Iban Student deprived of her rights

It is indeed a sad story of a student, Nadia Selimin, who scored 9As and a B in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) early this year, but denied entry to further her studies at Kolej Matrikulasi just because her mother is a Chinese. Her father is an Iban, Selimin Kring.Sad, because there is such a thing as prejudice being practised in Malaysia, despite the fact that we are supposed to be in the 21st century and has been independent for 46 years in the federation of Malaysia.Her plight was brought up YB Mong Dagang, State assemblyman for Bukit Begunan at the Dewan Undangan Negeri meeting.Under the Sarawak Interpretation Ordinance, Nadia is a Dayak Iban and as such she should be entitled to any privileges as spelt out in Article 39 of the State Constitution or Article 153 of the Federal Constitution read together with Article 161A of the same Constitution. At least in the case of Nadia I think we have to thank YB Mong for highlighting her plight. We need more YBs like him who are not ashamed to be called Dayaks to highlight Dayak problems.

Rumah Dayak Sri Aman DEMOLISHED..

Rumah Dayak tu sigi pesaka kitai iban serta siti ari lambang ti Ngemegahka ka kitai menua Simanggang. Nama kebuah ia diruntuh?

Entulu ka Muai term DAYAK???

“The term should be dropped, he said, because it conveyed negative connotations like being uncivilised, uncouth and “low class”. Entulu(pic)

Reti leka jako Dayak,
Semina urang ke enda nemu reti Dayak serta urang ka bisi agenda Kediri aja ke nyebut utai munyi nya. Reti nya malu lah iya (Entulu) ngelama tu nya nyadi urang Dayak. Nama meh penyadi nggau ketuai kitai Dayak tu. Nti bangsa urang bukai, mati-mati urang ka ngenan ka nama ti deka nyerakup bangsa. Tang nyelai mai ga runding YB Entulu tu,nyau ka dibuai ga term Dayak.
Iya empu Dayak ka muai term Dayak, nama reti nya??
Ba aku, urang ke nyabut term Dayak nya low class, kebendar ia urang nya empu ke Dayak ti low class. Urang ke nyebut word Dayak nya ngelambang ka uncivilised kebendar ia urang nya meh uncivilised ari sukut sense of belonging ngagai bangsa diri.
Term Dayak ulih kena nyerakup ke bansa
Sepatut ia, kitai patut majak ngenan ka word Dayak nya.. laban word Dayak nya meh ulih nyerakup bangsa kita ba Sarawak. Word Dayak nya ulih mai bangsa kita Sarawak bc sense of belonging ngagai bangsa & menua kitai Sarawak. So, nadai jako ka muai word Dayak nya.
Enti nyema munyi ko iya tegal word Dayak nya kitai nda ulih meli rumah low cost, invest ba ASB & perkara bukai kelebih agi ba menua semenanjung ketegal word Dayak nya di kumbai ukai Bumiputera.
Nama kebuah urang semnanjung nda nemu Dayak nya Bumiputera
Tu tanya aku, Udah lebih 45 tahun kitai Sarawak nggau ngenumbuh ka Malaysia nama kebuah urang semnanjung nda nemu Dayak nya Bumiputera???????? Nama reti nya deh??? Nibuh aku bejurai panjai reti nya, kitai semua nemu reti nya. Bakani ka merealisasikan “One Malaysia” enti term Dayak pun urang semenanjung enda ga nemu taja pan 45 taun kitai Malaysia udah ditumbuh….
Enti urg semenanjung nda nemu reti Dayak lalu word Dayak nya ukai Bumiputera, So, nya meh tugas iya sebagai Ahli PArlimen ti merangkap timbalan menteri pemansang menua pesisir Malaysia nerang ngagai parlimen tauka perintah federal nama reti Dayak nya, lalu madah ngagai urang din Dayak nya meh word ti dikena urang non-malay bumiputera Sarawak. Nda patut bekas pensyarah nda mereti pasal utai bakanya.
Nan ke leka jako Dayak
Aku arap kitai Dayak sama bersaum ngenan ka jaku Dayak nya.. Dayak nya identiti kitai… Agi ku ingat jaku Datuk Sri Daniel Tajem suba, taja pan kitai Dayak ulih bertukar pengarap, tang enti kitai nya ada as a Dayak kitai tetap Dayak sampai belama ia… So, nti term Dayak dibuai reti nya, identiti penyerakup bangsa Sarawak udai dibuai. So, kitai patut ngenan ka word DAYAK nya, laban jaku DAYAK lambang penyerakup bangsa SARAWAK.
HIDUP DAYAK!!!!!!!!!!!!

YB Dominique arrested

Yb dominic...we the young voters are behind you and pakatan rakyat.

"Penan" fight for their own rights

For two decades the Penan indigenous people of Sarawak in Borneo have been fighting a desperate battle to save their homelands from logging, damming and farming. They fight by blockading roads to the forest, with numerous members being arrested and even more forced to settle in marginal communities ravaged by poverty and disease.
Their nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle has been destroyed by the activities of the Malaysian government and big business. Only 300 Penan still live a traditional lifestyle on their dwindling homelands.

Jabu and Dayak YB

Dayak YBs usually refer to Jabu for his opinion. And Jabu also made it known that he wanted to give his opinion in most cases - to keep the Dayak “in-line”. How much Masing listen to Jabu is any body guess but still jabu influence would be difficult for masing to just brush aside.
Jabu is known to have a big influence in selecting Dayak BN candidates. It is common knowledge that the new MP from Lubok Antu, Nyalau and Masir are his “manok sabong”. Dr. Johnichol Rayong is another Jabu man now, eventhough he is asking to join SUPP. Why?
The more Dayak or Iban YBs are under jabu, politically it makes Jabu an important asset to taib and Jabu would ensure a lesser problems from the Dayak YB. It is a well known fact that Jabu do give out money to support certain dayak candidate would later maintain a “master and servant” relationship with jabu.

There is no unity among Dayak

Yes, you are right if you think that the Dayak communities in general are united at a long house level or district level. But at the leadership level, Dayak is so disunited that you can find a representative or leader in most political parties in Sarawak.
If MIC has a branch in Sarawak, you will probably find a Dayak in that party as well.
This lead to a request by Datuk William Mawan stressing for a unity among the Dayak communities but he conveniently forgot to mention unity among the Dayak leaders.
As a matter of fact, Dayak leaders put party interest first and their own communities later. Those leaders must report to their party presidents who are non-Dayak. Those leaders must get consent from their party president before any execution. Being non-Dayak, that party president could not entertain all the Dayak requests since he or she also needs to entertain requests from their own communities.
At the rate that we are going (if Dayak at all level are still disunited), we will always have a Dayak leader who is not quite a leader.
