He made this statement during a speech in Putrajaya and pledged that he would not permit any minister, including himself, to engage in corrupt practices as long as he remains in power.

  > Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim refuted claims that he is subservient to any party or individual. He responded to assertions made by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who alleged that the government is beholden to the DAP due to their significant representation in Parliament. Anwar asserted his position as the Prime Minister, stating that he is not controlled by anyone and emphasized that he is not a puppet to anyone's influence.

  Tok Mudin, A retiree government servant from Betong

  *Is Sarawakian Comfort Under the Current Administration Hindering Progress by GPS Government?*

  A few days ago Puan Asiah abd Jalil posted on FB provoking the people of Sabah and Sarawak. According to Asiah, if placed to work in Sabah or Sarawak, he would resign within 24 hours. Because Sabah/Sarawak remains poor even after 60 years together in Malaysia, lacking basic facilities, it is difficult to plan a career, plan a family and raise children. For Tok Mudin, what Mrs. Asiah said is the reality in Sarawak. In the main urban centers in Sarawak there are indeed facilities. But 20 kilometers from the city center has seen poverty, poor schools, dilapidated clinics, long houses/villages with no telephone/internet facilities. If this is the case, how do you plan to continue studying? How will children excel in their studies, asked Tok Mudin. Mudin also questioned why the number of specialist teachers in Sarawak is so low. At MRSM Betong for example, almost all teaching staff are junior staff. Betong Hospital still fails to manage births (for mothers aged 35 and over) due to the absence of a specialist doctor, even though it is only 3 hours from Kuching city and 3 hours from Sibu city. Betong Hospital is only able to give basic medicines such as Paracetamol. For Mudin. What Mrs. Asiah said was intended to make the people of Sarawak aware not to depend too much on peninsular Malaysia. Sarawakians should not blame others. But you have to question why the country itself remains poor. Is it because the people of Sarawak are too comfortable under the current administration? Tok Mudin's question.

  *Assisting Stateless Children: Ensuring Equal Access to Education and Identity Documentation*

  Recently, Chiew's team provided assistance to a Chinese family in handling the necessary documents for their stateless child's enrollment in school, which included proof of parental guardianship.

  As a representative of PKR Miri, Chiew actively communicated and coordinated with relevant departments and official organizations to ensure the application was processed correctly. The aim of assisting the family with these documents is to help them address their education-related issues, enabling their child to enroll smoothly and access educational opportunities.

  Chiew highlighted that cases of individuals without identity cards are prevalent in rural areas, but they also occur in cities, often due to issues with parents' marriage certificates or a lack of identification for one parent.

  Chiew pledged to continue dedicating efforts to providing assistance to families in need, with the goal of ensuring every child can enjoy equal rights to education. Recognizing the crucial role of education in children's growth and development, Chiew expressed the hope that every child can achieve their dreams. For individuals experiencing difficulties with identity card applications, Chiew remains readily available to offer assistance.

  *Vote out the party that cause corruption from GLC*

  On statement by Muhiddyn. As all Unity govt now also appointing politicians to GLC posts. With that Muhiddyn also will appoint politicians from his party if they win in the coming election in all 6 states.

  Bersih in the opinion that, first that is misuse of power. Secondly, this is wrong in term management.

  As a govt, our job is to protect as we have a trust to properties or funds or any national resources for the people.

  So, GLC is a government link companies and not personal company. Where you can make use of the resources to pay your people's salaries. Where they have no drill and expertise as à Chairman or Director of these companies. This is public funds. Most of these companies are not small companies. They are responsibility to millions of transaction of properties.

  So we need a person that has skill and expertise qualify to be appointed to take care all of these. And not politicians. Thus i would like to remaind Tan Sri Muhiddyn, that GLC is not à politicians ATM.

  We want a clear procèss and indépendance body that the appointed person has qualify skill and expertise as a Chairman or Director in GLC. But currently no. All are depand on winner party. Same goes to Unity Govt. The public must stop this culture

  That is why we always impersise that correct method of appointement of GLC.

  Vote out the party that cause corruption from GLC

  *Political Disharmony in Sarawak: BN's Invitation for GPS to Campaign in Six States may have Hidden Motive?*

  Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has expressed his hope that leaders from GPS will assist coalition members during the upcoming state elections in Peninsular Malaysia. Ahmad Zahid, who is also the chairman of BN, has proposed inviting GPS leaders to share their experiences of political stability in Sarawak during the campaign period. He believes that the political stability in Sarawak can provide valuable lessons for the election machinery in the six states. While Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof previously stated that GPS would not directly participate in the state elections outside of Sarawak, Ahmad Zahid still hopes for their support.

