NCR - Masing owes Dayaks one big explanation





I was baffled and astonished to
read the remark recently by James Masing (PRS half-president) in
referring to a DAP state assembly person’s debate on the land issue in
the Sarawak state assembly as a ‘cultural arrogance". I wonder, with
his doctorate in anthropology, yet he has invented such term which to
him simply means: ‘Don't tell the Dayaks what land means to them and
what Dayaks need to do to develop such land’.
In
other words, Masing was telling the world that the Dayaks (Masing
included) already knew all issues related to land development
(including all the amendments to Land Code and other laws related to
land) and need no help from non-Dayaks.

Well,
well, here we go. I am even more shameful when it takes Chinese state
assembly persons (Ting Tze Hui (DAP-Meradong) and Voon Lee Shan
(DAP-Batu Lintang) to raise the issue concerning Dayaks most revered
heritage (land) whilst the bunch of 26 Dayak so-called YBs sit in
deafening silence in the dewan echoing what Masing said. Forget about scoring political mileage.

My
questions are: Do you all (Masing and the 26 Dayak YBs) really fully
understand the subsequent implications of what the Land Code’s recent
series of amendments were? Do you all truthfully believe it when the
Minister of Resource Planning (Taib Mahmud) explained in 2001 that the
amendment (and subsequent ammendments) were necessary to enable and
allow for smooth land transactions involving native customary rights
(NCR)?
Have you all forgotten that
in1965, the so-called ‘The Land Bill Crisis’ when the then CM Kalong
Ningkan tabled the Land Bill, almost similar to the current amendment,
but the Bill was withdrawn as it received objections from a majority of
the state assembly persons then? This then led to the unpopularity of
the late Kalong Ningkan.
Since you,
Masing, claim to be the supremely knowledgeable person to speak about
land and NCR issues, I beg you to justify the state government’s
wrongdoings and systematic extinguishment of our NCR by giving
satisfactory explanations to these questions.
Did
you all honestly know that the whole Land Code Amendment intention was
to facilitate the acquisition of native land to be developed into
large-scale oil palm plantations? Do you all not know that as the Land
Code amendments stands now, Native Customary Rights over land may be
extinguished via the Land Code?
Do
you not know that surveys to determine the compensation payable are
being questioned and challenged as being arbitrary? Do you all not
already know that some communities who are challenging the
extinguishment of their land rights and compensation are those who have
been affected by the Bakun Dam project and the Borneo Pulp and Paper
Project in Bintulu?
Do you not know
that for the Dayaks, land is not a commodity to be simply traded for
money? That Land is a living entity that is precious and holds a deep
spiritual meaning for us and is revered in our society and this also
means that it cannot be simply be bought and sold?
You
and your shameful Dayak state assembly colleagues owe the whole Dayak
community and our generations an explanation to justify the Sarawak
government’s ruthless and inhumane treatment of defenders of NCR.
If
you can't justify these actions, then let others do. But what does this
mean? It means you and your bunch of ‘mentally arrogant’ Dayak YBs are
irrelevant and be ready to be voted out - sooner than you think.

Kecian DAYAK sbb kerena PEMIMPIN yg x mengenal ASAL USUL..

i'm really p*** off today....tadi saya buka n baca tentang kenaikan harga minyak kat malaysia dalam online news, saya boleh katakan ia adalah kenaikan yg melampau....40% naik!!! make nonsense... today i feel so pity to be malaysian..., kerajaan seolah olah menghukum rakyat. i couldnt believed when malaysia who always claimed to be nett exporter of the 'black gold', raised the fuel price like crazy....

di office, saya bercerita dgn member2 n mereka cukup hairan kenapa negara kita sebagai pengeksport minyak mempunyai harga yg tinggi bagi harga domestik sedangkan negara mengaut keuntungan yg besar dr pengeksportan minyak negara kita. semakin harga minyak naik, semakin byk yg kita dpat. saya dapat lihat kebodohan pak lah apabila selalu membandingkan harga minyak kita dengan singapura n indonesia...singapura bukan negara yg menghasilkan minyak and indonesia baru sja keluar dr OPEC, bermaksud mereka bukan negara pengeksport minyak lg (lees operations)....cuba la bandingkan dgn brunei.

crude oil yg didapati di negara kita merupakan minyak yg berkualiti tinggi dan mempunyai harga yg tinggi di pasaran dunia. bila kita eksport yg berkualiti tinggi dan kita import yg berkualiti rendah, kita mendapat keuntungan dr segi jualan. tapi kerajaan tetap cakap yg kita kerugian 56 billion utk subsidi....

anyway...cerita panjang2 pun susah juga...semua kita tahu menilai. kat sini saya ada perbandingan antara negara2 yg nett exporter for 'black gold' and percaya lah it was true...officemate saya sekurang-kurangnya satu dr mereka dr negara berkenaan....

