  Iswardy Morni, Political Analysis

  *PRN results in 6 states will not change the administrators in the central government*

  Perikatan Nasional (PN/PAS) Youth Leader Ahmad Fadhil Shaari- said that it is not impossible that there will be a change of central government if PN wins big on the night of August 12. According to Ahmad - the constitution allows the change of government through various means. But Iswardy said that the method allowed by the constitution is a vote of confidence/no confidence in parliament. This method has been proven to fail in the opening session of the last term of parliament. While the second way, according to Iswardy is - support through a sworn statement (SD) but this way has been abolished through the anti-party jumping act. So the last way is with en bloc support. However, whatever the outcome of the PRN will not change the composition of the parliamentary seats. As such, there is no need for UMNO/GPS or GRS to change their support for the PMX-led government. After all, the service record of PAS and PPBM led by Muhyiddin Yassin is very bad - in the state government or the central government when they ruled. Therefore, Iswardy remains confident that the unity government will get the support of voters in the 6 states that hold elections.

  *Six States' Elections: Understanding Voter Sentiments and Trends*

  Although the upcoming elections in the six states do not include Sarawak, Chris continues to observe the electoral developments in those states as he believes they can provide valuable insights for the upcoming Sarawak state election.

  He points out that PAS, in particular, seems to be solely focused on playing the religious and racial card. Due to its strong religious identity, PAS is well aware that it cannot secure votes from non-Muslims. As a result, the party repeatedly uses religious and racial issues during the campaign to appeal to Muslim voters and gain their support. However, this approach is seen as extreme and untrustworthy by non-Muslims.

  In addition, regarding Mahathir's endorsement of PAS, Chris believes that while there may still be some loyalists to Mahathir, the majority sees him as having limited influence. This observation is based on insights gathered from online sources.

  The youth vote could be a decisive factor in the six states' elections. Beyond the parties' clashes on various issues, what matters most is how they can attract young people to come out and vote.

  Agnes Padan, Social Activistr

  *Undocumented in Sarawak: Uniting Voices for helping Sarawakian get Mykad*

  Before the formation of the Unity Government, the issue of undocumented individuals in Sarawak was often overlooked, and the chances of successful applications were very low. However, after the formation of the Unity Government, in Lawas alone, Agnes, who is in charge, has successfully handled up to 40 cases. She sees this as a positive start. Agnes emphasized that addressing the issue of undocumented individuals cannot rely solely on individual voices; it requires the involvement of more non-governmental organizations and activists to collectively raise this issue to the government's attention. If only one or two individuals make complaints, the problem will not resonate enough. Currently, applications and follow-ups are mainly done through online channels, but there are still many people in remote areas who are unaware of the process or how to track their applications. As a result, they have to personally visit the National Registration Department (JPN), which consumes time and money. Agnes believes that those who cannot apply or follow up through online means can seek assistance from community-based non-governmental organizations or activists. This way, unnecessary costs and time can be reduced.

  Dennis Along, PKR Baram Communications Director

  *Why Ibraco got the RM 529.83 Million project without tender?*

  On July 28, Ibraco Construction Sdb.Bhd received the LOA- Letter of acceptance from JKR Sarawak. For the Project worth RM529.83 million for the construction of a bridge in Batang Semarahan and a 9 KM long 2 lane four lane road from Batang Samarahan to Batang Sadong.

  Dennis questioned why Ibraco obtained a contract worth more than half a billion ringgit without an open tender. Is it because Ibraco is related/owned by Taib Mahmud TYT Sarawak? According to Dennis, why are the bridge and road projects only concentrated in the PBB-Melayu Melanau party area? Whereas for more than 60 years the people in Baram and the upper reaches of Rajang, Limbang and Lawas have been waiting for a road to reach their village. What Sarawak Premier Abang Joe is doing is contrary to what PMX Anwar Ibrahim wants.

  Dennis also questioned why during the absence of Taib TYT Sarawak, no acting was appointed? For Dennis, the people of Sarawak have the right to ask and question the unfair actions that took place in the administration of Abang Joe in Sarawak.

  *FPIC Abuse: The Questionable Consent Process in Sabah's NCA Project*

  Recently, a concerning case came to light where a company involved in the National Conservation Area (NCA) collaborated with the Sabah government to organize a closed-door seminar at KDCA (Kadazandusun Cultural Association) and invited 16 so-called cultural associations of Sabah natives.

  The purpose of this seminar was to obtain Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) from these associations, but it was evident that they did not fully understand the true meaning and purpose of FPIC.

  During the seminar, only representatives from the company responsible for the NCA were present, and they purportedly convinced the representatives of these cultural organizations to provide their consent. This approach is troubling as it deviates from the standards set by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), which emphasizes that FPIC is a mechanism to protect the rights of indigenous communities and not a tool for justifying government programs.

  This manipulation of the FPIC process is used to suppress objections to controversial projects by the company and the government. Further investigation revealed that these cultural associations do not genuinely represent the respective ethnic groups they claim to represent. Instead, they were established by individuals with political connections and do not have significant membership support.

