   Correction: Is STAR a Sabah based political party? Perhaps Dr Patau, STAR president is from Singapore?

2. Dr. John Brian Anthony on April 9th, 2009 12:53 pm

   Tunabdulrazak – educate me on the real name for STAR please. It was an oversight on my part as I write. My apology to you.

   Dayakbaru,

   Dr. JB to bring Dayakbaru to National Party is clear explaination on our politic. Jaffar Onn had made National Party but reject by Malay and form UMNO in early 1950s and now this idea come out with Anwar as an Adviser. The Malaysian cannot be split forever. We need to unite.

   The main Dayakbaru target shall be nationalise our problem, globalize Dayak Rights not put it stuck at Kuching only. If we could not be a great leader or PM with national party but at least we can be a forcefull group at National level or abroad within the national party, not a kumpulan pendesak di Batang Ai only.

   In fact Dayakbaru shall be proud to be campaigned in Batang Ai by election recently, actually Dayakbaru is win, we can force the BN bring in 80 Millions projects to Batang Ai alone. BBC and other major TV network in the world can make report to take attention on Dayak Election, Lim Kit Siang was interviewed by Bloomburge TV, MAFREL spend their time to coordinate the free and fare democratic election and make report of Disruption of Democracy within Dayak Communittee. These are great price of our campaign at Batang Ai. Syabas to all Dayakbaru.

   Remember our real anamies are power abuse, corruption, nepotism, cronism, injustice, poverty, unfareness of development, unfairness of opportunity, unfairness in economy, unfairness in education, non transperancy, disruption of democracy within Dayak Communittee by buying voter or giving project, disruption of Dayak Property such as land/river/forest and many odd attitude where BN Sarawak has practice widely at the moment.

   Somehow, the disuniter are alway there to provoke our honest motive to make the progress of our love nation, Malaysia, but our struggle need to be percised.

   Hi Dr Brian,I just stumble upon your website/blog today and subscribe to your blog’s rss onward.I believe our Dayak must be change. We (dayak baru) always gives you fully support whatever we can. Go ahead and stay strong!!!

   To categorise PKR as a Peninsular based party by some quarters is tantamount to fickle-mindedness of the lowest category.
   PBB, SPDP, PRS, STAR are not political parties in their real sense. They are ‘clubs’ whose pre-eminent members are the so called ‘Yang Berhormat’. As ‘clubs’ these political parties only know how to look after their members own interests, at the expense of the people. If these ‘clubs’ are real political parties, why couldn’t they be united into ONE political entity?
   PKR appeals to all Malaysians primarily because it is a proper ‘club’ open to everyone and it looks after every members interests. Malaysians generally are more globalised and the advent of the internet with easy communication makes PKR more appealing to the masses.

   A Sarawakian joining PKR in future have equal opportunity to become the Prime Minister of Malaysia if he leads PKR in Malaysia

   - only if u are muslim. dont dream nonmuslim dayak can become pm
   - how many non muslims elected to pkr supreme council? most of them if not all are appointed
   - pkr just like umno but slightly better image than umno

   for me a new party/force by sarawakians/dayaks is needed outside pkr.
   become the third force in parliment be the kingmaker in parliment better than inside gov. rule the state, become the opposition in parliment. control the resources from the state, oil, balak etc…biar malaya tunduk kepada Sarawak

7. Dr. John Brian Anthony on April 9th, 2009 2:25 pm

   freeSARAWAK – i love your idea, which platform outside of BN in Sarawak can we use now?Your suggestion please. Do you mean we start to register another political party again – remember we done just that.

   Let us say the new party is call Party Dayak Baru Sarawak (PDBS)?

8. bala kaban on April 9th, 2009 2:39 pm

   Dear Dr John,

   IF ALL DAYAKS MIND ARE LIKE YOURS,I THINK DAYAKS WILL NOT BE AS IT IS NOW.
   IN BN THEY PURPOSELY NOT TO ERADICATE POVERTY BECAUSE THEY WANT PEOPLE KEEPING ON CLINGING ON THEM WHEN THEIR ARISE.1000% THIS PEOPLE (VOTERS)WILL SUPPORT THEM.
   PKR SHOULD REMEMBER:MOST MEMBERS FROM EX-BN ARE FRUSTRATED MEMBERS WHO WAS UPSET FOR NOT ACHEIVING PERSONAL TARGET/GAIN.THEY JOIN PKR JUST FOR REVENGE TO BN.
   SO..SO.. IS mr JAWAH GERANG ONE OF THEM???
   I CONSIDER JAWAH AS AN “EXPIRED MEDICINES”…CAN NOT CURE BUT MIGHT BECOME TOXIC.

   DR JOHN YOUR DID A VERYYY VERYYY GOOD JOB TO WAKE UP OUR SLEEPY DAYAKS.

9. Engkala Midar on April 9th, 2009 2:39 pm

   Freesarawak is right… Dr. John, plz works your plan. I believed all dayak baru will support that ideas-Party Dayak Baru Sarawak (PDBS)

11. Uchu Aki Ia on April 9th, 2009 3:06 pm

    I concur with Iban Abroad’s opinion. We Dayaks (Ibans especially), must not only confine our political struggle within the shores of Sarawak only. We must broaden our horizon. We should accept that we are Malaysians and not only Sarawakians. This is for the sake of our future generation. It’s time now for us to play national politics, and shake ourselves free from the shackle of partisan politics if we want to progress as a people and be counted. We need to be political players on a national stage from now on. We have seen how little can our local based political parties do for us. Most of the leaders are only interested to amass wealth for themselves and their families. Therefore, we must now seize on this God given oppotunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadadazdusuns and others who share our dreams and aspirations.