  Mr. Romuald Siew stated that there are hidden motives behind the Deputy Prime Minister's call to the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) to assist in the State Election Campaign (PRN) in six states in Peninsular Malaysia. The statement that this action aims to emulate political stability in Sarawak is untrue because Pakatan Harapan (PH) is still the opposition, and opposition members of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (Adun) have not been provided with allocations by the GPS government to develop their constituencies. This indicates a lack of political harmony in Sarawak and is perceived as biased. UMNO and GPS have been together for a long time, so it is certain that there are hidden political agendas that are not good behind this.

  Richard Engan community activist from Mulu

  *PMX Must Take Resolute Action Against Corruption, Including Government Officials*

  Malaysia's Tourism, Arts, and Culture Minister, Tiong King Sing, personally intervened to assist an employee of a China-based media company who was denied entry by immigration officers at KLIA. The woman, a personal assistant to a senior official of a Chinese government-owned TV station, alleged that she was asked to pay a significant amount of money to be allowed entry, despite having valid travel documents. Tiong contacted the MACC and visited KLIA with their officers to investigate the matter. The immigration officers claimed there was a language barrier and it was a misunderstanding. The women's mobile phones were also seized by the immigration officers. The personal assistant was eventually allowed to enter the country after Tiong's intervention. This incident was not the first time Tiong had intervened in such matters. An investigation has been initiated regarding allegations that the minister caused a commotion at KLIA.

  Richard praised the brave actions of the Minister of Tourism, arts and culture - Tiong king sing, who exposed the corruption that took place among the KLIA immigration staff. He wanted Tiong's allegations to be investigated in detail. But Richard was surprised by Anwar Ibrahim's PMX comments as reported by Malaysiakini today. "PM: It is inappropriate to give the impression that there is damage in immigration. According to Anwar, the majority of officers at KLIA carry out their duties well and only a small number are still with the old practices."

  According to Richard, PMX should support Tiong's statement and should even be more assertive. Asked whether PMX's action was because of fear of losing support from civil servants in the elections in 6 states? According to Richard, if PMX is still doubtful and hesitant to take firm action against public officials who are involved in corruption, this will cause the reform agenda to be delayed.

  Richard suggested that all Ministers take strict action against those who practice excessive bureaucracy (in all government agencies) with the aim of receiving bribes/bribery. According to Richard, a firm and trustworthy leader will get the support of the voters.

  *Sarawak PH leader backs Tiong over KLIA incident*

  Alan praised Tiong's actions as brave and well-intentioned. Tiong wants to find the real cause of the problem related to the entry of foreigners into Malaysia. According to Alan, the Government should admit that there is indeed a problem that so many foreigners enter Malaysia and millions of foreigners do not leave Malaysia. Perhaps what we know now is only a small part of the real problem. Alan praised PMX for being willing to go into the field and see and hear for himself the problems facing the immigration department. Although PMX states that only a small part may be involved in old practices (corruption), but according to Alan- this small amount will damage the whole system if not curbed.

  Peter Kallang, Chairman of SaveRivers

  *Malaysia's Commitment to SDGs and the Potential of Floating Solar Panels for Sustainable Energy Generation*

  In 2015, the United Nations set 17 SDG goals and aims to achieve them by 2030. Malaysia is one of the countries that agreed to sign compliance with the SDGs. In short, the 17 goals; Zero poverty, zero hunger, good health systems, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, clean and affordable energy, responsible consumption and disposal, life in water and on land, peace/justice and shared goals.

  From Peter's observation, less than 20% of this goal was achieved in Baram, Hulu Rajang and Kapit parliaments. These areas are located in the interior and are active logging and plantation areas. Therefore, there is much more that the Malaysian government should do to achieve this goal. Related to reuters report dated 27 June 2023. Malaysia, through SEB plans to install floating solar panels at 3 main dams - Bakun, Murum and Batang AI. This according to Peter is a good idea. Because solar energy is much cleaner than coal or hydro. Although there are still issues related to solar batteries. Not only the installation of floating solar on dams but also on buildings that require a lot of energy consumption should be accelerated.

  *The voters are always victim of broken promise*

  Sarawak aims to complete the construction of some 5,000 kilometres (km) of new roads connecting various villages and scattered settlements in the interior areas before 2030, said Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas.

  Bill Jugah comment that, 7 years time to complete 5,000 km road, we are given 70 percents from allocation of 6.8 billions for rural development, meaning it is 4.9 billions. What he knows for 5,000 km, whereby cost for per km is aproximate 4 mill to 12.5 mill. This source is from tvs Website. Another 1200 roads which is pending for implemention which are support to link to 182 settlements of the Indigenous peoples. This is a huge challenge to our state govt.

