My Piece of Mind on BIDAYUH KELIRU

Posted by Nilson on November 01, 2006 at 12:54:09:

These questions are really amazing. I would like to give my one two cents also, with reference to the original questions:

1. Mengapa bidayuh belum ada bahasa rasmi? Susah sanggatkah nak pilih salah satu bahasa sub-etnik dan jadikan bahasa rasmi? Sampai bila pun bidayuh tak akan bersatu kerana tiada bahasa rasmi. INGAT, Bahasa Melambangkan Bangsa.Susah-susah, jadikan saja bahasa inggeris atau bahasa melayu sarawak sebagai bahasa rasmi kalau semua tak nak bertolak ansur.

IS IT FOR THE SINS OF OUR FOREFATHERS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE? WHOEVER THAT HAD READ "SHUN NYUMBA NANG" MUST HAVE A BRIEF IDEA WHAT IS THIS QUESTION ALL ABOUT. THE FIRST ARTICLES IN THE "SHUN NYAMBA NANG" TOLD A STORY OF THE GREAT FLOOD, AND TO MAKE IT SHORT, GOD GAVE TO ALL THE NATIONS (INCLUDING BIDAYUH), A LETTER (SURAT) FOR THEM TO KEEP SAFE UNTIL THEY REACH SAFETY FROM THE FLOOD. EVERY AND EACH NATIONS KEEP THEIR LETTER ACCORDINGLY. THE BIDAYUH, KEPT THEIR IN THEIR "TA-UP" (CAWAT). AND YOU ALL CAN GUESS WHAT HAPPENED, RIGHT? YEAHH.. ALL OTHER NATIONS KEPT SAFE THEIR LETTER TILL THEY REACH SAFETY, BUT FOR THE BIDAYUH, THE LETTER WENT MISSING... PROBABLY DAMAGED BECAUSE OF WETNESS, OR, YOU KNOW.. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU KEEP PAPERS IN THE "TA-UP" WHILE SWIMMING IN THE SEA OF WATER. THAT, MY FRIEND, ALTHOUGH IS JUST A "SHUN NYAMBA NANG", MAY WELL EXPLAINS OUR GROANS ON WHY WE, BIDAYUH, NEVER HAVE OUR OFFICIAL LANGUAGE. AS A BIATAH, I MAY BE BIASED FOR I HOPE "BIATAH" CAN BE OUR OFFICIAL BIDAYUH LANGUAGE. BUT THEN, WHAT THE HECK... DON'T GO FOR ONE SUB-ETHNIC TONGUE... MAKE ALL BIDAYUH TONGUE A LANGUAGE TO LEARN! LET US SHOWS THAT WE, BIDAYUH, ARE A NATION OF EQUALITY.

ALL BIDAYUH SHALL LEARN ALL OTHER SUB-LANGUAGES. WE ALSO NEED TO LEARN OTHER LANGUAGES, E.G. ENGLISH, B.M., CHINESE LANGUAGES AND EVEN TAMIL, MAYBE. BEING TOLERATE IS NOT BY SACRIFICING ALL OTHER LANGUAGES FOR ONE. TOLERANT IS PRESERVING ALL LANGUAGES WITHOUT PREFERENCE TO ONE. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

2. Mengapa DBNA seperti tak berfungsi langsung? kelihatannya seperti sebuah kelab rasmi untuk segelintir orang tertentu (kaya) sahaja.Mengapa tak memperhebatkan pengambilan ahli-ahli di setiap pelusuk dunia (of coz bidayuh sahaja). Lebih ramai ahli, lebih banyak yuran yang dikumpul dan lebih banyak aktiviti yang dapat dilaksanakan. Bayangkan ada 100,000 ahli dan setiap ahli membayar RM1 setiap tahun, sekurang-kurangnya dah ada RM100,000.00 dana yang dikumpul. Itu baru RM1, golongan profesional kenakanlah RM10 setahun, banyak ne lah RM10 bagi James Dawos, Michael Manyin dan pakatan YBnya. Kalau boleh sponsor 3 case TIGER sekali duduk minum, takkan RM10 pun tak dapat. Ada pula yang sanggup bayar RM200 untuk Dr. Jerip me'sumbang'kan lagu dalam satu majlis parti.Dan pleaselah, jangan jadikan DBNA sebagai gelanggang mengumpul pengaruh politik. DBNA adalah NGO dan biarlah ia kekal sebagai NGO.