    Go Dayaks Go! For now the best choice is with PKR!

12. Rantai Tinso on April 9th, 2009 3:42 pm

    Dr. John,

    1. PKR is Parti Keadilan Rakyat. We all know that PKR is one part of PR=Pakatan Rakyat.

    2. In PR, they are DAP(maj. the Chinese), PAS(maj. the Malays) and PKR (i can say, mixture of races).

    3. Now, we, the dayaks/ibans in Sarawak want to join PKR because at this moment we don’t have any better platform than the PKR to voice out our struggles and frustration towards the BN.

    4. Remember that in Sarawak, we have DAP. DAP won few DUN during 2006 state election. Majority Chinese area.

    5. To win the Majority Malays area, we need to use PAS. Are we dayaks/ibans ok with PAS if they come here to stand against BN in the Malays area?

    6. Remember that in PKR, it can be Chinese, malays and dayaks/ibans. The possibility of the dayaks/ibans to be majority in PKR Sarawak is possible. But when it comes to Federal Level, im not sure how much we can make influence.

    7. I personally believe that we dayak/iban still do not have a party that can unite us under one umbrella. Unlike DAP and PAS in PR. This why we have to be under PKR.

    7.1 Can we all dayaks/ibans unite under SNAP and be part of PR?

    8. I hope that PKR be able to bring changes to the dayak/iban in many ways.

    9. One day if PKR does the same thing how BN and it’s cronies did to the dayaks/ibans, i really no idea what to do.

    10. May be we can consider to pull out from Malaysia, like how Singapore did. Is it possible?

    Thank you.

13. Parti Orang Kampong on April 9th, 2009 3:57 pm

    I would like to list some points why national parties such as PKR is needed is Sarawak.

    1. Local party in S’wak such as SNAP, PRS, SPDP simply could not organize themselves and lead our people. These party do not have the staying power to compete in politic. In the beginning, these parties look promising but at the end they adopt a policy of “if we could not beat them join them”. If these parties were to challenge the BN in recent by-election in BA, I am so sure that BN would not spend much time & efforts against them because BN is sure to win. However, with PKR leadership S’wak BN has no choice but to put all the necessary resources to win the election. Parties like PKR & DAP, win or loose in the election will continue to be strong in their agenda. We cannot speak for the same for leaders in PRS, SPDP and SNAP. Look at SNAP, Ting prostituted himself to Najib inorder to save the party. He is not interested to save the rakyat but himself. In other words, leadership in our local parties can’t bring the rakyat very far. This is the reason why we need leaders and parties like DAP & PKR.

    2. The current polital scenario in S’wak is attributed to no national party’s presence in S’wak. Our politicians do not welcome politicians from outside S’wak so that we continue to be a beggar during election. Politician said that we are not ready to compete. Of course we are not ready to compete with outside world as long as we are prevented from acquiring knowlege (politic, commerce, etc). Look at Russia & China, when these two countries were closed to the world before, these two countries were in extreme poverty just like many of our folks in the longhouses now. Prosperity can be acquired through openness and competition. By the way, lots of NCR or state land is given to companies owned by people from outside S’wak. They profit from it by becoming ali baba. The NCR owners have to work hard and even that profit much less that the outside ali baba. For this reason, we must accept parties like PKR & DAP.

    3. As reported by the mainstream newsaper, MDC was never approved because the Dayak is a threat to national security. Now look, since when did the Dayak become terrorist or protest at the streets? Who were the people that were release from ISA last Sunday? Are they Dayak? If they are not Dayak, then when did Dayak ever become a threat to national security. Please do not insult our intelligence. MDC was rejected because our leaders want to continue to cling to their positions. Long time ago, a politician told me that after him, he wants his children to be the ADUN/MP in his constituency. He wants to carry on with his dynasty. We are not accorded equal opportunity in politic. We hope PKR & DAP can offer that opportunity.

    4. Look at Selangor, Perak and Penang under PR. The chinese were given land titles yet we could not even have our rights on NCR. We have to wait for a by-election headed by PKR to get some RM80 million worth of development, citenzenship approved, etc. Places of worship other than Islam are given grants in states rule under PR.

    Of course I would expect some problems under PR rule. PR is new and need to learn the rope. BN has 50 years experience yet it is not getting better either.

14. Akai -enai -Waih on April 9th, 2009 4:04 pm

    PKR is indeed currently the only available “vehicle” for Sarawkian, especially the Dayaks, to pursue their political goals and recognition at National and International levels.

    PKR and saudara Anwar are GOD,s gifts to the East-Malaysian in particular the Dayaks !!

    Once in your life time,s opportunity for all Dayaks and Sarawakian to make a “BREAK-THROUGH via PKR. If you missed then another 50 years or so to waite……TAKE NOTE.!!

