School Holiday
I still remember my time 10 years ago (1999) during school holiday. After finished my SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) at Kolej Tun Abdul Razak, I straight away make my first journey to Kuching town looking for a job. As a village boy, I do not know much about town life and what I cared the most is my job and saving for the next session of schooling. I brought with me RM 200.00, my scholarship balance to register at a computer training center at Wisma Saberkas to learn computer. At that time it was Windows 95 and Netscape Communicator. Learning computer was fun as everybody was talking about computer. Before my shift, I will go to the complete to complete my learning hour in able to get the certificate. During my off day, I spend my whole day at the center. After a month, I completed my hour and tested. I finally get my certificate and start using computer at cyber café.
Back in the supermarket, I work as hard as I can to get money for my next journey. During that time, my salary was RM 300.00 per month plus overtime. Indeed, living in town was very tough at that time. Many times I have to skip my meal in order to save money. After 4 months working at supermarket, I left and work at a pump station at Bang Hock road. My boss paid me RM 15.00 per day plus overtime. It was little higher than the supermarket’s pay.
In June 2000, I got an offer to pursue my study at a college under minister of education program and finally made my step to university. During my college time, I used to sell nasi lemak and curry puff to get extra money since the allowance is just enough for fees and books.
This tradition has becoming the practice to the next generation. Living with my sister’s family was quite tough where I have less time to play like other teenagers. At night time we must spend time to read our book. It was quiet hard to read with tiredness by the daily hard work but that the way it should be in the family. We are learnt to be diligent and intelligent. One of my nephews has followed the tradition and he was able to make it to university and now doing a good job.
This is not happening only to us but to a lot of Bidayuh families. In fact, many of our successful man and women were lived in such condition and some even can make their step to overseas universities. Not least, some gave up their study and work at coffee shop and supermarket and so forth. Those who are lucky, they work as nurses, clerk and helper at the government office.
I believe in this free country we should make an opportunity for ourselves rather than looking for it. I have made mine and its proven work well. But, there must be sacrifices and determination. Since we are not obligated to any right or privileges like other people had, I think we should start to think how to make our kid to be successful. We cannot even demand any right from our leaders since we are made “minority” by someone we love and trust. We cannot wait for DBNA and YB’s to give us money to buy flight ticket anymore. We cannot wait for the world to change but we must firstly change our attitude toward success and victory.
We cannot live without education, in fact we have seen that the whole world is evolve by the education. We cannot send our kid up to form five as there is no job for form five leavers. Unless, they are willing to work at oil palm estate or become a “mat rempit”.
This school holiday is an opportunity to find money and do not let it waste. Let the kid d some part time for their own experience. They should learn to work hard to gain for their life. Look at the Chinese kids, they even work until the midnight selling noodle and drink.

Pair
1. In Perak State there are two funny things. Perak has two Menteri Besar. One is Nizar and one is Zamri. Furthermore, Perak has two speakers. One is Sivakumar and one is one is Ganesan. Somehow, they have only one State Assembly and I do not know how these two clowns run the state. Up to you to figure out.
2. In MCA there are to Deputy President as well. One is Chua Soi Lek and one is Tiong Lai. Chua was selected based on law and Tiong Lai was select due to vote-of no confident to Chua. Somehow, MCA is still has two DP and the party just couldn’t know how to figure this out for the sake of the party. Up to you to figure out.
3. 1 Malaysia has two statements in the slogan. Statement 1 is “Rakyat di dahulukan”, and the second one is “Pencapaian diutamakan”. Who is to be first? Malay or non- Malay? Who are non-Malay and bumiputera? Have Najib ever read the reports of Penan girls are being rape by the loggers? Everybody was busy talking about Sofea, the mathematic genius and the wife of Prime Minister has asking her mother how to produce a kid like Sofea. How crazy it is. I do not know how the government servants work at Peninsular. But, in Kuching the tea time is at 8.00 am to 9.00 am. Lunch at 12.00 am to 2.00 pm. If you do not believe me, please go to any government office in Kuching. You will say I am not so bad in criticizing. KPI is not a surprise as there is no outcome from it. Idris must be a good man to see it works but it is not. I think those who score their KPI are those who are cleaning the toilet and sweep the streets and not the government servant. Furthermore, they depend a lot to contractors to fix their equipments although there are officers assigned to take care of their computers, facilities but they are just a gainer and not a worker. Believe me.
