The Government will not allow any motion from the Opposition

Written by Ari Ujan Belama (AUB)

This is AUB response to another article that reported “DUN motion on land issue- terminated by Speaker”

“This article is outstanding in that it helps us understand the how DUN works from the eyes of AUB. The implication of AUB confirmation that Dayak NCR land are recognized by government means Dayak with land that are being infringed on by Provisional lease should take matters to court immediately. Also, AUB argued that people who are successful do not need a government. How true is this statement? (Dr. John Brian Anthony)

Dayak NCR Land

Well the Dayak only have NCR land and it is being recognised by the State government and also by the Federal Court. If you don’t believe look at the case of Nyawai and other Vs Borneo Pulp and papers and the givernment of Sarawak.

Opposition do not have the numbers

Even if Wong motion is accepted by the Speaker, it will not become a bill because they don’t have the numbers. They are only FIVE of them, how can the bill be approved.

Wong, to be want to be a hero to the Chinese community. It was actually the Chinese communities that he is trying to fight for for all we know, it is the Chinese population that own most mixed zone land and also title land in Sarawak.

Dayak land is worthless!

What the Dayak owned probably the native area land which is only fit for agriculture and also the untitled NCR land.

Opposition motion is not allow – government will used any mean to kill it

My argument is simple, the government will not allow any motion from the opposition to be tabled in the august house. Never in the history of Malaysian Parliamentary democracy has Parliament or DUN allow motions by the opposition to be discussed.

Successful Dayak people do not need the government

Well, Dr. John may be right, but as a Dayak, who are diverse, and who are still in the backwaters of Sarawak, we still need the government.

Dr. John does not need them because he is already very successful, drives a E320 mercedes benz and owns a beautiful house in KL. While we are still poor.

Oct 20, 08 9:32am
‘I am sure that move will create a tremendous swing of support from all the non-Malays in the country. That move will definitely cast the opposition into irrelevance.'
(Sumber malaysiakini 20/10/2008)

What a big surprise in Malaysian Politic today. Everyone is free to voice, to make suggestions and even to threathen the present BN Government. Do they (MCA) realise such statements and demands hurt the feeling of other BN component parties. What about Sarawak and Sabah, who made a 100% winners during PRU 12,. Don't they deserved to be Deputy Prime Minister.
Come on MCA, don't be to greedy. I suggest you better win back all the lost seats during the last PRU-12 .
I should say Sarawak is suitable to be Deputy prime Minister. Any comments, please share !.

Many Dayak are still without Birth Certiicate

Many Dayak are still without Birth Certificate

Are you surprise?

Many Dayak both in the rural area and urban areas are without birth certificate. This feedback is gathered from certain department authorities in Sarawak. After 45 years of independence, why are many Dayak still without Birth Certificate?

I know many Ybs and community leaders has signed special form to comfirm that the applicants are really Dayak born and bred in Sarawak. Their only sin if you really want to call it a sin is their parent are so ignorant and mostly poor that they cannot meet the Department of National Registration to make a report on the birth of their child. The cost of transport going to town is very expansive and the parents are not able to make it to town to register their child’s birth to the relevant government office.

To be poor

What it means is the parent do not have the money to come down to town and register the birth of their child. The parents are also without document from Maternity Clinics and hospital as they cannot afford such luxury and there are many Dayak who still give birth in farm houses and long houses without any government services available to them.

Should the government punish such poor and ignorant people. I understand that ignorance of the law is no excuse for action not to be taken against them. This is where discretionary practices must be exercise by the responsible person. But what happen if the person in charge of the National Registration is a West malaysian Malay, maybe born with silver spoon or just another West Malaysian who has no perception of what is going on in rural Sarawak? The applicant will suffer because strict rules will be imposed upon them.

After 45 years of independence why is it that the government is not interested to solve this no birth certificate and identity card problems among Dayak. Maybe the Taib BN/UMNO led government fear that the Dayak numbers would increase substantially and that they will lead then Sarawak government sooner than later. Without identity card the Dayak voters would not grow in numbers.