15. benny on April 9th, 2009 4:16 pm

    Dr. John,

    even with new Dayak party the Dayaks will become slave in sarawak..why??

    most if not All the previous and current Dayaks party fought for Dayaks betterment as their original cause but once theye got the support from the electorate, they tumbuh tanduk..becaome greedy and gila kuasa that is why it easy for taib to control all the Dayaks party leader…

    Dayaks,,, once they doing well, they will forget their own people, aksen banyak tapi bodo…

    so many dayaks leader in the goverment but Dayaks still miskin ke anak cucu, kais pagi makan pagi kais petang makan petang.

    its unbelieveable that majority Dayaks are under the thumb of minority greedy melanaus, ofcouse with dayaks leader help…

    come the next election, Dayaks will still choose to be under taib and stay oppressed. good things got chinese in sarawak otherwise all the available will be won by taib…

16. keretum on April 9th, 2009 4:19 pm

    I dont think to joined PKR is a good idea. Beside that, to join BN also useless bcoz of the mindset leader in this party. Hopely 1 day we will rise up with our own party, not the third party…Hidup Dayak!

17. Rantai Tinso on April 9th, 2009 4:24 pm

    To: Parti Orang Kampong,

    1. I agree with what you said. Indeed, you have given a good idea on why we need national parties in Sawarak.

    2. How do you see PAS coming to Sarawak?

    Thank you.

18. apairock on April 9th, 2009 4:30 pm

    MDC is the security threat of Malaysia once registration is approved. Is that what you meant John?
    On what ground they made that brilliant decision? Bawin is suspected terrorist? Dayak is a threat?

    It is just a nightmare to somebody political future only but not a national security threat.

    Can you imagine if one Dayak based party

19. Admin on April 9th, 2009 4:46 pm

    word ‘DAYAK’ in MDC make us united. But Taib and his friend try to divide and rule and erase the word ‘DAYAK’.

20. tunabdulrazak on April 9th, 2009 4:52 pm

    UMNO was once dead, but Mahathir revived it. Can we not revive PBDS?

21. Dyaks on April 9th, 2009 4:56 pm

    This is my comment on PKR however. Anyway, it is more on strategy issue rather than total weakness:

    One Dayak, One Enemy, One Destiny.

    Dayakbaru folks,

    It’s just one battle lost, well not on level playing field of course. Lost for a great cause can’t compare to a winning by a cheat.

    Now let us rewind to drawing board and redo some homeworks.
    Perhaps, DS Anwar should quit and let local Dayak opposition leader to take over to oversee Pakatan Sarawak pact. DS Anwar anyhow still become the general advisor but the ‘local issue’ must rest with the local Dayaks. In regard to PKR themselves, they know who are the nuggets to flush out down the toilet. Same goes to SNAP, remove the pro-BN goons that keep pissing around. There’s no two way for SNAP with ‘Pro-BN at Federal/ Opposition at State’ stand. Stop that crap and join forces with Pakatan fully at once.

    As far as Dayak electorate are concerned, Pakatan must review and listen more to the real Dayak needs. One word: One Dayak. It is very clear the Dayak mentality/ Sakai Mentality virtually still hard-etched to remove. Plus, the Dayak rural folks still prefer anything local. This is where the role of SNAP still relevant. PKR meanwhile can’t assume to ’sapu’ all rural folks (ciak be liao lah like that) where awareness on Barisan Najis still alien to them thanks to stinking shameless one-sided media. SNAP still can play a very important ‘local Dayak’ role while PKR and DAP must assist as one unit. Maybe on semi-rural/suburban areas where Dayak folks consist some considerably high concentration, then PKR can negotiate to claim more seats. On Federal level, it is more on PKR and DAP to take the fight and increase the MPs on Dewan Rakyat. On state level, it is DAP and SNAP would be more suitable to take on more DUN seats. But SNAP must get rid of the bollocks and put all the pro-Dayak team whereas PKR must practice mutual concessus with other parties. Give and take more. Remember, there are many Malay/Melanau areas that PKR already infiltrate but more fine tuning with PAS to get the same ‘Change’ message to the equally marginalised folks there.

    Dayak awareness is commodity for BN while a hidden treasure for Pakatan Sarawak to dig it out. In short term, Pakatan Sarawak must adjust accordingly to the Dayak mentality level and their ’simple needs’. They are timid and not keen on outside world, which is why J*bu always poking them on that ‘outsiders’ scam. Fine, wankers.

    The way we look at PKR is too rushing in bringing the ‘Change’ message to Batang Ai folks in which they’re yet to differentiate the actual evil of Barisan Najis. Time is not on PKR side. But it is a good experience for PKR to know and love the beauty of Dayak mentality first hand. SNAP actually still highly regarded by the folks there and this is where Nicky Bawin might spot-on. Let us all be proud of our common message and it is our message of ‘Change’ that made some kind of mad-cow rush by Yang Dikasihi and scramble to get this lonely small town. In the end, Batang Ai folks would enjoy the development they deserved while the cronies will get the debolotment as usual. Then after Safoca erected the telco towers there, let the folks enjoy the fun of internet and blogging with all Dayak around the world right here at Dayakbaru. The remaining question now, are they ready to buy some PC and at least pay some RM68 for 384kbs internet monthly? Yes, I heard that. Makcik PC, please.