  Some concerned citizens, like Barnie, took the initiative to reach out to friends and inquire whether these associations truly endorsed the NCA program. The shocking revelations raised doubts about the legitimacy of the consent obtained. In a proper FPIC process, an official document outlining the project's details should be provided to the affected communities well before any meeting or consultation takes place.

  Unfortunately, in this situation, such a document was not given, which clearly constitutes an abuse of the FPIC process. Furthermore, when Barnie attempted to obtain documents related to the NCA through a legal case, he faced obstacles as the company and the government failed to provide a map showing the exact location of the project. This lack of transparency raises concerns about how the affected communities are expected to know the extent of the impact on their lands and livelihoods.

  Overall, this case highlights a worrying trend where FPIC is misused to advance certain agendas without genuine consent from indigenous communities. Proper adherence to UNDRIP principles and transparent communication with the affected communities are essential to ensure the protection of their rights and prevent further manipulative practices in the future.

  *A Path to Education and Identity*

  PPD(District education office)→JPN(National Registration Department)→KPM(Ministry of Education)→MAHKAMAH(Court)→JPN(National Registration Department)→PPD(District education office)→KPM(Ministry of Education)

  It has been a lengthy process for Peter Hee, a member of DAPSY (Democratic Action Party Youth), to assist a 13-year-old schoolchild in gaining entry to secondary school. The child's father, who was from Sarawak, has passed away, and the mother is of Indonesian nationality. As a result, the child has not had proper identification documents since a young age, which has prevented them from enrolling in school smoothly. Without a Malaysian identity card (MyKad), the child cannot access free education and is required to pay several hundred Ringgit each month. Despite applying for a MyKad for several years, the process is still ongoing and the child has not yet obtained the necessary identification documents.

  Peter Hee is committed to helping the child until they obtain their identity card (IC), and he hopes that the government, specifically the Unity Government, can also aid in resolving IC-related issues across the entire country.

  *Suburban Sadia Branches: Continuing the Fight for Dayak Rights*

  Sadia Kuching branch aims to maintain a close relationship with the government, as stated by executive committee member Anthony Tukang. The current leadership has chosen this direction due to its practicality in the present circumstances.

  Robert was formerly active in Sadia Bintulu branch, and he expressed his belief that Kuching Branch's alignment with the GPS state government is solely their decision and does not represent the decisions of all branches, including Bintulu, Sibu, and other suburban branches.

  He pointed out that the suburban branches of Sadia are still addressing land issues and identification problems faced by the Dayak people. These problems result from mismanagement by the state government, making alignment with them unnecessary.

  Instead, the focus should be on supervising and advocating for the rights of the Dayak people.

  Robert also emphasized that the alignment of Kuching Branch with GPS might lead to confusion regarding Sadia's purpose. He clarified that Sadia is committed to assisting both Dayak and non-Dayak people, as long as they face indigenous rights issues, especially those related to lacking identification documents and encroachment on customary lands.

  > The High Court in Alor Setar has allowed Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s bid for an interim injunction against caretaker Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor. Tambun MP Anwar is suing Sanusi over an election campaign speech in Tambun in November last year in the run-up to the 15th general election (GE15), whereby the defendant was alleged to have said that the plaintiff is “out of akhlak (morals)”.

Rafizi had previously extended the challenge to other PN members, but they declined. Now, he has shifted his focus to Syahir after rejections from Kedah's caretaker menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor and Selangor's PN chairperson Azmin Ali.

  Stanley Rentap, Politics Analysis

  *State Elections Heating Up*

  On Saturday, the nomination day proceeded smoothly with 570 candidates registering to contest for 254 state legislative seats. One of the contested seats is Dun Amirudin N. Sembilan Sikamat, which is where RFS’s political editor Stanley Rentap stayed to observe the states election campaign in Peninsular.

  Currently, the cooperation between the PH and the BN is going well. In states where the BN is stronger, such as Kelantan, Kedah, and Terengganu, they have fielded a greater number of candidates. On the other hand, in states where the PH is more dominant and has been in power for several terms, such as Selangor, Penang, and Negeri Sembilan, they have put forth a larger representation of candidates. Overall, the working relationship between the two coalitions appears to be harmonious.

  According to observations after last Saturday's nomination day, candidates from the PH in Negeri Sembilan, Penang, and Selangor have been highlighting their achievements and performance from the past five years. They aim to demonstrate their capabilities and success in uplifting the economy and fostering the well-being of the people. On the other hand, candidates primarily from the PAS and the PN coalition have been relying on religious and racial sentiments without presenting any substantial achievements, despite PAS being in power in Kelantan for multiple terms.

  Stanley stated that the upcoming phase will focus on how each party and candidate conduct their campaign activities to win the support of the voters. He mentioned that the current stage is just a warm-up, and he believes there will be more on-the-ground reporting for RFS listeners in the future.

