Dayak as the next Chief Minister of Sarawak

Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony

A bit of History

Tun Jugah and his team mates for saw what may happened to Sarawak 45 years on after forming Malaysia. They negotiated for time and concrete affirmative action to help the natives of Sarawak to grow and be one day at par with those from Malaya.

Hence for Sarawak, the 18 points agreement was ironed out to protect its people. Are we protected today from the onslaught of West Malaysian politics and business power.

Our first two Chief Ministers were Dayak.

Taib Mahmud and Rahman Yakub accused Kalong of selling Sarawak to the Chinese. UMNO believed Taib and Rahman and therefor Ningkan was brought down from power. That is the first instance of UMNO involvement in Sarawak politics.

From then on – Taib and Rahman forged a merger with PESAKA to form PBB to meet UMNO’s requirement of Dayak participation in political leadership in Sarawak. It lasted and gained strength until today.

The Reward for Dayak

Those Dayak in PBB are well look after – especially the PBB elected representatives till today. UMNO need to see a strong PBB – ( as it is UMNO proxy) and UMNO needed to tap into sarawak wealth to support their own political agenda of “Ketuanan Melayu”.

The Muslim in PBB are overjoy till today and therefor has remained loyal to this day to PBB. PBB gives its Muslim members many business ( timber licence / mining / urban land / contract quotas / plantation / sawmilling / monopoly of certain business sectors ) in order to keep them united out of fear of Dayak population that can easily take over the State leadership.

Taib’s Strategy

Taib buys the Dayak loyalty. PBDS is really a non-starter to UMNO and Taib’s politics. Rahman  intruded into the Dayak political potential in PBDS and let Taib to finish it off, which he did very well.

PRS and SPDP are registered multi-racial party with Dayak based. Indeed only PBB is the only native party in Sarawak and therefor meet UMNO needs again.

Our voters

The Dayak voters are now confused with what to do as the strong party is PBB.

The Election commission help to strengthen PBB by creating more seats in Muslim areas. PBB is further strengthen by PBB planted YBs in certain seats held by SPDP and PRS.

SUPP will never be a threat in any where. Probably SUPP used to be BN- Auto teller machine but not anymore now. Taib has develop more wealth than any Chinese and he has distributed the responsibilty of making money for PBB political cause very well.

What is PBB political cause then?

PBB needed to keep the Dayak and Muslim in power. The Muslim wanted to remain the Captain in Sarawak and any Dayak in PBB who show a little bit of interest to take over as captain who be eliminated.

Why then do you think that Tan Sri Jabu will react voilently if there is suggestion that he must go for the Chief Minister position. Jabu did not want to be eliminated by Taib. For his loyalty Jabu is rewarded with many things but not the least to build a political based around PBB candidate of his own choice.

Jabu’s role

Do not ever think for a second that any PBB Dayak YB would ever go to defy Jabu’s political wish. These PBB YBs are the being look after. Their performance to the constituency is NOT IMPORTANT but what is required is that they must win their seat by whatever means.

If money is needed, Jabu will provide that to the PBB Dayak candidate in order to buy vote and win the seat.

Jabu will ensure that Dayak must not go for the Chief Minister position – because he knows that is not what UMNO want and not what Taib want. Jabu would go all out to nail any signs of Dayak thought of taking over the Chief Ministership position. It is entirely a “personal” reason to see that Dayak will not be able to mount an attempt to take the Chief Minister position.

Is PKR the answer

You will never know. Those you can see light at the end of the tunnel for dayak through PKR will put their bet that a Dayak would be the new Chief Minister if PR win. DAP has posted such a question to Dayak in PKR – who would be Chief Minister should PR win?

It is a “trap” question – and DAP would used the answer to negotiate for more seats in Sarawak.

Many concrete thinking voter would want to know the answer – that would eliminate the doubt they say. It should be decided by PKR and there is no reason why PKR should share such information with their political opponent.

What would Dayak do?

During the era of PBDS the dayak has shown great political wisdom. I do not see why it cannot be repeated and actually I would expect to see better result as Dayak land has been taken away from them – through “legal” means as devise DUNs and BN policies.

Are those not supporting BN hopeless people?

The posting by BN people in this blog seemed to indicate that those not with BN are frustrated and those that failed in business.

