Sensitive article: Is Taib testing the water

Taken from: The Malaysian Chronicle

‘Sensitive’ article: Taib’s daughter livid, editor suspended

Dayakbaru:

We all know that the newspapers in Sarawak are controlled by Taib and family. That is the reason why the government hated the “alternative media” like the blog so much. But the government is also happy that internet penetration into Sarawak is very small so less people will read the truth provided by blogs.

For Dayakbaru, am I asking too much if I suggest that we must get the article in the various blog to the rural areas. You can do what you want as long as the message reach the rural voters.be  The You Tube version can be down loaded into CD and as many areas still do not have TV reception coverage, the CD will be widely viewed when made available.

Change WE Must and we can our future. We cannot be standing by as spectators if we want to improve our State and community. Do you want to stop government robbers? Do you want to stop the illegal outflow of our state money? Do you want to see greater development? Do you want to see a rich sarawak? Do you want to see an honest government?

If the answer is yes, then play your part. The radio and news papers are under Taib government control. All they do is to spread propaganda and lies.

Awasi kumpulan Burak Sam


L 2 R: Dick Bala, pengulu Herbert Lawai Epoi serta semua angkat biji..

MIRI — Golongan belia Baram diingatkan agar tidak terpengaruh dengan kumpulan Burak Sam atau Tuak Masam yang bertindak memburukkan kerajaan khususnya konstituensi Telang Usan melalui internet.
Apahal? Berasa salah ka? Guilty conscience.

Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Telang Usan, Lihan Jok berkata, golongan tuak masam ini hanya menyekat usaha kerajaan untuk membawa lebih banyak pembangunan di kawasan Baram.
Pembangunan apa? MRP Rm 5,000 – 10,000, tangki sungai, zinc, jln simen depan rumah panjang, itu namanya pembngunan ka? Walhal di bandar peruntukan berjuta juta. Hanya isi poket masing2 sendiri

Menurut Lihan, masa depan Baram bergantung sepenuhnya dengan kesungguhan generasi baru untuk bekerjasama dengan kerajaan bukannya golongan yang hanya riuh mengutuk kerajaan.
Kerjasama dengan BN supaya dia boleh terus merampas tanah NCR, banjirkan kita punya tanah dengan empanagan & kita akan jadi ‘pengemis’ pada BN? Read more

Dayak Rebak Baru: What does NEM or NEP mean to them

Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony

Dayakbaru:

NEM not to remove NEP

Many people read such news in the newspaper and but could not understand what it means. I will share my view on the matter and what it means to the Dayak of Sabah and Sarawak.

Government intention

There is very little difference between NEM and NEP. NEP is designed to improve the whole lot of “bumiputera”. Has it been successful. It has been successful among the political elite and especially UMNO putra of the highest order.

Has NEP benefited the Dayak in general? Most Dayak do not even know that NEP exist because the system sucks in all the opportunities as in Sarawak. The top political leaders take the opportunities or give it to their cronies leaving nothing to the people.

What is the evidence? Just look at the level of business participation by the Dayak – is it high or on the very low side. To me, Dayak in business is negligible. If you try to compute Dayak economic equity it would not touch even half a percent of the national equity.

Why does this failure happen?

The government do not know how to implement the NEP. The Government used the usual delivery system that is fraud with corruption, self interest and a control by those in political power. Ordinary Dayak has literally no chance at all. Capital fir business is difficult to get and government support is at very basic level. Basically, the business opportunity is taken away from the people by the government leaders. Can you understand that!

Then implementation requires delivery system that must be equip with human resources. Just look at the resources that is serving the delivery system. It is formed by one-race only. This race keep back the info from Dayak. If they really need Dayak representation in certain initiative it will be window dressing only. Read more

The Passive Dayak

Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony

Voters Registration

There are still many young voters who are not registered as voters. In a democratic country the duty to vote is a basic requirement. Have you registered as voters to allow you to determine what future  you want of your own country.

An urgent sense of duty

If you are talking about the future of malaysia, the progress of your community and the well being of your family and yourself included then you must register as a voter.

We understand that the turn out of rural voteot uprs is always low in every election. Why? many has passed away and the voters list is not updated. Most of the time, rural population migrate to urban areas and do not feel the need to come to vote during election. In most cases, many simply do not register as voters.

Do you want to see political change among Dayak?

If the answer is YES, the we must address the basic needs of registering voters. The most unfortunate cases are educated urban Dayak who do not see that it is important for them to be registered as voter. This is a part of the behaviour of passive Dayak. Dayak who cannot see beyond themselves that they have responsibility towards the country and community. We need to change that passive posture to active participant in the coming elections!