  *The Impact of Social Media on Young Voters in the Six States Elections*

  The nomination of election candidates in 6 states in peninsular Malaysia took place on Saturday 29 July 2023. In GE15 there was a significant increase in young voters, that is a total of 7 million voters. What are the tendencies of young voters this time, what factors influence their choice.

  According to Abqari- as a young Malay and Muslim, he will consider choosing and giving a chance to a party with a good record of service and administration. In Selangor, the areca nut island and the state of Sembilan show an increase in economy and administrative efficiency. But on the other hand in Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah - the PAS administration is less convincing.

  Added to the case of the Kedah Chief Minister who was recently brought to court on charges under the sedition act for insulting the king of Selangor. The Menteri Besar of Kedah is also linked to the weakness of state governance. The weakness of the PAS administration will make it difficult for them to defend the states they govern. But according to Abqari, Not all young voters have good political knowledge. Therefore there will still be young voters who will vote based on emotions and not based on a good administrative record.

  Asked what campaign medium most influenced young voters. Abqari is confident that social media such as FB and Tik Tok will be very effective in influencing young voters. Young people do not have time to attend talks. So they are only waiting for reports in the media. Abqari is confident that whichever party dominates the social media campaign will win a lot of seats. Overall, PH/BN is expected to win in Penang, Sembilan and Selangor. However, PN/PAS will win some seats, especially Malay majority seats. In Kelantan and Terengganu PN/PAS will remain in power. Except in Kedah it is not yet known which Party will win.

  *Unraveling Taib's Company Links*

  Yes from what we can see from BMF research where there are so many companies are link to Taib in many countries.

  As a politician this is obviously not normal.

  This is an extraordinary for a person that been a leader of the state and now still a governor of Sarawak and who has the capacity to register hundreds of companies all over the world.

  There are rare people who are related to too many companies like this.

  But if we want response whether these issue are drivers to land grab or explanation, we must do a research and investigations in more detail to every companies.

  We have the right to request for explanation from Taib himself or representative, but they don't have responsibilty to response to our queries. Unless we summons them and there must be a police report. Or there must an investigation.

  We must have reasons/evidents which we believe violating the laws or doing illegal business.

  *Taib should be replaced if confirmed to be unwell*

  Astana Sarawak has filed a police report against the report that Sarawak TYT Taib Mahmud is in critical condition. Astana assured the public that TYT was healthy and on holiday abroad. However, making a police report is not a good way to prove TYT Taib's health. The best way is to show where Taib is and the latest state of his health.

  According to Baru Bian, the people have the right to question and are entitled to a true report. If there is evidence and it is confirmed that TYT Taib is unwell, then it is appropriate for the Agong/King to appoint his successor to launch the administration of the state of Sarawak. The last time Astana Sarawak issued a statement that TYT Taib was in good health was more than a month ago.

What is happening now seems like something is wrong. Astana should also deal with fake news related to TYT in a better way. Not by way of a police report. The public has the right to ask questions and the Astana side should use whatever is the right way to give the right/accurate and appropriate answer. Simon also asked people to keep calm and not speculate if there is no authentic news source

  *Six Peninsular States Gear Up for Elections*

  There are six states that are holding elections in Peninsular. The nomination day for these elections is set for July 29, and the polling day is scheduled for August 12. Although the official campaign period has not yet begun, several political party leaders have already started expressing their views openly on various platforms.

  One of the key observations made by a prominent leader is the stark contrast in the policies and reforms advocated by the leaders of the unity government compared to those of the PN. The leaders of the unity government are emphasizing policies that focus on benefiting the people through various reforms and economic assistance programs. On the other hand, he criticize the PN for engaging in inflammatory actions that seem to lack any tangible benefits for the public.

  As the election campaign gains momentum, each political party is expected to employ different strategies to garner support. In addition to traditional approaches like engaging with the public through speeches and gatherings, social media is anticipated to play a crucial role as one of the primary battlegrounds. Political parties are increasingly utilizing platforms like Facebook and TikTok to reach out to voters and promote their policies and promises.

  However, Mr Rafal urges the voters to be discerning and critical consumers of information during the campaign period. While social media can be a powerful tool for sharing political messages, there is also a risk of encountering misinformation, sensationalism, and emotionally charged content. Voters play a crucial role in shaping the future direction of their states by making informed decisions based on reliable information and genuine policies presented during the election period.

  *GPS Gov Inaction: Farmers Left to Rely on NGO - PETAPAN's Support*

  An agricultural NGO named Petapan from Lundu, led by Meneng Biris, has contributed significantly to the agricultural and livestock needs of farmers in the Lundu area due to the lingering economic impact that is still not fully recovered, placing immense pressure on farmers and livestock breeders. Meneng Biris and her NGO have donated 400 young chicks to support poultry farmers and alleviate their burden of purchasing new chicks.