  For 5,000 km roads by 2030, he dont know what to say, to believe or not. The voters are always victim of broken promise. This what the voters always complained. Regardless of which party govt of the day, the very first thing they should implement is building the roads, water and electricity supply, now plus Internet. These are the basic. We also need these four element for our income like business. Especially for oil palm small holders, even factory if no road also affected

  *GPS, do you know that others are laughing at Sarawak's backwardness*

  there is a statement wrote by netizen from Peninsular, expresses a negative view of Sabah and Sarawak as places for pursuing a career, raising a family, and experiencing a challenging life. It highlights the perceived lack of development and progress in the two states despite their abundant resources. The statement suggests that sending civil servants from Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah and Sarawak is seen as a form of punishment, and emphasizes the reliance on individuals from Peninsular Malaysia to fill job positions in the two states. The statement concludes by questioning the viability of Sabah and Sarawak's survival without sufficient qualified individuals and discourages discussions about secession from Malaysia.

  Many netizens from East Malaysia feel angry about this article, seeing it as a form of disrespect. However, Marcus Hugo states that if this is true, then the Sarawak GPS government should reflect on why there has been no progress in development despite 60 years of development, and why people from Peninsular Malaysia have such perceptions about East Malaysia. He argues that the underdevelopment of East Malaysia is an undeniable fact, and while the GPS claims to allocate funds for development, there is a lack of tangible action. As a result, people from East Malaysia are forced to leave their hometowns to seek employment or pursue education in other cities.

  Mr Robert share to RFS that he is disappointed with the statement made by Minister John Sikie Tayai, which states that the term "Dayak" should not necessarily be used exclusively with Hari Gawai, as for decades Hari Gawai Dayak has been used in Sabah and Sarawak to symbolize the celebration of various ethnic groups in Sarawak such as the Iban, Bidayuh, and Orang Ulu as a harvest festival.

  John Sikie Tayai is a Deputy Minister in the Chief Minister's Department (Law and Native Custom of Sarawak), A leader should not touch the term "Dayak" and should respect it.

  *PAS stop dragging/using Islam for their political interests *

  The heat of the election campaign in 6 states is getting felt even though the EC has not announced the official date of the election. Today the president of the PAS Party issued a statement that those who use the brand "green wave" to describe the victory of the PAS Party are trying to sow Islamophobia. And Hadi said Islamic administration through PAS shows PAS as a party with integrity. For Iswardy PAS is the party with the least integrity. PAS party leaders have lost the most in defamation lawsuits and a few days ago PAS's victory in the Kuala Terengganu Parliament was annulled due to corruption and money/vote-buying politics. How can Hadi say PAS Party is the party with the most integrity?. Iswardy's question. As for the issue - PAS's victory is Islamophobia. Iswardy questioned since when PAS is a reflection of Islam. PAS is not a party that represents Islam. Iswardy asked that PAS stop dragging/using Islam for their political interests. Therefore, Iswardy asked PAS leaders to emulate Khairuddin Aman Razali (former PAS leader who joined UMNO). Razali today issued a statement, each party should campaign prudently and present the policies and advantages of their respective parties, stop using the term enemy of God and label those who are not the same party as going to hell. Razali is an example of those who have realized that PAS is a party of religious fanatics.

  Mr. Bonny, from Bintulu

  struggling on managing IC for children

  Mr Bonny a father of two, is extremely stressed about managing the identification process for both of his children. His first child is currently studying in Year 2 and needs to pay an annual fee of RM120 at the Bintulu education office. This issue arises from his wife, who lacks citizenship documents while being originally from the indigenous Iban community in Sarawak. It was a heartbreaking experience for them when their child was born at a government hospital, as they were charged up to 8,000 RM for the delivery. They had to plead for a reduction in the payment rate. Despite submitting the application forms, they have yet to receive any response from the National Registration Department regarding their wife's IC (Identity Card) application.

  The reason behind his wife's lack of identification documents since birth is that both of her parents passed away when she was still a baby. This has made it extremely difficult for her to establish her own citizenship. Additionally, the community leader has not been supportive, adding to their struggles.

  Dolah Tekoi, chairman of JPOAJ

  Johor Orang Asli object to land enactment to Sultanate Land

  Based on the Malaysiakini report, Indigenous communities are unhappy with the Johor Orang Asli Village Network (JPOAJ) protesting the proposal to convert their land into Sultanate Land. The demonstration occurred in front of the Johor Chief Minister's Office on May 8th. The representative of Tok Batin Kampung Orang Asli Kemidak, Hadi Baya, clarified that JPOAJ's actions do not represent the approximately 20,000 indigenous people in the state.

  Dolah, Firstly we ought to understand 2 issues.

  First, who is Hadi Baya to make that particular statement. He is just a son to one of thé Tok Batin in Kpg Kemidak. 90 percents of residents of Kpg Kemidak support JPOAJ . Only Hadi's is not supporting JPOAJ due jis fâcher will loose his post and allowance. Hadi is not representing the villages, but merely his own familly.

