Bidayuh - The Second Class Community?

There will still be devt: Manyin
By Yu Ji, The Borneo Post Press (Sunday, 18 May 2008)

The Bidayuh community happy with government; we have nothing to protest, says minister

KUCHING: Whether or not the Bidayuh community gets a federal cabinet appointment does not matter as there will always be development, assured Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) vice president Datuk Michael Manyin yesterday.

“It does not mean that when you get a minister appointed, you will definitely get development,” the minister said.

“Actually, this time the (Sarawak) Malay community also does not have a full minister, yet they did not protest, so why should we protest?”

He was responding to a press report Thursday which noted that none of the Bidayuh assemblyman delivered any speech during the last State Legislative Assembly sitting.

Some thought the absence of a ‘Bidayuh speech’ was a silent protest against the lack of federal ministerial appointments.

Manyin, who is state Environment and Public Health Minister, also reiterated that the federal cabinet was the prerogative of the prime minister.

Added Manyin: “The Bidayuh community is happy with the government. We have nothing to protest. It is not true at all to say we are protesting.”

Furthermore, the Bidayuh leader said two assemblymen had prepared speeches but were just not able to deliver them.

“Kedup assemblyman Frederick Bayoi Manggie had prepared a 31-page speech but was unfortunately not feeling well. He was suffering from gout and diarrhoea.

“Another was (Opar assemblyman) Ranum (Mina) who prepared a speech, but he did not have the time to deliver,” Manyin said.

On a related issue, the minister was asked if more Bidayuh elected representatives would be appointed to the state cabinet, following a rumoured reshuffle soon.

“That, we have no clue. At this point, we don’t even know if there will be a reshuffle, so whatever people say is just based on guesses.”

Manyin was speaking to reporters after opening the annual Natural Resources and Environment Board (NREB) sports day.
**************************************************************************************

I think I am the only Bidayuh who protest how the BN has made us as the 2nd class community. Well, maybe I am wrong. Tun Jugah had never deserved any post in the Parliament because he was well-fed by Tunku Abdul Rahman before the formation of Malaysia. Stephen Kalong Ningkan was then being slaughtered by the PANAS, PESAKA, and BARJASA because he wanted to continue to be the Chief Minister of Sarawak. James Wong was then sent to ISA detention camp because SNAP has beheaded the Malay and Melanau. Did SNAP really commit it? Then there was a plot to sack the Dayak from the political arena.

What development that we have had under the BN with 5% oil and timber royalty from the federal government? Gravel, dusty roads, dark villages, undeveloped schools are the promised development from the government. Tiki was then being made a deputy minister but the Bidayuh is still undeveloped. Yes, I agree with Manyin and he made a right statement. The Bidayuh must toil as hard as they can to survive and let the government runs itself. But, what is the point to vote if there is no representative? There are many issues that we should settle down with the corrupted BN. In facts, the Bidayuh is marginalized because there is no representative for them. There was some but they were intimidated with NEP and special rights of the Malay.

I was challenge by some of the reader of tbsbidayuh blog to contest on the 2011 poll. Well, I am not stupid and idiot and that is my stand. I will use this blog to fight for the people and not to look for fame and wealth. I just can wait for my digicam to be delivered and perhaps there will be more undeveloped road and school to be aired soon. Soon, the Bidayuh will realize why they are marginalized and made to be idiot. (oooop! Someone will get mad). Why should those fellow Bidayuh try to shut me out while they are talking big? “Siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas”. The best they can do is to mock and undermine a tiny blogger like me. Oh friend, you are in the wrong track.

Let talk about development and representation again. Four villages will be chased down to the new settlement (Kampung Tun Abdul Razak) with RM 10K compensation. That is a great development to the Naim Cendera and the other cronies. Now, development will be paid by the Bidayuh fear to the great white hair. The running dogs (someone will get mad too) will only listen to Taib Mahmud and that is why Bidayuh does not need any representative in the Parliament. Bidayuh MP should never make their way to Peninsular so that their corruption and cronyism work will never get heard by Pak Lah. To say yes to Taib mean that there will be more money for the Bidayuh or his Bidayuh cronies.

I passed through one of the JKR quarry in Kuching area and was shocked to see that it is now belong to CMS Sdn. Bhd. Wow!! Someone is sucking every resources before God call him to be back home. What’s next? Will there gonna be a bald mountain before the judgment day? What Bidayuh MP has to do with this new development plan? How much they have earned form every inch of oil palm estate while the land is belonged to them? Development? What development?

Silent revolt is not needed anymore since we do not belong to the government that we have chosen. We do not need a weak government and revolt is needed because we are no more to be called “lakia” by SUPP and ants by PBB. Why should we scared of Taib since he is not god or “chai tsen tau” (the goddess of wealth). Make it enough for we have seen the downfall of the Bidayuh in SNAP and please bear in mind that PBB is the ultimate killer of the Dayak.

“The Bidayuh community is happy with the government. We have nothing to protest. It is not true at all to say we are protesting.”

The Bidayuh is not happy. Please do not tell any lie here.

What do the Bidayuh need? Full minister in the state cabinet. There are few of YBs represent the bidayuh community in the Sarawak state government. Please do not compare them to Iban community because the iban is bigger than bidayuh. This is my humble opinion.

TBS, I think you are telling a lot of fictitious lies in your blog, and I am sure at some point or another you are tell lies and you continue to do so in almost all the sentences you wrote.