    We now shall move on and keep on spreading the ‘Change’ message. Things that try to piss you can only make you stronger. Ohhhaaaiii WooHoo!

    One Dayak, One Enemy, One Destiny.

22. bong on April 9th, 2009 5:03 pm

    To address this issue of ‘outsiders’ perception among Sarawakians, we must have a local based party. It is easy for us, the more fortunate ones to understand the concept of national parties like PKR but to the rural folks, they would be easily misleaded by the statements ‘outsiders coming to get us’. Umno understand this, that’s why Umno leave it to PBB to do the works in Sarawak, or long time already it would set up base here.

    Fine we cannot choose any of the parties you mentioned, for they already with BN. I would think SNAP is a good choice, really.

    Well, why it must be limited to the word ‘Dayak?’. We also have Non Dayak Sarawakians, not supporting BN. A party similar to PKR or DAP platform would be a better choice, and this party should then join hand with Pakatan Rakyat and be a part of the coalition.

    We have quite a number of ‘groups’ working for one objective – denying the establishments in Sarawak – but not united under one platform. Just get these people sit together and form a party similar to PKR multiracial approach. If forming a new party is too time consuming, hard work to do.. we must choose one party to unite all these groups, changing a party constitution is easier than going through the ROS. Sacrifice must be made.

    Please don’t make mistake of creating another Dayak party. We have SOOOOOOOO many Dayak parties. For what?

23. Iban Abroad on April 9th, 2009 5:10 pm

    Dayakbaru,

    Talking about party as a platform to fight Dayak Right shall reflect the globalization to nationalize the Dayak issues. Most of the Dayak still can accept the Malaya base party. This is reality and Dayakbaru cannot deny it.

    The word Sarawak will make the other people outside least interested in our issue, especially ethnic group. I say this there are a lot of ethnic in this world which are similar to Dayak. For instance, Kadazan in Sabah, Thanh Nguyen in Vietnam, Highlander in Taiwan, Kampong in Combodia, Tibet in China, Sakai/ethnic Group in Malaya. With our party they can open their eye in their country, may be one day we celebrate Gawai invite all of these group in the globe. Their cultures are exactly like Dayak.

    I think we shall use the word Ethnic, Indigenous, Dayak, Malaysian, instead of Sarawak.

    I let to all Dayakbaru to choose.

24. Unak Semambu on April 9th, 2009 5:57 pm

    Lelak ninga kitai betalat ke parti. Badu agi mikir ka set up parti baru. Never ever think of forming another party, whatever name you call it.

    Simple reason, look back at PBS of Sabah how the federal government (through BN) pressure them from the beginning, used all tricks or rather illegal intervention that slowly made PBS losing its strength, which lead to the state controlled by UMNO.

    I think we have only 2 options.
    1. Join PKR. At least the dayaks dont have to worry so much about the financial matters on members recruitment, administration, setting up of new branches etc.

    2. Join BN through PBB. Now some of the dayaks still have the Taib-Jabu phobia. Once these two leaders step down or pass away (be it in 50 years time), the leadership will change and I expect the policies managing the state also change for the better. That is my wish.

    Any mosquito party will never can give dayaks the advantage in power sharing, managing the state wealth & the people.

    My wish are:
    1. SNAP to be permanently buried. Ngacau penemu ti agi kitang2, ngerua ai liur bejaku ke SNAP.

    2. SPDP & PRS- one day should also be abandoned by the members, the sooner the better- join PBB or PKR.

    Sapa2 merintah BN or PKR, kitai bisi siti aja suara. Rakyat enda kalat2 agi, enda bebelit ke penemu, muai masa orang rumah panjai baka diatu. We made them a lot confused, when that happened their tendency is to vote for a candidate who can give bread & butter. The future of the young generation for tomorrow is not their immediate concern or worry.

    It is a waste of time for the old aged rural folks to understand our complicated vision & objectives. Even we the young generation are still blurred and divided on which party is best for Dayaks to have a better say & share of state & national wealth- for & on everything.

    So, dont waste time nyebut pasal MDC, PBDS… whatever you name it. FOCUS 1 antara 2 saja.

    # Dr. John Brian Anthony on April 9th, 2009 2:25 pm

    freeSARAWAK – i love your idea, which platform outside of BN in Sarawak can we use now?Your suggestion please. Do you mean we start to register another political party again – remember we done just that.

    Let us say the new party is call Party Dayak Baru Sarawak (PDBS)?
    —————–

    Dr JBA,

    options:
    1. mdc – cant register because of dayakphobia. drop word ‘dayak’…Sarawak Congress. if the membership only open to dayaks, its impossible for us to get the 1/2 seats(majority) in state assembly. i believe this whatevername party should be rival to pbb. become the multiracial party but dayak based. if we realised, snap,pbds got troubles because of chinese leaders in the party, then chinese especially businessmen shouldnot allow to become the member

    2. independent candidate coalition – if we insist to have word ‘Dayak’ in the new party, then we should field our candidates as independent but use the same symbol and campaign as a team from now. any candidate we want to field should have a few back up candidates.

    we must realise that if in malaya, bn – pr become 2 parties system, any party/coalition need us to become the government. then support from third coalition is vital for any of them. but the third force/coalition should not be inside the ruling coalition. bargaining power higher. with this, we can regain/control what has lost since rahman-taib dynasty. its not possible for us force the gov to abolish petroleum act where malaya control the petroleum

27. Papong Engkilu on April 9th, 2009 7:48 pm

    The writer forgot to mention another Dayak based party in Sarawak- PARTY KOMINIS SARWAK. Remember aya aku niang Ubong was one of the founder members and is still awaiting registration from ROS.