  Recently, YB Mordi Bimol donated 10,000 to support the NGO's initiatives. The concern raised by Meneng and his PETAPAN NGO is that they do not see a strong inclination from government agencies to assist the people. The Department of Agriculture is not actively organizing any aid or support to contribute to the people's needs. Therefore, PETAPAN takes it upon themselves to assist those who seek to advance the agricultural and poultry farming sector.

  Iswardy Morni, political analysis

  *Six States Election: team reformasi vs team sakau*

  Preliminary analysis of the election in 6 shows that the unity government is able to maintain victory in Selangor, PP and N9. While the chances in Kedah are relatively open 50/50 and the results in Kelantan and Terengganu depend on the success of the UMNO campaign which fielded many candidates in the 2 states involved. But campaigns on social media are more able to attract the attention of young voters than open talks.

  The clash this time, according to Iswardy- is the reformation team clashing/fighting against the team of people's property thieves and racial and religious extremists led by Hadi, Mahathir, Muhyiddin and Azmin. While UMNO is a party that has just realized that their struggle has been distorted and is trying to correct the situation by joining Anwar Ibrahim.

  For Iswardy- voters should be sane to vote. Voters can evaluate the progress enjoyed in Selangor, PP and N9 compared to Kelantan and Terengganu led by the PAS Party. Voters should value the economic achievements, transparency and integrity in PH-governed states and also value the achievements of Kelantan, Kedah and Terengganu which are governed by the PAS Party.

  Iswardy challenged PAS to file a police report if any PH/unity government leader steals people's money. It's quite funny according to Iswardy when Hadi praises Mahathir who has returned to the base of the road.

  While Hadi criticized Anwar for tarnishing the PAS Party's image as a religious extremist and because of Anwar's political actions, DAP became stronger. In 1998 PAS supported Anwar when Mahathir was fired, because at that time PAS wanted reforms to the system that was broken under Mahathir's administration and demanded good governance. Surprisingly now PAS praises Mahathir and blames Anwar. This is proof that PAS is not consistent in the struggle. The nomination of election candidates in 6 states will take place on 29 July and voting day on 12 August 2023.

  *13 Villagers Await Justice Against Land Survey and GPS Government*

  Despite the last house in Kampung Usahajaya Tukau being demolished by Parabena, 13 villagers are still awaiting their turn to sue the Sarawak GPS government and Land Survey for negligence in the sale of the village to Parabena.

  Desmond Laing stated that even though Kampung Usahajaya Tukau lost the legal battle against Parabena in the High Court, Federal Court, and Court of Appeal, resulting in Parabena acquiring ownership of the village, one of the plots of land, Lot 189, was previously recognized by former Chief Minister Adenan Satem as a village with basic amenities such as water and electricity, proving its legitimacy.

  He mentioned that with this evidence, the 13 individuals have a strong chance of successfully suing the land survey and GPS government. However, other villagers chose to negotiate with Parabena earlier and have been waiting repeatedly for compensation, which ultimately led to the demolition of their houses without receiving equal compensation.

  Desmond Laing emphasized that since the 13 individuals are pursuing individual claims and not representing the entire village, it will take time for the lawyers to complete all the necessary legal procedures before filing the lawsuit. He stated that the lawsuit will be filed in the near future.

  *rural schools lack administrative assistants make teachers bear heavier workload*

  Jimmy shares his observations of the situation in rural schools. He is a driver responsible for delivering food supplies to these interior schools.

  He noticed that rural schools lack administrative assistants. He has been closely monitoring the issues faced by these rural primary schools, and many teachers have complained about having to bear a heavier workload due to the lack of sufficient administrative support.

  This is because the schools do not have an adequate number of administrative assistants. Has the Ministry been aware of this problem for so long? Jimmy was informed by his fellow teacher friends that many graduates are still unemployed. Why aren't they invited to apply for administrative assistant positions so that they can have employment opportunities?

  If the issue of administrative assistant positions is related to quotas, then the quota system should be abolished. It cannot be denied that the government still plays a role in the quota system, but this has been blocking opportunities for qualified young individuals, resulting in high unemployment rates among graduates year after year.

These three areas are home to approximately 6,000 residents. For the local residents, this announcement represents a significant milestone they have been eagerly anticipating for the past 60 years. The road upgrading project holds the promise of bringing immense convenience to the communities in various aspects of their daily lives. One of the primary benefits of the road upgrade will be improved access to education for the residents' children. With better road connectivity, it will become much easier for students to commute to school. Moreover, the upgraded roads will play a crucial role in ensuring safety during emergencies.

  With better roads, the local communities will have enhanced opportunities to engage in trade and commerce. The improved connectivity will facilitate the transportation of goods and products to markets, making it much easier for the residents to sell their produce and generate income.

  The residents are eagerly looking forward to witnessing the transformation of their roads in the near future. The long-awaited road upgrades are now within reach, and the communities are excited to see the positive changes it will bring to their daily routines and aspirations.

