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

Effective Parenting: Teach your child to have excellent manners
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
Politeness – as a social skill
It sometimes seems as though the good old days of children saying “Yes, ma’am” and “Yes, sir,” are gone, and perhaps they are. It is apparent that the words “please” and “thank you” have also experienced a marked decline in usage among the younger set. How can you teach your child to have these valuable social skills that will serve him throughout life?
Model the behaviour that you want to see in children
The first thing that any parent should do is model the behavior that you want to see. Telling the child what to say is not enough. The child needs to hear you say it.
For example, when you are in a shop, and say, “Excuse me sir, can you please help me find the shirt?” your child is hearing an example of how he should speak as well.
You should display your own manners consistently; because if you do not, your child will notice and may very well mention it to you. Just as language is learned naturally, so are manners. It is an unfortunate reality that if your child does not display good manners it will reflect back on you. Read more

Report From Batang Ai
Source Jetty -Broken Shield
1. Entulu calls on Bawin to join PRS
Deputy president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) Joseph Entulu Belaun yesterday called on Nicholas Bawin, Director of Operations of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) for the Batang Ai by-election to join PRS. “I believe that Bawin is only wasting his time by associating himself with PKR, so it will be good if he can use his potential and join PRS to develop Batang Ai,” said Entulu who is also deputy minister of rural and regional development.
Isn’t this irony? Only now that Entulu knows Bawin has the potential to help develop Batang Ai, when he is with PKR. Such a gesture should have been offered to Bawin when he was jobless and partyless (he was a SNAP man and later joined SPDP) after he was asked to resign on 28 February 2004 as deputy president of Majlis Adat istiadat Sarawak.

An interview with Nanang, a voter in Batang Ai.
Field Report compiled by Dr. John Brian Anthony
3 corners fight
Interviewer: Do you know who is standing in this by-election?
Nanang: People talked everywhere, I heard Mussen is BN and my MP Jawah Gerang is contesting under PKR and Johnny Chuat will represent the Lamanak will fight in Batang Ai. Nothing new to me, every election, VIPs will come, talk to us, make promises and then, go away. The next time I see the VIPs, is when there is election. No election, I don’t see them.
When they come they talk about many things – unity, development, projects but still I do not see changes on the ground. It is really time wasting to prepare for this VIP visit. What do we get out of it, nothing I tell you. This people really talk about everything but to us there is nothing. Wasting time. Read more

Land Titles for Batang Ai Resettlement
Posted by Blog CkChew: Stand Up, Be Counted
Issue Immediate Land Titles
PKR today called on the Sarawak state government to immediately issue land titles to 400 households from 20 longhouses that were resettled as a result of the construction of the Batang Ai hydro-electric dam in 1982.
Each family was given some 10 acres of land when they were resettled, said Nicholas Bawin, chairperson of the PKR division in Lubok Antu in a statement.
BN Government Promises
Bawin said before they were relocated, the people were promised, among others, titles to their land, extra land to plant padi and other staples, three acres for rubber and one ‘dusun’ (orchard) lot. Read more

Philosophy regarding guidance and discipline for young children
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
The philosophy of disciplining and guiding children is to teach and to have the child learn to live in accordance with reasonable rules.
What does it means to discipline young children?
To discipline means to teach.
To be well disciplined is to have learned to live in accordance with the reasonable rules and regulations society has set up for the behavior of its members. Unless the child learns from each disciplinary situation how better to govern his conduct, effective discipline has not been developed.
Discipline results in learning
Parents must accept for themselves the idea that successful discipline results in learning. When they approach situations in which a child must adapt themselves to demands made upon them as learning situations, many problems usually thought of in connection with discipline disappear. Read more

