TWO JOES BY ONE JOE

TWO JOES BY ONE JOE.

Source : http://zorro-zorro-unmasked.blogspot.com/

I am feeling good by the day about Batang Ai. This morning,

Johnny Chuat, an Iban blogger and publisher of an Iban magazine, who entererd the nomination centre at about 9am failed to submit his papers as an independent.

Coming out of the centre, he wore a PKR shirt and met his supporters, telling them to support Jawah Gerang.

Late last week Jawah’s former BN colleague banded together and pledged support for him.
Broken Shield's Joe "Jetty" Tawei report posted today gives one the impression, that some TUAI RUMAH'S, long in the strangle-hold of Iban BN cronies of the TERMITE, is standing up and saying "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH".
Joe's take:

1. A BN gathering at Kaong

Joseph Entulu, PRS deputy president and Joseph Salang, PRS information chief, last night campaigned at Rumah Ambau, Kaong for their candidate Malcolm Mussen.

Like in any other longhouses, Tuai Rumah Ambau, while welcoming the two deputy ministers, called on his people not to vote for the BN candidate and told them why. Several people tried to stop him talking, but he continued talking and repeated what he said “don’t vote for BN candidate.” The two deputy ministers were clearly not amused, but strong supporters of BN were stunned. Others (perhaps PKR supporters) smiled. Even if the Tuai Rumah did not make a genuine mistake, the damage has been done.

more a slap in the face than a kick in the ass, yes?

It's PKR Vs BN AT BATANG AI (N29)

It’s PKR vs BN at Batang Ai
By Joe Tawie


Sarawak’s Batang Ai state seat by-election will see a straight fight between the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and Barisan Nasional. Former five-term MP for Lubok Antu, Jawah Gerang, of PKR is to face BN candidate Malcolm Mussen.

Johnny Chuat, an Iban blogger and publisher of an Iban magazine, who entererd the nomination centre at about 9am failed to submit his papers as an independent.

Coming out of the centre, he wore a PKR shirt and met his supporters, telling them to support Jawah Gerang.
There were some tense moments when objections were raised against the two candidates, but the returning officer, Nelson Mujah Girie overruled the objections and accepted both nominations.
The returning officer made the announcement at 11.30am.


The large crowd estimated at 10,000 exchanged friendly taunting, but there were a few tense moments among the PKR supporters when the police started to seize PAS flags.

PKR Dominique Ng intervened and talked to a senior police officer. Later Ng told Malaysiakini that the police refused to allow PAS flags to be displayed at the field among the DAP and PKR crowd.

‘Dayakism in action’


The police told Ng that PAS was not a participating party in the by-election and according to the rules of the Election Commission, any party which was not involved should not be allowed to join the crowd displaying its flags.
Ng told the police that if that was the case, then SUPP, SPDP and PBB should also not be allowed to display their flags.

But the police replied that they were parties in the Barisan Nasional, whereas Pakatan Rakyat was not a registerd body.

After a long argument, the police allowed the PAS contingent to join its partners, saying that it was all a miscommunication.


A former senior BN leader commented on the number of so many Dayak lawyers present at the nomination centre to support the PKR…it shows “Dayakism in action”.

Many ordinary Dayaks from professionals down to rural dwellers have taken a greater interest in the Dayaks’ political predicament while using PKR as the main vehicle to articulate their fears and hopes.

Earlier Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud led his entire cabinet ministers and several thousand BN supporters, comprising members of various BN component parties, not only from Sarawak, but also from Sabah and West Malaysia.

The BN entourage also included several BN federal ministers including Shafiee Apdal and Peter Chin.

The PKR supporters were led by Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim.

Sleepy border town bursts into life

The PKR leaders were joined by their colleagues including four state-elected representatives of Sarawak Wong Ho Leng, Chong Chieng Jen, Voon Lee San and Violet Yong as well as their colleagues from Sabah such as Jeffrey Kitingan and Christina Liew.

PAS also sent its representatives to lend support to the PKR candidate.

Lubok Antu has never seen such a large gathering of supporters from the various political parties and so many leaders from both the ruling coalition and opposition at one time during any election.

The sleepy border town suddenly bursts into life and Taib’s presence has lent credence to the belief that he considered crucial that BN must win in this predominantly Iban seat in the face of the increasing challenge from the PKR which is starting to make inroads into the rural areas.

