It's been a long time...
I haven't update my blog during the semester break because I don't have Internet connection at my my kampong. Besides that, I have no time to go to the cc. If I have time, the cc already pack with youngsters playing dota etc. So I think of using the library Internet but the result is event worst. The Internet connection is too slow plus the limit of usage about 1 hour per usage because there is only has 2 pc. It feel like the same as not online at all. Hehehe...

I loved Ubuntu 9.04
Guess what?
I suddenly liked this Ubuntu 9.04 OS that much! Haha... At least I'm satisfied with the operating system. Fast loading system and easy to used it (although there something I need to learn to adapt to use the OS)... Well at first, I never think of it to used Ubuntu beside Windows Xp... But because of I'm sick with the virus and my XP become slow then I change to Ubuntu (it cost a lot of money paying for anti-virus software/key and reformat the laptop)... Walla... "This is it" (Tagline for the MJ documentary movie that coming soon in the local cinema), this is the right time to me to explore the new OS... hehe...

Hadi’s ‘cawat’ remarks degrade Dayaks: Mawan
By Samuel Aubrey
KUCHING: The ‘cawat’ (loincloth) issue continued to become a hot topic with Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) president Dato Sri William Mawan becoming the latest Dayak leader to lash out at PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang for making the remark.
He said the comments made by Hadi were very degrading to the Dayaks and a reflection of the opposition’s ignorance of the real situation in Sarawak.
Speaking at the launching of SPDP Muara Tuang Division Saturday night, he was very fiery and animated in his speech especially during the part when he slammed Hadi.
Using hand gestures, the Social Development and Urbanisation Minister said the ‘loincloth were at least put at the right place’ and not at other parts of the body.
But in the present modern times, he went on to say that loincloth is no longer practised and he blamed the PAS president for not understanding the standard of living of the people in Sarawak.
“Our cultural dancers only put on loincloth when performing traditional dances … (That is why) I wonder if he (Hadi) had ever visited Sarawak to understand the lives and living standard of the people.
“(To Hadi), don’t sidestep the main issue (on the factors leading to the loss in Batang Ai by-election) and talk about something else to distract the people, like talking about the loincloth,” he added.
Hadi, in a Malaysiakini report on July 11, was quoted as saying: “In all previous by-elections, the results favoured us. Only in Batang Ai did we lose because they did not know how to vote, still wearing ‘cawat’ (loincloth). I am not trying to insult, but those places dressed nicely, vote for PAS.” The Batang Ai by-election was held on April 7 following the demise of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) vice-president Datuk Dublin Unting on Feb 24 after a heart attack. It was held simultaneously with the Bukit Selambau and Bukit Gantang by-elections.
A political greenhorn from PRS, Malcolm Mussen, defended the seat for the Barisan Nasional (BN) after he won with by a convincing majority of 1,854 votes over Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s (PKR) Jawah Gerang, the former five-term Lubok Antu MP.
It was the only by-election won by the BN after six by-elections following March 2008 general elections.
On a related matter, Mawan also likened the opposition parties to Western folklore legend Pied Piper as they were only good in enticing the people, but yet to prove they could do better than BN.
“On the opposition parties drumming for support in Sarawak, I have great conviction that they will not get anywhere.
“They are just like Pied Piper - playing the flute, entice and lure people to listen to that beautiful music yet leading them down the ravine and to the sea,” he said.
In his advice to the SPDP Muara Tuang Division, he hoped the members could work together with other BN components and form a strong BN front for the coming state election.
Although Samarahan parlimentary and Muara Tuang state constituencies are not represented by SPDP, he said the party could still play a vital role by consolidating the position of the BN in the area and ensuring the victory of BN candidates.
Muara Tuang is currently represented by Dato Sri Mohammad Ali Mahmud of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB).
The adjacent Asajaya seat is held by Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, while the Samarahan parliamentary seat is represented by Dato Sri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib, both from PBB. Sulaiman is federal deputy tourism minister.
“If you look at the area, SPDP does not have any YB (elected representatives) here. But it is down to us to demonstrate our role as a fellow component in the BN by managing to rally our support in an area that does not have our YB.
“This is the spirit I call for in SPDP Muara Tuang Division - to demonstrate and put ourselves as example to others. Together we can form a strong Barisan team, a united front that will ensure victory in the next election,” he said.
He was happy to see that SPDP had members of all racial backgrounds in Sarawak.
“SPDP is one of the component parties in Malaysia that is truly multi racial. Our committees are multi racial. Our outlook, stand and principle are all multi-racial,” he added.