4. Now I get to understand that thing must be in pair. We must have to Prime Ministers. One is a man and one is a lady. The man takes care of the party and the lady takes care of the kindergarten.
5. Do we need a brain to be a politician or to be a bright shining politician? It may be yes or maybe no. We have a lot of clowns in the Parliament and in the offices. But you don’t have to be a politician or a government officer to have a brain. It's the brain that make your characters and behaviors. Not your title or post. Think about it.

The Dayak Supremacy
1. Marina Undau is a Dayak native and she should be threatened as a native.
2. Let check this out:
Article 161a of the Federal Constitution
In this Article ‘native’ means –
• (a) in relation to Sarawak, a person who is a citizen and either belongs to one of the races specified in Clause (7) as indigenous to the State or is a mixed blood deriving exclusively from those races;
• (b) in relation to Sabah, a person who is a citizen, is the child or grandchild of a person of a race indigenous to Sabah, and was born (whether on or after Malaysia Day or not) either in Sabah or to a father domiciled in Sabah at the time of the birth.
(7) The races to be treated for the purposes of the definition of ‘native’ in clause (6) as indigenous to Sarawak are the Bukitans, Bisayahs, Dusuns, Sea Dayaks, Land Dayaks, Kadayans, Kelabit, Kayans, Kenyahs (including Sekapans, Kejamans, Lahanans, Punans, Tanjongs dan Kanowits), Lugats, Lisums, Malays, Melanaus, Muruts, Penans, Sians, Tagals, Tabuns and Ukits.
3. The Malay’s government should study more on citizenship and there are several mistakes have been made as well. If a Dayak convert into Muslim, automatically they are called Malay without prejudice. But, if Malay converted into non-Muslim religion automatically they are called “Murtad” without prejudice.
4. I did not see any problem with the constitution but there is a problem with the rulers and government under the Malay. In fact, there is no freedom of religion and so other freedoms that should be granted to every citizen.
5. Either you are native or non-native there is no any different. It is better to be a non-bumiputera rather than a bumiputera or native because we are not understood the law and right to be one. There are reserved right for natives but yet it was overcome by those who are “superior”. Therefore a native will never get a government job after repeated of interviews and examination. You go and check to every government department. Don’t you ever try to get there during raya month. Nobody there.
6. Its sound racist but this is the truth that we should know. Iban is still a Iban and so the other natives. Nothing is reserved for them neither wealth nor opportunities. The native are thought to be a survivor and that is why you might not see young adults at long houses or villages. They are migrating away because there is less opportunity in the home land.
7. Marina Undau might be a mistake made by the Department of Registrar but the native right and privileges were never been made as mistake. In fact, all the right and privileges were made to make thing equal but it seems that the natives are loosing a lot from it.
8. Should there be rights and laws to for the natives? I don’t thing they are necessary since it has nothing to benefice the natives . They are just jokes and games to make the whole pity the dayak natives.

My Small Brain
1. Capitalism is an idea to be a Nation of Wealth and it is practiced since 16th century. The idea of market and merchant, buyer and seller were twine deeply and the idea of capitalism was really work in a right manner. The idea of capitalism encourages people to produce products and offer them to the society. The European and the west established a term “free market” and some of the scholars reject tariff, excise and tax.
2. Capitalism introduced labor and income so that there is wealth share mechanism between employer and employee. People are paid based on their ability to work and their handwork. Therefore, the industrial term existed as the labor market was plentiful. Some were shifted from Africa to work in estates and factories. People start to live in prosperity and at the same time people are divided into classes and caste. A lot of countries developed tremendously due to industrial revolution and international trade. Vast of products have been produced to be distributed to the humankind regardless consumable and non consumable product.
