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

Islamic Unity is a fallacy
Taken from: Malaysia Today.
Dayakbaru:
When the “logic” and “reason” is wrong, it can bring chaos onto such a relatively peaceful nation. It is people with half baked knowledge, who live in closed up society and bring with them narrow minded views that are trying to enforce their views on other.
They forgot, the God Allah give us brain to think. Where are their brain for thinking in a manner such as narrated in the article below.
Religious Advisor to the Prime Minister
(Bernama) — Religious advisor to the prime minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Md Zin, said the issue on solidarity should be taken seriously by Muslims as it is demanded by Islam.
He said it was compulsory for Muslims, particularly the leaders, to unite the Malays in the country as it was feared that if factionalism was allowed to continue, it would not only affect national harmony, but the status of Islam itself.
“Solidarity is something that is compulsory while factionalism is not permitted,” he told Bernama when asked to comment on the issue of solidarity between Umno and PAS.
As such, he asked everyone to be tolerant in ensuring that solidarity between Umno and PAS could be realised by putting aside matters pertaining to party interests.
Abdullah also supported the move by the Mufti of Perak, Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria, who offered to be the mediator to both parties as the move was most appropriate for Muslim solidarity. Read more

What are the impact to us without the 18/20 point agreement
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
This is a superficial writing but enough to trigger your thinking about why are we in this situation today. Malaya was not honest with us and the most important thing we have current leaders who are willing to sell out Sarawak to UMNO Malay agenda. We are suffering today because our own kind is going against our interest and they got financial reward for doing so. What do you call this kind of people? There are sitting in leadership position and they make the rule to suit themselves – not the well being of Sarawak.
18/20 points is to safe guard Sabah Sarawak from being “taken advantage” of by Malaya/Singapore.
I am writing this article for the benefits of those who need to understand the mind of our founding fathers and how there would like to see Sarawak grow within Malaysia. The 18/20 points agreement is to ensure that the more advance Malaya and Singapore will not take advantage of Sabah Sarawak politically, socio-economic development, natural wealth and heritage and in a way to avoid the “symptom” of colonization by Malaya. After 47 years of the formation of Malaysia, we are in the position to make our judgment on whether Malaya has indeed taken advantage of Sabah and Sarawak.
By most account as written in this blog, many of us felt “marginalized” and are NOT treated as equal by UMNO/Malaya in more ways that we care to write in this blog. There is no need for me to go and list the instances as it is now common knowledge.

BN SUPPORT “RETURNEES” NGELECT HEROES
Written by gkm2020
Updated: 1/4/2010, 12:02 AM
Dear All and YBs of Malaysia/Sarawak,
I refer to this comment: Lt Col (Rtd) Robert Rizal Abdullah PGB on March 31st, 2010 7:14 am
DAYAK FORGOTTEN INSURGENCY HEROES
As rightly pointed out by many, and the soldiers are complaining about it too – why are the “returnees” given acres of land? Why are the protectors of the country who had fought them given nothing, in fact many are living in dejection and in poor conditions? Their application even for a housing lot was rejected! What an irony!
Come on Sarawak, surely you can do better to help your brave ex-Servicemen to live on par if not better than the “returnees” who had attempted to take over the country.

What is Gerrymandering – BN weapon to win Federal Government
Taken from Malaysia Today (Raja Petra Kamarudin)
Soon after the 8 March 2008 general election, Umno held a seminar atthe Holiday Villa in Subang. I invited a few non-Malay friends to join me in this seminar. Initially, they did not see any point in attending an Umno do. However, I managed to convince them to go so that they can get a good idea on what Umno is thinking. There were other seminars held in Petaling Jaya, Johor Bharu, and so on — some which I also attended with my non-Malay friends in tow and some which I sent
‘agents’.
Race Riot 1969
In the Holiday Villa seminar, amongst those who spoke were FahmiIbrahim, one-time political secretary to Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Harun Idris, and Mazlan Harun, Datuk Harun’s son. Datuk Harun is of course synonymous with May 13, the tragic race riots of 1969 that erupted two days after the 11 May 1969 general election. Read more