UAE=RM 1.19/liter
Mesir= RM1.03/liter
Kuwait=RM 0.67/liter
Nigeria=RM0.32/Liter
Venezuela=RM0.16/Liter

based on rate USD 1= Rm 3.23

i was thinking to use motorbike now....hehehe...i will say nothing kalau kerajaan cuba utk memperbaiki public transportation seluruh negara terlebih dahulu...( kesian org yg kat ulu terpaksa menanggung beban...)org kat kpg pun mmg akan terasa nanti coz pengangkutan utama pergi ke ladang adalah menggunakan motosikal...

Betul ttu...
memang teruk lan2 dise taup de...
Mlm tadi ke lepak ngan tuyang ke.. ha SUnway.. SO dalam masa2 lepak2 tu... Jalan FEDERAL HIGHWAY & LDP SESAK teruk sampai hampir 1.00am.. gara2 org bergegas2 mauk beli minyak... ada juga yg tersadai dekat jalan raya krn kereta ada mslh krn terlalu lama bersesak2 & ada juga kehabiasan minyak. Kecian juga... Saya & kawan saya kecian tgk satu LORI MOX (liquid gas) yg nak membuat U-Turn dr Federal Highway (arah ke KL) ke sblh Federal Highway (arah ke Shah Alam).. Bayankan jarak s sampai 1km saja.. dia ambil masa more than 40 minutes..

On d way saya balik ada 3 stesen minyak yg sy lalui... tutup awal sbb kehabisan MINYAK... Malah seorg kawan saya yg kol saya MEMAKI PAK LAH sbb kwsn perumahan dia kehabisan minyak untuk 3 stesen minyak...
teruk betullah...
maybe ini lah FAEDAHnya kita sokong BN...
PAK LAH memang BODOH sebodohnya..

Harga Minyak

Harga
minyak mentah naik sebanyak 400 peratus sejak tiga tahun lepas. Lambat
laun harga barangan juga akan alami kenaikan. Di negara-negara lain
harga petrol sudahpun naik. Di United Kingdom satu liter petrol dijual
pada kadar lebih satu pound sterling atau lebih kurang RM7. Di Amerika
Syarikat harganya lebih kurang RM5.

Petunjuk bahawa harga minyak
di negara-negara jiran mengalami kenaikan ialah bagaimana kenderaan
Thai dan juga Singapura berpusu-pusu mengisi minyak di Malaysia.

Kerajaan umumkan kenaikan petrol sebanyak 78 sen ke RM2.70, kenaikan melebihi 40 peratus.

Saya
mungkin tersilap, tetapi ternampak kekurangan jumlah kenderaan di
jalanraya hari ini. Tetapi kesannya bukanlah terhad kepada itu sahaja.
Barangan pengguna, perkhidmatan dan barangan mewah akan mengalami
peningkatan harga.

Kos sara hidup sudah tentu meningkat. Dilihat daripada sudut lain akan tercetus inflasi dan taraf kehidupan akan menurun.

Memanglah
kenaikan harga petrol di sini jauh lebih rendah daripada di United
Kingdom, mahupun Amerika Syarikat. Tetapi pendapatan per kapita kita
adalah lebih kurang satu pertiga mereka. Berasas kepada kuasa membeli
kita kenaikan harga adalah lebih tinggi dari UK atau Amerika Syarikat.

Kenaikan
ini menyakitkan, tetapi sakitnya lebih dirasai bukan kerana kenaikan
dari segi peratusan adalah lebih tinggi daripada negara-negara maju,
tetapi kerana cara kenaikan tersebut dibuat.

Beberapa hari
lepas Kerajaan putuskan untuk haramkan penjualan minyak kepada
kenderaan milik asing. Tunggang. Sekarang kenderaan asing dibenar
membeli semula. Terbalik!