This is a big danger for Dayak as the selected few will feast on their land and thus would restrict Dayak material progress in future.

Government Initiative

We heard the National Registration conduct rural exercise to allow for the rural poor folk to apply for their birth certificate. To my mind, such programe should be continuous and not ad hoc with restricted time. This birth certificate is very important to ensure that the child would live a full Malayisan citizen life and enjoy the individual rights in Malaysia.

Many cannot obtain international passport and even during tender age these children that are without a birth certificate is deprived of government assistance particularly in education.

Kumpulan Wang Amanah Untuk Pelajar Miskin (KWAMP)

Many Dayak teachers has expressed their disappointment with their elected representative to resolve the issue of Dayak student without birth certificate. Without this document the government KWAMP cannot give these student who are without birth certificate any assistance. These students are already poor and the arrogant approach of implementors are not helping the poor student at all in the needs for support to get their education.

A few teachers has touched this subject in their discussion and that they found that urban parent who are driving BMW and Volvo, Camry and Honda Accord are given help under KWAMP because their child has birth certificate and also they have submitted their income statement to the school.

How could a poor unemployed Dayak meet such “income statement” requirement before their application for assistance could be approved? Why are the Dayak problem being accelerated to a new level by such requirement and if they do not meet the requirement there will not receive government aid. This is all too much red tape and some government officers used this opportunity to suppress Dayak progress in education.

Welfare Assistance for the old folk

The same is happening to those poor old Dayak folks who are still not given assistance despite having ask for it repeated from the Welfare department? The government officers in-charge of these department need to be able to make a responsible judgment from their field experience and approve deserving application. Why does all this process and requirement for application for birth certificate and welfare assistance not made more open and customer friendly?

Conclusion

If you have one race as a majority in any government department, the tendencies for racialism, nepotism, unfairness and a distorted thought will caused biasness. This has greatly push the Dayak educational and welfare progress backward.

We Dayak must not accept these short-coming of the government without serious effort to correct the wrong. It seems that the Federal Government is not interested to solve this problem in sabah and Sarawak. We Dayak should push the BN government to address all these problems urgently and also send the message that BN under Taib Mahmud to be more responsible to the people need than lining his pocket with money.

For being without a Birth Certificate the child must not be punished by denying their right to receive assistance from KWAMP. If this punishment is carried out, more and more Dayak will not receive reasonable education. No education mean without many choices in life and may get in the way of the Dayak child personal ambitions. Then Dayak progress will be retarded.

malaysiakini-tahan khairy dibawah ISA

'Tahan Khairy di bawah ISA'

Beh Lih Yi | Oct 17, 08 9:26pm

Seorang perwakilan Pemuda MCA menggesa pihak berkuasa supaya menahan Naib Ketua Pemuda Umno, Khairy Jamaluddin di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) kerana membuat kenyataan yang berbaur perkauman. Beliau juga mahu ISA turut dikenakan ke atas pemimpin Umno Pulau Pinang, Datuk Ahmad Ismail yang mencetuskan kontroversi sewaktu pilihanraya kecil Permatang Pauh baru-baru kerana menganggap kaum Cina menumpang di Malaysia. Perwakilan dari Perak itu, Ting Tai Fong (kanan) membuat gesaan tersebut sewaktu perbahasan di perhimpunan Pemuda MCA di ibupejabat parti itu di ibunegara hari ini. Khairy adalah antara tetamu di majlis perasmiannya. Ting membidas Khairy, yang juga menantu perdana menteri, berhubung kenyataannya mengenai nisbah kuota biasiswa untuk bumiputera dan bukan bumiputera. Katanya, kenyataan itu bukan sahaja dibiarkan oleh kepimpinan Umno tetapi juga telah mendorong Ahmad untuk membuat kenyataan yang senada dengannya. Ting berkata, ISA tidak sepatutnya digunakan terhadap orang awam seperti yang telah dilakukan bulan lalu. "Jika kita mahu menggunakan ISA, gunakan ISA terhadap orang-orang ini terlebih dahulu [...] Saya juga percaya Khairy, pemimpin yang tidak bertanggungjawab ini akan kalah teruk dalam pemilihan Umno yang akan datang," katanya disambut tepukan gemuruh para perwakilan. Perwakilan dari Perak itu menegaskan bahawa kaum Cina bukan rakyat kelas dua atau hamba di negara ini. Ting turut membidas Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan menuduh beliau seorang pembohong kerana terus menerus mendakwa beliau mempunyai sokongan untuk menubuhkan kerajaan. (posted malaysiakini) komen: Jangan jadikan isu ISA untuk mempopularkan diri anda.

