John menjelaskan hampir 10 tahun beliau dalam parti DAP- cadangan untuk peruntukan khas untuk kaum Dayak sentiasa disuarakan. Namun Ketika itu DAP adalah pembangkang. Kini keadaannya jauh berbeza.
sekiranya diberi peluang bercakap kepada perdana Menteri. Beliau akan meminta peruntukan khas untuk kaum Dayak sebesar RM1 billion setahun. Memandangkan kaum Dayak Sarawak ketinggalan jauh dalam banyak bidang. Melalui dana khas 1 billion itu- 300 juta untuk membantu anak-anak Dayak yang cemerlang melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi di dalam dan di luar negara. 300 juta lagi akan digunakan untuk modal permulaan/teroka bagi kaum Dayak memulakan perniagaan atau memperbesarkan perniagaan dan 400 juta lagi digunakan dalam bidang agro pertanian. Kaum Dayak diketahui umum memiliki tanah yang luas. Tetapi tiada modal dan kepakaran serta teknologi untuk memajukannya. Dengan dana khas ini akan sangat membantu kaum Dayak.
Namun menurut John- kelemahan kaum Dayak selama ini, mereka hanya pandai bercakap melalui media sahaja atau meluahkan perasaan di FB. Sepatutnya cadangan kepada kementerian kewangan atau kementerian ekonomi dibuat dengan terperinci melalui forum, workshop, persidangan, kertas kerja dan mendapatkan data yang lengkap di lapangan. John mengharapkan semua pihak berkerjasama untuk menghasilkan plan yang konkrit untuk memajukan kaum Dayak Sarawak.

John explained that in his almost 10 years in the DAP party, proposals for special provisions for the Dayaks were always voiced. But at that time DAP was the opposition. Now the situation is much different.
if given the opportunity to speak to the Prime Minister. He will request a special allocation for the Dayaks amounting to RM1 billion per year. Since the Dayaks of Sarawak are far behind in many areas. Through a special fund of 1 billion - 300 million to help outstanding Dayak children continue their education to a higher level in the country and abroad. Another 300 million will be used for start-up/venture capital for Dayaks to start businesses or expand businesses and another 400 million will be used in the field of agro-agriculture. The Dayaks are known to have vast land. But there is no capital and expertise and technology to develop it. With this special fund, it will greatly help the Dayak people.
But according to John- the weakness of the Dayak people so far, they are only good at speaking through the media or expressing their feelings on FB. Proposals to the ministry of finance or the ministry of economy should be made in detail through forums, workshops, conferences, working papers and obtaining complete data in the field. John expects all parties to work together to produce a concrete plan to advance the Dayaks of Sarawak.