    Anybody wishing to become member please write to me, Papung Engkilu or Belang Pinggang and maybe JJM Jr. Hurry very limited numbers accepted!!!!Protem chairman is UK, if i am right.

28. rungguensing on April 9th, 2009 7:49 pm

    Dr John,
    I admire your struggle to free us from this liar who stole our land and resources, they even worse than the snatch thieves..i know that PKR is a multiracial party but i really hope that you bring back the glorious of SNAP and remember that this is our true dayak party.And when i mention about dayak mean all iban,bidayuh and org ulu not only iban. If we focus to only say iban,we can’t never united.Our Sarawak people still recognise this SNAP and when they heard PKR, for them this is anwar party and still control by one race. In PR, we have DAP(chinese), HINDRAF(India), PKR(mostly malay)..We sarawakian? We sabahan? Are we gonna “menumpang” with PKR? mean we still need to dependent with someone and this make us been defeated easily because they don’t understand the meaning of multiracial party. Because they are been planted with the seed from BN saying “that orang Malaya mau amik harta kamu” so everyone will think that it is true. Everytime PKR campaign BN will say that Anwar come to Sarawak to take our “harta”. Why Anwar always? If they know dayak become a great opposition, don’t you think they will support us? Will they think that our dayak capable of leading them? not other races? Actuall what our people need is “Rentap”, a hero who can save us,origin from Sarawak, Dayak blood, born in Sarawak Hospital, eat pansuh, mandi sungai and etc..Not other ppl..What we really need is a HERO from Dayak itself…Please Dr John consider my suggestion..we have SNAP, bring back the fighting spirit of dayak…Compare this recently election with during bawin time when he was with SNAP, the majority is very slim right? The march 2008, i think not more than 1000 majority..Can all of you see it? our people need Hero which is not from malaya but from sarawak itself…Please make SNAP alive again, if this to happen, i want to be the first to register..

    Dr.JBA..
    free swk is right, we swkian should have a new party, but it will be better to be register with the word DAYAK…with this new party we will stand at dayak rural area.. but we must make a pact with PKR, let them fight at malay or chinese majority places..

    remember what PRS said during election at BA? they said “vote swk party for the sake of swkian”
    eventhough i supported PKR but when i heard of that words it makes me wonder a little bit..but i voted for PKR at least, but what about my friends around me??

    Pls DR.JBA, do something about this, we need a new swk based party..

31. Admin on April 9th, 2009 9:30 pm

    gerinang,

    Because of the word “Dayak” in PBDS was deregistered, and MDC unapproved by ROS.

32. Kenyalang on April 9th, 2009 9:38 pm

    “we want dayak party”,if dayak under pekatan rakyat..MDC will approve

33. gerinang on April 9th, 2009 10:14 pm

    To: Admin,

    we dont mind what happend in the past, we should try to register MDC..DR.JBA told us not to give up, so i learnt from it, if not MDC then try something else, SDC for an option…

    i will truly support u DR.JBA .. let’s kick out the JUDAS Dayak party (prs spdp pbb) in the next state election!!

34. iban samarahan on April 10th, 2009 1:44 am

    AGREE that we Dayak should stand in ONE own party…and be part of Pakatan Rakyat…let Dayak lead us…not DSAI or anybody else.

    PAKATAN RAKYAT : PKR, PAS, DAP, MDC (DAYAK PARTY)..well who knows one day we can have our own DAYAK MP in JB for example where we hv a lot of DAYAK overthere?…haha…

    Please ENOUGH is ENOUGH for DAYAK to become just a follower. We had been RULED by Taib, Mahathir, Abdullah, Najib…and later ANWAR? KIT SIANG? ….

    Dayak must be unite as Dayak under one roof and fight! Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban…enda pia?

35. Jelivan Apau Tidan Dau on April 10th, 2009 2:18 am

    Tabi semua,

    I have been following through the blogs for quite sometime now. I find its getting more and more interesting as days go by. My raids of thanks to Dayakbaru for initiating the issues.

    We dayaks should join hands and energy to form a new party again as all present dayak base party(PRS,SPDP,SNAP) are no longer relevant to the dayaks struggle to topple the sarawak bn in next state election. Inorder to achieve this,YOU(anyone among the bloggers here) should call on all related dayak associations(Iban,Bidayuh,Penan & orang Ulu) to come forward and join the struggle. These associations make great impact in propagating the issues.

    Dr.JBA please nominate those you think capable and appropriate for the tasks.

    Suggested party names:
    PANSA – Pakatan Nasional Sarawak
    ARAS – Angkatan Rakyat Asli Sarawak
    UDIP – United Democratic indigenous Party
    SIPP – Sarawak Indigenous Peoples Party
    SIAP – Sarawak Indigenous Action Party

    Sorry kaban dayak…
    salah post aku reply topic.. ditu keamat ya..sorry..