I BEG TO DIFFER. Those not with BN are those who are able to fend for themselves and sustain their political struggle against an unjust BN government. These are truly successful people who do not seek sponsorship and easy money from negotiated contract and preferential government business.

Conclusion

We all know that Dayak need to move forward and to make the Change WE must, we must aimed to take the Chief Ministership position. PBB Dayak WILL NEVER DO IT. PRS and SPDP are too small to make the effort unless they switch side in due course.

Then it would be a possibility for Dr. James Jemut Masing or Dato Seri William Mawan ikom to become the next Chief Minister of Sarawak. Well if PBB Dayak join in – Uggah would be a strong contender.

Tan Sri Jabu – with his poor health condition is at best history.

    We don’t try to stop people from speculating. We don’t care who will sit on the top as long as he is not corrupt and always put the interest of the people first. So far BN is only blessed with this character of leadership. BN have plenty potential leaders who are capable to take the stewardship anytime should situation warrant for such event.

    PKR are welcome to Sarawak to make the election more merrier and no other than that as they did in Batang Ai. We don’t dismiss that Taib will one day go but by then PBB has breed more matured leaders.

    As dayaklama guessing JJM and William Mawan would never be installed to the throne simply because they are not in the “bin” family.

  3. Sempurai on August 24th, 2009 7:47 am

    The Star 9 April 2006. Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Salang said. ” Some years ago, Dayak leaders were still wishfully talking about being the natural heirs to the chief ministership – if onlythey could be united.This unity has proven elusive. Today, Dayak leaders no longer aspire to the chief minister`s seat.Even if the current two Dayak-based rivals merge, they would only have 17 out of 71 state seats and only 10 out of 31 parliamentary seats. The Dayak will never be chief minister based on these numbers. ”

    So, DB what say you?

  4. Iban Abroad on August 24th, 2009 8:11 am

    Dayaklama,

    You are confusing Dayak. Your posting is exactly in “Sirat Political Mentality”. Please learn to use “Tanchut Political Mentality”. Sorry for that.

    Previously you said nothing wrong with corruption, power abuse, nepotism cronyism and Discrimination to Dayak in BN. All the way you know that BN practise it and telling this blog all politician including BN are corrupted.

    Now, today you said BN do not mind who will be next CM as long as he is not corrupted. I think there is no corruption in this world if PBB and UMNO is not corrupted. Nothing to hide.

    To me it seems that you are supporters of corruption, nepotism, cronyism and discrimination policy, which I call bad policy.

    DL, we need to stop, if, not minimised a bad policy, our country and our people on the pass, now and future cannot effort attached with bad policy. Sooner or later the people will all stand up fighting against it.

    Ketuanan Melayu or the word Orang Kita is deployed by BN as hidden word for power grap, corruption, power abuse, nepotism, cronyism and discrimination thats all the way jeopardizing Dayak Rights.

    The Good Dayak Leader need to chose by Dayak people directly thro all Dayak votes. In order to get this system or Dayak Voting, Dayak need their own political party. To get this political party Dayak need government support registration of Dayak Political Party. To get the government supporting the registration of Dayak own party, Dayak need to put BN outside temporaily or permanently. To put BN out, Dayak need opposition to take over.

    The vote is in your hand.

    BN can chose Dayak leader and give CM post to Dayak but not a good Dayak leader.

    Dont’ get the wrong messages from Dayaklama. He is with us. I konw him. Iya semina ka meda bakani dayakbaru respond to critical or sarcastic questions when get caught in the arguement with perintah BN.

    Use your intelligent neurones to make the counter attacks or some brilliant ideas to quash the negative perceptions ke selalu ditabur ke perintah BN ngagai opposition. If you re emotinal and get carried away dan senang mengalah macam CA & MT……you are chicken!

    Nguji aja submit tu……enda pasti ulih? I wish this also failed.

  7. Dayak on August 24th, 2009 12:49 pm

    PKR or BN. Both are morons. Both are control by greed.

    PKR will destroy the dayak rights by giving equal rights to non-bumiputera.

    We have to learn from history. For example, native rights for Indians in North America and Aboriginal in Australia were completely taken away by non-native people.

    Good example is in Singapore. Native Malays was killed by Chinese Gangster. Look at Sarawak now, how are we going to give equality when dayaks are being mistreated by the chinese gangsters.

