Congratulation.

It’s good to hear that TYT has awarded medal to our political and “non-political” leaders during his Birthday on Saturday. As I gone through the line-up list, I saw several names that familiar to me. The best award gone to Najib though. He is top of the list.

I am proud to have many Dayak “Dato” as he have less before. My congratulation goes to YB Dato Peter Nansian as our new Dato. SPDP is now has plenty of Dayak “Dato” and hope that this political party will strive more to fight for the Dayak right. Not forgettable, to Ik Pahon too as he deserve to be awarded for his hard works and contribution.

We have a lot of Dato’ and Dato Seri around and this is a good sign for Dayak’s politic. We are well served by our leaders although there are some issues have not yet settled. Nevertheless, we have to understand that the issues are well handled but it needs time to resolve. This including the NCR land issue which never pass-through CM’s ears and civil right of the aborigines. These Dato’ worked very hard to cater this issue so that nobody feels discriminated and side-lined.

SPDP congratulated YB Peter Nansian on one page in Sarawak Tribune yesterday. Somehow, I have not seen the “track-of-record” owned by SPDP in Bidayuh’ constituency. Some might assume that this could be a simply jealous statement but what is title for if there is no any record and competency performed? I fell well as there is no any Bollywood actor awarded on that day. Who knows, Salman Khan could be in the list as the Sarawak’s civil right activist.

We hope that there will be more YB to be awarded so that the Dayak will be well known in the BN political agenda. Some people told me that “Dato” is a prosperous title where you can get government tender and grant.

Finally, congratulation once again to those who are awarded. May the title be used to uphold the Dayak’s dignity and triumph.

Dato and Datukship are titles to acknowledge the person's role for his community and the society. But what and how deep is the influence of the bestowed person. How and in what way has the person helped community specifically? Is the "Dato /Datuk there when his /her community is abused and bullied. Will this Dato/Datuk be brave to speak out for the community or be dumb and play stupid to retain the bestowed title and lobby for a higher title. Yes,we see alot of our Dayaks being given honounable titles and I hope they used these positions to uplift the community. This title comes with bigger responsiblity to the community and society at large. Salute!!!!!!

You can get Datukship for RM25K, very easy. Just like you buy your Phd also got Dr. title. For being a playboy also got Dato' title. The idea of titles is just a joke fit for a clown circus.

Itu Dato' yang jenis ini takdak duit punya lah! Ingat senang kah pakai itu title??? Setiap kali function saja ada mesti orang jemput sebab orang (kampong) ingat yang Dato'-Dato' ni semua berduit! Time berkara-OK, mulalah orang kampong kasi sponsor Dato'-Dato' untuk bernyanyi dengan harapan supaya Dato'-Dato' ni akan segera kasi siugn cheque pembangonan... Tapi habok pun tarak!

Apa macam itu Dato' Dawos???