Mengetahui yang ianya akan menaikkan
harga minyak dalam beberapa hari dan orang asing akan dibenar membeli,
kenapa Kerajaan tidak menunggu sahaja daripada keluaran arahan larangan
dan kemudian benarkan semula.

Namun begitu apakah yang Kerajaan boleh lakukan untuk meringankan beban kepada rakyat hasil daripada kenaikan harga petrol.

Pertamanya,
Kerajaan tidak patut mengapungkan Ringgit. Kadar apungan menyebabkan
ketidak-tentuan nilai Ringgit dan kita tidak akan meraih apa-apa
keuntungan daripada kekuatan Ringgit. Sudah tentu rakyat tidak
menikmati peningkatan kuasa membeli walaupun terdapat peningkatan nilai
Ringgit dari segi tukaran dengan Dollar Amerika.

Sebenarnya
Ringgit mengalami peningkatan lebih kurang 80 sen (daripada RM3.80 ke
RM3.08 pada 1 US Dollar) satu US Dollar, melebihi 20 peratus. Jika
Kerajaan teruskan sistem tambatan kadar dan menaikkan nilai Ringgit
pada kadar 10 peratus pada satu masa, kos import, dalam Ringgit boleh
dipantau dan dikurangkan sebanyak 10 peratus. Pada kadar kenaikan 20
peratus, kos import patutnya turun 20 peratus. Tetapi kita tahu harga
barangan import dan perkhidmatan tidak kurang. Ini bermakna kita bayar
20 peratus lebih tinggi untuk import termasuk bagi bahan mentah dan
komponen untuk industri

Oleh sebab harga minyak disebut dalam
Dollar Amerika, kenaikan harga minyak dalam Dollar sepatutnya
dikurangkan sebanyak 20 pertaus dalam Ringgit Malaysia.

Tetapi
Kerajaan hendak turut Tabung Kewangan Antarabangsa dan Bank Dunia dan
telah putuskan untuk mengapung Ringgit. Akibatnya kekuatan Ringgit
hanya meningkatkan kos export tanpa memberi sebarang keuntungan kepada
rakyat menerusi kekurangan kos import.

Ini bukanlah kecerdikan
selepas sesuatu itu terjadi. Saya telah beritahu seorang Menteri
Kerajaan supaya Ringgit tidak diapungkan tiga tahun lalu. Memanglah
saya bukan pakar dan saya hanya tahu serba sedikit tentang rejim
kewangan antarabangsa.

Saya percaya umum terpaksa menerima
kenaikan harga petrol. Tetapi apa yang menimbulkan kemarahan ialah
jumlah kenaikan serta keadaan tergesa-gesa. Perdana Menteri sebelum ini
seolah-olah mencadangkan kenaikan hanya pada bulan Ogos, tetapi ianya
datang dua bulan lebih awal, sejurus selepas pengharaman penjualan
kepada orang asing.

Jika kenaikan berperingkat, rakyat tidak
akan terlalu terasa. Tetapi ini bermakna Kerajaan perlu terus beri
subsidi walaupun tahapnya akan menurun.

Mampukah Kerajaan
terus beri subsidi? Saya “penasihat” Petronas tetapi saya tahu sedikit
sahaja berkenaannya dan tidak lebih daripada apa yang dilaporkan dalam
akaunnya yang diumumkan. Apa yang saya tahu mungkin tidak begitu tepat
tetapi cukup untuk saya membuat beberapa penilaian.

Malaysia mengeluar lebih kurang 650,000 tong minyak sehari. Kita guna 400,000 tong dan selebihnya 250,000 tong di export.

Tiga
tahun lalu minyak mentah dijual pada kadar USD30 satu tong. Hari ini
ianya USD130 – kenaikan sebanyak USD100. Hampir tiada peningkatan di
dalam kos pengeluaran oleh itu lebihan USD100 boleh dianggap untung
bersih.

250,000 tong yang dieksport sepatutnya memberi kita
pulangan 250,000 x 100 x 365 x 3 = RM27,375,000,000 (Dua puluh tujuh
bilion Ringgit).

Tetapi Petronas untung lebih RM70 billion, yang kesemuanya milik Kerajaan.

Kerajaan ini melimpah dengan wang.

