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

We don’t need 1 Malaysia
Taken from: The Malaysian Today
I am utterly dismayed that Islam, such a Great Religion, is being constantly ridiculed, not only by Non Muslims, but even by our younger generation of Malays. We keep on saying that we will protect the Good name of Islam with our lives, but we fail to see that our radical approach has smeared the good name of our Religion. Nowadays, Muslim does not even try to hold a topic over religion with our Non Muslim counterparts. We really have no rational answers as to why our Religion is so hypocritically abused by some half baked Malays.
By Capt. Iskandar Dzulkarnain
Ban non- Muslims to enter Mosques and Suraus
Perkasa wants to have the Syariah laws amended to disallow Non Muslims to enter Mosques and Suraus. They also want the MCA president and the DAP assemblywoman to be placed under ISA for desecrating Islam. In fact they want every Tom, Dick and Harry to go in. The video on Surau AL Falah is an eye opener to the amount of desecration tolerated. Sack the Surau committee and place them all, including the rest of the participants under ISA. Another picture apparently doctored, should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Forbade Non- Muslim to even gaze at mosque and surau
They should place their members at the National Mosque and Shah Alam Mosque to turn away the tourists. Dont just talk, start the action now. Forbid non Muslims to gaze at the mosque, just like we forbade them to utter GOD’s name. And why stop there? Mosques and Suraus must be built with the sweat of Muslims and not with the sweat of foreign kafirs. At the same time put a 50 meter perimeter, around the mosques, so no non Muslims can get near the mosque. Anyone entering or leaving the mosque must show their identity cards to identify themselves as Muslims. Read more

Merdeka – What Merdeka?
Written by: Dr.John Brian Anthony
31st August – Merdeka Day
Since my early school days I have been taught that 31st is Malaysia’s Merdeka Day – Independence of Malaysia. Now a few years back I got to know that the Government has fed me with wrong information. While in primary school, how am I to know that what was taught to me is fact or false. The government should be more responsible with their facts so as not to mislead the people through false information.
I used to proudly display the Malaysian flag outside my house a few days before August 31st.Now, I am not doing that anymore. I even went out of my way to buy those small Malaysian flag for my car. Not any more now. Now I will wait for September 16th to mark the real day on the formation of Malaysia. That is when my country Malaysia got its independence.
Malaya was wrong to enforce their Independence Day on Malaysia. I am glad that we have finally solved this one lies with real fact. Read more

Abuse of power by Mahathir and Abdullah brought to court
Written by: Wong Choon Mei, (Malaysia Chronicle )
Dayakbaru;
Two former Prime Ministers will be brought to court to answer for power abuse case against them.
It will also mean that Taib Mahmud will not be able to escape court justice. Since making the report against Taib, MACC has not contacted any of the person who has made the report.
The value system of young Malaysian will ensure that they will be no escape from justice by any of the country’s leaders who breaks the country law. They might be able to delay justice but justice will eventually catch up with those people who do wrong in this country.
Change WE Must. Hold dearly to the value of justice and rules of law. Read more

Politics caused tension in Malaysia
Malaysia is not facing an external threat. Our military force need not flex its muscles or be put on red alert. Our neighbours do not pose a danger to us. But yet the menace is there: it is not coming from outside; it is originating from inside the borders. The peril we face today is the result of our own doing. The opposing armies are politicians of various badges. Throw in the religious bigots, racist madcaps, wacky supremacists and the pot is ready to boil over. Judging by all the strident noises made, the situation is getting out of control. It is reaching a pitch of hysteria as overt and covert intimidations are made.
Why fuel the fire – for political reason?
A partisan newspaper is adding more fuel to the fire and the government itself is creating a climate of fear with its repeated resurrection of the May 13 ghost. Even the schools have become breeding ground for intolerance and hatred. Some may think it is all posturing, especially with the next general election looming. Others may dismiss the clash of tempers and raw emotions as mere play-acting, which will end in goodwill and handshakes.
The incontrovertible fact is, the threat of civil strife is real and ever-present.

