Race politics is bad and it was designed by TUNKU and UMNO to split other races so that malay could stay in power as long as they like. SNAP was the dayak party founded by a group of dayaks including Ningkan in 1961 and in 1963 brought in Chinese into the party. That was a good move. Wee Hood Teck and Wee Boon Ping became the financiers. So was James Wong later on.
PESAKA formed by THOMAS KANA. He and Ningkan both dressers, never like each other. PESAKA founders were from the Rejang Basin never like SNAP because they said SNAP was only for Saribas dayaks. Dayaks from both sides sowed disunity.
Ningkan wanted Jugah to be the first governor of Sarawak but this was opposed by the malays in KL because they wanted a malay for governor if Ningkan was chief minister.
This was after April 1963 Sarawak Elections. Tun Openg was then made governor. Sarawak nearly got a malay from Johore UMNO as the first governor at that time.
Malaya had interfered with Sarawak affairs even before Malaysia was born. Malaya had interfered with the sovereignty of Sarawak and this should not be acceptable.
Being not able to be governor, Jugah agreed to accept the federal cabinet minister post of minister for Sarawak Affairs resident in Sarawak. Meaning that he needs not to be in KL
Jugah merged PESAKA with Parti Bumiputera helmed by Tun Rahman. PBB was born. While Rahman was chief minister, Jugah as federal minister was president of PBB but he didn’t stay long as president before Tun Rahman took over the presidency.
That was how dayak political influence been curtailed until now. The next move was to destroy Ningkan, who told off Tan Sri Ghazali Shafie that dayaks are not sakai.
The drama continues
It was also Tun Jugah who led members of Council Negri to petition to Tun Openg that led to Ningkan crisis. Ningakan was sacked as chief minister of Sarawak by Tun Openg.
Chinese tycoons tried to save Ningkan, but they failed. James Wong became President, and this dayak based party, SNAP was strong again but James Wong, accused of being disloyal to Sarawak was sent to prison. It was a malicious accusations and people disbelieve it.
SNAP was cornered and chose to join BN.
BN being controlled by UMNO and PBB was happy when SNAP joined BN. This allowed race politics of Ketuanan Melayu strategized by Tunku and UMNO grew stronger and is very strong until now.
SNAP split because the dayaks intellectual disagreed with James Wong at the top although he had the finance and was able to build the party. Hid good job was destroyed.
Now SNAP is dead and buried.
Jugah, the dayak paramount leader, looked strong, but, was easy to handle by the malays. They pressured him to drop out from being the governor and offered him a cabinet minister. They brought him and others who was to sign MA63 to see many beautiful white horses and scenic places in London there and they all have good times.
Dayak leaders were brought to see KL and they had good time before Malaysia was formed. Temenggong Lawai Jau praised Malaya after that and Temenggong Jugah was also happy. He said Iban do not wish to karam dua kali, and Jugah helped to influence dayaks to agree to Malaysia while most Chinese in Sarawak at that time opposed Malaysia.
The Chinese who opposed Malaysia were nationalists but was branded as anti-nationals and as communists. Until now, dayaks will say, agree and believe those who fought in the jungle against Malaysia and Malaya, are also communists instead as nationalists.
Now, a dangerous strategy being played in the minds of Sarawakians is about communism and of communists in Malaya and Sarawak in which Sarawakians should not play into their hands if Sarawak wants to break this bondage of liars and political bribery since Jugah’s time.
It was a "sold off" to Malaya by both Temenggongs.
Recently before the last PRU history repeated itself again. A group of dayaks boarded an army helicopter to see Malaya and they were very happy. YBs and ministers escorted them to KL. Many could be the first time to KL.
In every elections chicken wings, beer and some rezeki being thrown from the lorries and helicopters to rural areas, especially, where dayaks are and they were happy. Many as if never saw a helicopter flying over their heads, rushed to greet the dayak YBs who gave them these goodies.
This culture must stop!
It is a political bribery and it started from the days of Tun Jugah.
Sarawakians have to learn their lessons and should know race politics strengthened Ketuanan Melayu and as long as we don’t know the effect of political bribery on us, we shall be under the control of politics KETUANAN MELAYU.
Ironically, the dayaks helped Ketuanan Melayu and they helped chinese as king makers in Sarawak and in Malaysian politics

This is a coup de'tat which was planned quietly in past months. I hope this will give added confidence to party members and supporters to work harder.
If we can capture one or two seats, we can strategize much easier for PRN13.
At federal level, it is foreseeable neither BN nor PH can form the government without smaller political parties like us.
If we win seats and they need us, we can always talk terms, including no harassment and detention against nationalists seeking independence from the Federation of Malaysia by peaceful and legal means
PBK PRESIDENT VOON LEE SHAN INTERVIEWED AGAIN FOR FACEBOOK STATEMENT
HARASSMENT OF POLITICAL ACTIVISTS CONDEMNED BY SAPA & SSRANZ
SSRANZ President Robert Pei said PBK President Voon Lee Shan was today (05/05/2022) again invited by the Malayan Bukit Aman Special Branch police to give an "interview" over a Facebook comment he made recently that "Ningkan and Jugah's position as CM and as federal minister was a political bribery because they nearly withdrew from Malaysia Plan after April 1963 elections"
He said that Mr Voon was interviewed before the PRN12 and soon after and then in March 2002. He was also illegally arrested and interviewed by the MACC for several hours around February 2022.
Mr Voon said, "I could decline to give a statement because a suspect of a crime can always keep quiet, but, I choose to take the opportunity to screw up the federal government and the relevant authorities in harassing activists for speaking for their rights and for speaking about problems faced by Malaysia."