  8. CharcoalArt on August 24th, 2009 12:53 pm

    Dr John, you had said it all, leaving quite litle room to comment. I find the idea of salvaging the current Dayaks leaders to build up the case for chief ministership as very interesting. If you said PBDS had the political wisdom once then it is only wise now to incorporate the lessons learnt and re-group – to form something much bigger than PBDS. This can be achieved if Dayak leaders are ready to take the chance, do they?

  9. Mabel Rachel Maria on August 24th, 2009 12:58 pm

    We did not see anything wrong with Dayaklama ideas. In fact he sparked some ideas to make our mind keep on ACTIVE thinkings.

    See, his guess is the same as our and it is 100% correct,”…JJM and William Mawan would never be installed to the throne simply because they are not in the “bin” family.” It is true, not in the near, with the conditions of dayak unity today”. Well “Bin” is controlling the line today, and ” ak ” or anak is on the end of the Line. Even though according to the alphabet A should be first then B. But what can we say ” Awal Kemudian or ak ”

    Well, Dayaklama keep on posting and gives us some KNOCK HARD ideas, man. Your ideas and points are must awaited.

    Thank you.

  10. Sempurai on August 24th, 2009 1:48 pm

    For your information, most of our friends Melanau Christians are using `bin` stand for `anak` in their identity cards. It doesn`t means that `bin` is applicable to a muslim only.

    Anyway, if you are the Chief Minister, you are the Chief Minister of the Malay, Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Chinese and..all. A dayak chief minister will only be one who merits it, when every community wants him to be {one). He will be chosen by the Malays, Chinese and Dayak communities.

    See how people can twist and turn. Since when is being frustrated and failed in business classified as “bad”???

    If someone robbed you and you get frustrated as aresult; is that mean you are to be blamed and branded as bad???!

    I have heard top leaders use that “frustrated” argument every time, in newspaper, even in speeches broadcasted in radio – and large majority of Dayaks are not able to recognise who are the the “victims” or the “aggressors”.

    Condemn the victims! that’s right just follow what AHB say!

    Jawah Gerang said it as such or else his development fund would be fucked up by people in power.

    Many people like to shoot Dayak Lama and Uncle Ben – you should stop on your step, sit down and think instead.

    I am for 2-party system. “Like diapers, politicians need to be changed and for the same reason” – Robin Williams. Change the whole set of political leaders, how sure are we that the new ones are better? The only way to ensure we get a better set of politicians is if elections are democratically allowed as proxies of change. That is the main objective of change; not because there are better politicians.

    Secondly we are pointing fingers at the wealth of non-Dayaks. As I said there are plenty of wealthy Dayaks; do you ever get any help from them? My experience tells me that it is difficult even to get an appointment with wealthy Dayaks. But I have been called to work for companies like CMS and UBG.

    Dayak politics is full of jealousy and hatred. 2nd Division Ibans hate 3rd/7th Div. Ibans. 4th Div. Ibans do not see eye-to-eye with either group. Malays, Chinese they all argue but they still can share Coffee-O at the same table. Not the Dayaks, so quick to shoot, bedengah.

    In 1994-1997 I criss-crossed Sarawak meeting many Dayak leaders for projects. Investors were willing to place substantial investments. Instead they were more concerned about other things. When projects fell to Malays and Chinese, we point fingers and called them cheats and robbers. When UBG started, there were a few Ibans given participation in other banks – no need to mention names, but you can guess who. What did they do to their holding? A few Ibans (that I know) had their chances but failed to develop them.

    In the late 70’s when I wanted to continue my studies, I cried (literally) looking for money and saw those rich timber-Dayak’s children being send to London, Australia, NZ and USA. How lucky to have such parents. Rich connected Dayak got government scholarships for their children. I approached the same Dayaks, sorry. But I need only RM16,000 for a local degree. Sorry again. I will pay back. Sorry, get out. A Dayak being better than a non Dayak? Not by my experience.

    And yet we are here because we have hope – hope that we have better people, better administration, better professionalism and accountability. It’s only fatalistic fools that refuse to believe in hope.

    I am for a change in administration in the state. If not anything else, it is the “diaper theory.” (My last posting until Dec. Deprived of a chance to study I am returning to college at age 51. So, see you guys later).