Floods in Sarawak
Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony
Hard Hit areas
(1) Sibu Braces for bigger floods.
38 evacuation centres in sibu, eight in Selangau identified and placed on standby. The rainfall is abnormal in August and it rains almost every night.
(2) Flood in Kapit, worst in six years.
Many schools and longhouses were submerged in one to eight feet of water.
Song and Katibas also suffers from frequent flood.
Worsening flood
I can see that flood can only get worst in each coming year. The authority is asking NGOs and government civil servant for help to manage the flood response plan.
It is also time for TIMBER and PLANTATION COMPANIES to come forward in a big way. Read more

Rural Agricultural Stations
Written by: Dr.John Brian Anthony
Government Neglect the Rural Agricultural Station for the last 10 years
I am sure the Government would not be bothered to study the impact of making the Rural Agricultural Station inactive for about 10 years. I remember the Sg. Sebiew Agriculture station in Bintulu (Km11) was a key player to generate skill and knowledgeable farmer. A lot of money was used to train farmers and introducing new farming programs and technique in the mid-90′s.
Suddenly, everything die down and the agricultural station was left to near rotting. It was an eye sore and demoralising to the farmers who has depended on the station as training centres.
Can Jabu answer that question first, why did the Government abandon the Rural Agricultural Station (RAS) in the first place?
My guess is the government was so excited by the large oil palm plantation and leaving the RAS to waste is one of the government strategy to ensure that the Sarawak farmers do not expand their farming land and therefore is not develop. If the land is not develop then the Government can rob it and sell it to foreign companies and even the YBs and their cronies. Afterall, Awang Tanah has said that land without land title is government land and the government is well known for taking NCR land and sell to plantation investors.
Secondly, is the government strategy of shutting down most of the RAS an effort to force Sarawak rural farmers to become plantation labourer earning RM$12 a day. Read more

Permit Tinting Tinjau
Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony
In response to request for verification of Permit for Tinting Tinjau please find the document below. This is done to clarify the accusation by certain Dayakbaru members who wanted to have proof of Tinting Tinjau Permit. The permit is as below.
Tinting Tinjau is held back based on business factors and decision. There are some BN Dayakbaru who are jealous of of non BN supporters capability and capacity to bring progress to Dayak. It will help these BN supporters to understand that those days of threatening and blackmailing Dayakbaru into submission is things of the past.
Now, everything is based on capability. I noted many have asked about BN supporters blog, please be reminded that BN supporters are mostly helpless people and can only survive through spoon feeding.
Posting with different opinion is acceptable. I know there are some posting that is”silly” but that is the way people are. Some people are brought up in such manner and we must accept them as they are.

We cannot trust UMNO and MACC
Taken from: Malaysia Today
By Pak Bui
Dayakbaru:
I wonder whether the Government (MACC) has better lawyer then Abdul Razak. Why do we have a lawyer like MACC Abdul Razak, are we employing a lawyer for his knowledge, skill and competency or are we employing a lawyer because he is a Malay, Muslim and an UMNO supporter.
When we employ a person not based on meritocracy we have MACC lawyer Abdul Razak. He not only make blunders but he do not seem to understand what he is doing. Do we need any more of this Government approach towards employing civil servant based on race, religion and political inclination?
Change WE Must. The government has failed to uphold meritocracy thereby resulting in Malaysia to make too many mistakes and losing good money due to government employee in competencies. Read more

How the Dayak leaders fail their community
Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony
In the beginning – the alpha
These Dayaks who are the leaders in PBB, SPDP, PRS, SUPP….they were once decent people. In them lies a pure heart to help the Dayak to progress and adapt to the modern world . There were once Dayak who had the well-being and welfare of other Dayak in their hearts as seen during the SNAP/PBDS time. They work hard, they fought even harder in order to be able to help the Dayak people who they held dearly close to their heart.
They wanted the Dayak to succeed in education, in business, in their chosen field, to prosper, to become sport champion, to be really united in culture and “adat” and most of all they wanted the Dayak to be able to stand with pride amongst the other races in Malaysia.
They started their life in politics with these thoughts. Read more

