Entri PERTAMA: UMNO says”Ketuanan Melayu” must stay.

Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony

“I am writing this article because I deeply felt that this is an unfair statement to Dayak. The New Economic Policy created “bumiputera” and yet this word has not benefited Dayak. There are various reason to this unfair interpretation of “bumiputera”. The Dayak being the “natives of Sabah and Sarawak” is treated differently from the Malay Muslim category. And Malay is a race that is defined by the constitution and that definition has been abused by individual and politician who took advantage of the Malay definition to strengthen their own support and economic rights. It is NOT uncommon to see a person proclaiming himself to be a Malay but his physical “colors” is way off from that of an indigenous Malay. Yet, they get preference over the natives who are the pre-bumi. Meaning they do not need to be a Muslim to be a bumiputera.

This topic is touchy - the Dayak suffered because of Ketuanan Melayu policies and even though they are under bumiputera category they are not given their dues. Why?”

Entri KEDUA: Going to War is an option for Dayak in Sarawak

Written by: Dr. John Brian Anthony

“I hope Dayakbaru don’t think that this article is war mongering. This article is to alert the Dayak of the possibility of countering evil with evil. The BN Government has done sinister things to Dayak and that include the Dayak leaders in BN who has allowed matters going from bad to worst for the Dayak in Sarawak.

The swelling in numbers of Dayak seeking employment in Malaya is picking up momentum as the Sarawak State Government has nothing beneficial to offer them but instead marginalize the Dayak community through land grab and for championing politics of suppression. The numbers of Dayak living in squatters areas in major towns of Sarawak is also growing. This is a sure sign of poor hard living in the rural areas. The social ills that include prostitution, drug taking, gambling and uncontrolled drinking has also increased dramatically.BN YBs are buying liquor and beer much like the white settlers giving hard liquor to the Red Indian in America a century back in order to control them, to stop them from thinking and encouraging them to be a no brainer and take away their rights and their land.”

Petikan di atas menunjukkan pandangan yang berbeza ― kali ini sudut pandangan seorang Dayak.  Petikan pertama ialah pandangan berbeza seorang Dayak bahawa sesungguhnya “Dasar Ekonomi Baru (NEP) yang telah mencipta kelompok bumiputera tapi tidak memberikan manfaat kepada kaum Dayak walaupun mereka juga Bumiputera.”

Sementara petikan KEDUA pula jauh lebih keras dan cukup...menakutkan.

Apakah yang bersarang dalam kepala ketika membaca dua sampel tulisan Dayakbaru ini? 

Bagi kita ― paling tidak, kita tertanya-tanya:

i) Ke mana perginya mesej muluk-muluk tentang Malaysia aman-makmur  yang ke udara dan diudarakan selama bertahun-tahun kita wujud sebagai satu bangsa ― Bangsa Malaysia merdeka itu?  Kalaulah benar kita semua (rakyat Malaysia) begitu asyik sekali mengecapi nikmatnya madunya ‘aman, makmur Malaysia merdeka’  kenapakah wujud suara-suara yang seperti ini?  Di manakah salah dan silapnya kita selama ini?   

ii) Apakah selama ini, setelah lebih 50 tahun kita merdeka tak ada sebarang tanda-tanda bahawa ada sekelompok rakyat yang tersangat resah, marah dan kecewa?

iii) Kita berpendapat bahawa siapa saja yang memerintah Malaysia selepas PRU 13 nanti,  bakal berdepan dengan harapan sekelompok rakyat yang sangat resah-gelisah dan amat mengharapkan perubahan yang segera pula.  Sebabnya cukup mudah, mereka sudah terlalu lama menunggu dan menaruh harapan.  Dan  bukanlah suatu tanggungjawab yang mudah untuk mengurus kekecewaan yang bertumpuk-tumpuk dan harapan yang menggunung seperti ini.  Ini bermakna para pemimpin politik era pasca PRU 13 mestilah jenisnya brand yang gagah bekerja keras, benar-benar ikhlas dan sentiasa peka terhadap nasib rakyat yang yakin bahawa merekalah rakyat yang selama ini terpinggir dan dipinggirkan itu.   

Sesungguhnya,  ikhtiar ― yang segera dan sementara ― buat memabukkan mereka;  seperti janji-janji dan habuan segera tak lagi mampu memadamkan sekam yang sekian lama menyala-nyala itu.  Dan demi masa depan negara yang benar-benar sejahtera, kita yakin dan percaya, bahawa sesungguhnya Malaysia memerlukan perubahan.

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT “JANJI DEMOKRASI” PADA 30 OGOS 2012 NANTI.