  15. Kenyalang on August 24th, 2009 4:42 pm

    Jabu will ensure that Dayak must not go for the Chief Minister position – because he knows that is not what UMNO want and not what Taib want. Jabu would go all out to nail any signs of Dayak thought of taking over the Chief Ministership position. It is entirely a “personal” reason to see that Dayak will not be able to mount an attempt to take the Chief Minister position—-part of the DJB Post today—

    Ti beketu reti ya kita mesti ka bisi reformasi baru and create the new dayak politic agenda.

    Dayak, this is Malay from semananjung… Malay is not your enemy, we are bumiputera, we should work together, you don’t listen to PR (I’ve been conned in 12th GE felt sorry for voting for PR). If you come to semenanjung, people from Sabah/Sarawak are making friend easily with the Malay than Malay with the Chinese and viz a viz. We must work together build our economy, the Malay problem is with the Chinese, but the Chinese trying to make like Malay is the enemy of everyone in this country!

    Well,

    May be I am not so wise like many of you are here but I still have a bit of wisdom to be share for most of us.

    The history has proven that we dayak are capable of anything and we dayak know something in leading everything. Mr. Stephen Kalong Ningkan is just an example of those who is eligible for the post but he eventually fall into a deadly trap setup by malaya to ignored our existence.

    If I am keep on thinking about a real history not a “manipulated version from malaya”, I will alway want somebody lying motionless without head on the streets. Their twisted history has made many of us confuse and denied our right in our sole land. That is why when I hear malaya girl being raped and thrown into a river, malaya drown inside our river. I didn’t feel I should condolense them because this is the pay they should have for invading and imperialise our land.

    Some of us say the current government is capable ngemansang menua kitai. The answer is they are not. Only their propaganda proves they can. In reality they are not. Some of us say they are angel.. yes they are. The Fallen Angel, rise from the pit of darkness in destroying us.

    Stay steadfast in our cause and fight. Let the wisdom be in everyone mind to judge the truth and the false. Pray that one day justice will prevail. The sufferer one will be the winner. GOD bless DAYAK and make him be a king of Sarawak.

  23. CharcoalArt on August 24th, 2009 7:08 pm

    MT – I’ll give him a thumb up for being that sharp..LOL.

    SAW – thanks for sharing.

    Jojis – yup..isn’t it true.

    For the rest of you guys – it’s about time we think outside the box, apply critical thinking and able to recognise the goods and the bads. Statements by the high almighties condemning people who had lost, frustrated or failed, etc. should no longer be accepted with open arms. It’s time to re-think and see where justice lies.

    A person who failed once, twice, thrice and later become successful deserves a big round of applause. For instance, Datuk Joe Salang had lost many times in election, look at him now. Those who are laughing and ridiculing others who are “frustrated” or failed, may one day fall from grace – tulah ko kitai yuu!

    What crucial is we must be fair, steadfast in our beliefs, give respects as necessary to friends and foes.

    1. Do we think that all Dayak YBs in BN ( sounds like )are rich? Thats one of the problem ???

    2. We want Dayak to become the CM. Do all or majority Dayak is behind him? Since Jabu is DCM, shouldn’t be a problem if all dayaks are supporting him. Do we all want to stand behind him..I m doubtful. Same goes to all other dayak politicians. Who ever name put up by the dayak, guarantee there will be another dayak the first to make noise. When others see us like that, what will their reaction? Bedau agi nyebut bangsa lain ke sengaja enggai ngasuh kitai dayak nyadi CM. This is another problem….

  27. semugah on August 24th, 2009 9:30 pm

    Dayak as the next CM of S’wak. nama utai ngasoh kitai Dayak enda tau nyadi CM di S’wak ? 1st CM Dayak 2nd CM Dayak. The 1st one was ask to step down. It was quiet a dramatic story about it.Any one knows exactly, about this story please share with us.The 2nd one just a sit in CM. Wait for the right time for the 3rd one to take over. Then come another drama of the uncle and nephew just a little trick for the people of S’wak. Drama after drama and we just follow them until today and we were afraid to say anything about it, do we have to keep quiet and let things passed by under our eyes and do nothing about it. When they say Dayak are not capable to be CM, look at the 1st and 2nd CM they done nothing for S’wak and we become afraid to challenge for the seat, I think it is better to step down as YB ministers if you don’t have the nerves to do so. let the new blood take over. bala bujang kempang ati,bujang berani mati,bujang lelayang…..hasss apai,ila bisi ngepi asai…

