THE NEWS - LANDS GRAB (BIBUKAR, SARAWAK)
I’ve been observing the trend and behaviour of the Bibukar that never wanted to open up their mind on politics and it games. I am sorry to say this since Opposition is given no change to win the constituencies either State Assembly or Parliamentary. They voted Barisan Nasional because the YB’s are kind to them; he build roads in the villages are tar-sealed them till the doorstep. Christoper Kiyui and Edward Luwak, both opposition candidate were sidelined for being vocal about perimeter survey in the constituency.
They could not think of second opinion and blames other as not educated, aboriginal, unwise and radical for supporting PKR and DAP. Politics has divided those who could not understand its games and drama. It is shameful, if we follow it games without understand and distinguish between good and bad politics and get ourselves blindly obsessed with it. We support the YB either because we want to get famous like him/them or just to follow the crowd.
Darod Sadong land has been a trap to the Bibukar after the perimeter survey is done and the land titles were given to them. These only comprise of the village home site and excluded “communal lands (pemakai menoa), pulau galau, explored forest (temuda)”. We only allowed to survey our village boundary but not our native lands; fruit farms, farm land which is far away from the villages. This will automatically declare as State Land since nobody claims those with documentation. I would say that this smart move by our YB and our “NGO” to only allow us to survey a tiny land for flocks and barnyard behind our house.
And now, the Bibukar are awakened by the recent logging concessionaire at the Darod Sadong. The issues that are spinning in my heads are:
1. Who is a Tebedu State representative? Only he and the Temengong who know the best on the Daros Sadong Status (either it is a state land or NCR land). Has Serian district office let the public (affected community) to know the issue?
2. Why the Bibukar are not informed earlier regarding on the logging concession? Why nobody tells it earlier? Who has the authority to approve and recommend any logging concession?
3. Who did they vote in the last 2 elections? Richard Riot?, Micheal Manyin? Edward Luwak or Christopher Kiyui?
4. If they voted for Barisan Nasional, then they should leave it to themselves to get the matter solved with any political intervention from PKR and DAP as what is always happening in BN’s constituencies.
5. The old people said “ don’t deny your land and don’t let other people encroach your lands because there will be nothing for your children”.
DR PATAU RUBIS
Perimeter survey without knowing Bidayuh Adat regarding village Boundaries can indeed be tragic. The BN government has compounded this issue by making the election of the village a selection process for BN hegemony and monopoly of the native Adat. However if BN continues to abuse their power, surely one day it will fall.
