    *GPS appoint headman to damage the harmony of community*

    According to Dennis, there is a tendency to appoint headman according to the political tastes and wishes of YB in an area. For example, the headman who supports GPS will be appointed and the extension of the position/retention of the position will be supported by YB. But any individual who does not support the GPS party will not be appointed as headman. There was also a change of headman because the existing headman did not support logging or oil palm plantation. So a new headman was appointed to support logging and commercial palm oil plantation activities.

    This situation has happened in several areas in Baram - according to Dennis. The tendency to appoint headman with political motives to facilitate the victory of GPS in Sarawak. But the effect of this Action damaged the harmony of society. Dennis suggested that a standard method be drafted for the appointment of the headman and that the appointed headman should not attempt to distance himself from politics and defend the rights of the village people from being encroached upon.

    Micheal Mering Jok, Secretary General of SCRIPS

    *No YB in selection committee, while political influence will be the deciding factor in the headman election*

    SCRIPS (Sarawak Indigenous Human Rights Organization) has been organizing the Traditional School Program for the past few years. Giving understanding to the indigenous people how the customs and culture of the indigenous people can be maintained, practiced, recorded and the correct practice creates harmonious social interaction.

    Regarding the appointment of the headman, Micheal explained that the appointment of the headman should come from the voice of the majority of the village people. Because the village people themselves understand and know who is most qualified to lead them at the village level. When the villagers have made a decision, then the proposed name will be sent to the selection committee at the district level (this committee is made up of members of parliament and assemblymen).

    According to Micheal, YB/ or members of parliament should not be members of this committee. Because it is feared that political influence will be the deciding factor in the election. And also this committee should not reject nominations from villagers, if there is no reasonable reason. The role of this committee is only for endorsement/confirmation/ratification only.

    Micheal emphasized that the headman who is elected by custom will fully understand the customs and culture of the people and will certainly defend the traditional land which is the heart of the life of the villagers. Headman leaders who allow logging in their areas, this is clear because they are appointed by certain people who have their own motives. Not for the benefit of the villagers.

    *urged PAS don’t bring politics into the Sports Game*

    MUDA is happy that sarawak has been chosen as host for SUKMA 2024. And this can bring unity and should be used as platform to Malaysians regardless of race and to uphold the spirit and values of Malaysia Madani

    But disapointed we have to entertain irresponsable allégations from PAS.

    Those allegations and critics must stop.

    We must defand decisions by MSN, KBS, as well as SUKMA committee.

    As we all know that Kelantan not ready to hold big sports event and as such need more time for préparation for SUKMA 2028 after several discussions and décision was agreed by all those who were présent in thé meeting between MSN, KBS or chairman and NGO Kelantan.

    And who there is issue being brought out by PAS Youth?