  29. uchu keling on August 25th, 2009 2:17 am

    dont worry about that…maybe it is too early for dayak to change in a short time…but what i’m see is our people in a procees now to change it…maybe not this 2 or 3 year. but around 5 or 10 year soon. if there is no people will stop us to continue a better study especially at semenajung. ‘ coz what Dr JB said is true, until when our people will hoping that our fucking goverment will help us….that all
    maybe next time i’m will be the CMS
    hahahahahhahaha..what the funny..hope its will be realty

  31. Cikgu Iban on August 25th, 2009 6:50 am

    It would be every Dayak dream to have a Dayak becomes a Chief Minister. And it also everyone wish to have all the Dayak predicaments solved at the same time.

    Therefore, when looking at the practicality of the two dreams, I would like to find the panacea for the former. Things like Dayak education, marginalization in private and public sector, Land policies employed as tools for NCR land grabbing and so forth are far more important than talking about chief ministership at this point of time.

    Of course, it obviously be nice to see our state led by a Dayak who supposedly is expected to exercise his roles in a more and just manner to the Dayak without hindering the progress of other races.

    Hence, for the time being let us concentrate on solving the Dayak problems.

    Cheers….

    First thing, first:

    1. To be the next CM, the state constitution only require simple majority support in the DUN.

    *(3) The Majlis Mesyuarat Kemjaan Negeri shall
    be appointed as follows, that is to say-
    (a) the Yang di-Pertua Negeri shall first
    appoint as Chief Minister a member of the Dewan
    Undangan Negeri who in his judgment is likely
    to command the confidence of a majority among the
    members of the Dewan Undangan Negeri

    2. ADUN for N-1/2/16/18/19/25/26/27/28/29/31/32/34/41/42/43/44/52/53/55/56/57/60/66/67/69/70

    do not have Muslim or Chinese-sounding names. Thats about 27 of 71 ADUNs.

    Now, lets play realpolitik.

    The odd that 27 of 71 ADUN agree among themselves to choose CM among them is 0.38 (27/71). Not enough to fulfil the majority requirement in the constitution.

    The odd has to be improved. So you will need the support from among 44 of 71 ADUN.

    What is the probability of 27 non-Chinese/Malay ADUN will agree among themselves AND what is the probability of any of the 44 will join in ?

    Answer: Infinitely small.

    For Dayak political grassroots, I’m often seduced by the idea that they may be rallied to unite by the simple vision of putting a Dayak CM into office.

    That is also, to rally -not- only for unity but to break the psychological barrier and the subservient mentality that repeat itself at every General Election: “Dayak can never be the perintah.Our perintah was the almighty British and the Queen. After Malaysia, our king is the Melayu king (read: our perintah and political master is Melayu). And Taib is the present day incarnation of our collective Apai – we die-lah, if god forbid, he were to drop dead”.

    You will see this argument play itself in every coffee shop, in many shapes and form. Some will say, Dayak can never be good at anything. Too stupid. Too poor. Too emotional. Too easily manipulated. And the best part of the argument will be the one that says, a Dayak CM will be no better, if not worse than Taib. Imagine crony with more insight knowledge on how to rob/rape Dayak wealth, or whats remaining of the land ?!

    So many good reasons to aim for the CM post.

    But so highly improbable, and way too many assumptions that a confluence of events will take place at such an opportune time, before the approaching General Election – to make it happen. Even if it is miraculously attainable, by all indications – it will still be a weak position (dependent on external support)and therefore can be easily manipulated.A given CM position can be easily taken back (1 plus countless 0s will buy all 71 ADUNs). Let history be our lesson.

    So, of PR position, in regard to the CM post, that I will support is the following:-

    1. Amend the Sarawak State Constitution so that the CM post is limited to 2 terms only. Better still, if the constitution can be amended to prevent a dynasty, just like what has happened in the posperous “republic” of Singapore.