Shattered Hopes and Broken Dreams ( Part 1 – Sabah)
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
The content of this article was presented to the House of Lord in United Kingdom (London) on 9th March 2010 by Daniel John Jambun from Sabah. The other part would be from Sarawak as presented by Nicholas Bawin.
For Dayakbaru info, another memorandum would be submitted to the Malaysian Prime Minister as soon as an appointment can be obtained to focus on illegal immigrant issue an security issues in Sabah and NCR land development policies in Sarawak. Generally the slow socio-economics development of Sabah / Sarawak natives will be highlighted.
Dayakbaru will continue to go beyond politics and political personalities issues in order to draw attention to facts of daily life as a reflection of our hopes and dream by forming Malaysia.
There are many similarities between Sabah and Sarawak socio-economics and political problem. The root of this problem is the way the State – Federal relationship is being directed by Kuala Lumpur and their ignorance of the facts at the formation of Malaysia. It is not surprising therefore that Sabah / Sarawak felt that by forming Malaysia we changed our colonial master from Britain to Malaya. Is that our dream?
Are we Sabah / Sarawak experiencing freedom in determining what our future can be or are we force to bow and follow the agenda of Malaya through Federal Government priorities? Read more

Malaysia is made up of 3 countries as equal partner
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
There is no 13 States in Malaysia
There are 11 Federated Malay States in Malaya. Sabah and Sarawak are NOT in the same category of Malacca, Johore, Selangor etc. Sabah and Sabah are independent countries before forming Malaysia.
Who says that there was no agreement when Malaysia was formed? Do you really think that Sabah and Sarawak are so silly so as to form Malaysia without an agreement. Most people in Malaya ( i will not refer to Malaya as West Malaysia anymore from now on) were told lies in school and wrong facts of history to create the impression that Sabah and Sarawak are of the same status as the Malay State.

Malay dominance in the civil service should remain unchanged and unchallenged
Taken from The Malaysian Insider
** Dr Lim Teck Ghee is director, Center for Policy Initiatives, and Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam is former president, Transparency International Malaysia.
The article “Emphasis on raising standards” by Shagul (The Star, Jan 30) seems to be aimed at ensuring that the situation of Malay dominance in the civil service should remain unchanged and unchallenged.
Dayakbaru:
This clearly shows that the Malay in Malaya has no intention to bring multi-racial civil service. Is that we Sabah and sarawak people expected by joining Malaysia? The answer is NO. We know that we must never talk about being separated from Malaysia and be independent country of our own. With just an analysis by the Director General of the Civil Service, we should not be blame for thinking that we Sabah and Sarawak should consider leaving Malaysia all together. We formed Malaysia with a dream of equality and progress. Why are we made ” second class” citizen to Malay of Malaya. Read more

Malaysia – a democracy existing in name only
Taken from the Malaysian Insider (By Debra Chong)
Dayakbaru:
I am not surprise that Tengku Razaleigh called Malaysia a democracy in name only. Before reaching such a conclusion Tengku would have enough evidence to support his statement. Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (TRH) is a well known Malay intellectual and has participated in governing Malaysia and is still with the government. His statement should not be taken in a negative light but serve to remind us Malaysian of the truth today.
Oil producer are poor
Sabah, Sarawak, Trengganu, and Kelantan are poor despite being oil producers. The Federal government suck up so much money and wasted in in many failed projects. The money are lost through the government incompetencies in planning and executing projects and corrupted practices in awarding the contracts. Not enough allocation are given to infra-structure projects and much money are spent on “white elephants” and non productive government program eg 1 Malaysia today, the Monsoon Cup, . Read more