Will there be a State Level Gawai Dayak in 2009?

Posted by Dr. John Brian Anthony

No more State Level Gawai sponsored by Government

The last Gawai Dayak sponsored and organized by the State Government of Sarawak was 2008 Gawai at the State Stadium. The government took over the organisation of Gawai Dayak in mid 1980’s. Previously the three Dayak organization: SDNU, DBNA and OUNA took turn to Chair the State level Gawai Celebration. Now the State government has announced that they are not going to organise any more State level Gawai due to budget constraint. Does that mean the government expect that there is not going to be a State level Gawai in 2009?

Temenggong Kaum Penan Turut Menyangkal Kenyataan Media

Laporan berhubung masyarakat Penan yang dianiayai baru-baru ini dan disangkal oleh Ketua Menteri Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, turut dinafikan oleh Temenggong Penan Dato Sri Nyipa Bato. " Saya ( Dato Sri Nyipa) menyokong penuh kenyataan Ketua Menteri.
" Sesetengah pihak cuba menganggu dan mensabotaj keharmonian masyarakat berbilang kaum kita dan laporan media yang berulang serta tidak menyokong menandakan mereka tidak membantu mempertahankan kehormonian yang dicapai." katanya. Ujar beliau, dikawasannya sendiri yang kebanyakkannya kaum Penan, tiada sebarang aduan atau penganiayaan di laporan setakat ini. "Namun jika ada kes dan bila ia berlaku, perlu dilaporkan dalam saluran yang betul dan biarlah pihak berkuasa menjalankan tanggungjawab mereka dengan menyiasat menerusi keadilan," katanya. Kita tidak mahu memandang perkara ini remeh temeh dan perlu menanganinya dengan undang-undang, tambah beliau. "
( Utusan Borneo: 10/10/2008)

Renungan : Bolehkah kita terima kenyataan Temenggong Dato Sri Nyipa Bato ini bahawa kawasan dibawah seliaannya bebas dari sebarang aduan atau penganiayaan . Maafkan saya, adakah kejadian kes rogol ini bawah seliaan Temenggong. Baguslah kalau tiada .
Tetapi kenapa kes rogol ini mengambil masa yang lama baru didedahkan sehingga " Bruno Manser Foundation" mengembar-mengembur isu barulah semua orang menjadi kecoh .
Kita mesti ingat salah seorang dari mangsa itu telah melahirkan seorang anak, fikirlah betul 9 Bulan Mengandung , kenapa lama sangat kita bertindak. Pada masa yang sama kita tidak boleh menunding jari kepada sesesiapa yang salah atau betul.
Ini adalah satu pengajaran untuk kita semua.

Polis Siasat Perempuan Penan Di Rogol

Ketua Polis Negeri Sarawak, Datuk Mohd. Salleh berkata pihak polis telah mula membuat siasatan atas tragedi dua murid Penan yang di rogol oleh perkerja-perkerja balak mengibatkan wanita itu hamil dan juga telah melahirkan seorang anak. Kedua-dua murid penan adalah penuntut di sekolah menengah di Baram walaupun simangsa itu belum membuat laporan rasmi atau aduan kepada mana-mana Balai Polis berdekatan.
Ini adalah semua gara-gara menumpang kereta perkerja kayu balak dan malang juga tidak berbau.
Kisah mereka berdua ini di gempar-gempur oleh " NGO, Bruno Manser Foundation" dan laporan ini telah mengemparkan ahli politik, NGO dan kerajaan negeri.
Untuk mengetahui hal-hal dan peristiwa yang sebanarnya berlaku dan kita serahkan kes ini kepada Polis untuk membuat siasatan rapi dan terperinci.
Sikap menuding jari kepada sesiapa patut dihentikan. Cabar mencabar antara parti pembangkang , NGO dan kerajaan jangan dipanjangkan bahawa " nasi sudah menjadi bubur ".
Inilah masanya kita memberi bantuan kaunselling kepada simangsa rogol dan Kementerian Wanita & Keluarga juga dapat memainkan peranan seperti kebajikkan dan bantuan moral.