Racial Conflict in Malaysia is systemic

Taken from: The Malaysian Insider

Dayakbaru:

I studied in Malaya in 1972 and worked there for a few years. Then I came back to Sarawak. In 1994 I went back to Malaya till today. Did I see changes in the “racial” landscape. Of course, much has changed. Is it changing for the better – I think not. The younger population get to know lesser of each other and much lesser about other races in Malaysia.

Can we blame the young people for racialism?

Difficult. In many Malaysian schools, we have many single race teachers and single religion. We have even more school that is control by single-race teachers. In a way, racial problem is perpetuated through systemic approach that has now become systemic in our education system. Our education system deliver values among other things and racialism is one of the negative value we get from schools.

Narrow thinking

The School Principal “racist” remark hopefully is isolated. But then, you never know when a country get to be over obsessed with race and religion. Such extremism can cloud a person perspective of the world and the more they hold on to extremism, the narrower their thinking get. Read more

Taib must resign as Chief Minister on moral ground

Taken from: Free Malaysia Today

Dayakbaru:

Take responsibility

Taib Mahmud must resign on moral ground. How could he continues in his post after the exposure of his unaccounted wealth. Many in Sarawak are living under hardcore poverty category while he build his business empire and state of the art business building in develop countries.

Many current government leaders are just as corrupt and without a shred of conscience for allowing so many people  to live in poverty because the leaders have rob them of their land and natural resources. The elected leaders fail in their duty to give a higher standard of living and an improved quality of live.

Our Government leaders has lost the humanity part of themselves

Leaders must have basic moral standing and a strong sense of responsibility and justice. Our Government leaders has lost the humanity part of themselves in their blind pursuit of personal wealth.

To the people of very Sarawak, I would appeal to all to reject all corrupt government leaders in the coming election. We must protect our land from thieves and robbers.

YB selling plantation land for quick money at Bukit Bangunan.

Written by: Bukit Tunggal

Dayakbaru:

This article is an example of how our Dayak YB make money out of ” Concept of land development”. Is this a corrupt practice? You decide.

Instead of helping the constituency to progress in a sustainable manner, some YBs are using their position to grab the land within their constituency and sell it in the open market for quick profit. They make use of their elected status to grab the land and sell for personal gain.

BN YB is abusing their power to grab and sell land

These YBs has no vision for the rakyat that voted for them to improve their life. These YBs have only their personal interest to look after and not that of the people. These same YB have no conscience or no feeling about the poverty that is found in their constituency. These same YBs spoke bad of those who pointed out the power abuse but themselves abuse the power to make money for themselves. Some of these YB are even promoted to Minister level.

If you need to know why a country like Sarawak that is so rich with natural resources and yet so many people are poor, it is because our current government and leaders are so corrupt.

We should make an official report to the MACC

Have you ever wonder whether MACC will be able to bring such YB to court for such corrupt practice. It really depend on the Attorney General office to decide what is the next step. Maybe, the AG would have to refer to a higher authority. Here again, if no action is allowed to be taken, we are selling our country to the dogs. And that is what the government is doing, selling this country to the hungry dogs.

Do you still want to elect such a government again?. I think better not as the government might even sell us  as slaves to other countries. Malaysia is famous for human trafficking as it is.

Bakun dam ready, but pledges to natives unfulfilled

Written by: Aidila Razak

The construction of the Bakun Hydroelectric Dam may soon be over, with impoundment said to take place soon.

azlanBut the woes of the indigenous community forced to leave their ancestral home to make way for the multi-billion ringgit dam more than a decade ago have yet to be resolved.

Reverse Development

Instead of the ‘development’ promised in 1998, said Kenyah lawyer Abun Sui Anyit, the 10,000-odd people have only experienced “reverse development” with living conditions continuing to slide.

“Nothing much has changed. When we lived in our original longhouses we had access to clinics and schools too. The difference is now we have gone ‘negative’ with so many bills to pay,” he said.

Between September 1998 and July 1999, about 10,000 Kayan, Kenyah, Lahahan, Ukit and Penan people were forced to uproot even though the project was halted the year before due to the Asian Financial Crisis.

Figures disclosed in Parliament showed that Ekran Sdn Bhd, directly awarded the project in 1994 six months before it produced an environmental assessment impact (EIA), was paid about RM1 billion as ‘compensation’ for the halt.

