Hi! I was just browsing through your blog, read about your thoughts and plans for Sarawak, and was really moved by it. Although I’m not Bidayuh let alone Sarawakian, still Sarawak has been more than a home to me, and, if possible, would like to help you in any way I can in your goals for “a better future” for Sarawak.

More Power and God Bless You and in everything you do Sir. Send my regards to everyone there.

Sincerely,
JV Ouano

I have remained silent for awhile and let others do the talking. Let us wait and see what Najib is doing with his 1Malaysia. He has big hurdles to overcome within the system which had consumed Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Mahathir and lately Pak Lah. When I warned Dr. Mahathir before his downfall, but he only sacked Tun Daim using MAS debacle as the last Straw? Najib good agenda may also be consumed by the greed of the few, “who makes hay while the sun shines” as one of my colleagues suggested to me in 1987. He also told me later that I was sacked by BN leaders “because I was too WHITE amongst dirty shirts”.

I am glad to know that more and more are waking up to the reality that we all need a “Better Future” than what is currently offered by the SYSTEM created of, by and FOR BN leaders and loyal followers.

We can wait and see what NAJIB can do for us. Meanwhile hopefully more and more the younger generation will realize that CHANGE is for them to make for a BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL.

I am in the new generation, fresh and I’m waiting for my scroll soon. I was born and raised as a Bidayuh, like you. Admire you. Heard so many story about you. Admire your passionate towards a better tomorrow. Hope to see things to change. You’re truly pure genuine “Pejuang Bangsa Dayak Bidayuh”.
Keep it up. Anyway, did you wrote any book so far? Enthusiast to have your book.

Inilah satu cabaran yang perlu di promosikan dan diperjuangkan. Politik perkuaman dan perkauman yang disebutkan ialah satu tragedi menhadapi kita semua. Terpulanglah kepada kita sendiri memilih padangan perkauman atau terbuka. Inilah satu pilihan yang ada kepada semua rakyat kita. Kaum dan agama kita dilahirkan dengannya, tiada pilihan sekalipun.

But we all do have a choice to be Malaysians caring for all Malaysians and respecting each other as GOD’S children and creation.

As for STAR’s flag and symbol, it is on our official website.

adakah STAR akn terus berjuang untuk semua rakyat Sarawak tanpa mengira perkauman atau terus berdiri ats landasan seperti SPDP n PRS yg jelas mementingkan dayak shj

saya juga mohon DR meletakkan logo STAR serta bendera STAR dlm laman ini.

apapun, teruskan perjuangn demi rakyat Sarawak.

Francis Siah is back to his writing with ?Malaysiakini in KL. He is still a STAR member. Teaming up is purely his choice as he had chosen to go against the Party decision in 2000. He knew what it was all about. However we don’t sack him though, as in the last analysis, it was his right to decide whether to stand in Batu Kawa against the BN candidate or the three corner fight in Batu Lintang which had helped BN there as well as in Batu Kawa. He stood and lost his deposit in Batu Lintang while BN won Batu Kawa uncontested.

The political struggle had, is and will go on until the goal to make sure Sarawak and Malaysia have a better future can be achieved. It will be long and tough but it must go on.

Thanks.

Secondly SNAP has always claimed to be with them since they were kicked out BN. SNAP symbol, comprising of MDC group as well, were part BA in 2006 State General Elections leaving STAR out even in Bidayuh areas for reasons that they only know…. SNAP officially also supported PKR in the Batang Ai by-elections, but the Deputy President’s faction supported and campaigned hard for BN. Even BN never expected such a big majority and it seemed that Deputy President’s faction and Augustine Sating carried the SNAP weight to BN… Thirdly SNAP registration is still under Judicial Review… MDC, as a potential political party, is dead, it pro tem President has join PKR and its Deputy to SUPP, BN…..

In the real Malaysian political scenario, this is no such thing as a “must”. Our forefather thought that it must be a “must” to form Malaysia in 1963. Till to-day West Malaysians are still debating about the 1957 Federation of Malaya while the NATIVES of Sabah and Sarawak are still considered as “Orang Lain-Lain” while finishing our natural resources. They could have taken the “Brunei option” and become Independent when ready like Brunei.

Should STAR join PR just because it is convenient? Our answer is still “NO”. Until STAR is given a mandate by Sarawakians, we shall wait and do our part to represent what are good for ALL SARAWAKIANS. To-day neither BN nor PKR provides that option. STAR will continue to grow as a THIRD FORCE till Sarawakians are ready for a better day. Then we can talk to either BN or PR with dignity, not begging for a political survival for whatever reasons….

i only want to ask u about STAR.why STAR, SNAP and MDC not join Pakatan Rakyat formally?

i think STAR and SNAP must join it and Pakatan must have Sarawak component

By the way, nothing much can be resolved in the Dewan, if you talk “racial”… Most Dayak YBS had spoken about Dayaks problem especially PBDS but why you are still complaining? Why talk, you have so many Dayak members of the Cabinet both State and Federal, who can just deliver without talking?

As to my “failure as a politician”, I am happy as I am because I know what I had done and is doing now…. continue to work for a better future….