Selain
minyak, harga minyak sawit, getah dan timah juga meningkat lebih kurang
400 peratus. Keuntungan syarikat perladangan dan bank-bank juga
mencecah sehingga RM3 billion tiap satu. Cukai yang dibayar juga sudah
tentu mengalami peningkatan yang tinggi.

Saya percaya jika subsidi dikekalkan dan dikurangkan secara berperingkat ianya tidak akan mengekang kewangan Kerajaan.

Di
dalam jangka masa terdekat cara untuk mengurangkan pembaziran dan
menaikkan pendapatan mestilah diperkenal. Kita mungkin tidak dapat
menetapkan gaji minima, tetapi sudah tentu kita boleh meningkatkan
sedikit jumlah gaji minima.

Sebenarnya pendapatan kita tinggi
berbanding sesetengah jiran kita. Pelabur yang datang ke sini tertarik
bukan dengan harga buruh murah, tetapi faktor-faktor lain termasuk
sikap dan pendekatan Kerajaan tehadap komuniti perniaga terutamanya
pelabur.

Daripada apa yang saya dengar, sikap mesra peniaga
amat berkurangan pada Kerajaan sekarang hinggakan orang Malaysia juga
melabur di luar negara. Terdapat cakap-cakap berkenaan hubungan politik
mempengaruhi keputusan. Secara amnya ahli politik Kerajaan dikatakan
sombong.

Malaysia tidak punyai cukup tenaga kerja. Industri
yang memerlukan tenaga pekerja yang ramai tidak menguntungkan Malaysia.
Pekerja asing menghantar jumlah wang yang besar ke negara asal mereka.

Polisi
industri mestilah bertukar agar teknologi tinggi dapat dipromosikan
untuk memberi rakyat Malaysia lebihan pendapatan bagi menampung kos
sara hidup yang meningkat.

Dunia sedang menghadapi kecelaruan
ekonomi akibat penurunan nilai Dollar Amerika, krisis pinjaman
sub-prima, kenaikan harga minyak dan bahan mentah, kekurangan makanan
dan akiviti tamak “hedge funds” yang berterusan. Kemungkinan berlakunya
resesi ekonomi Amerika Syarikat adalah benar. Sebenarnya Amerika
Syarikat sedang mengalami kelembapan ekonomi. Ekonomi dunia akan turut
ditarik turun.

Malaysia juga akan terjejas kesan daripada
semua masalah ini. Saya tertanya adakah Kerajaan bersedia untuk
menghadapi semua ini.

Kita tidak boleh lari daripada akibat
negatif tetapi mestilah ada cara untuk mengatasinya agar beban yang
terpaksa ditanggung rakyat dapat dikurangkan. Saya harap yang Kerajaan
tidak akan melepaskan sahaja segala masalah ini kepada rakyat seperti
ynag digambarkan cadangan untuk menilai harga minyak setiap bulan.

Kesan kenaikkan harga minyak di Uma Bakah:

1. Tambang ke ladang akan naik.
2. Tambang ke bintulu naik.
3. Harga barang makan naik.
4. Harga / Bil elektrik naik.

Cara mengatasi:

1. Buat "lupong" di ladang dan tidur di lupong. Jangan berulang alik.
2. Kurang kan ke bandar terutamanya bintulu.
3. Tanam makanan dan pelihara ayam. Atau balik semula ke ulu Balui.. pakai perahu semula.
4. Tidak payah pakai elektrik... pakai pelita minya tanah.. still kena beli benjin utk minyak tanah... aiya.. susah.

Secara umumnya, kenaikkan harga minyak ini bakal membuat hidup kita tertekan dan orang kampung yg tidak mempunyai pendapatan tetap yang paling merasa "musibah" ini.

Memang... saya tidak tahu duit subsidi tu dibelanja untuk apa... subsidi memang duit rakyat dan hrus dibenlanjakan untuk rakyat. Kenapa harus dikurangkan/dimansuhkan? Subsidi itu disimpan untuk apa?

Hello all,

Pls give ur opinion on this bible verse: Mathew 23:24..

Begini ayatnya: Matius 23:24 Hai kamu pemimpin-pemimpin buta, nyamuk kamu tapiskan dari dalam minumanmu, tetapi unta yang di dalamnya kamu telan.
Dalam Bahasa Inggeris: Matthew 23: 24
Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!