    2. Amend, enforce, enhance the following clause in the state constitution, to avoid the -tendency-for public sector contracts from being awarded to companies for which politicians are either majority shareholders or members of board of directors

    *(2) A member of the Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri sha11 not engage in any trade, business or profession connected with any subject or department of government for which he is responsible and shall not, so long as he is engaged in any trade, business or profession, take part in any decision or the Majlis
    Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri re1ating to that trade, business or profession or in any decision likely to affect his pecuniary interests therein

    3.Don’t let CM office anywhere near the Finance/Planning portfolio.That will prove too tempting for mere mortals. And since the good books – Bible, Koran, Mahabhadgita, I-Ching, Torah – make no explicit definition of cronyism, corruption, nepotism -you can imagine the explosive mix when moral ambivalence is mixed with billions of opportunities. Let the CM be responsible for Education only. I will bow and kiss the earth and murmur Yang Dikasihi if the CM manage to make Sarawak children and youths excel at Education, to a level that put them ahead of their peers in Peninsula (as a benchmark).

    4.To gurantee by constitutional amendment at the State and Federal Level, that a Deputy CM position in Sarawak is reserved for a Dayak ADUN, to safeguard the community interest from further marginalisation as the country march towards modernity.

    5.Appoint a second deputy Prime Minister from Sarawak and Sabah in alternate term, with full cabinet powers as the existing Deputy Prime Minister.

    So I have to disagree with many of you who wants a CM post for Dayak.Lets face it, Dayak is not ready. When? Who knows ! Its down the bridge, but I believe many would concur that the situation would be better if Sarawak is a republic like Singapore. There, the strength of the bond that is “Ketuanan”,will not be in a position to nip in the bud, of any Dayak aspiration to megai ulu -not to squander wealth but to address the Dayak predicament, as PRPR would say. However, there’s much that Dayak can extract and negotiate for from the political system (although I agree with Seliong politics is not the panadol for all Dayak ills) – if only there is true unity of purpose, and a bit of long-term strategic thinking.

    My previous comment is only the answer to the topic Dayak as the next CM of S’wak and with the two examples of the the 1st and 2nd CM of S’wak so what make Dayak cannot be the next CM ? not qualify ? What about our Dayak Dr.(s) Lawyers etc..out there are they not qualify ? please don’t under estimate our own Race (Dayak) I think the only problem is they don’t united or cannot work together and another problem is everyone wanted to be boss.anywhere anang dulu ngaku alah unggal belum cuba belum tau …chau..

    Sheikh Seliong: “Secondly we are pointing fingers at the wealth of non-Dayaks. As I said there are plenty of wealthy Dayaks; do you ever get any help from them? My experience tells me that it is difficult even to get an appointment with wealthy Dayaks.”

    –Yes indeed there are plenty of wealthy Dayaks, but under 2 category:
    1) Wealth from their own rags-to-riches (very very RARE)
    2) Wealth from past inheritance/past cronism (no introduction)

    Those wealthy independent Dayaks will view and talk differently than cronism-riddled wealthy Dayaks. Both will regard Chinese highly in business but one of them instead of learning their tricks (from language, school to mentality), abuse the Chinese to do the tricks for them.

    That’s why those wealthy independent Dayaks will not hesitate to share or even expose all the tricks but very big difference to the cronism-riddled wealthy Dayaks…well they cannot share much because they never learn themselves!

    Of course our economy is all about crony-capitalism which got nothing to do with pure competence and business endurance but you can bet all your nickels to which Dayak can survive if thrown anywhere even in the desert, as how Chinese equally will survive as well.

    Sheikh Seliong probably met mostly the cronism-riddled wealthy Dayaks, but once you met somewhere a single real wealthy independent Dayak he is all absolutely Chinese brain, vote DAP, don’t care the f-ck about paying income taxes but best of all he is a Dayak, pure and simple.

    It is important for Dayak to change, example in business and learn from the Chinese. You are on your own money independently. They are Dayak even better than the Chinese. They are not only keep buying fellow Dayak lands (in big areas) but also town area lands from the Chinese. Like Chinese using their own sons/daughters expanding their business, these Dayak did the same and so did the Dayak kids keep on expanding their business and buying more lands, reinvest even more bigger business.

    How about the cronism-riddled wealthy Dayaks? Quite the opposite and all based on pure piggyback the Chinese. Everything the Chinese must foot the bill: from free cars, free big banglo, free oversea college/uni fees for their kids etc. For as long their political patronage alive and kicking, it shall be that way and still live a rich man.

    That is the gulf of change between two sets of Dayak. If the independent Dayak passed away rest assured the children will equally carry on independently (they learned the tricks already) but if the other Dayak is dead politically means the kids also ‘dead’ but not the Chinese. The Chinese will look for another crony while not lose their wealth at all, unlike the crony Dayak which is once dead it’s all gone.

