John Brian Anthony- Sarawak Dayak political analyst.
*The Future of TYT Sarawak: Who Should Hold the Position?*
Astana State of Sarawak announced that all events celebrating the birthday of TYT Sarawak Taib Mahmud have been postponed. According to John- TYT's birthday celebration is traditionally a big celebration. Massive celebrations in big cities, parades, parades, TYT speeches and awarding of ranks and greatness. But because Taib is not well, this is all postponed. According to John Taib, he should be dismissed on the grounds that he is old and unwell. Taib has also held the position of TYT for a long time. This is to launch the state administration. It was asked if the candidate was considered worthy and if TYT should be from among politicians. John thinks TYT should not be based on politics. Anyone who has contributed services to the state and country, is honest, has integrity and is healthy. Eligible to be TYT. TYT also said that Dayak people should be given space and opportunities. Because there have been 7 TYT people in the past - all of them from the Malay/Melanau community. Indeed, we cannot determine who should be the Chief Minister - because it depends on the majority of seats in the state legislative assembly. But the position of TYT is open to anyone who has an excellent service record. It should now be the turn of the Dayaks. In order to create a balance. Premier from the Malay/Melanau community. TYT should be from Dayak or even China. It is better TYT from among non-politicians. There are politicians who want to become TYT to get immunity from the law. According to John-Temenggong, a prof or any excellent government official can be appointed as the next TYT Sarawak.

Komeok, Leader of Keruan
*Empowering Communities: The Importance of Informed Tree Planting*
Komeok, the leader of Keruan, discussed Sarawak's tree-planting project, where over 29 million trees have been planted as part of the Greening Sarawak 2.0 program. The goal is to reach 35 million trees by 2025, a milestone announced by the Forest Department Sarawak director, Hamden Mohammad. Sarawak stands out with the largest forested area in Malaysia, covering 7.67 million hectares.
However, Komeok pointed out the lack of transparency regarding the GPS government's tree-planting initiatives. He mentioned that in Baram, Samling has planted trees at KM10, but these trees are primarily for paper production and not for forest conservation.
Keruan NGO is actively promoting community-based tree planting, particularly on customary lands that have been exploited by logging companies. While the government's tree-planting projects lack clarity regarding the types of trees, quantities, and locations, NGOs are working diligently to educate and assist communities, especially those whose land rights have been exploited by companies like Samling and Shin Yang. These NGOs stress the importance of reforestation efforts.
In many interior areas, people are not well-informed about current affairs and might mistakenly view tree planting by the Forest Department or logging companies as a positive development. These actions can often be a form of land encroachment. NGOs are working to provide guidance to these communities on which tree species are beneficial for both the environment and local communities, as opposed to commercially-driven tree species that repeatedly exploit land rights.
Chris, Independent Journalist from Sarawak
*Is Robotics More Important than Ensuring the People Are Fed?*
Chris is concerned that if the Sarawak government truly wants to advance the use of robots, it will affect future job opportunities for the people. Why should we focus on robot-related matters when the ongoing rice price crisis remains a significant issue that should be prioritized for the people's well-being?

He expresses concern that every major project in Sarawak, such as Pan Borneo, has not been managed properly and still has numerous issues. What about other large projects like hospitals and bridges? They have yet to be completed. Now there's talk of investing in the development of robots, which raises concerns about where GPS intends to allocate funds while the people continue to struggle with economic pressures.