Polling will take place on April 7 and the result will be announced at 8pm at the Lubok Antu Sports Complex - the same venue as for the nomination.

OVER THE YEARS YOU HAVE SEEN HOW THEY LOOK LIKE.THEY WILL NOT HIDE.YOU CAN SMELL THEM ACROSS THE RIVERS

THEY WILL CHEAT YOU AGAIN.WILL YOU SELL YOUR SOUL AND YOUR LAND FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE?YOU DID IT BEFORE.BUT THE IBAN NATION WANTS CHANGE NOW.

If BN gives you RM1000. Dont take it. Ask for RM2000 and vote forT Jawah Gerang. If you accept the RM2000 and vote for BN's Malcolm Mussen Lamoh you have accepted a bribe....that's corruption. But on accepting the money (which is actually your money) and you vote for Jawah, you are voting against a corrupt state and you realise that the..

TIME FOR CHANGE is NOW!

Jawah Gerang Calon Pakatan Rakyat Untuk DUN Batang Ai (N29)

Jawah Gerang Calon Pakatan Rakyat Untuk DUN Batang Ai
By Anwar Ibrahim
Source: http://anwaribrahimblog.com/

Sabentar tadi, di Hotel Grand Continental, Kuching saya telah mengumumkan Jawah Gerang sebagai calun Pakatan Rakyat dari KeADILan untuk bertanding dalam pilihan raya kecil DUN Batang Ai, 7 April ini.

Pengalaman saudara Jawah yang sebelum ini berkhidmat sebagai Ahli Parlimen Lubok Antu selama lima penggal jelas memperlihatkan kredibiliti beliau sebagai pemimpin rakyat di DUN Batang Ai yang komited.

Turut hadhir dalam majlis ini termasuklah saudara Dominique Ng, YB Violet (mewakili DAP) dan juga YB Gabriel Adit.

Juga diumumkan ialah pemilihan saudara Nicholas Bawin sebagai Pengarah Operasi Pilihan Raya. Ini jelas membuktikan betapa fitnah perpecahan yang dilempar BN sekadar omongan kosong yang berlalu ditiup angin.

Dengan sokongan masyarakat di Batang Ai yang begitu mengagumkan, ditambah pula dengan dukungan para bloggers yang komited memperjuangkan nilai pemberitaan seimbang dan telus, BN Sarawak pastinya terus gusar meranduk iltizam rakyat.

Harapan rakyat di seluruh Malaysia khususnya di Sarawak kepada Jawah Gerang adalah sangat tinggi. Kepada jentera petugas, ayuh perkemas dan tingkatkanlah usaha demi menggarap agenda perubahan!

Where are the Iban (Sea Dayak) Warriors In Politics?

Written by YB Encik Voon Lee Shan *
Source : http://thebrokenshield.blogspot.com/















Rentap, the most famous Iban warrior in Sarawak

Iban people were traditionally brave people. They feared no one and were well known for their bravery. History told us that they also had good leaders, who were capable to enter into military alliances with one another and able to moblilize hundreds of followers under their direction for territorial expansion.

For newly opened region or territory during their head hunting days, their tuai menoa allocated settlement areas to their followers and their young men who displayed courage in the battlefield were entitled to called bujang berani or “brave bachelor”. In the old days, they were truly warriors and they led and were never wanted to be led by other people. So, they fought against the Rajahs.

Their bravery helped young Malaysia grew to what it is today. Malaysia needed them in early years and in time of peace, they still served the nation well. Iban were good trackers and their service in the Royal Malaysian Rangers was exemplary and many were awarded with bravery awards for their prowess in fighting the insurgencies. Their display of bravery was consistent with their motto, “Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban”.

In Rangers, they also displayed not only exceptional courage, but, also exemplary leadership and discipline.


Brookes Changed Iban ( Sea Dayak) Leadership

Things now changed. They no more led, but, were led by others through their leaders. Why and how could this happen?

One thing for sure about the Iban people was that, the Iban or Dayaks in general were good, honest and obedient followers. The Brookes were smart and when they ruled Sarawak, they appointed Iban warriors as native chiefs. It was through these native chiefs that Brooke’s rule became more peaceful and Sarawak’s territory then expanded.

The British who took over from Brookes also did the same thing and this strategy worked well to keep the Iban in peace with the government. Iban people lived simple lives and were never demanding and it was their culture taught them to respect and be obedient to their elders or tuai.