    Dayak still lacking the idea of sustainability, kinship in business or family business is rare for Dayak. Crony business basis, yes it’s common for Dayak political goons. What happen next upon death or grooming the kids properly to continue the Dayak family business perhaps another business barrier, not a business venture at this moment. Raise a business for Dayak is tough and rare, to continue it next generation and even bigger business is one big Dayak fairy tale.

    Sheikh Seliong: “In the late 70’s when I wanted to continue my studies, I cried (literally) looking for money and saw those rich timber-Dayak’s children being send to London, Australia, NZ and USA. How lucky to have such parents. Rich connected Dayak got government scholarships for their children. I approached the same Dayaks, sorry.”

    –That is thru scholarships. Wait until you dig out the Dayak kids being ’sponsored’ free, failed their study (not qualified but hell, its free lunch anyway) but end up ‘buy’ their degree and again it’s all paid free by the AliBaba Chinese subcontractors. These Dayak with fake degree will not stop there. Once coming back, they will start another round of swindle: gatecrashing all the crony GLC companies/govt agency dept. for easy top posts doing nothing yet get paid high director fee or salary.

    Sheikh Seliong: (My last posting until Dec. Deprived of a chance to study I am returning to college at age 51. So, see you guys later).

    –All the best to you and please don’t do any MBA or PhD thesis paper on Dayak voting patterns or study on how resistant the Dayak in embracing modernity. Its worthless and useless thesis-based MBA or PhD. It’s like studying where the sun is going in late evening.

    In order to stop the tears and to reveal all the agreement contents happily, well, each page will require a block of timber logging concessions area in return.

    Cikgu Iban: “It would be every Dayak dream to have a Dayak becomes a Chief Minister. And it also everyone wish to have all the Dayak predicaments solved at the same time. ”

    –To rub some salt on Dayak wounds, it’s the Dayak leaders themselves killing own Dayak so if you think whoever can become a CM as long he is fair and just to everyone then Yang Dikasihi will never make it to the list isn’t it? The fact that there are also just as many Melanaus are dirt poor as the Dayaks.

    “Therefore, when looking at the practicality of the two dreams, I would like to find the panacea for the former. Things like Dayak education, marginalization in private and public sector, Land policies employed as tools for NCR land grabbing and so forth are far more important than talking about chief ministership at this point of time.”

    –Ironically none of those things ever materialise if not for a Dayak CM to act dearly to his own Dayak wouldn’t he. If you think whoever can become a CM as long he is fair and just to everyone then Yang Dikasihi will never make it to the list isn’t it? The fact that there are also just as many Melanaus are dirt poor.

    “Of course, it obviously be nice to see our state led by a Dayak who supposedly is expected to exercise his roles in a more and just manner to the Dayak without hindering the progress of other races.”

    –Not only hindering the progress of other races but abusing the supposedly delivered development for all as basic human rights (not delay tactics as per Politic of Development) is what the evil falsehood that Yang Dikasihi trying all of us to believe. And without ever thought of having a rightfully a Dayak CM? Fat hope!

    “Dayak politics is full of jealousy and hatred. 2nd Division Ibans hate 3rd/7th Div. Ibans. 4th Div. Ibans do not see eye-to-eye with either group. Malays, Chinese they all argue but they still can share Coffee-O at the same table. Not the Dayaks, so quick to shoot, bedengah.”
    –But when Yang Dikasihi summon them all under PBB all of them full of love and passion (for BN lah!).

    “In 1994-1997 I criss-crossed Sarawak meeting many Dayak leaders for projects. Investors were willing to place substantial investments. Instead they were more concerned about other things. When projects fell to Malays and Chinese, we point fingers and called them cheats and robbers. When UBG started, there were a few Ibans given participation in other banks – no need to mention names, but you can guess who. What did they do to their holding? A few Ibans (that I know) had their chances but failed to develop them.”

    –Mostly planted by cronies without true competence and qualification. Out of 10 Dayak given proper license,permits,dopes like that only 1 Dayak really last to their business. Again, easy money AliBaba mentality spending wastefully on girls, drinking by far No.1 enemy in Dayak business.

    “In the late 70’s when I wanted to continue my studies, I cried (literally) looking for money and saw those rich timber-Dayak’s children being send to London, Australia, NZ and USA.