  *The Madinah Constitution is not necessary in Sarawak*

  As a multi-ethnic state, Sarawak does not need the Madinah (Islamic) constitution as an administrative guide - Dennis Along said. The Premier of Sarawak said in the 2-day International Conference of Islamic Scholars held in Kuching, Sarawak.

  According to Abang Johari, the Madinah constitution provides fair governance to the people and prioritizes human values. Therefore the Madinah Constitution will be our guide, said Abang Johari. Dennis Along does not believe in GPS and does not believe in the Madinah Constitution to be fair. Dennis explained - Currently, the GPS administration in Sarawak gives advantages to Malays/Melanau and Muslim residents, while at the same time marginalizing non-Muslims.

  According to Dennis again, The Madinah Constitution that Abang Johari wants to follow is the same as the Malay Proclamation popularized by Tun Mahathir now. It will give advantages to Malays and Muslims. While in the context of Sarawak it is the Melanau Proclamation. Dennis insisted that the Sarawak government be governed using a meritocracy and transparency approach. Anyone with the expertise and competence to govern- should be given space to lead regardless of religion, skin color or descent. Adhering to the Madinah constitution only uses religion for political purposes as done by Tun Mahathir and the PAS Party.

  George Laing from Uma Akeh Baram

  *60 Years of Governance in Sarawak: Progress or Regress?*

  George makes a call to express his views on Sarawak being the wealthiest state. He mentions that Abang Johari also talked about the goal of turning Sarawak into a high-income state for all by 2030. George agrees with the idea but questions how this will be achieved. He wonders why GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) always talks about it but takes no action.

  According to George, this is not the first time GPS has emphasized increasing the income of Sarawak's people, even mentioning a minimum family income of RM 4,000. He asks GPS, what about the inland families? How can they achieve a 4,000 ringgit income?

  In relation to BMF (Bruno Manser Fund) publishing a 14-page document about Taib Mahmud-related company assets, we questions whether this is the source of Sarawak's wealth. These assets are owned by the same individuals, the same families, and their political connections.

  George says that rural people only have land for cultivation to support their families, but the government is not very proactive in promoting agricultural policies. Fertilizers, transportation, and other burdens make it difficult for them. Moreover, NRC land are often exploited by politicians and companies, making it even harder for inland people to achieve high income.

  He points out that in 60 years of governance, the state government has never aimed to improve the lives of inland people, let alone make them prosperous.

  He expresses that rural people don't want to receive help from the state government only when problems arise (such as receiving aid during floods). Instead, they need basic infrastructure like roads, water, electricity, education, and healthcare. He questions why, after 60 years, these necessities are still not provided.

  He shares an example of his own village, which is only 15 kilometers away from Long Lama town but lacks essential facilities such as roads, clean water, and electricity. George states that nobody believes GPS's promises anymore. In conclusion, George expresses his frustration with the fact that Sarawak has been regressing over the past 60 years.

  Rama Ajom, A Kampung Mendrod resident (Gua Musang)

  *Temiar group lodges police report over land encroachment activities*

  2 Orang Asli communities Kpg Mendrod and Kpg Jelgek B lodged police report at Gua Musang police station.

  Prio to the encroachment, their areas were green and beautiful scenery. And now it has been difference. Till now no action taken by the government authorities such as JAKOA.

  After series of discussions but no response that we satisfied. So they have no choice but to lodge to get attention of the govt and other relevant agencies to re study orang Asli cases. Especially on logging that impact the communities . As there is no monitoring. They collaborated with the Kelantan Orang Asli network to voice their issue.

  Other than water catchment, burial site also in danger. Their land too in danger. As the area is in the middle of the plantations, and their forest, farm lands and will also cause losing of their livelihoods.

  The communities are in the midst of compiling their documentations to refer to legal team. They may file this case to court after gathering all informations .

  Peter John Jaban, activist from Sarawak

  *Urges Sarawakians to file a police report against Ragad*

  When thousands of Sarawakians gather at Padang Merdeka in Kuching (On Saturday 22 July 2023), to celebrate "Sarawak Day" or Sarawak's 60th independence day. Peter John and fellow activists staged a peaceful protest against the granting of citizenship to Ragad Kurdi Taib. Wife of TYT Sarawak-Taib Mahmud. Ragad and his two children were given Malaysian citizenship with Sarawak (Melanau) native status. In the meantime, there are many people of Sarawak origin who are still waiting for years to get citizenship and until now they have not been given citizenship. The express granting of citizenship to Ragad and his 2 children - very sad, plus they were given Sarawak native status. With such a status, Ragad has the privilege of owning and buying the land of Sarawak natives and Peter John is worried that one day this land in Sarawak will be owned and monopolized by rich people from Labenon State. I don't object to him being given normal citizenship like any other foreigner. But being given special treatment with Sarawak native status is outrageous.