  Secondly on land issue. JPOAJ is not against the Ruler. We only object to land enacment to sultanate land. We have several times applied to have dialogue with state govt but rejected all our request. Also apllied to meet up with PM Annuar Ibrahim but we told that his schedules are tight. We just want Federal govt to discuss with state govt on our demand. They should have held a meeting right away with NGOs, Orang Asli expert after our rally . The state JAKOA just kept silent. It is obvious that they want Orang Asli land under sultanate land

  We will not just stop here. What we need now is to have dialogue with govt. There are four issues in land ennactment.

  The most dangerous in section 2, that says, all lands classify under sultanate lands are rightfull of the Ruler. So Orang Asli have no more right.

  *GPS need STOP announcing projects without master plan*

  At the closing of the Gawai Dayak festival in Sepauh Betong last week. Sarawak Deputy Premier Unggah Embas announced the allocation of RM60 million to develop Sepauh. John thinks it's time to stop the practice of announcing allocations but no details, what projects will be implemented. Such an act is only to attract attention. When Alfred Jabu was still the Deputy Premier of Sarawak. Jamu once announced that it will build a university in Betong and build an agricultural research and development station in Betong. But until the end of Jabu's political life. What Jabu said did not happen.

  John asked the people not to be deceived by promises/announcements that are not accompanied by a master plan. John thinks the majority of Sarawak politicians are not efficient at work, they have crony contractors and most of the projects are in ALIBABA right (get contacts but don't implement, only ask for commissions from contractors). This is the reason why Sarawak remains poor.

  John suggested that all Divisions in Sarawak should have a master plan to guide development. Not just according to what YB said.

  Chris, independent Journalist from Sarawak

  *If Taib is healthy just show up*

  Astana Negeri Sarawak, the official residence of the Governor of Sarawak, has filed a police report regarding the spread of fake news about the health of Governor Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud. The report was lodged by Peter Sibon, the Press Secretary to the Governor, at the Gita Police Station. Peter stated that he trusts the authorities to investigate the matter and put an end to the dissemination of false information. The fake news included claims that the Governor was unwell, sick, or even deceased. The origin of the fake news remains unknown, and the police will be responsible for determining its source through an investigation. The Governor's private secretary, Junih Salleh Ahmad, previously issued a statement affirming that Abdul Taib is in good health and dismissing all rumors regarding his well-being as entirely false and unverified.

  In response to this, Chris expresses confusion and wonders why the Governor doesn't appear in public to prove his good health instead of filing a police report and requesting an investigation into the fake news.

  Chris notes that Taib Mahmud is already of advanced age and that this is not the first time rumors of his critical condition have circulated. In the past, Taib would appear in public to demonstrate his good health when faced with such health-related rumors. However, this time, he has not made a public appearance following the spread of the news.

  Chris acknowledges that the authorities have the right to report cases related to false information, but the people also have the right to be informed about Taib's health. After all, Taib has been in power of the Sarawak politics for many years, possesses multiple large corporations, and has significant political influence. If his health is a cause for concern, it could potentially worry the people of Sarawak regarding its impact on political dynamics and the direction of the corporations under his control.

  Mazerol Way, PKR Youth Leader

  *Include Orang Asli history in school syllabus*

  Pertaining to include Orang Asli history in national education syllabus. One of the reasons that we can see there discrimination compare to other races is very high. The main stream community are not aware the existence of Orang Asli communities. For example in Johore, there are Malay community said they are not aware and never been mentioned the existence of Orang Asli. So this cause cultural shock to main stream community. And such will cause negative impact towards the Orang Asli. And they feel being left behind being a Malaysian.

  The students and as well as youths feel down hearted. This is why the history of the Orang Asli must be included in the education syllabus. The Orang Asli aslo part of the independent struggled.

  We can see the gap in education among the Orang Asli is far way left behind compare to other main stream communities. The main reason is the young people refuse to go to school due to discrimination they faced. Not only by among the students but also among the teachers play a role. We acknowledge that our self determination is low.

  He urges that we as a Malaysians living in multi racial should respect each and every races.

  In 60 yrs of independence we can see that there is no political will from any parties to ensure that the indigenous peoples' rights are taken care of. We also don't see this unity govt to up lifting the rights of the indigenous peoples

  Iswardy Morni, Political Analyst

  *Evaluating Political Parties Based on Efficiency and Fairness, Not Religious Affiliation*

  Leaders of political parties, especially the opposition, have started giving speeches to influence voters who will vote in 6 states in peninsular Malaysia. Iswardy gave an explanation to the voters so as not to get caught up with incorrect views.