    Now, lets play realpolitik.

    The odd has to be improved. So you will need the support from among 44 of 71 ADUN.
    What is the probability of 27 non-Chinese/Malay ADUN will agree among themselves AND what is the probability of any of the 44 will join in ?
    Answer: Infinitely small.”

    –Back to drawing board then. Dayak YBs all under divide-and-rule (and soon destroyed) by Yang Dikasihi spreading all over from PBB-SUPP-PRS-SPDP. Therefore Pakatan Sarawak must deal accordingly along this lines. By virtue of simple majority (36 ADUNs) alone TYT can pick the new CM.

    For Pakatan to get 36 YBs really a big hurdle but there’s some weak spot: SUPP. And Pakatan must compromise and let PKR or SNAP to DAP in getting SUPP seats more from those SUPP Dayak YBs (but with sizeable Chinese voters).

    It is no-brainer if any DUN seat with 30 percent Chinese voters and split among non-Chinese voters (like Malay or Dayak) voters, DAP got it. For Sarawak Pakatan in next state election, compromise must be given to DAP to field Dayak DAP candidates. Yes, DAYAK DAP.

    Likewise for Dayak-based party but with Chinese YBs (spoofed by BN logo and make the Chinese voters there to split among BN and DAP) in some PRS and SPDP seats. The same trick applies but this time its Dayak DAP vs Chinese YB (but under Dayak party). Here, DAP must capitalise on sizeable Chinese voters which previously have no choice been overtaken by Dayak voters. When Dayak DAP comes in, it is targeted for both Chinese voters and Dayak voters (being split on BN or DAP).

    Pakatan Sarawak must pound up for these weak spots. That would add some 5-6 seats more to DAP ADUNs which include Dayak YBs. Now that is already nearly 12-15 Pakatan seats. But Rome was not built on 1 state election. After the state election and Pakatan can make some dent on BN, next round is for PKR and SNAP to go all out battling the remaining PBB-SPDP-PRS fortress to add another 20 seats.

    Sounds ambitious and tricky? It is all BN own tactics(splitting Dayak and Chinese voters, putting Dayak YB in Chinese party vice versa) but being re-deployed by Pakatan again. The aim is 36 seats for Pakatan. Unless Yang Dikasihi and EC trying to move the goal-post, creating new DUN seat with majority MalayMelanau voters or moving around new ‘delineation’ ploys, it’s a whole new unlevel field. Still, Rome was not built on 1 state election.

    –Yes indeed there are plenty of wealthy Dayaks, but under 2 category:
    1) Wealth from their own rags-to-riches (very very RARE)
    2) Wealth from past inheritance/past cronism (no introduction)

    ++

    Tuai, reading your thesis, I think there is a split in your category no 1). The rags to riches basically followed 2 paths, i) via business and ii) via salaries/fees. I am not sure about you but I am yet to see Dayak millionaire businessman who started from rags to riches. Almost all Dayak millionaire businessmen are served with silver platters i.e either they are given timber concessions, mining licences, direct nego JV or appointed to the already successful enterprises. Rag to riches to me would be a person who starts off from ground say Classs F Company and grows all the way to multi function conglomerates like Naim Bhd, etc. but where got like that one?

    The 1-ii) category of Dayaks become millionaires via investment, fees/salaries. I know at least 10 names – except that they are basically unknown and of low profile. They earn their money through own sweats and not through favours – so please don’t ask them to donate to a political parties! However, please be sure that this group of Dayak millionaires are faithful to their race and want to see the best for the community. They are also mostly intellectuals (otherwise how to succeed from rags?) And if consulted they would be willing to support Dayak causes but they won’t splash their money anyhow, as it is not easy to earn. I believe these types of Dayaks are NOT heavily involved in politics although they may mix around with politicians.

    If financial independent suit you fine, then this category 1–ii) Dayaks should be our role models.

First all I would like to congratulate Datuk Idris Jala for his appointment as one of the minister. Sarawak dayak’s should be proud that the prime minister has trust and confidence in the capability of our most sucessful cooperate figure Datuk Idris jala. Based on track record of handling MAS management we can see that he is one of the respectful CEO’s in the industry worldwide.There you are does dayak’s is capable to be Cm. But, one thing i was really fed up that is our Dr james has question which party datuk Idris jala represent. for me let him to be neutral, what do all you think. thank you