In the longhouses, their tuai who headed their longhouses were called tuai rumah. These tuai rumah were powerful figures and they provided the link with the government.

The anembiaks in the longhouses in return for their loyalty and obedience to their tuai rumah will get some subsidies in terms of fertilizers, some granite for their roads which normally were distributed to them as “election installments”. That is, these subsidies will only normally be distributed when elections were around.

However, the Iban could not simply get these subsidies unless their tuai rumah were obedient and loyal to the government. The BN government held them under 'political ransom' and the present system will continue to make them so.

Therefore, until today the system of tuai rumah has been maintained and given the few hundred ringgits as monthly allowances, these tuai rumah had then been instrumental in controlling and influencing their anembiaks to be obedient and loyal to the government.

With the exceptional loyalty as trademark and embedded as a culture, the Barisan Nasional government has until now since independence ruled Sarawak through Iban patronage. That also prolonged Pehin Sri Taib, a Melanau and a Muslim as the Chief Minister of Sarawak. With that, Taib may wish to perpetuate the Melanau dynasty which began from his uncle Tun Rahman, in ruling Sarawak, by making his son, Sulaiman as the next chief minister.

Kuala Lumpur followed Brookes

When Malaysia was formed in September 16, 1963, the federal government in Kuala Lumpur also followed Brooke. They knew, Apai Jugah was too influential among the Ibans ( Sea Dayak) and other Dayaks. They respected and were loyal to Apai Jugah.

So as not to rock the peace already established through Brookes’ rule, the federal government then appointed Apai Jugah as a Federal Minister. With Apai Jugah, the Iban just continued to get some subsidies. The Iban together with the Melanaus and Malays in Malaysia were Bumiputera, but, the Iban until today could not enjoy what the Malays could get.

Gone was Apai Jugah, the BN government perpetuates Iban loyalty to the government by absorbing Iban ( Sea Dayak) leaders and politicians into the government. These leaders were given posts and many perks.

The few leaders, like Jabu, Moggie, Masing, Mawan, Entulu, were said very rich. So, the story continues. The Iban ( Sea Dayak) never then led, but, was led through their leaders. What the Iban got until now were subsidies and not capitals for the development of the community.

The majority of the Iban will continue to be poor. While their leaders lived in big towns and cities could enjoy piped water and driving luxurious cars with oil palm plantations from Native Customary Rights (NCR) lands giving them perpetuating income and wealth, the majority of the Iban will see themselves poor and to live without proper water and electricity supply.

In return for their wealth they got from their positions in the government, these Iban leaders who presently are in the government will continue to tell the Iban people that only BN government could give the Iban subsidies in the longhouses.

This was of course true, but, the Iban ( Sea Dayak) did not realize that the giving to them subsides will continue to make them poor. It would be different, if Pakatan Rakyat takes over the government. Instead of subsidies, the Iban will get capitals to start their lives.

The Iban ( Sea Dayak) now has no political warriors who are capable to lead the community against the Barisan Nasional and against the dominance of the Melanau-Malays in Sarawak politics.

Ningkan an Iban from Betong who was supported by many Chinese tycoons in his days was too aggressive. His display of the typical Dayak arrogance and bravery was seen a threat by the federal government led by the Malays from UMNO, who then politically kicked him out of his chief ministership.

Ningkan who displayed exceptional political courage and leadership of an Iban warrior, Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban, was seen a threat to UMNO rule in Sarawak through Melanau-Malays. These Melanau-Malays were mostly Muslims, but, is not a large group in the state.

Had Ningkan not been toppled, Iban today would be under a better umbrella had enjoyed better lives. Maybe, it was and still is the policy of federal government to see that Iban should not become the governor and chief minister of Sarawak.

This was made more difficult in recent years after the amendment of the State Constitution because, it seems that to be a governor, the governor must be a Muslim and in the case of Iban, this would be something almost impossible as most Ibans are Christians.

Due to the amendment of the State Constitution, the Iban, like the Chinese, would also find themselves difficult to become Speakers of the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN).

Iban (Sea Dayaks) Must Change

DAP and PKR are here to change the Iban lives, but, if Iban people refuses to change nothing much DAP and PKR could do. Iban leaders like, Jabu, Masing, Mawan, Sylvester Entri, Peter Nyarok and Francis Hardin, being senior Iban politicians could bring better change to the Iban community, but, it seems that they prefer to be led and not to lead.