Teoh inquest: Dr Pornthip maintains death was not suicide
Taken from: Star Online
Dayakbaru:
I took this article to express support for fairness and justice. This is the latest posting at 3.51pm today. It is already known to us that MACC is a wishy washy organization only to serve to legitimize the “corruption” of political leaders, mostly BN.
When it comes to Opposition, MACC will waste no time to investigate and even make conclusion before the investigation is completed. But when it comes to UMNO politician, MACC not only get cold feet, it lost its interest to function as a government independent body.
In Sarawak, we are all interested to see whether MACC will investigate Taib Mahmud.
I think it is also time for Sarawak Report to track Jabu and George Chan wealth too. These are rich politicians and who refused to fade away. Indeed, they install their children into political position to continue their realm.
We young voters must fight to see that justice is not only seen to be done but that justice must be done in a proper manner. We cannot let our country go down the drain just because of the personal interest of individual leaders in politics.

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.

Will MACC’s Abu Kassim walk the talk over Taib’s billions
Taken from: Malaysia Today (By FMT Staff)
Dayakbaru:
MACC has a standard operating procedure that they must complete an investigation over a report within 6 months. MACC asked the Malaysian people to trust them, to give them the chance to produce result. Of course we knew that MACC has been given many chances and they have made a “fool” of themselves for allowing outsiders to tamper with their work.
Now, the very Sarawak people are looking towards MACC to investigate Taib. It is not about whether the task is easy or not as MACC has promised to investigate all reports. If nothing come out of the report on Taib’s wealth, we should not waste public money to pay the salaries of MACC staffs and also their assets. There are stillmany poor people that would benefit from the money that we are spending with MACC.
MACC roars at opposition and whimper and cry in fright of the Government. MACC do not let us Malaysian public look down upon your work, value system and principles. Stand up and just do what you are paid to do.
We are not hoping for MACC to investigate Taib, we demand that Taib must be investigated for taking away so much money from Sarawak through his position as Thief minister.

The Dayak fear for forming Malaysia is becoming a reality
Taken from: Malaysian Mirror
Dayakbaru:
The Government made so many changes (46 amendment to date and estimated up to 650 technical changes) to the Federal Constitution that it may affects the “spirit” of the formation of Malaysia only after 47 years. In the USA by comparison, they made 27 changes to their constitution in 230 years. All these changes were made possible because the government was able to secure a two-third majority in Parliament which is required to pass an amendment of any part in the constitution. That is the very reason why we voters must never give any government a two-third majority so that they would not be able to make any changes as and when they wanted to make the change.
Today, Malaya has colonised Sarawak. The civil service, development fund, decision making, etc are all made in Putra Jaya. A rich country has now a large population that are in the poverty level. Political rights are limited and opportunities in business are controlled by Malay politicians. The Dayak is now being marginalized by the government, to be made poor so that they have no choice but to continue to vote for a corrupt government. The government that is intent to change the agreement made when Sarawak help form Malaysia.
We can check this colonization process but first Change WE Must.
Haunted by Iban fear when forming Malaysia
FORMER Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister James Wong Kim Min, 88, is still haunted by the fears that the Ibans expressed in 1962/63 over the formation of Malaysia. They had their suspicions of the Malayans and worried that Britain, the departing colonial power, would let them down. Read more

Where is the EIA for Baram Dam – Baram folks want to know.
Taken from: Bintulu.Org
Dayakbaru:
Even the business of writing EIA is controlled by the BN. Most of the EIA is done by Chemsain that is link to a Deputy Chief Minister. That is how business is done in Sarawak. Everything is being passed around within the ruling party.
Baram natives demanded to know what is inside the EIA
Native communities directly affected the proposed Baram dams demanded to be given opportunity to review the various reports, documents pertaining the dams before any works can be started.
In a press release on Wednesday, Borneo Resources Institute (Brimas) said, Baram native communities and concerned citizens had sent a letter to the Controller of the Sarawak Natural Resources and Environmental Board (NREB) for copies of the various reports for review.
The letter which was signed by the representatives of the natives communities requested the authorities to give them opportunity and time to verify, study, comments, objects to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Social Environmental Impact Assessment and other related reports before the works on the proposed dam can start.
The letter said the natives objected to commencement of any works on the dam including construction of access roads and also the extinguishment of their native customary rights (NCR) lands pending scrutinization of all the reports. Read more