  MUDA Party President, Syed Saddiq announced that his party will contest solo against any political bloc that contests. This is to show that the MUDA party is more democratic than other parties. At the same time raising concerns of support/votes for PH and the unity government will split. According to Iswardy, MUDA's view is wrong. The purpose of political parties is to gain power. With power will gain the mandate to rule. If MUDA opposes PH and the unity government. At the same time MUDA also fielded candidates to oppose the opposition bloc. Is there any possibility that MUDA will win and form the administration of the state government. Is doing so MUDA more democratic than any other party? As a political party must obey the discipline of the group we support. Currently MUDA supports PH and the unity government. Does putting a candidate against PH& the unity government show that MUDA is more democratic? Iswardy's question.

  Iswardy believes MUDA is manipulated by certain parties.

  Regarding the PAS party. A PAS speaker gave a speech and prayed that the state should be defended by PAS instead of being overthrown by the enemies of Islam. For Iswardy, this is a very dangerous view and can cause racial tension. Iswardy thinks Allah/God is not hostile to anyone or any political party and elections are only about choosing whichever political party gets the power to rule. All political parties registered with the registrar of organizations (ROS) are certified to carry a healthy ideology. Therefore, a party that is too religiously fanatical like this should be rejected by Iswardy's supporters.

  Iswardy advised voters to think rationally when listening to political talks and make the right choice when voting. As long as any government in a state carries out its duties efficiently, fairly and with trust. That should be a voter's consideration, not a matter of his religion.

  Haji Jofree Jaraee, Sarawak PAS Commissioner

  *The GPS Gov Policies Persecuting the People*

  Jofree was saddened to see the residents of Kampung Usahaja Tukau Miri being evicted from the village they had built since 1978. A few days ago the houses of the residents in the village were demolished by bulldozers. They were driven out without adequate compensation and there was no plan to build a settlement for them. For now they are instructed to rent and the project developer (Parabena) will cover the monthly rent of the resident's residence for a year. There is no certainty about the future of the population. It is surprising how many times the residents have requested that they be given a title deed to the land in the village involved. But not served. But when the Parabena company applied for land in the village for the construction of commercial housing. In a short time approved by the Sarawak government. For information, Kampung usahajaya Tukau is located next to Miri airport. Therefore, the developer predicts that they will get extraordinary profits by developing the land involved. Residents are upset because the village area and agricultural land that they have worked on over the years has been confiscated overnight. Residents have tried to ask for help from the representatives of the Sibuti Parliament. But until now there is no effort to help the residents. The residents have also lost in the court hearing.

  *5000KM road build in interior by 2030? Pan Borneo yet to be complete*

  The state government will build 5,000 kilometres of roads to link remote and unconnected longhouses throughout the state by 2030, said Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah.

  As Gabriel Atong always travel to interior areas. If the 5,000 km to be completed by 2030, he feels no confidence. In the past track record we can see when the implement public infrastructure is very slow and many delays. For example of Pan Borneo since the tenure of Fadillah Yusof as a minister of Public work. Announced that road will be completed in first half of 2023. Until now Pan Borneo is yet to be completed.

  The politicians seem not respect people's feelings.

  Especially those in the interior who have been supporting them all the while.

  Where sources of funding come from is not that important but what most important is all the projects must benefit to all the people. As what have been happened is that alot project funding leaking. For example such as project jalan Jiwa Murni so much scandals

  Mr. Tuan from Suai Niah

  *Gov should provide fire extinguisher to every longhouse family*

  Mr Tuan shared about the fire extinguisher project for every family door in his long house, but what is strange is that only the AJKKK know how to operate the fire extinguisher because the AJKKK has been trained in how to put out fires during an emergency. Most of the community the long house does not know how to use it.

  In addition to that, their longhouses were allocated equipment to repair the longhouses at a cost of RM5000 per door by the government with installments charged. But according to Mr. Tuan, the material is seen as not even reaching the value of 5K, because the construction material is needed, some also refuse because they have no income.

  > Zuraida Kamaruddin has been ordered by the High Court to pay RM10 million to PKR for breaching a binding party bond. The court ruled that the bond was valid and Zuraida's claim in the suit was an afterthought. The judgment stated that Zuraida herself had acknowledged that the party had spent over RM10 million on her candidacy during the election, which she cannot retract.

  > Rosmah Mansor is seeking to postpone the July hearing of her appeal to overturn her corruption conviction as well as a 10-year jail sentence and RM970 million fine linked to the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid energy project. Her legal team sought the postponement pending the disposal of a related appeal at the Federal Court.

  > Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil today lambasted the parties behind an edited headline of a news item posted on Facebook that later went viral. He said the original headline, “Jangan guna jentera kerajaan kempen untuk parti politik – Fahmi” (Do not use government machinery to campaign for political parties - Fahmi), used by a Malay daily has been edited with the additional words, “Kami guna takpe” (But we can) by certain quarters.