Pendapat saya:
1. Ayat di atas adalah peribahasa atau perumpamaan yang membawa banyak maksud. Maksud ini boleh diterjemah mengikut tempat, keadaan semasa dan bersesuaian dengan ajaran Tuhan.

2. Dalam bahasa malaysia, ada sebuah pepatah mengatakan," Nyamuk di seberang laut nampak, gajah di depan mata tak nampak". Peribahasa ini ada persamaannya.

3. Maksudnya; kesalahan yang dibuat oleh orang lain walaupun sangat kecil dan tidak memberi signifikasi diperbesar-besarkan tetapi kesalahan sendiri yang cukup untuk mengucar-kacirkan keadaan dibuat-buatnya tak tahu.

4. Ayat yang dipetik dari Matius di atas mempunyai pengertian yang lebig besar dari itu. Jika kita baca dari ayat yang sebelumnya dan selepasnya, kita akan mengetahui bahawa ayat ini merangkumi aspek-aspek keadilan dan belas kasihan dan kesetiaan.

5. Malah ayat selepas itu ada menyangkut tentang rasuah.

6. Matius 23:23 Celakalah kamu, hai ahli-ahli Taurat dan orang-orang Farisi, hai kamu orang-orang munafik, sebab persepuluhan dari selasih, adas manis dan jintan kamu bayar, tetapi yang terpenting dalam hukum Taurat kamu abaikan, yaitu: keadilan dan belas kasihan dan kesetiaan. Yang satu harus dilakukan dan yang lain jangan diabaikan.

7. Matius 23:25 Celakalah kamu, hai ahli-ahli Taurat dan orang-orang Farisi, hai kamu orang-orang munafik, sebab cawan dan pinggan kamu bersihkan sebelah luarnya, tetapi sebelah dalamnya penuh rampasan dan kerakusan.

Harap ada yang boleh menerangkan lagi ayat ini dengan lebih jelas...

Gud job Udem!.. Actually.. these are the characters of all our guides of minister today.. thats y our country become more and more extremist and prejudice towards somthing..they no more consent about the people's right and needs.. they only wants to fight and fight for power! sapa yg lebih pandai dia lah menang

tq for the v.meaningfull sharing.. Tuhan memberkati..

Thanks... harap kita boleh share opinion masing-masing di sini. saya percaya banyak dikalangan kita yang boleh memberi perkongsian pendapat yang lebih baik.

Lihan: Crab mentality slows progress of Orang Ulu

MIRI: Almost every ethnic community in the state seems to be affected by the ‘crab mentality’. The crab mentality seems to be affecting the Orang Ulu community also if the view of the president of the Federation of Orang Ulu Associations of Malaysia (Forum) Lihan Jok is of any indication.
He said the minority group, which seemed to have achieved some level of success since Independence, had not progressed as much as it should be because the crab mentality was still prevailing among them.

Lihan said this in an interview after presenting a working paper called ‘Success So Far: A Scoreboard On The Significance Progress Made By The Orang Ulu Community Since Independence’ during the Orang Ulu Cultural Symposium at the civic centre here yesterday. The symposium with the theme ‘Unity of Vision and Struggle’ was organised by the federation.
Present also were the organising chairman Ose Murang who is also Forum secretary-general, Ba Kelalan assemblyman Nelson Balang Rining, Belaga assemblyman Liwan Lagang, Batu Danau assemblyman Paulus Gumbang and Temengggong Pahang Ding.

Lihan said the crab mentality was remnant of the old belief carried forward to this modern era by some sections of the community. The mentality is a common phenomenon of trying to pull down someone from the same community who is successful in his endeavours. It is just like crabs in a basket, which will try to pull down the other to prevent one from getting to the top. Lihan, however, was certain that the crab mentality would, over time, turn into a healthy competition among the successful members of the community.

“This healthy competition will come about as more and more of our successful people do networking with each other and with other communities in this globalised world, ” said Lihan. Earlier, in presenting his paper at the symposium, Lihan outlined four factors, which had brought positive changes to the Orang Ulu community. They were education, economic activity, political involvement, and religion.

Among the four factors, religion is seen as the turning point for a major breakthrough for the community. “The breakthrough came when the community embraced Christianity and discarded their pagan belief. In the process we began to adopt a more global outlook. We began to love one another instead of trying to kill in the guise of headhunting, which was allowed by the old belief. “Nowadays, we have our own church elders and even manage to send missionaries to other countries as well,” Lihan said.

