You must have been DREAMING instead of thinking. What has QE 2 got to do with Dayak Baru ?Instead you could have suggested that JBA meets The UN Sec.General for human right abuses against the Dayaks?

The best would have been to keep the thought to yourself…ha…ha…Please do not blunder.

No Malaysian has think that Malaysia have 3 Nations; Malaya, Sarawak and Sabah. No Sarawakian has dream that Sarawak shall have their own Nation, their own law, their own PM, their own army and so on, untill the book of 18/20 points is opened. Almost 50 years we live in Malaysia and everyone always think that Malaysia has 13 states not consist of 3 Nations.

Now, why the “Change We Must” come to the extend that the native of Sabah/Sarawak began to open 18/20 points, highlighted the 3 Nation, stand to challenge the formation of Malaysia that we signed 38 years ago.

I think Melanau/UMNO Dynasty can answer this question very well especially Taib and Mohathir.

From the situation being neglected, marginize and descriminated badly so long, the native of Sabah and Sarawak will cry for the better life, better opportunity, better justice, better freedom and better respect to their identity as a native.

The Dayak leaders in gomen have been kidnapped, now they are not more than a leader begging for food from Taib and protect Taib power by killing their own people in order to keep Taib give them food.

Recently, the new Taib cabinet line up has been discussed in this blog. It is not a cabinet to solve the Dayak problem rather it is a cabinet to protect Taib power and his business teams.

This cry, I expected, will be louder and louder and something new that both Dayak and gomen need to be considered. The hard life that the Dayak experiences in daily bases that we have been discussed so much in this blog will inspire every single Dayak to be counted.

The political stand to pursue more atonomy from Malaya is something Dayak need to study carefully before it comes to consideration. The new Dayak generation associated with other native in Sabah and Kalimantan need to be counted before make up with international body.

Melanau/UMNO has been prepared themselves very well to face this stand. Free weapon have been given to certain Muslim. Dayak Senapang Patah slowly being taken by gomen. Any association look like military under Dayak banner has been demolished and banned. Bourder Scout, Iban Tracker and Police Force have been gone. Rumah Dayak are ignored of it rebuilding thro Sarawak. Only leave is the slogan of “Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban”.

For me, we do not need harsh action rather we shall consider a soft and firm solution. In this situation, I eager both Dayak, pro and contra gomen shall seat down quickly to discuss a solf and firm solution toward Dayak problem. Bring our suggestion to the PM office and any solution shall follow up with urgent implementation, strong coordination and firm action. This is including setting up Dayak Task force, atonomy negotiation, more role of Dayak in Nation Building, Special Plan to upgrade Dayak Standard of living and the rest. From the discussion with PM later, I am sure we will meet our disatisfication and satisfication.

Is there any great dissatification in PM office, from there we can call upon all Dayak to be counted for the harsh action.

ARBS – Parti Agenda Rakyat Bumiputera Sarawak formed by sponsors of UMNO in Sarawak. Its protem Chairman admitted that there were quarters in Sarawak who opposed the formation of the new party, and even there is a perception that the existence of ARBS will be an ” excess baggage ” to BN.

Sure, PR is still the best option for Dayakbaru.

Penemu aku tu muntang bendar bala kaban. Enti nadai puku, retinya duit meh, anang kiruh ka ngaga party baru. Meliur bubur bejako nadai meh orang ka datai mending enti nadai duit kena melanja orang makai ngirup. Sema ka baka kereta, enti nadai minyak ni iya ulih bejalai ngapa deh.

Enti puku udah cukup tau meh kita ngetan bubu pisit bubu jarang, awak ka semua ikan masuk magang. Tang anang ngetan bubu pesok enggai ka enda pulai cengkeram. Anang ngiruh diri betemu enggau Kuin nya kita, ngerua umpan aja. Enda pia iya bakih.

Anang bejako aja kitai ditu, enti bisi penemu manah kena ngangkat bangsa dayak, kerja aja baru bisi asil. Jako maioh pan nadai guna (mulut nyebut patung enda nyaut), nadai ulih mansut ka asil. Enti ka ngaga party baru, giga orang dayak ka betul-betul “berjiwa rakyat” baru ulih mai pemansang.

ARBS ? Thats a new one for me. If its the proposed East Malaysia Party, the acronym need some serious facelift. Seriously though, a modern and progressive Sabah and Sarawak combo political party can work. At least, its a fresh thinking – to leverage like-minded people from both states. And may be the best alternative to forming yet another Dayak political party (if ever there was one).Staying put with PR is an option, but only if PR is interested in Sabah and Sarawak.BN,is probably already too successful to care for anything other than its own bizpolitics,and it has serious ground for genuinely feeling its lordship over Sabah and Sarawak has been encrusted for eternity – in the monumental structures of the new Council Negri, PELITA and the damned dams

Amaran utk ..YB2 Dayak dlm PBB cuba sedar dari tidur,,ingat bangsa DAYAK kerana u semua saja yang dpt mengubah nasib bangsa dayak.
Jd keluarlah dari PBB..
God bless All Dayak & Dayak Baru Club.
TQ

It is not that easy to form a new political party as we could imagine. The history speaks for itself.

Whereas the Federal Constitution tells us the right of all citizens to form associations, ROS may set a condition whether to approve of any new political party or not. On the other hand, the Executive may advice ROS to make a negative decision on ` security reasons ` if the new political party poses a threat to BN. It is because ` security reasons ` cannot be questioned in Court.