  Yb Chew Choon Man, PKR MP for Miri

  *Zuraida is a traitor, Must pay 10 million ringgit*

  Chew Choon Man was among the panel of lawyers who sued Zuraida (Former Ampang/PKR MP). During the "Sheraton Move", 11 PKR MPs left the party causing the ruling PH government to be overthrown. One of those 11 is Zuraida.

  During the trial in court, Zuraida's legal team argued that the 10 million claim was too high and extreme.

  However, PKR's lawyers argued that the damage faced by PKR was priceless. PKR has built the party's reputation over 20 years. PKR gave a place and a logo for Zuraida to compete. PKR supplies the election machinery, provides funds and full support. Therefore the claim of 10 million is too small. the loss against PKR is priceless. There are Malaysians who consider the PKR party to be the party that betrayed the people's mandate because of Zuraida and her friends' act of party jumping. Because of Zuraidah's actions, the administration of a kingdom collapsed.

  In court, Zuraidah argued that she won because of her reputation, but GE15 proved that with the lack of support from PKR, she lost so badly that she lost her betting money. According to Choon Man, he and PKR's lawyers have been instructed to hunt down the remaining 10 traitorous frogs. On Friday 23 June 2023. The high court ordered Zuraida to pay RM10 million to PKR for violating the terms of the bond binding her to PKR.

  Residents of Kampung Long Biak, Belaga

  *Illegal Logging happened in Long Biak, Belaga*

  Complaints about illegal logging.

  A villager from Long Biak who did not want to reveal his name told RFS that a logging company entered the village area to log. This logging company uses a very cunning strategy to mislead the villagers. A log road was built a few months ago. But it was decided after the company brought all the heavy equipment into the logging camp. After the tree felling work is completed, the road is resumed and the process of unloading logs to be transported to Bintulu. But yesterday this activity was detected by the residents of Long Biak. They have detained and confiscated the logging camp and asked for consultation. Who is the owner of this logging license is still unknown. However, from unofficial information, the residents believe it is owned by Limbang Maju Jaya Logging Company and their subcontractor KD (don't know the real name, only KD's name is written on their log truck.)

  The residents protested and asked to be paid compensation. Negotiations are still ongoing. According to the residents, the next target area is believed to be the reservoir center and source of water supply for the residents - because there are still many high-quality logs in the area involved. The complainant was worried that the situation would become tense, as some residents were carrying chopsticks. But he hopes this matter will be resolved well.

  Solomon Gau from Ulu Baram

  *We want roads link to City, not only within Village*

  The state government will build 5,000 kilometres of roads to link remote and unconnected longhouses throughout the state by 2030, Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah said. He said the state Ministry of Infrastructure and Port Development is in the final process of identifying these longhouses and villages that are presently not connected by roads.

  Solomon is no stranger to the repetitive promises made by the GPS government. He expresses his frustration that interior residents have been waiting for roads for decades, constantly hearing about plans for road construction and access to water and electricity, only to receive empty promises every time. Solomon points out that the government emphasizes that the 5,000 kilometers of roads are intended for villages without existing road connections, implying that road construction is limited to within the villages themselves. This means that the roads built are restricted to the village areas, and the routes from the villages to the towns remain as logging roads, not included in the government's intended construction plans. He questions the usefulness of such road construction. Solomon explains that while it is beneficial for the roads from the villages to the road junctions to be built, the logging roads from the junctions to the towns remain unchanged. These roads become slippery during the rainy season and covered in sandy layers during the dry season. Solomon states that inland residents have to spend significant amounts on transportation expenses or fuel costs when traveling to and from the towns. Moreover, transporting harvested crops to the towns becomes expensive due to the winding nature of the logging roads, resulting in increased costs for agricultural produce. He urges the GPS government to provide a comprehensive road construction plan instead of hastily building roads within the villages in an attempt to meet the demands of interior residents.

  Jeffrery Ngui, chairman of MUDA Sarawak

  *Sarawak's Development Lag Attributed to State Government Neglect*

  In a Facebook post, an activist lawyer expressed her opinion on Borneo, specifically Sabah and Sarawak. The post has gone viral with 5000-7000 shares. What is interesting about her post is that she stated if she had to work in Sarawak or Sabah, she would resign within 24 hours. She expressed that Sarawak is not a good place to work or live in. There are important points regarding the development lag since the formation of Malaysia, which we agree upon. However, that does not justify belittling the people of Sabah and Sarawak. Sarawak has long contributed to the economic development of the country through resources such as natural gas and petroleum. The diversity of race, religion, and background in Sarawak is a significant pillar for community harmony. In her closing lines, she mentioned that even after 60 years, Sabah and Sarawak are still left behind. Many Borneo people are forced to leave due to the lack of good job opportunities and quality livelihoods. She also stated that many government agencies are not staffed by local people, which she attributes to a lack of quality. As a lawyer and activist, it is unclear why she made these statements without further context or explanation.