JANGAN PERMAIN ISU TANAH

Ketua Menteri Sarawak Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud memberi amaran kepada media untuk tidak sesekali mempermainkan isu kepentingan rakyat khasnya isu tanah yang dilabel sebagai taktik untuk mensabotaj kestabilan ekonomi dan politik negeri ini.
Menyelar laporan oleh akhbar dari luar (negeri ini) yang menggembar-gemburkan isu pengusiran penduduk kampung di Bekenu, Taib bertegas mahu ahkbar berkenaan memperbetulkan fakta mereka.
" Mereka (akhbar) kata kita usir 10,000 orang di Bekenu. Saya telah periksa di Land and Survey (Jabatan Tanah Dan Survei), mana ada sampai 10,000 orang !. Perbetulkan fakta. Pertama, bohong !. Kedua, tidak ada kubur yang di kacau. Malah tidak ada kubur langsung ! "
Beliau menghargai peranan dan laporan akhbar tetapi maklumat yang disampaikan perlulah berasas, mempunyai fakta kukuh dan tidak mensabotaj kepentingan rakyat dan ekonomi.
( Sumber Utusan Borneo 8/10/2008)

( Renungan: Kerajaan BN tidaklah sewenang-wenangnya mengusir penduduk secara besar-besar tanpa pelan-pelan disediakan seperti projek penempatan semula, pampasan yang berpatutan, notis perpindahan dan lain-lain yang boleh menguntungkan kedua-dua pihak.)

" Akta Wakaf " sedang dipertimbangkan

Di semenanjung, Menteri Kabinet mencadangkan Akta Hubungan Kaum, tetapi lain pula di Bumi kenyalang iaitu Akta wakaf yang sedang dipertimbangkan.
Tujuan Akta Wakaf yang dicadangkan bakal memberi ruang kepada usahawan Muslim memperluaskan semangat keusahawanan dan kegiatan ekonomi masa depan dengan membangunkan harta wakaf.
Wakaf dapat dibangunkan melalui pelbagai projek seperti perumahan, rumah kedai, sekolah dan kolej. Pendapatan dari hasil itu boleh disalurkan ke masjid dan surau dan juga kepada tabung komuniti Muslim secara keseluruhanya.
Syabas & taniah kepada Ketua Menteri Sarawak Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud dan Kerajaan Negeri yang bersungguh-sungguh menubuhkan Akta yang berkaitan hal ehwal wakaf.

Tiada Tanah Rakyat DIRAMPAS !!!!!!!!!!!

Rakyat di negeri ini dinasihatkan agar tidak mudah terpedaya atau terpengaruh dengan hasutan pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab berhubung pengambilan tanah Hak Adat Bumiputera (NCR) milik mereka oleh pihak kerajaan.
Terbaca akhbar Utusan Borneo 7/10/2008 saya amat kagum dengan Kata-kata Timbalam Ketua Menteri Sarawak Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu boleh kita ambil sebagai JAMINAN kepada semua pemilik NCR dan Kerajaan tidak pernah mengambil tanah NCR milik rakyat sewenang-wenangnya sebaliknya akan membayar pampasan kepada pemilik tanah sekira tanah tersebut digunakan untuk pembangunan yang sudah tentu memberi kesenangan kepada semua juga.

( Renungan: Isu NCR boleh dikata sensitif dan banyak kes-kes dibawa ke Mahkamah, contoh satu kes di kawasan Lasi-Julau )
Kepada pemilik NCR, sila gunakan saluran yang betul untuk menyelesaikan hak milik anda.