According to the 2000 census, the Orang Ulu make up 0.4 per cent or 117,690 people of the country’s population. To date, the community has 13 PhD holders, 190 Master’s degree holders, 809 bachelor degree holders, 1,111 diploma holders, and 280 other professional certificate holders.
Profession-wise, the community has 48 engineers, 16 doctors, 47 lawyers, 13 lecturers, six professors, five scientists, 35 accountants, two pilots, and 45 managers.

Dam forces indigenous people into the middle of nowhere






By Richard Lloyd Parry in Bakun, Malaysia


From the river bank, and even
with the mess of access roads and administration buildings that have
sprung up around, it is still possible to look with wonder on the land
around the Bakun Rapids.

From
the river bank, and even with the mess of access roads and
administration buildings that have sprung up, it is still possible to
look with wonder on the land around the Bakun Rapids. Above, plump
clouds sweep across a blue sky; below, the brown waters of the Rajang,
Malaysia's longest river, churn over the rocks. Beneath the cover of
the tropical trees is one of the richest concentrations of animals,
birds, and insects in the world.In this corner of the Malaysian
state of Sarawak are 800 individual species of plants and 300 different
animals, 43 of them rare or endangered: pythons and sun bears,
hornbills and drongoes, bats and mantises. Only one species is lacking
from the land upstream of Bakun ­ man.Until a few years ago this
jungle was the home to almost 10,000 people, the indigenous people of
Borneo ­ collectively known as the Dayaks ­ whose ancestors have lived
here longer than anyone knows.But quite soon, probably within
the next five years, their home will have disappeared for ever. The
gurgling rapids will be overwhelmed by a vast hydro-electric dam, 650
feet tall. And a vast area of jungle ­ at 70,000 hectares it is an area
larger than Singapore ­ will be flooded to create Borneo's largest lake.The
notorious Bakun Dam project ­ twice started and twice suspended ­ is on
again, and with it a bitter and unresolved controversy. To the
government of Malaysia and its Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the
Bakun Dam will be one of the jewels of its ambitious program of
economic development, a triumph of engineering that would bring cheap
electricity to all parts of Malaysia. Construction was twice
put on hold because of economic troubles, most recently in 1997. Its
critics have accused the government of corruption in the award of
construction contracts, and of extravagant and uneconomic overspending.
The government seems to acknowledge this itself: when the
resumption of the project was announced last February, it was less
ambitious, costing 9bn ringgit (£1.7bn) rather than the original 15bn
ringgit (£2.8bn).There are concerns about the effect of the dam
on the surrounding area, especially on fish and other wildlife
downstream. But the greatest anger has been over the treatment of the
original inhabitants of Bakun, who have been forcibly evicted from
their homes and relocated. "A gaping hole has been blown in their
social fabric," concluded one report by a group of Malaysian NGOs.
"Their culture and their future is in serious jeopardy. Despite the
many, many warnings, this represents a gigantic failure of planning."The
village of Long Jawe, where Elie Lawing and his family live, is three
years old and inhabited by a few hundred of the Dayaks known as the
Kenyah people. At first glance, their new home looks decent enough, an
arrangement of four long houses built in an open patch of cleared
jungle. In the traditional style, each family has an apartment that
opens on to a long communal verandah. But this is a village designed by
a committee, a crude attempt at doing for the Kenyah what they have
been doing for themselves for centuries.After the Bakun Dam was
first announced eight years ago, government officials visited the old
village of Long Jawe and told Mr Elie that he had to leave: "There was
no choice. They told us, 'Either you take this, or you go to hell'."
For Mr Elie, his wife, three daughters and five grandchildren, life has
never been the same again.It is strange to hear it from people
who are used to living in a jungle, but the biggest problem with the
new Long Jawe is that it is in the middle of nowhere. The old village
was in a virgin forest, by a river which served as a bath, a source of
food, and a means of transport. The nearest town, with its school and
market, was 30 minutes away by boat. But from the new village, the only
way of getting around is to take an expensive ride in the Jeeps, which
a few villagers bought with their compensation money. "When we lived
beside the river and the forest, there was so much food," said Mr Elie.
"Fish, deer, wild boar. Here there's nothing. The only thing that comes
down the river is the logs that the companies have chopped down."In
their former home the Kenyah's back garden was a forest, where they
could plant rice and gather the jungle fruit, as well as collect rattan
that the women would dye and weave into beautiful baskets. Here the
family has a mere three acres, inconveniently far from the long-house.
But the biggest problem is the building itself.Dayak long-houses
are feats of carpentry and engineering, their design perfected by
centuries of experiment and experience. But rather than consulting the
people who would live there, the Malaysian government inexplicably
commissioned a British company to build the long-houses. "I believe
that in England, people do not live in long-houses," Mr Elie says
dryly. "So why was an English company asked to build a long-house for
us? We know how to choose and cut wood, and this wood is the worst
quality."On the walls hang shields, swords, and the brightly
coloured head-dresses of beads and hornbill that the Kenyah wear on
their festival days. Yet the walls themselves are plywood, already
stained by rain. The stairs leading up to the long house have rotted to
pieces; the sewage pipes leak. To add to the insult, each of the
families is being asked to pay 52,000 ringgit (£10,000) for their
apartments, far more than most of them have received in compensation.For
the first time in their lives, Mr Elie's family have to pay a water
bill. Ironically, given the dam's purpose, the electricity here costs
far more than before.The switch to a cash economy has forced
families apart, as sons and husbands leave home to find work in the
small towns and palm oil plantations. Mr Elie's wife, Pujie Apoi, still
weaves, but there is no longer any rattan to be found. Instead, she now
uses threads of lurid plastic. The designs are the same, her fingers
are as quick and nimble, but all the beauty and the authenticity of the
baskets and papooses has drained out of them.