    Dear All Kaban dayak,
    points to ponder…
    1.Must we have a dayak party to get the dayak to vote for pakatan or a change?
    - in semenanjung DAP is considered as representing Chinese/tamil/hindu which is consist of few races and yet they vote PAS.

    - in USA, majority is orang putih yet the vote OBAMA(black man)

    cant we see that the world is changing?? why cant the dayak change?? The mentality of the world is changing, but must we dayak have to have a party that has the dayak word to gain votes thus helping the dayak?

    45 years our mentality has not changed and if by putting the dayak name in the party would gain vote from the dayak.. it really shows how our dayak brain works.

    Only 2 scenario, either we dayak are smart by voting a party with the word dayak or our chinese/tamil/hindu malaysian and even the USA people are stupid for voting PAS and selecting a black man(Obama) to represent the ‘orang putih”…

    And do the Malays at Bukit Gantang vote for BN(UMNO) even if the patry bears the word ‘MALAY’?

    so do we need party bangsa dayak sarawak(PBDS) again or any party with the word dayak? We dayak must change.. agree.. change to be smarter.. ehhhh.. belik aku

37. Dr. John Brian Anthony on April 10th, 2009 7:29 am

    Instead of jumping on to start a new Dayak party – which we did and was not given the approval by ROS we should really explore our advantages to be with PKR. Be patient and work hard with PKR – give our PKR option a “real chance” in the next State election.

    We have no time and resources to form a new party until the next election. If we depend on a new party, we might end up like MDC in the last election. That is not good at all.

    If you are thinking about SNAP – I am not too sure. Najib said it is still with BN and like the rest of you I am not sure about SNAP future.

    Think about what we could do with PKR and not what PKR can do for us – as a first step thinking approach.

38. Dr. John Brian Anthony on April 10th, 2009 7:39 am

    “abi ngagai dr.john brian…aku bisi macha ba internet arinya,bisi siti forum tuk madah ke bansa kitai iban tuk bansa ke cukup belik..ke ditemu aku,forum nya digaga ulih siko nembiak malaya ditu,tang ku enda nemu utai ke bukai la..ya madah bansa kitai dayak tuk agi diau ba atas pokok,nya kebuah fikiran kitai agi sempit..”

    Akai dai. Enda nyenyamai numbohka pati baru, unggal. Seagi sida ROS nya dipegai hasong ba pun iku, it would be damned difficult to set a new party. We have no choice but to use the current platform. We have to work hard to convince that PKR can deliver for us. We also have the right/chance to kick it out if it fails to fight or improve our status in future. Anang beleman, hayat. Beri meh PKR a chance to kick the hasong.

40. Jelivan Apau Tidan Dau on April 10th, 2009 8:49 am

    YES..we dayak must change…can someone find out by category of age and literacy the number of dayak voters. We can base our strategy from there.

41. apai rocky on April 10th, 2009 9:43 am

    Hi Guys,

    For me ‘Party just like a ticket’ important is WHO will lead the party?? Party address by named but we as a dayakbaru required a leader fulling with truly new revision leadreship develop our dayak life.

    Neither PKR or what ever party if the leadership still crush with old system affected our goal to polish our dayakbaru mind.

    Let the past PBDS remains as a history.Now is PKR but we need more cautious,as understanding PKR = Keadilan+DAP+PAS but which is concern about Dayak life??

42. BYSTANDER on April 10th, 2009 10:15 am

    DEAR ALL,
    WE’VE DONE OUR BEST VOICING OUT OUR FULLEST SUPPORT AND IT’S TIME TO GLOOM OUR NEXT CANDIDATE FOR NEXT GE.I THINK JOHNNY CHUAT IS A BETTER CHOICE.HE IS YOUNG,DYNAMIC,EDUCATED AND STRONG BACKGROUND.LET’S GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO PROVE HIS WORTH.

43. bibaru on April 10th, 2009 10:46 am

    After read all the feedback, it is save to conclude that we (Dayak) need another party. And if we go to the ground (esp the dayak voters) i believe majority will agree. And I believe majority also will want the new party to be associate to PR. They will have no problem with that, in BA by election, BN is successfully used this issue (PKR is outsider). I cannot blame the voters, they are lack of alternative information.

    From my experience mixing with other pri-bumi (Orang Asli, Kadazan, Dusun, Murut, Kenyah, Kayan, Bisaya, Bidayuh, Iban, Penan, etc), i cannot see why we cannot united. I can feel there is biological or natural sense that connected us, we mix and understand each other very well, we look and respect each other. The feeling is not the same if we mix with Chinese, Indian, and especially Malays. I’m not racist but this is the fact.

    So to unite the Dayak and the other pri-bumi, it is very important to have a new party, maybe we call it “Parti Pribumi Malaysia”. This is to fight our political struggle.

44. Parti Orang Kampong on April 10th, 2009 11:15 am

    To: Rantai Tinso.

    Sorry that I was not able to response to your question on PAS coming to S’wak.

    Well, PAS is a very strong party that stick to their ideology despite the forces against it. Their staying power to shoulder on paid off. I have a Kelantanese friend and I asked him why the Kelantanes voted for PAS? His answer was very clear, ie PAS protect their interest. If UMNO were to rule Kelantan, the Malay land will be taken for development and enrich the few. Frankly, if I am a muslim, I would join Pas.