In 1996, the High Court ruled in favour of three members of the Bakun indigenous community who sued the federal and state government for not making the EIA available to them before approving it.

The appeal by the federal and Sarawak governments were, however, upheld by the Court of Appeal the following year. Read more

A ticking time bomb over poverty in Sarawak

Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony

In Sarawak, it seems that the government are not interested to correct this problem. Instead of uniting the people to work together, Taib has pursue a politics of divide in rule. how can you explain that the Dayak NGOs are purposely divided and split up by ethnics group by Taib. Why did the Government vote to “extinguish” the word Dayak in Sarawak if it really want to unite and progress  the people. why is the government putting those Sarawakian who stand for their personal rights over land as trouble makers. I have too many questions – but let us look at the position of the Government over the issue of poverty eradication.

Why are there still poor Sarawakians?

When I saw the above article it make interesting reading eventhough Dr. Jenriri try to be as objective as possible. He has given some programme that the government is trying or implementing in Sarawak  now. Why do we need to wait for 47 years to acknowledge that we have a serious problem of poverty in Sarawak? To me, the Sarawak Government has failed to deliver on their promises. Read more

To change SIBU name – showing no respect to natives

Taken from: Sarawak Inside

Dayakbaru

To the Dayak, Sibu name is actually MALING. Then it  turns to be  called  SIBAU, as “buah sibau, a rambutan family fruit. As the urban people could not pronounce the word properly then it turn to become Sibu.

The Chinese started to arrive in Sibu only about a hundred odd years ago. What is so great about their history except that the Sibu Chinese are so great now because of the SUPP connection and got timber business licence and plantation. But that does not give them the right to change SIbu name as they wish.

I guessed that SUPP would want a new name for Sibu because SIBU bring them bad luck in the last election. Can you guess what has SUPP proposed Sibu name is?

The more reason why we should not vote for SUPP.

Ketegangan antara kerajaan negeri Sarawak dengan Putra Jaya kerana BAKUN

Taken from: Malaysiakini

Masalah jauh daripada selesai

Ramai yang menarik nafas lega apabila diumumkan bahawa projek terbesar dan paling kontroversi di Malaysia – empangan Bakun – selepas pembinaan selama 16 tahun – akhirnya akan siap sepenuhnya Disember ini.

Bagaimanapun, masalah yang membelenggui empangan konkrit kedua terbesar di dunia itu masih jauh daripada selesai.

Sebaliknya, kemelut itu dilihat mencetuskan ketegangan antara kerajaan negeri Sarawak dan kerajaan persekutuan dalam rundingan tarif elektrik yang bakal dikenakan.

Sesetengah pihak pihak bimbang kerajaan negeri akan menggunakan kuasanya ke atas empangan itu bagi menuntut tarif yang lebih rendah.

Tetapi Sarawak Hidro Bhd milik kementerian kewangan – pemilik penuh empangan itu – mengetepikan spekulasi itu.

Jalan buntu

Menurut laporan media, rundingan pembelian tenaga elektrik antara Sarawak Hidro dan syarikat tenaga yang dimiliki kerajaan Sarawak Energy Berhad telah menemui jalan buntu. Read more

The CURSE of Bakun Dam

Kua Kia Soong

Dayakbaru:

BAKUN is a big waste of our money and cruel to the Dayak living in the area. Now, we have cost over run into the billions. There is no buyer of the electricity. The undersea cable is too expansive and not viable. The aluminum smelting plant is not taking the power, and if does how much can it takes.

Sarawak will be overwhelmed with too much power. We try to sell power to Kalimantan and Brunei – but at what cost. The Government took too big a risk that it has put its people to jeopardy. The Government move is reckless maybe there is too much “corrupt” practices that the government lose sight of objectivity.

Why did the Government allow the Dayak to suffer for something that is really not worth while except for those who pocketed so much of the project money.

MR300 million. Taib awarded the contract to his own company

Dayakbaru:

It is now an acceptable practice by BN to allow their YBs to award MRP works to themselves and family members. The increased in MRP only served to increase the “personal” income of the YBs. As you go around Sarawak, you will see many MRP project are half done or when completed is actually well below the quality standard requirement. Who do you think suffers?

YB benefited directly from MRP money as their business profit

It is the people who suffer from poor implementation of MRP. Who benefited most from the MRP – most of the time it is the YB or those who is link to him. They got the MRP  money but give bad works to the people. Can Thief Minister make comment on the matter? He never did. Why? Read more