  The absence of TYT Taib in the celebration of 60 years of Sarawak independence - last weekend. It seems to confirm the news that TVT Taib is in poor health. However, Peter insisted that the Sarawak government is more than ready to deal with Taib's absence. Of course the Sarawak government has a candidate to replace Taib as TYT. Peter described Taib's administration for 33 years as an administration of iron nails. Many of the original people's rights were taken away, Taib's position was used to enrich his family and cronies. So much so that Taib became one of the richest people in Malaysia. If PMX is hunting Tun Daim and Tun Mahathir for getting rich by misusing power. So Taib should also be PMX Anwar's priority - Said Peter John. Peter john Believe in the absence and departure of Taib from the political map of Sarawak. The situation will be more conducive for the people of Sarawak. Peter reiterated his warning that the people of Sarawak are facing a subtle threat that undermines their rights as Sarawakian natives. Therefore, he urged the people of Sarawak to file a police report against Ragad to stop the wrong practices that have been done all this time. Peter is satisfied with the granting of a public holiday on July 22 every year - his struggle demands that "Sarawak Day" be made a public holiday since 2013.

  Wahid Anyie, Penan resident from Long Belok

  *Shinyang demolished Penan blockade again*

  The Penan blockade at Long Belok and Long Sanyan was demolished by Shin Yang for the second time on 19.7.2023. Not only was Shin Yang not allowed to log in the reserve forest for the lives of the Penan people, but for many years ago Shin Yang cheated the Penan people in these two villages. Shin Yang cut and felled many logs. But little is reported and little commission is paid to the Penan people. The Penan people forbade Shin Yang Kejin Camp from continuing to cheat like this and asked for the logging to stop before any decision is reached.

  In addition, Wahid Anyie is not satisfied with the treatment provided by Shin Yang to logging workers who are sick or have an accident. The sick worker should be under Shin Yang's responsibility. But often Shin Yang does not want to finance the treatment costs of Penan workers who work with Shin Yang. Wahid and his friends will go to meet the assistant district officer in Long Bedian next Monday to find a solution to their problem.

  For now, Wahid and his friends will continue to set up a blockade once again.

  Mr Lela from Usahajaya Tukau

  *Last house in village was demolished by Parabena*

  The last house in the traditional village of Usahajaya Tukau, owned by Mr. Lela, who had been living there for over 20 years, was demolished and only compensated with 3,000 MYR by Parabena. According to Mr. Lela, he was allowed to temporarily reside on Parabena's land until all the victims were given plots of land under the Resettlement Placement Scheme (SPS).

  Mr. Lela is disappointed with the actions of the Land and Survey department, as he feels they do not respect the livelihood of the community in the traditional village. For him, only the Land and Survey department knows the future plans for each area in Tukau. He questions why there was a 24-hour electricity connection project given to land that will be taken away from the people. Mr. Lela requests that the government pay more attention to the issues faced by the people.

  Nasir Nash, activist of Orang Asli from Kelantan

  *Rebuilding Faith in Education and Safety for Indigenous Communities*

  Seven years ago, a tragic incident occurred at SK Pos Tohoi, where 5 out of 7 primary school students lost their lives. The devastating event continues to haunt the parents and students, leaving them traumatized to this day. Recently, there was a bit of relief as the court ordered the government to compensate the 7 affected families with a total of RM1.4 million, which also covers the case management.

  However, the incident had a profound impact on the surrounding communities, leading to a loss of confidence in the school's management and security. The parents perceive it as mistreatment towards their children. Compounding the issue is the school's remote location, making it challenging for some communities to monitor their young children closely, relying heavily on the teachers.

  Although some improvements were made after the incident, such as upgrading the school facilities, including fences, classrooms, and hostels, concerns about the overall school conditions and loose security remain.

  As the upcoming 6 States election approaches, the Orang Asli community is closely observing three main factors. Firstly, historically, the Orang Asli has been known as diehard voters of BN (Barisan Nasional). Secondly, they consider the influence of the state government, with the current federal government being popular. Finally, they are evaluating the commitment and promises of the candidates vying for their support.

  Jimmy from Miri

  *High-Income State or High-Income Discontent? Examining Sarawak's Realities*

  Jimmy shares his views on Sarawak's high-income state status. According to Jimmy, the government only targets the interests of the privileged and projects benefiting cronies. He believes that a significant number of Sarawakians still earn low wages, making it difficult for them to support their families' expenses until the end of the month. The government seems to care only when other countries' data portrays Sarawak as developed, but this progress is primarily concentrated in urban centers, leaving the rural areas far behind and not befitting a high-income state. Jimmy questions whether wastage, abuse of power, corruption, and land seizures from the people are what constitute being considered a high-income state. He believes the government should take action to return the rights to the people and support them in developing their lands instead of favoring large corporations. If Sarawak is truly a high-income state, then it's time for the government to provide opportunities for the people to progress together and move forward.

  *Sarawakians Demand Return of Land Confiscated by Taib Mahmud's Family*

  Dennis gave feedback regarding 2 news involving TYT Taib Mahmud.

