Ensulit Langit,

That was 18 years ago, 1991 state election. Just for the record only. I heard leaders of PBDS did approach him for candidate to contest against Ujang.
How far the story is correct, ask Dr. John himself, and why he rejected the offer, I am not the right person to tell you. Tanya iya empu.

In fact, org ai kemena enda suntuk candidate, maioh bepelajar tinggi ke ulih ngalah ke Ujang maia nya, but I think they rather play safe, sekeda angka agi alang2 ngidup kediri, baru nyumbuk, enggai baka Dr. Jemut puas merinsa kempen, ukai ulih ngena bilun baka BN. Menang pan sida ngelaban Ujang maia nya kada enda nilat burit Taib baka akih aku siko nya.

Laban nadai siko sida ke tinggi pelajar/ penemu berani ngelaban Ujang, enggai enda pen, Stephen Randy ga disabong…nadai kala menang taja enda kala nyau duit deposit.

Tambah mega Ujang maioh ubat pengaruh ninding bulu, antu tetap nyukung iya belama. Nibuh bejaku ke nya agi, kira jadi ke sejarah Batang Ai kemena aja.

Now we focus on Batang Ai by-election. Enda ngira Sapa menang janji Iban tetap mansang.

Beza iya:
Enti PKR menang BESAI, maioh YB kitai Iban sedar ke pengawa sida ngelama tu SALAH nipu bansa diri sambil ngenyang ke perut sida iya empu aja bersekonkong enggau Uban.

Enti BN agi menang, Khalid & Anwar Ibrahim deka nendang semua Tuai2 kitai Iban ke masuk PKR ngagai tekat ai Lubok Antu, nadai ulih dipecaya ke Anwar agi, enggai enda kitai dayak rebak baru tu meh mansang enti sida kelama nya enda dikibuh ke Anwar agi.

dear Dayaks,
I read with interest your comment on the abuse of the dayak adat. Nowadays the dayak adat is a piece of anachronistic adornment to worn by the powers of the day to the disadvantage of the dayaks and when convenient to the advantage of those in the corridors of power.
Take for example plasi menoa when converted to dollars and sense rm1700 or so. belanja anak enti sarak enggau laki about 200. enti mumpong ka perabong tunggu 200. pemali rm50.
enti penghulu ka tudoh perintah mutus nadai appea. terus rerak rumah. enti minta stay enda iboh. surat pemutus enda iboh meri timpoh tau ngapil.
It is simply raw justice and the adat iban has been reduced as instrument of oppression by those in power albeit through their mostly illiterate penghulu tudoh.
The iban adat is as good as the penghulus foot.
Now ajn wish to decorate the ibans with their manual which is not worth the paper it is written on . the reason being the adat is an ossified costom fit for the kerangas left out of the plantation and perhaps wiill sink into the peats for future generation to observe in thier lab as a specimen as having no teeth.

Bloggers,

why you guys criticize JJM only? you should blame Moggie & Tajem as well.

It was Moggie who brought PBDS to join BN immediately after 1991 state election.

And it was JJM who sacrificed a lot of his personal life to fight for Dayaks rights so that Ibans can prosper at par with other races. And why the Ibans not supported PBDS in that election?

Bloggers like you all only talk from your desk, why cant you guys come to the ground and explain to our people how to be self-independent? why should they listen to you guys if by cooperate with the government in implementing the projects they are happy people having the income to pay for their daily needs?

Now, Jawah is your candidate for the by-election, couldn’t that tell me you guys have no calibre person?

You said JJM is like Judas, but even a person like Dr John couldnt tell much what is not right with BN when he got the chance to tell the voters.
You dont know Dr. John also coward? where was him when PBDS need him so much to stand against Datuk Ujang that time?

Bloggers are always bloggers but you cannot change our people mentality if you only know how to criticize our YB from your comfort desk?

If we see many wrongs on the eyes of JJM, we vote him out in the next state election.

