Gereng Jadum, Residents of Penan Metalun/Murum
*None of Penan appoint as tribal leaders, hope Senator Abun Sui can help them to voice out their problem*
Two weeks ago there was an oath-taking ceremony for the appointment of Kapit District Council (PBT) councillors, and a few months ago there was a new appointment and the extension of the service period of tribal chiefs- penghulu and penmanka in Belaga District. Gereng Jadum felt sad because none of the counselors and tribal leaders were appointed from the Penan Murum tribe. While Penan Murum has many problems.
He said that, If a community leader/counselor is not appointed from among them, How their problems will be able to be expressed. Their problems now are- no schools, no clinics, no roads/roads of logging companies, no Mykad, many children have dropped out of school and most unfortunately we have no source of income. The government that moved them to make way for the construction of the Murum Dam, did not take care of their welfare.
Gereng said that, they were not given lots of agricultural land for farming - food crops were not given. Therefore, they request YB Senator Abun Sui to come and visit them immediately to solve their problem. Because- all these problems they have voiced to YBs from GPS for a long time. But till today they failed to solve our problem. They really hope that Yb Senator will come to visit and see for himself their situation.

Jefferey Ngui, President of Muda Sarawak
*is good that free toll for Hari Raya, what about subsidy for flight to return Sabah and Sarawak?*
During the Hari Raya holiday, the unity government approved that the main highway’s toll fees in Peninsular will be free, so that drivers can enjoy free tolls to return home for the Hari Raya. MUDA welcomes this move, but also raises a question: Why is there no subsidy for the air tickets to Sabah and Sarawak to help East Malaysians return home?
Jeffery said expensive flights were nothing new. Air tickets to East Malaysia are expensive, and even the elderly have never left their homes taken a plane.
He said, often one-way is already thousands of ringgit, not to mention round-trip air tickets. These prices are unreasonable. There is no air ticket subsidy that can be enjoyed by the people of Sabah and Sarawak in every festive benefit project.
Coupled with the high prices in recent years, economic depression and other problems, financial constraints have made it impossible for many people in Sabah and Sarawak to afford expensive air tickets, and therefore unable to return to their hometowns to visit their families during the festival.
Regarding the boutique airline proposed by Abang johari a few days ago, Jeffrey raised a question: Is it a social enterprise? Are Gov Sarawak concerned about the people of Sarawak going back to their hometowns for the festival, and offer affordable and cheap air tickets, and are willing to bear losses? If it is a people-oriented project, it can naturally be supported. The Sarawak government must have a complete plan and make the project transparent. How to solve the loss problem? These all need to be shown to the people.

Abun Sui, Senator of PKR Sarawak
*Small holder in Belaga want to know why MPOB Belaga research station been closed?*
Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) research station in Sungai Asap, Belaga, have been closed without the knowledge of the residents who really need this station.
Senator Abun Sui said that, the station had previously been very helpful to local residents in terms of oil palm farming.He received complaints from residents of Sungai Asap Belaga regarding the offline of MPOB research station in Sungai Asap, and when asked, only realize that the office is plastered with the name of a private limited company, but no one know why.
He said that the facility is very much needed by the many small oil palm farmers in the surrounding area. It is very important that the center can assist the small holder in that area with obtaining agricultural advisory services.
Abun sui said that, the alleged closure of the MPOB research station in Sungai Asap, Belaga, Sarawak needs to be taken seriously by the Ministry of Plantations and Commodities Malaysia.

Jeffrey Hassan, activist of Pos Lanai Pahang
*leading villagers fight for their rights and land*
Jeffrey Hassan leading the Orang Asli of Pos Lanai Kuala Lipis Pahang, last week having trial at Termeloh High Court to seek legalize ownership of their land and territories as they have in 2019 won their battle against the proposed Telom dam when the PH govt scrapped the project, which threatened their village underwater and as well as logging.
In the early stage of the project, they were forced to move to a settlement site without knowing that their land and territories was for dam construction. But soon after that the community realised what was going on, Jeffrey started to organised his community to fight for their rights to their land and territories with the help of NGOs and Lawyer. In the beginning Jeffery was facing difficulties in organizing the community as some were not agree to fight. Dispite having to face difficulties, he has to struggle to take legal action and last week they were having trial on their case and will continue. He realizes that the struggle is not easy and taking long time.