Sabar Tunggu Perlaksanaan Pembangunan

Kita rakyat diluar bandar memang ingin pembangunan sebab sudah 45 tahun Sarawak Maju dalam Malaysia masih adalah kawasan yang belum menerima kemudahan asas seperti Jalan Raya Berturap, Bekalan Lektrik 24 jam & Bekalan Air yang bersih.
Pada PRU 13 yang lepas banyak janji-janji manis lambat ditunaikan dan atau langsung tidak ditunaikan . Sekarang rakyat inginkan angin perubahan.
Walaupun Kesabaran nadi terpenting dan mampu jadi 'pelicin' kepada setiap pelan pembangunan dan berharap BN bersikap amat adil dan tidak ' pilih kasih' ketika melaksanakan program pembangunnya.

Tiada Hormat Langsung " Hindraf "

Setelah menonton berita TV3 malam ini, saya amat terkejut dengan perangai buruk Hindraf ini yang langsung tiada mengambil perasaan orang yang sedang bergembira menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. Mereka ini cukup tidak mengira aspek muhibah, harmoni dan perpaduan.
Mereka itu betul-betul tidak buka otak . Apakah pandangan orang asing yang sedang menghadiri rumah terbuka ini yang tercemar oleh Hindraf. Dia fikir dunia ini dia seorang punyakah.
Wahai, Hindraf, I am sure ISA should be remained there in Malaysia just for you.

HAK ADAT BUMIPUTERA (NCR)

Land policy encourages devt of agro lands By Puvaneswary Devindran
KUCHING: Sarawak’s land policy has been drawn up in such a way as to encourage owners to develop their agriculture lands in sub-urban and urban areas.
Second Minister of Planning and Resource Management Dato Sri Awang Tengah Ali Hassan told reporters this after handing out land titles to 305 villagers from Kampung Tanjong Poting and Kampung Tanjong Senibong at Singgai in Bau yesterday.
He said agriculture lands located in sub-urban and urban area could fetch a high price if developed.
“If they (land owners) proceed to develop these lands, it (land value) would outweigh the premium to be paid. That is basically why we have this sort of policy,” he added.
He was commenting on reports of land owners in Sibu being unhappy over the rates charged. The matter, highlighted by Sibu branch chairman of Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP), Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh showed that some owners had been assessed at rates from RM30,000 to RM90,000 per acre for lands in sub-urban areas.
Wong said this contravened the land policy, and that the reason given by the Land and Survey Department was that the lands were not fully utilised for agriculture or were used for residential purposes.
Under the policy, the land premium was only RM200 per acre for agriculture or country land. For agriculture lands within the sub-urban area, the owners would have to pay 25 per cent of the land value or the maximum of RM5,000 per acre, whichever is less.
If the lands were within the town district, the owners need to fork out 25 per cent of the value or the maximum of RM10,000 per acre.
“Here there are a lot of grey areas. It should, for example, define the extent the land should be used whether intensively, sporadically or minimally. We have been approached and have helped many landowners in Limbang, Bintulu and Lawas. But it is impossible for every individual to come and see us. That is why we have reactivated the committee,” he said in reference to SUPP’s land committee.
Meanwhile Tengah said he would have to find out what was going on in Sibu but that normally for undeveloped land, the premium would be based on 25 per cent of the market value of the land; but if fully developed, it’s a flat rate of RM5,000 per acre for lands in the sub-urban areas and RM10,000 per acre for lands in the urban area.
When asked if the land policy would go through another review if more people were unhappy over it, he replied: “We had just reviewed it but nothing is static in this world.”
He said the most important thing was that the people be thoroughly informed about the policy, and taught how to calculate the premium based on the formula to avoid misunderstanding.
Earlier in his speech, Tengah said concerted effort was required to facilitate survey work on all traditional lands in Sarawak, so the people could get their deeds faster.
He said that it was an ongoing work for the Land and Survey Department to get the deeds for the people for free, even when it had to spent on average RM60,000 monthly for the work to be done in an area.
“The title you get is a perpetuity one and it is free from survey fees or tax. But even so, your lands carry value because they are located in an area accessible to and near development. So do not think that just because you got it for free, your land is of no value,” he added.
Tengah reminded that the land would not have value only if there was no development nearby. As such, he called on the people to support the government of the day as it brought development to the nation.
He said Barisan Nasional was able to bring development to the people because it worked on ensuring stability in the country. Tengah praised Tasik Biru assemblyman Peter Nansian Ngusie for being proactive, which enabled people in his area to receive over 3,000 land titles.
He said there were over 1,000 more land titles to be given out to five more villages in the area; and assured that the Land and Survey Department would continue to work on this, provided the people cooperated with the department.Yesterday’s event saw 117 villagers in Kampung Tanjong Poting receive a total of 159 land titles while 188 from Kampung Tanjong Senibong received 228 land titles.
Nansian, Sarawak Land and Survey Department Kuching Controller Abdullah Julaihi and organising chairman Loren Sikui also spoke at the event.