I doubt whether you have ever traveled across the Bidayuh heartland and witnessed the transformation that has taken place. I know you are staying in a remote Tibiya kampong. Try to recall the situation 20 years ago when you were a kid at SK Kambug, and also when you were a student at SMK Padawan. You kampong might not have seen such transformation because of the remoteness of your kampong. Who is to be blamed for the remoteness of you Kampong? Do you blame Datuk Michaeal Manyin,Datuk Dr. James Dawos and Dr. Jerip/Roland Sagah as your representative who you referred as the 'running dog for the Chief Minister.' This is 'the blame culture mentality' and the sickness that the community is facing. We blamed almost everybody because of the thing that we don't have in the community. Have you ever been to the other part of the state and see what is lacking there. I have worked in many other divisions in Sibu, Sarikei, Mukah, Miri and even in Limbang. I have traveled far and near.

I have seen the transformation that they are taking place surrounding our back yard. But development does not comes easy, it has to come with prices and also resistances from the stakeholders. Stakeholders like you will make it very difficult for the people to develop the Bidayuh area. People like you will not want the Dam to be built in Bengoh. People like you will not want the affected villagers from Kampong Sait, Kampong Rejoi, Semban and kampong Bojong to be resettled because they will lose their cultural heritage. But look, if the dam is not developed these poor guys will remain in the kampongs and will not be able to progress in tandem with the other community.

You seemed to condemned almost every body, from the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister and also our local YBs. This is the blaming culture that rots the community. You blame Datuk Micheal Manyin and the YBs for not speaking in the DUN. And also when Datuk Micheal Manyin for saying that he does not know about the cabinet reshuffle.

My friend, you may think that Datuk Micheal doesnot know how to play his card. He is smart politicians. He is the most hard working Bidayuh politician that I have ever known in this 21st century. He knows all the kampongs in his constituency. He has traveled to most villages in the Bidayuh heartland. But, he does not control the resources. We are living in a multiracial society.

The Malays are the king maker of Sarawak politics. Look at how many constituencies that the Bidayuh have. We have only THREE parliamentary seats and SIX DUN seats.

There were no Malays appointed by the Prime Minister to the cabinet except for Douglas Uggah, who is an Iban from Betong. The Malays keep silent. Probably the Bidayuh should emulate the Malays since the Malays have numbers and remain silent. Do you remember the famous maxim "silence is golden" and "empty tin makes the most noise." To the Bidayuh leaders, they might think that it is of no point to 'have all the huh hah' and yet nothing is being done. It is just like you claiming the the Bidayuh leaders are traitors. The point I want to make it that they are not as what you think. They are in a dilemma, because they have to put their party interest first. They cannot afford to fight with everybody in the party just for the sake of the few. Datuk Micheal Manyin is not a Minister of the Bidayuh, but the Minister for the whole state of Sarawak. Thus he may not be able to articulate the interest of just a few.

But, if you are brave enough, come 2011, I repeat, pick any of the state seat and try your luck. And if you wind, you have the avenue to implement of what you preach in your blog. I want to see whether you can fare better than those 'running dog' that you condemned day in and day out in your blog.

Happy gawai semba-i. Abah maya, aku ngancak akam mari kampung bigawai. Nyihup taye.

"Stakeholders like you will make it very difficult for the people to develop the Bidayuh area."
It's not difficult if Taib honestly tell the Bidayuh that he just want to use, exploit Bidayuh as easy prey and hand Naim Cendera RM30m free profits from the RM300m dam project. By divide and rule the Bidayuh YBs/leaders it's easier for Taib to implement his deed according to his whim and fancy. Of course Dawos will say it as non-issue in pretext to solve Kuching's long-term water supply. How convenient and hands off. Just f*ck it off.

"But look, if the dam is not developed these poor guys will remain in the kampongs and will not be able to progress in tandem with the other community."
Poor guys indeed, very poor. They're far from receiving development so far that it doesn't matter to them anymore.
Carry a new cupboard, furnitures, cements for 6 hours? F*ck it off.
Carry some school rations for 50cent per kilo for their stone-age prehistoric missionary school? Fuck it off.
How about some RM100m bridges spanning from Bengoh to Sait? Hah, Yong Khoon Seng can still sit his ass comfortably as Works Ministry prick cunt till now while those Sait guys dwelling breaking their back? F*ck it off.
Mind to tell Naim to give back their RM30m profits from their crook-up RM300m Bengoh dam project for their resettlement cost? F*ck it off.
Of all the places why choose Bengoh for that dam site? F*ck it off.


"The Malays are the king maker of Sarawak politics. Look at how many constituencies that the Bidayuh have. We have only THREE parliamentary seats and SIX DUN seats."
That's just perfect for Taib to divide-and-rule all of us Dayaks, don't you think? Ok, f*ck it off.

"There were no Malays appointed by the Prime Minister to the cabinet except for Douglas Uggah, who is an Iban from Betong. The Malays keep silent. Probably the Bidayuh should emulate the Malays since the Malays have numbers and remain silent."
Appointment for the sake of 'symbolic reasons' is just total shame. Sounds like Dayaks are just a museum item, ready to be exhibited. Maybe it's true that some monkey would be very happy to settle for few peanuts. F*ck it off.

"But, if you are brave enough, come 2011, I repeat, pick any of the state seat and try your luck."
By telling Tbs to contest just to justify your intelligence over Tbs point? Don't tell me by travelling all over the state you never pick some bitch to uphold your sex abstinence? F*ck it off.

The second anonymous said "... They are in a dilemma, because they have to put their party interest first. They cannot afford to fight with everybody in the party just for the sake of the few."

If Bidayuh YBs put party interest first, then Bidayuh community will slow die. No Bidayuh YB will fight for their community unless they want to upset their party president. So sad.