Why so Racist?
Hadi’s remarks reflect PAS, PR leadership: PRS women chief
KUCHING: Pakatan Rakyat (PR) can forget about making any headway in Sarawak, particularly in the Dayak majority areas, if its leaders continue to talk like PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang.
Expressing anger over Hadi’s remarks about Batang Ai voters recently, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) women chief Doris Sophia Brodie said yesterday the remarks reflected the type of leaders PAS and PR have.
“Obviously, PAS and Pakatan are not ethnic-sensitive, thus they can forget about making their existence felt in Sarawak especially in Dayak dominant areas. On top of that, it is such remarks that stir racial tension,” she said.
“I think what Hadi said should hit the nail squarely for Dayak opposition leaders. Clearly, Pakatan and PAS do not have them or the Dayak at heart, to them the Dayaks are just to make the numbers and their laughing stock.”
In this respect, she said the PRS women of Batang Ai, Simanggang and Bukit Begunan divisions would come out in full force to support PRS Batang Ai youth in its plan to burn PAS flags in Engkilili town today to protest Hadi’s remarks.
Hadi, in a Malaysiakini report on July 11, was quoted as saying: “Semua pilihanraya kecil sebelum ini keputusannya memihak kepada kita. Cuma di Batang Ai sahaja kita kalah sebab mereka ini tidak reti undi, pakai cawat lagi. Saya bukan nak hina tetapi tempat yang pakai molek, undi PAS. (In all previous by-elections, the results favoured us. Only in Batang Ai did we lose because they did not know how to vote, still wearing loincloth. I am not trying to insult but those places where people dress nicely, vote for PAS).”
Hadi made the remarks in the run-up to the Manek Urai by-election, which PAS eventually won.
The Batang Ai by-election was held on April 7 following the demise of PRS vice-president Datuk Dublin Unting on Feb 24 after a heart attack.
The Barisan Nasional (BN) had picked Malcolm Mussen Lamoh to defend the seat.
He won by a convincing majority of 1,854 votes over Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s (PKR) Jawah Gerang, the former five-term Lubok Antu MP.
Held simultaneously with the Batang Ai by-election were by-elections in Bukit Gantang, Perak, and Bukit Selambau, Kedah.
In both seats, BN lost by a majority of more than 2,000 votes.
Leaders from all Sarawak BN parties, including Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) deputy president Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu, Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) president Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr George Chan and PRS president Dato Sri Dr James Masing have condemned the remarks.
They have demanded a public apology from Hadi as they felt that the remarks were an insult to the dignity of the Dayaks.
So far, there have been no opposition Dayak leaders who have voiced their dissatisfaction over Hadi’s remarks.
PKR Sarawak advisor Dato Sri Hafsah Harun, in fact, had defended Hadi, saying that he could have been misquoted by Malaysiakini and if indeed he had said the voters still wore ‘cawat’, he meant their old thinking in supporting the BN.
Doris yesterday also dared Hadi to come to visit Sarawak and especially Batang Ai to see the development and the lifestyle of the people for himself.
“When he comes he better be dressed ‘molek’, in case he might feel embarrassed if our people ‘outdress’ him,” she said.

PRS Batang Ai Youth plans protest against Hadi with PAS flag-burning
By Saibi Gi and Raynore Mering
KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) Batang Ai Youth is planning to torch Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) flags in a show of protest in Engkilili town tomorrow.
Its deputy chief Edwin Raoh said they were very angry with the disparaging remarks made by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang about Batang Ai voters recently.
“His statement insults the dignity of the Iban people. We are very upset and we are very offended. We are planning to burn PAS flags,” he said yesterday.
He hoped that with the burning of the flags, the people of Lubok Antu and Engkilili would realise how opposition leaders really saw them.
Hadi said in a report in Malaysiakini on July 11 that the opposition lost in the Batang Ai by-election because the voters did not know how to vote and they were still wearing ‘cawat’ (loincloth).
Also reacting to the remark was PRS information chief Richard Wil Uban who wanted to know the stand of Dayak leaders in Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), specifically Ngemah assemblyman Gabriel Adit Demong and former Lubok Antu MP Jawah Gerang.
He said that Hadi must surely know that Adit and Jawah are Ibans and yet he still made such derogatory comments about members of the community.
“I feel demoralised and looked down upon. We have been in Malaysia for 45 years and they are still talking about us as if we are cavemen.
“But what are Adit and Jawah going to do now that their friend in Pakatan Rakyat (Hadi) has insulted their dignity and the dignity of the Ibans as a whole? What do they have to say?” he asked.
Adit and Jawah could not be reached for comments yesterday. PAS, PKR, Sarawak Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Sarawak National Party are members of Pakatan in Sarawak.
Wil added that voters had the right to vote for whoever they chose and no one should think that those who supported the government or Barisan Nasional (BN) did so blindly.
“Voting is every eligible Malaysian’s right. I can vote for the opposition if I want to. But I vote for the government not because I am a fool.
“It is those people who vote for the opposition even when they have been receiving assistance from the government of the day who are fools,” he said.
He pointed out that he spent five days in Engkari to help campaign for the BN during the Batang Ai by-election and every longhouse along the Engkari river had tiled corridors, flush toilets and other amenities.
“Where are the people wearing ‘cawat’ there? If Hadi doesn’t believe me, ask our Deputy Prime Minister (Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin) who visited the place during the by-election.
“But I wish to say this to all Dayaks of Sarawak, if we are marginalised it is because of people’s ignorance of our existence,” said Wil.
PRS secretary general Datuk Wilfred Nissom, meanwhile, said as far as he could see, no one cast their votes in their loincloths during the by-election.
At the same time, he said there were not many spoilt votes so it must mean that the people there knew how to vote.
“Actually, I think that the people in Batang Ai are very smart because they know what a constituency under PAS or Pakatan is like. They have seen the level of development in Permatang Pauh, so they decided to vote for the best, and that’s BN,” said Nissom.