Kawan Jadi Lawan

Apbabila terbaca surat khabar pagi ini, saya amat sedih sekali mendengar berita bahawa 3 buah rumah panjang rentung di Ranan, Kanowit.
Kejadian yang tidak di sangka ini telah merugikan penduduk-penduduk rumah panjang iaitu Rh. Kudi 13 pintu. Rh. Jipun 10 pintu & Rh. Kat 10 pintu.
Ini adalah berpunca daripada pergaduhan suami isteri. Si suami yang dikatakan tidak " puas " hati selepas "pergaduhan" itu bertindak menyalakan api di bahagian siling biliknya.
Kisah pahit ini amat sungguh memalukan .

TV Sarawak by 2011 ?

Sarawakians may get to have a TV Channel in their own local languages by 2011.
This was announced by Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek when officiating Dayak Music Awards (DAMA) 2008 but we have to wait until RTM digital broadcasting comes on line in three years time.
Well fellows Sarawakian we should be proud of it .
Lot of local programes can be aired by TV Sarawak like arts and cultures of various races in Sarawak.
Interested Parties and Companies can promote their products like Eco-Tourism etc.
Let us together share his vision to make it a reality.

MP Bintulu say STEP DOWN & Union say UNFAIR

Sarawak Headmasters' Council and Sarawak Teachers' Association Union Council condemn the " quit call" by MP YB Seri Tiong King Sing against Sarawak State Education Director .
Of course these 2 unions belong to teaching profession group. Remember that Boss is always right. Yes , finger pointing as this time is no longer effective as YB time bomb already " exploded " . It is never to late to reconciles and YB Dato has done a lot toward improving good education in Sarawak. Just a reminder to all" Please don't sweep the dust under the carpet, o.k. "
I Salute YB, because you have bravely fought against gangterism and this time it is only " kacang putih issue". Keep it up YB .

Kurang RM20/- tidak perlu bayar

Wow, berita ini amat bagus bahawa isi rumah di Sarawak yang menerima bil lektrik SESCO dengan kadar RM20/- ke bawah tak perlu membuat sebarang bayaran mulai bulan depan hingga akhir tahun.
Terima kasih kepada Menteri Perancangan & Pengurusan Sumber II Datuk Seri Awang Tengah Ali Hasan yang berkata itu adalah sejajar dengan langkah kerajaan pusat yang tidak mengenakan sebarang bayaran terhadap isi rumah yang menerima bil elektrik RM20/- ke bawah seperti yang di umumkan semasa Bajet 2009.
Kita tahu Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak amat perihatin walaupun ada pihak meminta kadarnya di naikan.
Maklumbalas pengguna memanglah kadar RM20/- itu tidak mencukupi sekira isi keluarga itu mempunyai kipas angin, peti sejuk, TV dan periuk lektrik.
Kita berharap YB yang akan bersidang Parlimen bulan Oktober nanti syorkan naikan kadar RM20/- ke amuan yang munasabah.
Kita faham kerajaan pusat akan menanggung perbelajaan tambahan sebanyak RM170 juta untuk meringankan beban rakyat sebab krisis kenaikan harga minyak secara global.
Dengan itu kita sama-sama mengambil langkah-langkah berjimat cermat penggunaan lektrik di rumah dan sentiasa menyokong pemimpin-pemimpin Kerajaan Barisan Nasional.