  Peter Kallang, Chairman of Save Rivers

  *Contradictory Actions: Samling's Lawsuit Against SAVE Rivers and Praise for their Work - Greenwashing or Genuine Intent?*

  Samling has filed a lawsuit against SAVE Rivers, an environmental organization, focusing on eight articles published on SAVE Rivers' website from June 2020 to March 2021. According to the plaintiffs, these articles contain false statements regarding Samling's efforts to obtain sustainable forestry certification. They are seeking 5 million ringgit in damages and a restraining order against SAVE Rivers and its directors. This lawsuit has faced criticism from 160 organizations, who argue that it is a strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPP) case. They believe that the substantial fine could potentially bankrupt SAVE Rivers and its directors, suggesting an attempt to suppress public criticism.

  However, it has recently Samling posted a photo on their website showcasing the work of SAVE Rivers. The photo is featured in a section titled "Engaging and Supporting Local Communities." Unfortunately, the webpage erroneously claims that all the photos are credited to Samling's staff.

  Peter Kallang, in response to this, has accused Samling of greenwashing. He does not understand the purpose behind Samling's decision to sue SAVE Rivers while simultaneously praising their work.

  Peter Kallang emphasizes that any project involving communities should adhere to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to fulfill sustainable development while ensuring that no one is left behind. According to Kallang, any project that affects communities should also provide benefits to those communities, rather than solely benefiting the companies involved and neglecting societal concerns. He believes that this approach is not aligned with the principles of the SDGs.

  Asraf, Bersih Steering Committee

  *State Governments Should Officially Inform the EC of the Early Dissolution Date of the State Assembly*

  Bersih insists that the uncertainty of the election date is something that burdens and unsettles the public and businesses who are awaiting the announcement of voting day for the state elections (PRN) for six states this year.

  Although BERSIH is aware that there are some Menteri Besar/Chief Ministers who have already approached the Sultan/Yang di Pertua state to get approval for the dissolution of their respective State Legislature (DUN), but until now there are still some who have not officially informed the EC about date of dissolution.

  BERSIH calls for all states to act responsibly by officially informing the EC of the planned dissolution date, either automatically at the end of the term or earlier with the approval of the Palace. This allows the EC to determine the nomination date and voting day immediately because the EC does not need to wait for the dissolution to happen, instead only requiring official notification from the State Government.

  YB Chiew Choon Mun, PKR MP for Miri

  *Affordable Housing Crisis in Miri: High Prices Force Relocation, Calls for Government Intervention*

  Due to soaring housing prices, residents in both urban and suburban areas are finding it increasingly difficult to afford homes. The situation is particularly dire in Tukau, on the outskirts of Miri, where the cost of living has compelled many to relocate, leaving them unable to purchase homes.

  Chiew, suggests that the Sarawak government should take inspiration from the housing policy implemented by the Selangor state government. This policy focuses on providing low-cost flats, enabling financially disadvantaged individuals to own homes with minimal financial burden.

  Chiew further emphasizes the need for the GPS government to regulate construction costs and housing prices in Miri City. Without such intervention, residents of Miri will be burdened with lifelong housing loans without being able to fully enjoy their homes.

  Hj Yahya, Head of UsahaJaya Tukau village Miri

  *Anger Mounts as Compensation Denied and Political Representatives Neglect the People*

  Hj Yahya shared a report with Radio Free Sarawak.

  yesterday he and two other people attended the mention case in Court and he (Hj Yahya) will have a hearing on 05.09.2023.

  According to Hj Yahya, the work of cleaning the area by Land and survey and the developer will still be carried out this Saturday, which is tomorrow. But unfortunately because even one cent of compensation will be given to the people of the village.

  Hj Yahya is very angry with Taib Mahmud's family such as Datuk Raziah who do not care about the fate of the people and are willing to let the people vacate the place without compensation.

  Hj Yahya is also determined to bring the people from Kampung Usaha Jaya Tukau Miri to reject the GPS because their representatives YB Ripin and YB Lukanisman also did not come down to see the people's situation. Hj Yahya will not collude with the GPS leadership in the future.

  *Zero Carbon City by 2030? Abang Jo never discussed it in the State Assemply*

  In the conference "Shape The World Summit 2023 in Kuching on Wednesday. The Premier of Sarawak said - Sarawak is aiming for Kuching to become a Zero Carbon City by 2030. This is all a false hope - said Chong. According to Chong, the issue related to the full use of hydrogen and electricity in the city of Kuching was never discussed in the Sarawak State Assembly. Until now, there is no policy related to the full use of hydrogen and electricity for public use in Kuching. Therefore, the Premier's statement is just to be heard. Chong requested that the Premier devote all his energy and finances to improving the living standards of the people, especially the poor in rural areas. According to Chong, the current price of electric cars is RM180k and hydrogen cars are not yet available in the Malaysian market. How can this dream of Premiere Sarawak become a reality?? - asked Chong. Full focus on improving the standard of living and welfare of the people of Sarawak - CJ Chong.