3. Monopoly is one of the best ways introduced by capitalist to gain wealth and market dominance. Fried Chicken was introduced in Kentucky and now you can find American fried chicken (KFC) all over the place in the world. In the modern world, those who dominate and control the commodity, trade currency and the technology are the monopoly.
4. Many nations embraced capitalism and some embrace socialism to run their country. American and European countries used capitalism as a tool to expand their business worldwide. Some used war as a way to find new oil field and many people died because of it.
5. The banking system was pattern in such a way to allow high interest to be charged to the people. Only those who are highly paid can own big houses, expensive cars, jewelries, money and other wealth. The banks earn a lot from interest that is based on government policy.
6. The low wages societies live in poverty and they cannot entitle for any loan. Therefore, many of them find other solution to supply for their need. Some do day and night job to pay bills and household expenses. Some are using illegal money lender to get money for their children education.
7. There is a government agencies assigned to give loan for students but then some work very hard to get it paid. Why? Because the wage scale for fresh graduate is around RM 1000-RM1200.
8. According to Alan Smith, capitalism is about wealth sharing. In Malaysia wealth is dominated by political party through government mega projects and tenders. Tenders and projects are awarded to the individuals that come from dominant party.
9. There is open tender system to uphold transparencies and good governance but then, those who are awarded the big project are not publicized. Most of the tenders are awarded to the politician families and cronies. We now can enjoy lost from PKFZ and Bakun.
10. We have several GLC (Government Link Companies) and most of them are controlled by politician buy putting their family members as directors and chairman. That is why PERWAJA and MAS are badly hit by bandits and thieves. Maybe they are bankrupts because of taxes they have to pay to the government.
11. Government has a policy to ensure wealth is well distributed to those who do not know how to manage business but it doesn’t serve it purpose because the policy is used to abuse the people who should benefited from it.
12. We will never see an “economic harmony” in our country as long as our statesmen and stateswomen are corrupted. There will always be a barrier between the rich and the poor even though we are aiming a total zero poverty. What ever system that is apply to distribute equal wealth and good living; it will never work if there are people who abuse it.

New Kids in Town
1. I heard a "rumors" that "Makkal Sakhti" is now registered legally and going to join ruling coalition soon. Najib was so very exited to adopt another new breed in coalition and claimed that it is a 1 Malaysia concept. Somehow, how many Indians will going to join the new force. Are they forgetting an old man in Sungai Siput who fought for the Indian right? Now, how is MCA? Will it be a symbol of hatred to the Indians. I see the Indians have no intention to be as what they claimed. United Indian or Indian League. I see Indian in MCA and UMNO as well. Not my fault, it 1 Malaysia concept actually. The concept really work well.
2. I heard Adit is going to form new kind of "party" after years of frustration and erection of power. It is called "Pakatan Rakyat Malaysia" party and the number of new members is yet to be known. I see it as another place to hide by Tiong if he join the "pakatan" and forever Tiong is a man of scandal. Whatever scandals they are, Tiong is still a corrupted Kuala Dimensi's CEO. I get to understand now that SPDP was fed by corrupted money. Whatever they are. Money is money and it does not concern with where it comes from as long as it knows where to go.
3. The Dayak has not yet awaken by the way they behave and think. There are political leaders and millionaire among them but yet there is still cloud of sick and sorrow in the state ruled by Jabu and his dayak fellows. Whoever join the new party they are still cannot resist money politics, corruption, greedy, gluttony and other sins. We have seen several downfall of the Dayak politic. Maybe, the new party will unite the Dayak and the others but Masing does not love Larry and that is why PRS is kicking their own ball. The new party? We better wait and see.
4. "Change we must". I see them in Dayak Weblogs. Well, I would like to say "Think before we Change" We cannot change if we are lazy to think and taking thing for granted. Whatever they are. Let us welcome the new kids in town.