Akta Hubungan Kaum - Sarawak & Sabah

Salah seorang Menteri Kabinet Sarawak berkata bahawa negeri ini tidak perlu kepada sebarang undang-undang berhubungan kaum bahawa rakyat Malaysia yang berasal dari negeri-negeri di Semenajung mungkin berpendapat sama. Tetapi bagi mereka yang tahu mengenai Sarawak dan yang telah berkerja di Sarawak boleh memberi penilain yang jujur mengenai hubungan kaum di Sarawak . Kenyataan Menteri itu juga disokong oleh Ahli Parlimen kawasan Kapit.
Kita sokong cadangan Menteri Dalam Negeri untuk mewujudkan Akta Hubungan Kaum bertujuan bagi mengukuhkan hubungan di kalangan rakyat berbilang kaum.
Sarawak yang mempunyai 33 kumpulan etnik yang telah tinggal bersama aman dan tiada ketegangan kaum berlaku di Bumi Kenyalang. Ini juga disokong dengan parti-parti politik yang tidak memainkan isu atau politik perkauman. Kita juga tidak pernah mengembar-gemburkan kepentingan kaum kita berbanding dengan kaum lain. Kedua-dua wakil rakyat juga sama berpendapat bahawa ini adalah soal sikap manusia.
Saya juga setuju dengan kenyataan YB Alexander supaya rakyat Malaysia di luar Sarawak dan Sabah agar belajar dari kedua-dua negeri ini cara untuk hidup secara harmoni di kalangan berbilang kaum dan agama.
Dengan ahkhir kata kita perlu " Sediakan payung sebelum Hujan ".

Koridor Tenaga Yang Boleh Diperbaharu

Sarawak Corridor of Renewal Energy (SCORE) atau Koridor Tenaga Yang Boleh Diperbaharu
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pada 11/2/2008 Negeri Sarawak adalah koridor ke 5 dilancar oleh YAB Perdana Menteri Malaysia Datuk Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi.
Dengan perlaksanaan SCORE ini adalah merupakan projek pembangunan koridor yang bertujuan meningkat ekonomi negeri Sarawak di Malaysia . SCORE ini juga dapat merapatkan jurang pendapatan penduduk diluar bandar.

Saya menyeru kepada semua sentiasa menyokong kerajaan BN dibawah pimpinan YAB Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Hj. Ahmad Badawi dan Ketua Menteri Sarawak Pehin Sri Hj. Abdul Taib Mahmud.

Barisan Nasional Kekal Unggul - Parti Pakatan ?????

16/9/2008 sudah berlalu dan apakah strategi baru Parti PKR. DSAI hanya cakap kosong dan semua "impian" dia telah menjadi nasi bubur dengan selalu " cakap tidak serupa bikin".
Tetapi kami rakyat bumi kenyalang berkehendak negeri kami mempunyai pentabiran baik dan mahu pembangunan dijalankan dengan baik.
Kestabilan politik bumi kenyalang yang kuat dan kukuh inginkan pembangunan diteruskan serta memberi faedah kepada rakyat, khusunya di luar bandar.
Kerajaan BN Sarawak telah menguruskan negeri ini dengan baik dan sentiasa mentabir negeri ini dengan adil walaupun rakyatnya berbilang bangsa dan agama.
Impian Parti Pakatan hendak merampas Sarawak dari BN adalah sasaran mereka pada pilihan raya negeri Sarawak Ke 10 akan datang hanyalah impian Mat Jenin juga.
Rakyat diluar bandar tidak " menerima" Parti Pakatan buat seketika.
Sekali lagi Tahniah kepada PM Datuk Seri Ahmad Abdullah Badawi .
Tetapi Kerajaan BN hendaklah berhati-hati bahawa "Air tenang jangan di sangka tiada buaya ".

Swap Seat

Baru-baru ini ada khabar angin mengatakan Parti PRS / SUPP akan bertukar kawasan. Betulkah berita ini ?