They should be the Iban political warriors taking lead to bring the Iban to greater heights. They should realize that Iban being the largest race in Sarawak should lead and not be led by the minorities.

Never, at anytime I heard them speaking against any of the policies put up by the government. They lacked political courage to speak against the evils of the government and when they saw Taib coming to the Dewan Undangan Negeri, they all rushed towards him, trying to get Taib’s attention. Sometimes, I observed that when Taib saw them coming, Taib just shook their hands with them, but, with his face turning away looking at others around!

So if Iban people want to change themselves, they should no more be dependent on their present leaders. Instead, they have to take the lead themselves, throw away their present leaders and change the government.

The Iban people have lost its grip in power and the only way to overcome this is to change the government. So, the coming Batang Ai by-election will a testing ground for Iban Baru ( New Sea Dayak ) or New Iban ( New Sea Dayak ) Whoever be fielded by the Opposition against the BN in Batang Ai, the Iban people, please rise up to the occasion to support the candidate for a change.

He is your Iban Baru!

I’m not an old outdated citizen of Sarawak, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning!! I do not believe that any political campaign justifies the declaration of a moratorium on ordinary common sense. A campaign is about defining who you are - your vision, your mission, your objectives and your opponent’s vision/wants. The aim for each Vote is being analyze, selected, nominated and wins the Election N29 Batang Ai, Sarawak that you have decided well to choose your course of prosperity, defend your rights, protect the Laws of Justice, your native lands, your bangsa not for you but for generations to come!!

Have we ( The dayaks ) been fooled all this while?

Have we been fooled all this while?

Kelantan Menteri Besar, Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat is one kind of a leader who dares to say a “spade is a spade” when he labels the term “Bumiputra” as a smack of racism. But to us Dayaks, bumiputra is an illusory word, the application (or non-application) of which has made us Dayaks as the losers in terms of development, business opportunities, contracts and tenders, educational opportunities, recruitment into and promotion in the civil service.

In the political terminology, Dayaks together with Malays, Kadazandusuns and other natives are grouped as Bumiputras. What it means here is that when UMNO needs our support to strengthen its policy on “ketuanan Melayu” the Dayaks are considered as Bumiputras so that bigger “Merdeka cakes” (a.k.a. economic opportunities, rights and privileges) should be accorded to reflect the larger composition of Bumiputras (Malays, Dayaks, Kadazandusun, etc) and as Bumiputras our rights are said to be included in the term.

But in actual implementation of the “Bumiputra policy” the Dayaks have been sidelined or not considered at all for all those privileges, rights and economic opportunities; in fact the Dayaks are officially known as “lain-lain” (others). And as “lain-lain” what do we get? Even Article 153 of the Federal Constitution cannot protect us. In fact, illegal immigrants have better treatment than us.

I recall a friend of mine who is now a member of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) Supreme council complained that his application for a business was rejected because he was not a bumiputra. Imagine a Dayak Iban’s application for business opportunities is not considered on ground that he is not a Bumiputra. His case is a tip of the iceberg.

The term of “Bumiputra” and “non-Bumiputra” first came into use when the government introduced New Economic Policy (NEP) following the 13 May 1969 racial riots in West Malaysia. That is about 30 years ago.

Following a special meeting with the then Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad with Dayak leaders like Tan Sri Leo Moggie from the defunct Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) and Dayak non-governmental organisations as well as Kadazandusun leaders like Tan Sri Bernard Dompok of UPKO, Sabah some time in 2000, it was agreed by the Federal government to give a special attention to Sarawak and Sabah people in terms of financial allocation and business opportunities.

And arising from that meeting it was decided to form the Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) and Kadazandusun Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) to look after the interests of the Dayak and Kadazandusun communities. Since then a new terminology, Bumiputra minorities, has been coined to refer to the Dayaks and Kadazandusuns. Legally, of course, there are no such words.

The current debate on the privileges of “Bumiputra” was brought up by an Opposition leader, Dr. Boo Cheng Hau in Johor State Assembly last week when he likened “bumiputralism” as another form of apartheid policy which was experienced by the black Africans.

Nik Aziz labeled it (bumiputralism) as racism and wanted it drop, while the Information Minister, Ahmad Shabery Cheek said the Opposition did not understand the meaning and the history of the word.

It is obvious that we have been lulled into belief that as Bumiputras we enjoy all the rights. What a fool we have been for the last 30 years for continuing to elect BN government? This issue should be one of the issues to be highlighted at the forthcoming Batang Ai by-election.