Now, ask Baginda to start the campaign ” Kick JJM out from Baleh”

Personally, I won’t choose the quality that JJM has. A leader with a divide and rule and frog mentality is selfish leader who is willing to betray. I won’t trust him to lead the dayak.

friends
I admire your information gathering abilities and firebrand comments.
But hate me if you will bcos what you all are doing is merely to act as bloggers and type in your knowledge. Sepi aku, this can go on till end of time. But blog will only be blog and bloggers will only be bloggers.
My point is

FIND A LEADER OR FOLLOW A MAN WITH GUTS TO LEAD
GET STARTED WITH ALL THE NECCESSARY STEPS TO BE ON THE GROUND.
KIKIS OUR BLOGGERS STANDPOINT- CRITICISM, CRITICISM.
LETS GO DOWN TO THE GROUND. I AGREE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE BRIANS TO DO THIS BUT WE ALL ARE MISSING THAT ALL IMPORTANT HANDSON QUALITY.
ARAP KE KITAI ENDA TAKUT.

I salute you all for the outstanding critiques and information gathering.
Friends, we all go go on doing this for the rest of our but missing/overlooked the very gist of our struggle.
Get out of this quaqmire
find a leader, or follow a potential leader, give him all our support.
get started

This is a beautiful letter.
I think, however, we should move forward and part ways peacefully. He has been touted as the Dayak hero but to appeal for him to become our CM is only to reaffirm that. Please, not after what he said on Aljazeera.
Now that we are not allowed to use that word to pray, he has to pray in English, then he can at least use the word ‘God’.
On a serious note, since our writer mention the gospel, what is our Christian BN leaders stand on this issue? Today’s Borneo Post reported that that word is not to be discussed anymore. If this ‘future CM’ can stand up for us and insist the Ibans can say Allah or Allah-ta-allah, then mine is an ‘aye’ but otherwise it’s ‘nay’, now and forever.

The next PKR project will be in Balleh, preparing a battle on JJM in the next state election. Kick this MONKEY out from leading Sarawak Dayaks + Ibans into the drains…..

Who does he think HE is in BA N29. Again I say, what has he done to N29 all these years and his beloved the late YB / Menteri Muda??

Now Jawah Gerang, his old friend, will stand on PKR ticket in N29. Then by April 7th, we Lubok Antu Ibans will tell him (JJM) how much we “LOVE” him…

Really? Never mix the religion, belief system in politics? Says who?

Then what the hell is J*bu doing in distributing the so-called Manual Adat Iban to longhouse chiefs/ TR? Since when Dayak adat must view outside elements deemed disrespectful? Or specifically mention the name PKR as disrespectful? Why don’t J*bu create another Adat Dayak Manual to curb the drinking and nyabong gambling culture? You see folks, it’s J*bu that mock the Dayak adat for his own myopic brand of politics. How about those masking the unfair state land code to rob the native land and give it to the plantation cronies? Any Dayak adat can be quoted to denouce such disrespect for Dayak rights huh? You know that some excavator operator died in Bakun after he tried to flatten a sacred tree feared by the Punans prior for access road to the dam? Isn’t it a disrecpect for Dayak adat?

What if that sacred bird to Dayaks called burong ketupong or burong girik suddenly whistle ‘krik krik kuok kuok ngundi p-k-r’ and all Dayaks must obey, do not do anything do not work except go out and vote p-k-r? Don’t you know a Dayak can shoot the bird and prevent the ill-fated from happening, like death? What, shoot all that birds available whenever Dayak spot it? You can mock the belief system but never attempt to rewrite or redefine it to your whims and fancies. The Dayak adat exist long before the Dayak knew what is that thing called democracy plus political parties BN or PKR while Brooke Rajahs try in vain to search that magic metal inserted in some Dayak warriors’ vein to make you ‘kebal’ or invincible which the Dayak still holds today, and sadly sold to the highest bidder.

Black magic you might think of Dayak adats but Dayak know whom to believe. So you take some Dayak adat manual rather more than its face value? Better rewrite it and specifically mention by wording all the opposition names possible and make it a new custom/adat to vote for BN. Adat Ngundi BN, that’s sound better and simply perfect. How about the Holy Bible then? Why not distribute it to all Dayak leaders, to all tuai rumah? Yes, distribute Holy Bibles. What, sound mocking the knowledge of Dayak about Christianity? Don’t know the meaning of Steal and Bribe is the same? Don’t shoot the burong ketupong/girik because Thou shall not kill?

Enough of this outsider-adat crap. Leave the Dayak adat alone to the Dayaks and WRONG for one man to dubiously manipulate it.