  According to Dennis, the majority of Sarawakians are puzzled as to why TYT Taib Mahmud was not present at the celebration of 60 years of Sarawak Independence. It is the biggest festival in the history of Sarawak and it is an official government event that requires the presence of TYT. Dennis demanded the Palace to provide further explanation. Or did TYT Taib Mahmud deliberately not want to be in public because he was ashamed of the achievements of Sarawak where there are still many poor people, asked Dennis.

  For the record, Taib was the Chief Minister of Sarawak for 33 years. Other than that. Today Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim warned that action will be taken against the two richest politicians in Malaysia.

  Although not naming names, a Sarawakian - Francis Paul Siah thinks that what PMX Anwar is referring to - is Tun Daim and Tun Mahathir. But Paul Siah asked that Taib Mahmud's name be included in the list that will be taken action. Share the same opinion. Dennis requested that PMX take strict action against Taib Mahmud and also his accomplices in Sarawak. The evidence is clear according to Dennis – many political leaders are rich but the people remain poor. Dennis also requested that PMX correct the injustice in Sarawak, where the Taib family confiscated much of the natives' land. Dennis asked for it to be returned immediately. Does Taib's absence in Sarawak have anything to do with PMX Anwar Ibrahim's actions of chasing rich people who steal the people's wealth? Contact us to share your thoughts. 013-5515219.

  Jeffrery Ngui, Chairman of Muda Sarawak

  *GPS gov's development only makes companies rich, but the people do not benefit*

  Sarawak Premier Abang Johari during the Sarawak Day 2023 celebration at Padang Merdeka, said that Sarawakians must continue to join hands and stay committed in steering Sarawak towards achieving its vision of becoming a developed and high-income state by 2030.

  Jeffrery compared the state government to a company and the people of Sarawak to employees. He said that the company is constantly making money and becoming rich, but it is not giving anything back to the employees. How can the employees become rich with the company?

  In the same way, the GPS state government is only making the companies rich, but it is not seeing the suffering of the people. Forget about reaching the high-income state by 2030, the people are even struggling to escape poverty. Therefore, he said that Abang Jo's speech is groundless.

  He said that Abang Jo should not just talk about his vision, but he should also list how to implement it. He said that this is very important, because in the past, GPS has always put forward many visions, but there are no good plans. The people just listen and forget about it. We don't want empty signboards.

  For example, development projects should be open and transparent tenders, not for the benefit of cronies. The government should not ignore the inland indigenous communities, but only care about the wealth of the 5% of businessmen and cronies.

  On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Sarawak Day, the people of Sarawak are concerned about the development of Sarawak. Although the GPS government is proud of its development, Jeffery said that no matter how many shopping malls or skyscrapers are built, if the people do not have the purchasing power, it is a development in name only. He gave the example of the ART that is about to be built. How many people will be able to use it? "

  Fiqah Roslan, spokeperson for TiadaGuru campaign (No Teacher)

  *Reform Needed to Ensure Students' Rights Are Protected*

  Three students who filed a suit against their former English language teacher in Sabah’s northern Kota Belud district for being absent from class for seven months and four others including the government have won their case in the High Court here.

  From the recent outcome of court case where the court had delivered a judgement in favour of three Plaintiffs(students) against a Teacher, Principal and Others. There are good and bad implications.

  Positively this case sending a message for those students who facing the same issue and who in the community that are under pressure should not be afraid anymore. This case shows that action can be taken and also an ordinary also can demand for justice.

  However, negatively, although we have won a case, after years of struggled. In the part education institution itself there is still lope hole and leakage in term of to ensure this kind of right is secure. As this may not guaranty that this kind of case will not happen again in future. What we can see now that this is a precedent case where action can be taken in term of security is still an issue, as reformation is yet to be implemented at the higher level.

  Wahid Anyie, Resident of Penan Long Belok

  *Penan people want peaceful negotiations, not provocations and fights*

  Wahid gave an update on the blockade set up by two Penan villages, namely Long Belok and Long Sanyan. Wahid felt sad because their blockade was demolished by the Shin Yang Kejin Camp company on July 18, 2023. Also involved in the demolition process are the forest department and the police. However, a day later the blockade was re-established on 19 July 2023. The Penan people asked for a dialogue to be held before Shin Yang entered the logging area that preserves the catchment/drinking water area and the protected area that the Penan people depend on to live in this protected forest area. The Penan people want peaceful negotiations, not provocations and fights - said Wahid Anyie.

  The recent statement by the Premier of Sarawak which imagines the Serian Division in the state as if it were a mini New Zealand is hoped to realize the residents' dream for the area to be developed as a tourist attraction. Abun said that there is another dream which is the residents of Belaga who want the area to be appointed as the 13th Sarawak Division because of its geographical position near the new capital of Indonesia, Nusantara.

  He said it caused him to be called to voice the dream of the people of Belaga District for the area to be elevated to the 13th Sarawak Division. If Serian is dreamed of becoming like a mini New Zealand, they the people of Belaga District, it is enough to elevate this district to the 13th Division.