hahahaa memang betoll....

hehehe....mmg betul la...jauh2 merantau...ke tempat asal juga kita balik.

sbb nak cari hujan emas la dulu kan3...heheheh

"Hujan emas di negeri, hujan batu di negeri sendiri. Lebih baik lagi di negeri sendiri daripada tinggal di negeri orang". Sebenarnya maksud daripada perpatah ini bukan hanya merangkumi pendapatan/income. Perpatah ini juga merangkumpi pelbagai aspek kehidupan seperti budaya, cara hidup dan interaksi dlm komuniti.

Memang betul kadang2 di negara orang gaji/income itu ada yang tinggi. Tetapi tidak semuanya... ada negara2 yang tidak memberi gaji yang tinggi kepada pekerja2 asing. Kita di Malaysia masih lagi bertuah kerana kita masih boleh hidup dengan pendapatan yang kita perolehi. Malah ada org2 yg mempunyai pendapatan yang lebih tinggi drpd orang2 yg pergi ke luar negara.

Mengenai cara hidup dan budaya, secara lahiriahnya perpatah ini masih releven lagi kerana apabila kita ke luar negara, budaya dan cara hidup orang di sana tidak sama dengan budaya dan cara hidup kita di tanah air. Oleh itu, kalau kita berada di luar negara, kira tertunggu2 musim cuti supaya dapat balik kampung dan meluangkan masa dengan keluarga. Walaubagaimanapun di era globalisasi ini, seseorang itu boleh "bekerja" di luar tanpa dia perlu pergi ke sana. Segala kerja yang dia buat adalah di Malaysia dan kerja itu dibuat utk orang di luar negara seperti di Amerika, Jepun atau di Eropah. Dalam keadaan seperti ini, kita boleh mengubah perpatah ini menjadi "hujan batu dan hujan emas ada di merata-rata".

Manakala dalam istilah interaksi dlm komuniti, sudah tentu di negara lain cukup asing bagi kita... daripada cara berkomunikasi sehinggalah kepada cara berpakaian dan makanan, memang berlainan. Dlm komuniti kita, kita berkomunikasi dengan cara yang lemah lembut. Tetapi di negara lain, mungkin caranya berbeza.

Oleh itu saya rasa orang2 yg berpeluang ke luar negara itu sangat bertuah dan saya tahu setiap daripada kita ingin bekerja ke luar negara... tetapi tidak semua orang yg boleh menikmati peluang itu. Kepada mereka2 yg berpeluang meneroka ke luar negara, ambillah kesempatan utk mempelajari budaya, cara hidup dan kemajuan orang di sana dan bawalah bersama apabila kamu balik ke tempat asal nanti.

Wah panjang da'u explanation ko Udem... memang... siok te j laie...

Mihey te laie... harap2 telu un masa tai sepetang ha BTU te mading!