BN is not helping poor farmers in Sarawak

BN is not helping poor farmers in Sarawak

BN false claim

When the price of rubber was high - $5-$7 per kilo, the BN State government claimed it is because of their good work. The radio was trumpeting it every day explaining the brilliance of BN policies.

Today the price of rubber is very low. Will the BN claim that the low rubber price is also caused by them? If the former is true than the latter should be true that the price situation is directly attributed to BN initiatives.
We all know both are nonsensical BN claims. BN can fool the uneducated farmers but they cannot fool those who understand economics. BN leadership has stooped so low in trying to impress the poor folk by blatant lies when in actual fact they have done nothing to raise rubber or oil palm prices.

What is BN doing for the poor farmer now?
Jabu should be heading a taskforce to help poor farmers. Unfortunately old age and lack of knowledge by Tan Sri Alfred Jabu anak Numpang would hinder his ability to perform as a senior Minister. Might as well he fades away quickly before the next state election. Better not to overstay your welcome.

By now Tan Sri Alfred Jabu anak Numpang should be thinking of:
• providing minimum allowances to small holding farmers - at least $200.00 per month
• lower down the price of fertilizer by 50%
• increase government aid for subsidize seedlings
• create a price subsidy for rubber and palm oil through the “windfall tax” of palm oil /rubber
• do something - BN MINISTERS -just do not sit in your big comfortable office and talk down to the poor people.

Why are we suffering so much poverty in rural Sarawak?
It is because of the misuse and abuse of State assets and natural resources by BN State government. This Sarawak State government has even achieved and adopted a “refine methods” of taking State resources ( 12 dams, timber replanting, issuance of provisional lease for plantation ) that are legally correct but MORALLY WRONG as these projects allow a selected group of people to enjoy.
These selected Groups of people are Pehin Seri Abdul Taib Mahmud household members and relatives, political family members of the State Cabinets and Elected Representatives themselves. Politic to them is the venue to abuse their power and rape the Sarawak State of CONTRACTS and LINCENSE for extraction and mining of natural resources. Is that the reason why Sarawak voters elect them to the DUN?
It is a gross mismanagement of the State assets and natural resources. None of these projects benefited rural Sarawak at all. It brings many miseries though.

What did Rural Sarawak got from BN politic of development?
1. Lies
2. More Lies
3. Poverty
4. More poverty
5. Deceit
6. More deceit
7. Undermine personal rights of poor farmers
8. Suppression of Dayak adat and cultural practices
Even that is not bad enough. Now rural Sarawak suffers even more:
• dirty water from logging and plantation
• more sickness and death from logging
• more health problem from plantation chemical
• less food from the forest, protein from river and ikan Jabu is eating up

other species
• less raw material for local handicrafts used

Ask ourselves these questions?
• Did forestry and logging give us better roads infrastructure in rural areas?
• Has the quality of rural education been improved through extra earning?
• What economic growth has been generated in rural Sarawak through logging and plantation?
• What basic facilities (water/electricity) for the people have improved in logged out areas?
• What scholarship has been awarded to those in the logged and planted areas?
• (many more)
Look at those who benefit from logging, forest replanting and plantation.
• who has become filthy rich and control the print media - PBB and SUPP businessmen
• who has use the riches as an election war chest and undermine /marginalize the poor?
• who started to own large landed property when Bumiputera natives are not given land titles
• who has abuse and show disrespect of dayak cultures
• (many more - not written to avoid uncontrolled negativity).

Conclusion
Let us Sarawakian not look at small ethnics matters - we focus on the big threat that we are facing enforce upon us by BN.
It is also true that State Government are refusing entry to PR politician into Sarawak. It is an abuse of the special privilege clause. That is not what the “clause” is intended for - nevertheless, it is just a case of abuse of power in the name of the people of Sarawak.
BN should be more responsible when entrusted with the power to govern. BN should be working to solve the people’s problem as it is today that is cause by low rubber and palm oil prices for small holding farmers. The political leaders should be talking and listening to the people to offer help and assistance.

Today BN continue to play politics with Tuai Rumah and other category of Community leaders to instill fear in them not to go against the government. At least that is what YB Stephen Rundi is doing in Bintulu by taking advantage of the good office of the District Officer to organize political forum to carry political indoctrination.