  Abun said that he had an informal discussion with the Premier of Sarawak regarding the position of Belaga and hoped that there would be further action regarding the matter.

  PBDS This time more openness to all races including the Ulu people and those of other religions can also be accepted in PBDS.

  Mejar Moses insisted that they will continue to remain as the Solo opposition in Sarawak even though in the past campaign they signed an MOU with PSB and PBK with the opposition, now that is no longer relevant after the last election and thus PBDS today stands alone as a Solo Opposition party in Sarawak. PBDS will not follow in PSB's footsteps.

  PBDS sticks to the principle of fighting for the Dayak issue.

  Thomas Fann, chairperson of Bersih 2.0

  *Bersih Suggest Guidelines for Fair Elections*

  Thomas Fann said that for the coming 6 States elections, Bersih received reports that the Unity Government Prime Minister and the Ministers in their public speeches or government events, made special allocations for farmers, fishermen in Kedai, religious schools in Penang, and so on.

  Bersih is concerned if those are kind of offense. Those 6 states are under caretaker government. However, the Federal government is still functioning, and it is not wise to want them to be in caretaker mode as the country needs to run.

  Therefore, Bersih proposed 3 guidelines, the 3Cs:

  - There should be no conditions attached to any allocation announcement or promise of project to be done at this time.

  - The Prime Minister or ministers should not use the stage as a campaign platform for their party.

  - No candidate should be in the ministers' group in their official duties. This creates an unfair playing field.

  Thomas Fann said that the same guidelines should apply to the Federal election, even though the state governments are still functioning. He wants to ensure that all parties have a fair chance in the elections. He hopes that the SPR or government secretary will take his situation into consideration and release their official guidelines. In the past, the caretaker government was not in political dialogue.

  However, Thomas Fann believes that these guidelines can be made better, including those states governments that are not involved in the election.

  Alan Ling See Kiong, Former Senator and now the Sarawak PH secretary

  PSB has not changed, it has always been a bloc party of GPS

  Now it has been proven like what we said before the last Sarawak PRN 2021 - that PSB is only acting to split votes. As a result, PH Sarawak lost badly in PRN 2021. PRN 2016 (PRN11) PH Sarawak won 10 state assembly seats but because of PSB's role in splitting votes (Supposedly as the third power) will replace GPS- in PRN12, PH Sarawak won only 2 seats through DAP and PKR and AMANAH lost all the contested seats. It has not even been 5 years since PSB has asked to cooperate with GPS through PDP (Parti Tiong King Sing). This is what PSB really looks like- said Alan ling. Alan Ling said DAP is a principled party, once DAP only won one seat in the Sarawak State Assembly, but still did not submit to GPS.

  ///// ////

  Dennis Along, PKR Baram communications director

  Reject PSB and GPS in coming elections

  What did PSB, PDP and GPS do to close the door, so that PH cannot enter Sarawak. The same policy was carried out by the previous administration when Sarawak BN did not allow UMNO to enter and contest in Sarawak. Now GPS Sarawak works with PSB so that there is no room for PH Sarawak to ask for a seat to contest. On the grounds that the GPS coalition has represented the Unity government in Sarawak. Dennis hopes that the people will wake up and reject the GPS coalition in the upcoming elections.

  —————————

  Baru Bian, Secretary general of PSB

  PSB to collaboration with unity govt as can foresee that current political landscape

  PSB to collaboration with unity govt as we can foresee that current political landscape.

  In West Malaysia PN, PAS, including Mahathir, their preparation for the coming 6 states' elections. They brought up religion, race and Royalty or 3R issues. Recently Mahathir raised up an issue that multiracialism is unconstitutional and Malaysia is Tanah Melayu.

  He said, after GE 15, where he made a statement, urged for GPS to collaborate with PH to form a coalition government. That is the best way directly to uphold Unity government. They collaborate with PDP is a positive move especially for the Dayaks.

  If we look at previous Sarawak State election where GPS won 76 seats while the opposition only won 6 seats. Meaning that GPS is strong enough.

  Personally as individul he ever ready to continue as opposition . But when look into a huge picture, there is a need for his people in Bakalalan. But there is no allocation provided. And that is a disadvantage .

  Elias, vice chairman of PKR Barsm

  The government built the road without supervision, and allowed the trucks damage the road section

  He commented on the quality of the main road to Long Lama which is dangerous for road users, this is due to the lack of monitoring since the completion of the Road. Enforcers do not go to field to inspect the condition of the Road from time to time. In addition, overloaded lorries contribute to road damage. But what is strange is why the quality or tar standard of the road does not meet the federal road standard? While the Peninsular Road is very good but the road in Sarawak can be said to be a sick road. There are lots of patches here and there and this is very clear that there are budget deviations during the construction of roads in Sarawak. Request the government or JKR to monitor from time to time the condition of the roads in Sarawak especially to Long lama from Peninjau junction which needs immediate action.