    Unfortunately, I am afraid PAS is not a relevant party in S’wak due to our religious set-up. PAS would be seen as pursuing islamisation to the Dayaks if it ever try to visit our longhouses and I do not think this is acceptable. In the recent BA by-election, many Iban rejected PKR due to its association with PAS. I would think PAS should just remain in West Malaysia. I hope PKR will not bring PAS to caimpaign in the longhouses in the next election as it is more a liability to do so.

    Selamat Ista.

    Dear Apai Rocky,
    Don’t you think that PKR = Keadilan+DAP+PAS is concern about the dayak life… which is also a Malaysian Life?? I dont think there is any way the dayak people in sarawak could go out and form another country…

    I know during the Batang Ai election a lady from Ranau (kadazan) drove to BA just to support PKR and the Dayak, and holding a DAP flag during nomination day. Why did this lady do this?

    Our fellow chinese sarawakian in Kuching voted for keadilan and not a DAP yet majority of people in Kuching are degree/phd holder.

    In fact I think most malaysian want a new malaysia, a new line up(barisan) which we Dayak must ride in this boat or else left behind.

    We dayak have rode in an old boat(50 years old) and yet we are not moving that far.

    Lets us be in the new boat, and let us elect a dayak to that new boat to steer us to a better life. In a Dayak man or woman we believe…

    Hidup Dayak!!

    Dear Mr.Belik aku,

    Bro,

    Now is PKR but we need more CAUTIOUS,as understanding PKR = Keadilan+DAP+PAS but which is concern about Dayak life??

    For me CAUTIOUS is the most important.Believing in out viewing is the comment ways of ours thinking but we need inner reflections that prove truly deeply dayak spirit towards development.

    That why my menyadi,on these great walk happening we need new boat as yours mention but which boat??
    Either PKR or our dayak self????

    Boat is easy to build but who’s the Pilot??
    Is the steer belong to Anuar?
    Is the steer belong to Nik Aziz?
    Is the steer belong to Wong Ho Leng?
    OR,
    The steer belong to Dayakbaru?

    Menyadi Mr.Belik aku,

    Yours opinion really respectful,we need kind of this dayak to achieved the goal.

Pls don’t try to belittle snap.We are new generation of snap and we don’t take crap from you.We fought the last election but you support BN.

    Dr JBA,

    explore our opportunities in pkr? like i have said b4, although pkr is a multiracial party it the based is still malay… most if not all nonmly/muslim pkr in supreme council are appointed

51. Igat Lembau on April 10th, 2009 3:59 pm

    Be care when the word DAYAK is inserted in the party. Pehin may not like it. That’s why, there was a serious business in deregistering the PBDS. Only that one guy was entrusted to destroy it smoothly. I don’t think the word DAYAK can make an impact on the success of registering a party.

52. Anak Katibas on April 10th, 2009 4:19 pm

    Tabi Dr. John.

    Ba penemu aku kitai patut begulai enggau PKR laban PKR udah bisi foudation ti kukuk to groom our leader and to gain more support from our young Dayak which is more educated minded.

    1. Uji ambi ke banding enti kitai nganjung pengari ari Parti kitai dayak ba Ba election tu kemari ukai beduduk ari PKR nadai tentu sida BN nya ke mansut ke 70 million nya untuk sida LA.Laban kitai dipeda sida bedau bisi pegering ba resourses and finacial support taja pen leader kitai udah kering.

    2.If we form a new dayak party.Yes we can if the ROS can give the approval. But any of the Dyak millionar want to support us to face Swak BN on the coming election eventhough they know that our Dayak Baru leader and the group are having a strong support.

    3. Our Dayak should join PKR on their boat. Once we have our leader on their boat he/she not to be a YES man to them.They should bring the spirit of our dayak people had support them.See what Karpal Shing with DAP and our dayak leader should follow his foot step and his principle.

    TQ.

Tu ke-9 taun aku udah enggau PKR,lalu selau begulai enggau orang di-semananjung, sigi manah,percaya ke bangsa kitai….wai2.

    Anang enggau BN.Klelau maioh Parti bercampur dia.
    Ok….siti cerita ringkas tu enggau kita.Lebih kurang 2 bulan udah lalu.

    Bisi siko ari petunggal aku di Tatau bercerita, iya tu orang PRS.Udah lepas pengawa bepilih MP 2008 tu suba, semua orang ke kuat nyukung component parti BN, baka PBB,SUPP,SPDP &.PRS. Sekurang nya 2 iko mesti enggau dalam siti Parti.

    Sida tu di-kangau bala sida BN di-Malaya, laban deka ngintu ungkup babi ti deka di-beri bala BN di semananjung din, ko jako semaia enggau sida.Kati nemu kita,semina orang ari PBB aja iya ke maioh ungkup.Baka ke-bekunsi ke shares ba Sarawak &.di semananjung.Lalu tudah petunggal aku tu tadi lalu terus nadai meh ngujung ke iya pulai murus ke-Tatau.Ukai semina iya aja, tang ari SUPP,SPDP &.PRS bukai sebaka baka nya meh.Tau di kumbai nadai bolih magang.Peruntukkan, semua pulai ngagai orang PBB semua.Nya-alai nyentuk ke diatu nadai agi meh iya tu percaya ke BN Sarawak.

    Terima Kasih.