William Nyalau – Tuai Rumah MUST support BN
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
The Honourable YB William Nyalau brilliant thesis on Tuai Rumah.
About two weeks ago the handsome MP from Lubok Antu – William Nyalau said that Tuai Rumah are part of the government service – in fact TR are government servant according to his brilliant reasoning because TR are given a monthly allowance of $450.00. In fact, the State government contribute $50.00 and the Federal Government gave $400.00. With such reasoning the honourable Member of Parliament made it clear to all Tuai Rumah that they must support BN / government because they are beholden to their pay master – the government.
Is a Tuai Rumah a Government Servant?
The answer is NO! He does not enter into an employment contract with the Civil Service and is not bounded by the General Order. A Tuai Rumah also do not enjoy the benefits accorded to a government servant and the Tuai Rumah are not “graded” as required by every position in the civil service.
Of course the Honourable YB may has his argument – to me he is just adding more confusion to the responsibility of being a Tuai Rumah. It is the lowest possible category class of politicking. I do hope the DUN member for Batang Ai can educate the MP on the matter. Read more

Sabah 20 points / Sarawak 18 points agreement
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
For further information in regards to the related article, kindly refer to Wikipedia.
Dayakbaru:
The 20 point agreement / 18 point agreement is between made between TWO countries ( Malaya and Sabah / Malaya and Sarawak).
Such being the case, no changes can be made on the agreement without the consent of the other. In the case, they seemed to be effort by the Federal Government to put aside this agreement or even ignore this agreement as it gets their way of integrating Sabah and sarawak according to West malaysia UMNO point of views and political agenda.
Sabah and sarawak must NEVER give up on this agreement as it provides us with more autonomy. The founding fathers has the foresight to see the greed of West Malaysian and sadly for Sabah since UMNO has come in and rule Sabah it has lost most of its autonomy. sarawak should continue to fight to uphold the 18 points agreement. While working with PKR those leaders from sarawak MUST insist that Pakatan Rakyat respect and enforce the 18 point agreement when they do come into power. Read more

Four reasons for the “Allah” Court Decision
Taken from: The Malaysian Insider
By Debra Chong
The 4 reasons are:
It is illegal, unconstitutional, irrational and failed to satisfy that it was a threat to national security.
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 — High Court judge Datuk Lau Bee Lan’s controversial ‘Allah’ ruling that rocked the nation over who had rights to the term cited that the Home Minister and government’s actions had been illegal, unconstitutional, irrational and had failed to satisfy that it was a threat to national security.
Conflict between Federal Constitution and various state enactments
She also wrote about the apparent conflict in the matter between the Federal Constitution and the various state enactments apart from claims by Muslim groups that the matter cannot be taken to a civil court.
The judge released the written grounds of her Dec 31 judgment late on Friday while the increasingly acrimonious public debate over who has the right to use the word “Allah” continues to rage on.
The Malaysian Insider obtained a copy of her 57-page judgment where the judge lays out the reasons and the laws behind her oral pronouncement. Read more

BUP KUDUS – KDN: NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT 2003
The Bible in Iban, titled “Bup Kudus”. The Iban language bible is published by the Bible Society of Malaysia. The majority of the indigenous peoples (native) in Sarawak such as the Iban, Bidayuh , Orang Ulu and other ethnics are mostly Christians.
The “Bup Kudus” has been freely available in the country for 15 years. Ibans today comprise 33% of the population of Sarawak are the largest ethnic groups in the state. Majority of Ibans are Christians (Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist and SIB).
9th April 2003, local news media reported that the Holy Bible in the local Iban language and other Christian books are among 35 books that have been banned by Malaysia’s Home Affairs Ministry.
These books are: “Mengenal Tulisan Perjanjian Baru” (knowing the New Testament) by Archbishop Ignatius Suharyo of Semarang, Indonesia; “Sejarah Singkat Liturgi Barat” (a brief history of Western liturgy) by Theodor Klauser; “Surat-surat Paulus” (letters of Paul) by Lembaga Biblika Indonesia (Indonesian Bible foundation); and “Doa Santap” (prayer at meal) by a Catholic nun.