  *More Dams is only for cronies’ personal interest*

  The 1,285mW Baleh hydroelectric project in Kapit is expected to begin operations by 2028, said Premier Abang Johari Openg. He said construction on the Baleh Dam is currently on schedule for completion within the next three to four years although he did not give the current progress percentage.

  Dam issue has been hot topic long time ago. Started from Batang AI, bakun, murum and Baram. Now come to Baleh dam in kapit.

  Wonder why government still wants more dams. At this stage we have over supply according to capacities. Batang Ai and Bakun dam are operating part of the turbine. So what is the purpose for more dams. Are all these dams needed by the people of sarawak or there is other agendas. Personally I object to dam construction. We have seen dams caused destruction to our forest. One dam flooded thousands hactres of our forest. Are those dams are for the benefit the people or just for their personal interest. I still remember what the Late James Masing said 'no dam no road' what does it mean. We have been objected to any dam construction

  But if the local community hesitate to fight against it, what can we do.

  The strong struggle is from the affected community. Even if there is NGOs afford, still not enough

  Tay Wei Wei, PKR Sri Aman

  *Allegations of Bias and Abuse of Power by Community Leaders in Sarawak*

  Tay Wei Wei does not deny that there are still cases of favoritism among community leaders in Sarawak, and he has received several complaints regarding community leaders who refuse to cooperate by signing forms requested by longhouse communities simply because these communities are staunch supporters of the opposition party (PH). Moreover, there are also community leaders who do not distribute government projects to opposition supporters.

  Tay Wei Wei emphasizes that this is a wrongdoing, and citizens should not be afraid to report such abuse of power by certain community leaders (not all) to the police. Community leaders who are strong supporters of GPS in Sarawak should adhere to the Prime Minister's instructions and follow the call for "Segulai Sejalai" as recently proclaimed by the Prime Minister.

  Exclusive Report

  A Complainer revealed the bad working condition in Semalajau that related to taib and political cronies

  RFS received a complaint from a father - telling that his son who works with Press Metal - Samalaju/Bintulu Sarawak, as a technician lives in a residence (provided by the employer) which is not satisfactory.

  The living quarters are made of iron boxes, poorly ventilated and very hot. He sympathizes with the plight of subordinate workers like his son. But he admitted that high-paid workers were given better housing. In relation to working hours, only one day off is given in a week and there are workers who work 4 consecutive night shifts, from 7pm to 7am.

  This must be a violation of the Sarawak labor ordinance.

  Asked why the Sarawak Manpower Department did not conduct a surprise inspection and take action against Press Metal. He replied that it is not possible to take action against Press Metal, because it is related to Taib and Sarawak's political cronies. He thinks that PMX Anwar Ibrahim has not been able to take drastic corrective action in Sarawak since GPS is still strong and Anwar needs support from GPS to continue as Prime Minister. Because he can't stand the pressure of work. His son has quit his job with Press Metal.

  Pn Agnes from Selangau

  Call for Government Focus on Pepper Prices Amid Challenging Cocoa Market Conditions

  Fadillah Yusof, the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia and Minister of Plantation and Commodities, has announced that the federal government is willing to assist Sarawak in obtaining more land for cocoa plantation projects. While Sarawak was initially allocated only 10 hectares of land for cocoa cultivation this year, Fadillah emphasized that the support and assistance provided to cocoa growers in the state are not limited to land allocation. He expressed the government's willingness to cooperate with the Sarawak government to expand the area of new cocoa plantations.

  Pn Agnes from Selangau disagrees with the proposal for cocoa planting as stated because she categorizes her own experience of planting cocoa trees, which did not yield any results and instead caused significant losses due to pest attacks and low market prices, which were very detrimental.

  She said that the government should focus more on the prices of pepper, palm oil, and rubber because these three crops are seen as weakening and their prices are low in the market. She urged for assistance to be provided to small-scale farmers who are increasingly suffering losses in their various crops, as the market prices for cocoa, pepper, rubber, and palm oil are very concerning.

  This issue has been a hot topic in coffee shop. My friends and myself always wondering, what is so important or good about that flagpole. We are in the opinion that project is a waste of public funds although they said that project is funded by certain company. Will the company really want to finance it without other intentions

  The project is still a govt project. That 30mils is better to spend it on other good purposes. There are areas that still lack of infrustrure especially in the interior. Why are we so proud to have that flagpole that serves no purpose. We have so many poor peoples that really need help in term of finance. That 30 millions if we share with everyone where we have 30 millions population. We can have a million each