54. JJM Junior on April 10th, 2009 5:31 pm

    I HATE the word DAYAK to form whatever new party.
    I told you guys here, Dayak or to be more specific Iban never can have a party that can unite the Dayaks or Ibans, not within this century.

    Common sense reasons:
    1. Ibans have no money to run the party. Ujung2 ngiga towkay Cina Apeybayat, sampai arap ke anak Apeybayat ke agi bau kerungan nyadi calun. Puiii..kasih amat kitai Iban ngemeli kediri enda peiga-iga. Jena dia terlampau ka ngarap ke org anang sampai semua budak kecil pun tahu pengawa YB kitai Iban salah?

    2. Ibans never united to fight for their rights. Suah agi ke ka kepapas ke bansa diri.

    3. Ibans never committed to work for bansa diri. Best example is gerempong (SADIA). Selalu jengap2 minta sapi, kengka ke nya aja, nibuh kira enti baka pemaioh ngau Cina.

    4. Ibans are selfish towards own race and willing to betray own race if he got the opportunity to leave his own race for a green pasture land. Too many examples, I know, you all know.

    For the sake of talking ok, you can mention ten thousand times dayak or Iban party but your talk will never can solve the problems because of the 4 reasons I have given above.

    I could easily list dozen of reasons but the 4 above are enough to discourage you guys to form a new dayak or iban party.

55. anak sarawak on April 10th, 2009 5:41 pm

    selagi nadai parti dayak jd oppositiion…lupakan jak impian DUN sarawak…PKR will not get support from most dayak and sarawakian…because most mindset especially the elders..we should support Sarawak based party.

    this might be reason why..PKR lost more majority in Btg Ai compare to SNAP..

56. apai rocky on April 10th, 2009 6:35 pm

    Hi anak katibas,

    I salute you bro, paragraph # 3 is really meanfull.My above concern finally got the answer.

    We really need that kind of person,please menyadi help us dayak to perform kind of this person neither he or she important is the leadership spirit which the path is followed to develop ours dayak life.

    It good idea if we join into one boat with PKR but as above mention CAUTIOUS is the important.
    Believer the progress not the promises.

    Important now for us as my humble opinion is not the named of party but the changes,progress,development,benefit sharing fair flow into ours dayak with other races.

    Hoping ours menyadi at Btg Ai will get that RM70m project maybe BN get shocked when PKR germinate at Sarawak.Finally BN learn the words of ‘CAUTIOUSLY’,if the RM70m remain as janji bekimpin for sure lot of gentlemen here will question the BN & Btg Ai resident will remembered their past history.

    Spring salute to all of gentlemen here on the great opinion,together we dayakbaru united & followed the same path towards our dayak improvement life.

    -Unite bring back ours dignity-

57. Igat Lembau on April 11th, 2009 7:53 am

    Manah endar meh parti PBB nya nyau iya aja aja amat meh parti bukai nyau besilihganti betukar ke nama baru WALAUNPUN MAYUH GA IBAN DALAM NYA. Parti Sup Tulang pen manah gaga amat meh bisi kala charut tang sida enda muai parti. Kitai dayak/iban sigi amat beli peda aku. Kati ku kitai nyau enda tetanka parti baka sida PBB enggau SUPP nya. Enggi Jemot nyau bendar gi iya ka mechahka parti selagi iya bedau dipadu megai tampok parti neh.

58. Iban Abroad on April 11th, 2009 7:22 pm

    Dayakbaru,

    Form new party may be easy task but recruit grassroot in rural area or Dayakbaru voters in longhouse is a big question. Its need big money, a lot of work to do, needs active group to attract and unite the members.

    Better Dayakbaru get more expate to consult even from abroad before form new party. As I know, most of my friends from oversea say, it is big mistake for Dayak to form another party without proper & strong financial support, without proper facilities such as offices and etc.

    Base on the Dayak situation at the moment, (where majority of Dayak are still not matured in politic and still highly influent by political and environmental development NOT like USA or Malaya where people are mature and argue about politic base on issue) Dayakbaru cannot denny it. To get the grassroot support from Dayak now, Dayakbaru seriously need local Dayak Party to attract grassroot supporters among the Dayak. BA is one of the example. Dayakbaru must think about this to form the party.

    It is better to maloby existing party such as SNAP, and try to get Dayakbaru to be a main pilar on it. SNAP still have grassroot around, take example Nicky Bawin. Iban are proud and without fear campaign for him during GE-12 as they were SNAP before. But BA by-election, Iban were suspecious of PKR.

    Dayakbaru can start to negotiate with SNAP members. How Edwin? what is your Idea?

    If this failed, second altinative is support PKR cos Malaysian in general are on the way to National Party. Only Dayak are still not ready, but this is not doesn’t mean that Dayak will not support the National Party. Cos now majority of dayak are not matured in politic, environmentaly development inadequate and they do not know or interest in National Issue rather than local issue.

59. Dr. John Brian Anthony on April 12th, 2009 4:11 pm

    hardcore Snap – Aku enda setuju SNAP enggau bepilih 2008 laban (1) enda chukup organization (2) nadai duit. I did not support Barisan. Read your Borneo Post properly – laban aku bisi nyimpan cutting nya.

    But then you are just trying to bring confusion to the issue – what more can I say?