Effective Parenting: Raising Children with Respect
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
Raising Children with respect
Adults often forget that children need to be treated with the same respect that is shown to other adults. Effective parenting offers this respect.
Try to remember
When a trip down memory lane is taken, adults often remember feelings that were rampant as our childhood and teen years were passing. It was not only important for adults to pay attention to us, but how we longed for those same adults to respect our feelings!
How many times did we say the words “you just don’t understand me!” or “you think all teenagers are alike!” or even “when I have children, I will listen to them!”
It is not difficult to do
Treating children and teens with respect isn’t a difficult thing to do. Keep in mind that
it doesn’t meant spoiling them or agreeing with every idea they happen to have. They will most likely be delighted to hear why you don’t agree with something they say instead of just hearing that it’s not a good idea and nothing more. Read more

Effective Parenting – Teach your children RESPONSIBILTY (1)
Posted by: Dr.John Brian Anthony
Needs for teaching responsibility
Giving your children household chores is a great way to teach them responsibility. Also, they will learn basic skills for their future, when they are running a household of their own. If children are not given responsibilities around the home, they will never learn to rely on themselves. When they get out into the real world, they will live with a sink full of dirty dishes and a bedroom floor decorated with dirty laundry.
How do you do it
You should make a checklist of duties for your children, rather than just making a verbal agreement. This way, there is no confusion about what they were supposed to do (kids will often try to get out of chores unless they are clearly defined). Read more

Parenting – Teaching kids about money
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
Have you ever noticed how some kids hoard their money, and others never have a cent? Why is it that one child will diligently save up for a toy that they want, while another will fritter away their allowance and wonder where it all went? Of course we all know adults are like this as well – but how can you influence your child’s money management habits early, helping them to become responsible money managers at an early age?
Different theories about money and kids
There are several different theories about money and kids.
-Some adults give their kids an allowance each week, and let them just spend it as they want. “They’ll learn…” the parents say. The kids will learn – at least they’ll learn to spend their money! But without guidance, they may never learn to spend it responsibly, and to balance short term with long term goals. Read more

How to handle unruly children
Posted by Dr. John Brian Anthony
Here is how you can take charge and regain control of your unruly children.
For some people regarding discipline and their children, it feels like they just wake up one day and things are out of control, but that is usually not the case. There is a process involved that leads us to that point, and we get there much more quickly than we care to admit.
Children Test Us Parents!
Our children live to test us. They began doing so almost at birth: ‘if I cry long enough will I get what I want’, ‘if I say “pleeeeease” just a few dozen more times will they break?’. It is our job as parents to be consistent. Each and every time we cave, we lose just a little bit more of our status as the one in the position of authority. Read more

Teach your child to read aloud
Posted by Dr. John Brian Anthony
Teach your child to read aloud. This article discussed about the importance of reading aloud to your child during early years and up. In my parenting talks I often stressed that reading should be a natural habit as it broaden the child information based and drawing learning from the experience of others through his/her reading.
Read to your baby
So many times new parents hear people say, “Your baby does not know what you are saying, why bother reading to them as such a young age? It is such a waste of time.” The answer is simple. Though your child does not understand the contents of the book you are reading to them, this does not mean they are not learning. It is quite the contrary. They are learning how to pay attention, as well as different voice tones. Babies also love the sound of their parent’s voice, be it reading a book or carrying on conversations. If you take advantage of this early on, it will become part of your baby’s routine they will love right along with taking a bath every night or singing lullabies. Read more

Help your kids get their homework done
Posted by Dr. John Brian Anthony
Setting limits and teaching responsibility are great assets when working with your children to do their homework. This article will show how to help them get their homework done.
Children need to know that their parents and adults close to them think homework is important. If they know their parents care, children have a good reason to complete assignments and turn them in on time. There are several things you can do to help your children make homework a priority, without doing their homework for them.
Set a Good Example.
Children are more likely to study if they see you reading, writing, and doing things that require thought and effort on your part. Talk with your child about what you’re reading and writing even if it’s something as simple as making the grocery list. Tell them about what you do at work. Encourage activities that support learning–for example, educational games, library visits, walks in the neighborhood, trips to the zoo or museums, and chores that teach a sense of responsibility.