A good example was when Parti Sosial Malaysia (PSM) lost its appeal to go national. The High Court Judge Datuk Abdul Hamid Said, in dismissing PSM`s application maintained that national security was the responsibility of the Executive and did not rest with the Court. The Home Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Bedawi in his affidavit gave two reasons why PSM`s application was rejected, because the party was a threat to national security. MDC`s application for a registration was also rejected on the same grounds.

We have been talking of forming a new Dayak-based political party to accommodate those who are still party-less in order to participate in the development of the State and country through a political vehicle that they can associate and identify with and at the same time to establish to realize a Dayak identity and to advance allegedly Dayak interest and aspirations.

Recently, when talks were rife that a group and individuals to form new political parties in the state, some politicians especially from BN reacted negatively indicating that there were objecting and worrying. Of course, we feel that our basic human rights should not be denied including freedom of association, but ROS has its own views saying ” ROS are seeking advice from all quarters including the Home Minister.”

So, do we expect that ROS is not biased in its decision to register any political party? Anyway, good luck to ARBS, PRM and PBDS Baru.

i don’t think the queen of england will entertain any request doc. john. they don’t want to mingled with our internal problem after so many years we have independent. in end it will be a waste of monies, resources and an effort.

just look at the fate of HINDRAF, who do Saint Goerge has to offer?

my good advice is,it is better for you and the groups to talk to the Most Powerful man on Earth
mr. Barrack Obama at the white house. he is a reasonable man.

no harm in trying and with the good Lord helps i m sure a positive outcome will emerge.

First,
——
the principle that whatever Dayak demand from the political system, clearly it has to be articulated and frame in such a way that it is good for the country, or even the region – as a whole. No matter how deserving the demand maybe, we won’t get it unless others are willing to grant it. We are either too small at the national level, or too fragmented at the state level.

Second
——-

Sarawak is way behind Malaya, and as a people, Dayak is probably way behind – even the Orang Asli in Peninsula. For that reason, if we demand -make it big, and meaningful. And one that would be a quantum leap, not incremental change. It must be the difference between light and day, between staying the present course, or to make the correction.

Third,
——-

Real change – is not only about the next General Election, or the one after that. The more significant the change/demand, the more difficult it would be, and the longer it would take to implement it.The key is to crystallize the change/demand into a formal position, just as Dr Jeffery had tried it with the Tambunan Declaration, and then to go on the road with signature campaign.Then keep prodding.

Fourth,
——-

It looks impossible to get Dayak to unite under one big tent of a political party. I’m convinced Dayaks in SNAP, SPDP, PBB, PRS, SUPP, DAP, PKR, PAS – will never get together as a bloc.
Will PBDS revival do the trick – for political unification ? All considered, not likely. PBDS supporters and politicians – have sinced buried PBDS the warrior – and probably has completed the nyungkup and gawai antu ceremony, for him. So, any change/demand, that would make significant difference to Dayak, ironically – may have to be pushed/pedaled outside of the Dayak community. I won’t be surprised if many Dayaks in the ruling BN parties would even oppose any move to push for Dayak NCR land to be issued title, even as we think how self-defeating that stance can be !

Fifth
——

This address the HOW – somewhat. I won’t discount pushing the change agenda through BN, but their decision making would be more resistant to change – too many vested interest. While it may be true that PKR,DAP,PAS – are themselves made up of seasoned politician, their coming together is a thriumph of political reform.It is a strong mandate by many Peninsula voters who wants big change in government. Therefore, it is this wave of change, that Sarawakian may want to ride on, to push for their own change agenda.Just the simple phrase Ketuanan Rakyat, has important conotation for many YBs who would be expected to be treated like royalty, and beyond reproach.The challenge it seems, PR may not have enough $resource, to even begin spreading the gospel of Ketuanan Rakyat.Or more likely, they would prefer to fight for the remaining Parlimentary seats require for them to form the next government, in Peninsula – than in Sabah and Sarawak.

In conclusion: barring any major policy shift on the part of BN coming into the next General Election, on the kind of significant change that would benefit the whole country (not only Dayak and Sarawakian), I would put my bet in PR – to take up the change/demand that we have spoken of in this blog. Should PR exclude the change/demand into their manifesto – it will not be the end of it: the change/demand can still be pursued through NGOs and other institutions in the Malaysian civil society.It is a given that BN will not want to make any change,if there is no change in support, and PR will not be fishing for Dayak or Sarawakian support if it is not in its best interest – at this time. Both Anwar and Najib is not Dayak’s best friend or the long lost Aki-Ini: and for that matter, make no illusion – neither should anyone think that Taib, Jabu, Masing, Mawan – would put Dayak interest, above theirs.But I certainly would work with anyone, including those guys, if they can agree to begin thinking of ways to uplift rural Dayak from the ravage of poverty and to earn, no less than RM 2K per month (just like the FELDA settlers) per pintu.Thats the minimum to counter the social upheaval that will likely to occur post oil-economy in 30 years.And I should add: this will not only be good for Dayak, but for all Malaysians – surely. Doable – with a little government help and serious thinking.

I can see you and your readers are losing steam or rather faith in your dreams. Dreams are good especially the dreams are meant for change, to a better world, nation or state. But dreams too can turn into night-mares. Be on guard. Make your choice wisely.

It is your choice that decides the change. Make your choice first, after a review of the situation, and proceed from there and decide your courses of action. Dr. John, take this advice as a reminder for when you are in a tight spot, you may lose your balance and would not think straight. Take your time too.

Good luck.
