The Voice of the Bidayuh. - Emerging from poverty and backwardness

Dear Fellow Bidayuh Brother and Sisters,

It is has been 42 years we enjoy independent through the formation of our beloved country Malaysia. In fact, we are still enjoying the so-called development. However, How far; the development has changed the daily life of the bidayuh. We have undergone eight Malaysia Plans. Nevertheless, can we say that; what we have achieved today is something we satisfied with? How about, the socio ?economy status of the bidayuh today? How about, the income level of the bidayuh? Did all the bidayuh kampongs fully equip with basic amenities such as clean water supply, electricity and proper road system? Are we have been neglected or are we been neglected by our ignorant attitude?

Dear Fellow Bidayuh Brother and Sisters,

Correct me, if I am wrong. So far, I have not seen any bidayuh leader that comes forward to say, ?Hello Mr. Prime Minister or Hello Tan Sri Pehin, this is the road map that I want you to incorporate inside your 9th Malaysia plan. I want to see my people to achieve this level of living standard? Some of you may ask, why not you do it and make the ball rolling. For me it is very simple. If I would do it, why should we have YB?s and MP?s ?
And even if I do so, people will accused of not respect my leaders or wakil rakyat.
I do not intend to blame our YB?s, through my knowledge I knew that some of our YB?s have works very very hard. However, we must remember that, works very hard is no longer valid in this modern world due to high demand from our rakyat. Our YB?s not only have to work hard but ?super extremely hard?. Because their achievement to develop and guide our people will be use as a yardstick to measure their success as a YB?s. I personally feel, if our YB?s persistently asks from Government (In fact, they also part of government). I am very sure that their voice will be listened. If Dato? Azahar Mansor can get sponsorship from the then PM Tun Mahathir, to bought his Jalur Gemilang for million of dollars by keep knocking PM door. So can we; keep knocking our Government door to get basic amenities.

? Even PM has quoted, ?Bukan kita nak pinggirkan rakyat, kalau wakil rakyat tak bawa masalah yang rakyat alami?.kita tak akan tahu.?

Did our leaders, have provided genuine report card on our people problems or just sweep the dust under the carpet?

PM also quoted, ?Work together with me, don?t work for me?

Did our leaders, have work super extremely hard to assist government to help our people?

DPM (Najip) also quoted during MIC dinner recently, ?We will share the cake equally in this coming 9th Malaysia Plan?.

The question is, How we the bidayuh acquire our share from the cake. If we do not even know how the cake taste and what it is the flavor? Are we just taking the piece of cake for the sake of eating cake? Are we just eating the cake and just sh*t it in the toilet bowl?
Or Are we going to turn this piece of cake into gold or maybe diamond? You know the answer best.

Dear Fellow Bidayuh Brother and Sisters,

Last week, I was so happen to drop by at Wisma MCA, KL as an unofficial observer. Some of MCA member was busy discussing what agenda to be incorporated into the 9th Malaysia Plans. Their leaders have taken the 9th Malaysia Plan agenda as very important agendas. Because they believe, what they plan and ask from the government in 9th Malaysia Plan today will reflect their future. Did any of our leader or DBNA draw a road map for our beloved bidayuh? I would like to Know? Are we going to wait for next Malaysia Plans to do so?

Dear Fellow Bidayuh Brother and Sisters,

This is very crucial time for us to draw our road map toward better bidayuh. Why are we blaming Kirieng and bisina? While us doing ALMOST nothing? Why are we blaming Government, if we do not ask what we wanted? Why are we blaming governments, if there is no project for the bidayuh? No project, ask our YB?s to create project. If no project after knocking their door rapidly?..Simple ??.DON?T VOTE FOR THEM !
Or Are we still want to be very cheap by selling our voting right just RM50? Or Are we still scared of ?TURAH?? What ?TURAH? are you scare of ? Don?t you ever think, living in poor condition like this is worse than ?TURAH??

Dear Fellow Bidayuh Brother and Sisters,

?Ice is produced from water, and yet Ice is colder than water? What I am trying to say is, we the rakyat create and decide the government but yet rakyat still scared of government.

Sit down and think Dear Fellow Bidayuh Brother and Sisters,

List down what we want from the government in this 9th Malaysia Plans. It is very crucial brother and sisters. Let me repeat?? very very crucial. (Some of you maybe think, are we going to be ?masyarakat subsidi?) Tell me brother and sisters, which ?masyarakat? in this world is not been subsidized. Even the American, is subsidized by the Jews. So are we still pretend to be shame in this ?naked world? ?

Dear Fellow Bidayuh Brother and Sisters,

I would like to apologize, if my posting hurt all of you. I am not racist and I am not blaming anybody. What I wanted to emphasized here is just that; tell the government what we want in this 9th Malaysia Plans in order for our government to plan for us.

Shalom ! God Bless You.
