udah parai bini, enggai ke semetap kening kena tampa! Duit ulih ari nya tau pulai ke tabung SDNU ga unggal tau kena nembuka rumah Dayak ba Satok.

    SDNU pen ulih ga dikena mantu sida dayak ke patut dibantu ketegal ke dempa sida ke jai enggau enda betatak.

  19. Uchak Empakap on February 7th, 2009 8:52 pm

    Yes, the SIDS should be the same in status as the SADIA, OUNA, DBNA…..It should function under the SDNU but represent the women who comprises women of all dayak races! The committee must be revamped. Ukai nyau indu iban aja aja ba komiti iya. Nya nyau bini Aya Abu aja aja ke menerajui SIDS nya. Kati iya aja aja indu ke pandai ba menua tu. Indu Orang Ulu, sida DBNA pen bisi meh lebih pandai ari iya menerajui SIDS.

  20. Sama sama on May 4th, 2009 2:13 am

    Ukai nanahka Senator Empiang Jabu enggau bala komiti SIDS, tang ga nyangka bala indu ari raban dayak bukai nadai nganjung nama minta pilih ba AUM BESAI SIDS. Aku sinu endar ninga serebana bala komiti SIDS madah kepengelelak sereta pengiruh diri bejalai ke pengawa serakup (tiap-tiap aum besai). Ka enda ga nadai orang ka nganti, pia ko sida. Aku muji pengeliat ati sida megai serakup, aku enda sanggup baka sidanya. Ukainya bisi begaji, ngerugi bisi. Arapka mayuh agi kitai ari semua raban indu dayak nganjung nama minta pilih ba AUM BESAI kedudi ari ila. Minta semua bala kitai indu dayak seati ngambi gerempung kitai maju. Besatu kitai maju, bepechah kitai lemah. MAJU SIDS!