DBNA... WHAT SHIT IS DBNA? I THINK DBNA HAS BECAME A SHIT JUST LIKE UMNO, ETC. MOST OF US EDUCATED BIDAYUH FEELS THAT THERE IS NO NECESSITY FOR DBNA TO EVEN EXIST. HOW MANY OF US REALLY RELY ON DBNA TO FURTHER OUR STUDY? I MYSELF, NEVER EVEN CONTACT DBNA AND I MANAGED TO COMPLETE MY DEGREE AND GOT MYSELF A CAREER NOW. WE ARE BIDAYUH! WE DO NOT NEED AN NGO OR ANY SUCH THINGS TO BE DEPENDENT TO. INDEPENDENT IS OUR NAMESAKE! REMEMBER, WE BEARS THE BLOOD OF MANGGENG...WHERE IS OUR BIDAYUH SPIRIT? A SPIRIT OF A ONE MAN CALLED "A WANDERER FROM BORNEO" IN RAMAYANA... AN INDEPENDENT BIDAYUH SPIRIT THAT LIVES AMONG US....

REMEMBER... ONE MAN'S FATE IS NOT DETERMINED BY OTHERS BUT HIS OWN... ANYWAY, FOR THOSE DBNA'S SHITHEADs, DO SOMETHING BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. DO NOT SELL YOUR OWN "BANSA" JUST TO KEEP YOUR OWN POCKET FULL. LEARN FROM THE CHINESE.. LEARN FROM THE INDIANS... SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR PEOPLE. OUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STUPIDIFY FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS... BRING A STOP TO THAT.

3. Bidayuh tiada ahli perniagaan yang benar-benar berkaliber dan 'kaya', mengapa ya? Mengapa tak banyak Peter Minos dikalangan kita. Bayangkan bidayuh ada 100 orang Peter Minos, pastinya kehadiran akan dapat dirasai dalam arena ekonomi negeri dan negara amnya. Hah... disinilah DBNA diperlukan, untuk membantu bakal-bakal usahawan maju dan berkembang. DBNA boleh menjadi payung kepada mereka.

I REALLY WONDER, WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT PETER MINOS? IS HE OR BECOMING LIKE HIM GOING TO CHANGE OUR RACE? COME ON LAR.. DON'T YOU ALL KNOW.. EVEN JESUS CAN'T CHANGE US HUMAN.. HOW CAN PETER MINOS? MAU JADI MAJU, MAU BERKEMBANG? PUT AN EFFORT TO IT. LET ME SHARE WITH YOU ALL FEW FORMULAE FOR SUCCESS...

1) THINK LIKE CHINESE, TALK LIKE INDIAN & SOCIALISED LIKE PURE MALAYS
2) WILL + EFFORT + HARDWORK + INDEPENDENCE = SUCCESS

4. Majukah pendidikan kita? Berapa orang anak muda bidayuh yang mempunyai kelulusa universiti, dan bandingkan kepada jumlah anak muda bidayuh yang tercicir ataupun sekadar menamatkan sekolah menengah.Berapakah jumlah pengangguran dikalangan anak muda bidayuh?

EDUCATION WISE, IN MY OPINION, BIDAYUH ARE IMPROVING. HAVING LOTS OF BIDAYUH GRADUATE DOESN'T REFLECT THAT BIDAYUHS ARE SUCCESSFUL. DON'T BE LIKE MALAYS, WHERE LOTS OF THEM GRADUATED, BUT WITHOUT QUALITY. BIDAYUH NEED NOT TO CONCERN TOO MUCH ON THAT. WHAT WE NEED FROM BIDAYUHS IS THE ABILITY TO ADOPT AND GRAB OPPORTUNITY, AND INDEPENDENCE MINDSET!

P/S: SORRY FOR NOT WRITING IN BIDAYUH LANGUAGE... Not convenient to do so!