I said the perception of Sabahans and Sarawakians is that for every plate of rice eaten by people in Malaya, 95% are paid by oil and gas revenues from Sabah and Sarawak. Sabahans and Sarawakians are only left 5% to eat."
He took the opportunity to present a 60-page statement to the federal government on the plight of Sarawak and Sarawkians in Malaysia. Many Sarawakians have come to see this as a subservient colonial master/subject relationship.
Many of us know that there was a lot of skullduggery going on in the so-called formation of Malaysia where Sarawakians were put under intense pressure to agree to the Malaysia plan. Many aspects of this have been well documented. For example, there was a lot of haggling over the deal to make Temenggong Jugah the first governor of Sarawak and this was rejected by the Malayans. Many political issues had to be settled or traded with compromises to conclude the annexation of Sabah and Sarawak in 1963.
The SSRANZ president pointed out that a joint press release made with SAPA in April 2022 condemned the continuing politically motivated harassment of Sarawak activists as unacceptable since it breached human rights including freedom of speech and the UN guidelines on repeatedly using the police to investigate civil matters without any real legal basis.
He said: "We have nothing against the police if they are doing their job. However if the police are being used by politically motivated parties to repeatedly make "police reports" to investigate individuals exercising freedom of speech as a form of harassment and intimidation, it constitutes a serious breach of human rights and UN guidelines on police standard operating procedures."
He said the UN police SOP guidelines stressed among other things that:
• Members of the police shall exercise their functions, powers and duties as impartial servants of the general public and the Government of the day. No member of the police may participate directly in political activities.
• No member of the police may be ordered or forced to exercise his or her functions or powers or deploy police resources to promote or undermine any political party or interest group, or any member of such a party or group.

VOON LEE SHAN'S COMMENT ON HIS INTERVIEW
I am under police investigation in connection with MA63.I was suspected to have committed a crime for speaking about MA63 and rights of citizens of Sabah and Sarawak in the federation.
I gave more than 60 pages of written statement to this officer and he spent two days in my office.
I could decline to give a statement because a suspect of a crime can always keep quiet, but, I choose to take the opportunity to screw up the federal government and the relevant authorities in harassing activists for speaking for their rights and for speaking about problems faced by Malaysia.
I said the perception of Sabahans and Sarawakians is that for every plate of rice eaten by people in Malaya, 95% are paid by oil and gas revenues from Sabah and Sarawak. Sabahans and Sarawakians are only left 5% to eat.
Why not people in Malaya earn and give Sabahans and Sarawakians 95% of what they EARN? WILL THEY DO THIS?
Saya di bawah siasatan polis berhubung dengan MA63. Saya disyaki telah melakukan jenayah kerana bercakap tentang MA63 dan hak rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak dalam persekutuan.
Saya memberikan lebih daripada 60 muka surat kenyataan bertulis kepada pegawai ini dan dia menghabiskan dua hari di pejabat saya.
Saya boleh menolak untuk memberikan kenyataan kerana suspek jenayah sentiasa boleh berdiam diri, tetapi, saya memilih untuk mengambil kesempatan untuk mencemarkan kerajaan persekutuan dan pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan dalam mengganggu aktivis kerana bercakap untuk hak mereka dan bercakap tentang masalah yang dihadapi. oleh Malaysia.
Saya berkata persepsi orang Sabah dan Sarawak ialah bagi setiap sepinggan nasi yang dimakan orang di Tanah Melayu, 95% dibayar hasil minyak dan gas dari Sabah dan Sarawak. Orang Sabah dan Sarawak hanya tinggal 5% untuk makan.
Mengapa tidak orang di Tanah Melayu memperoleh dan memberi rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak 95% daripada apa yang mereka DAPAT? ADAKAH MEREKA LAKUKAN INI?
A LITTLE KNOWN AND WELL-HIDDEN BRITISH COLONIAL ARRANGEMENT IN S. E ASIA
(A comment made in relation to colonial crimes of Great Britain)
One of the forgotten British imperialist crimes was the bloody annexation of Sabah & Sarawak into the Malayan Federation renamed "Malaysia" on 16 Sept 1963.
The Malaysia federation proposal was a plan to consolidate British strategic interests in S E Asia by annexing the colonies of North Borneo and Sarawak and independent Brunei with Singapore into the Malayan Federation.
The Borneo people strongly opposed this as a neo-colonial plan by the British in collusion with Malaya.
Facing a strong united opposition the British Special Branch instigated an uprising in Brunei (on 8 Dec 1962) whose people also strongly opposed Malaysia. This immediately aborted the independence movement's plan to go to the UN to seek support for independence as the Brunei People's Party leading the delegation was made illegal and "banned". The uprising was also used as propaganda against the opposition to promote Malaysia and inflicted a culture of fear on the people that has lasted till today.
Under the pretext of suppressing the "rebellion", mass arrests and detention took place in Sarawak of over 6,000 to 10,000 "suspected communists".
The suppression drove many into Southern Kalimantan Indonesia where they formed armed resistance guerilla forces and fought the British (till 1970) and Malayan occupation army till 1990. Many of those arrested were detained for over 20 years without ever being tried in an open court - but the world does not know about these cases. This was British justice.
The guerilla war was a silent war as the British and Malayan governments kept tight control over the news of the independence war from the outside world because the British and allies did not want their dirty deeds of yet another re-drawing of the colonial map to be publicised.
To secure Malaysia for Malaya the UK had to deploy some 50,000 air sea and land forces including Australian and New Zealand, armed forces to suppress the independence fighters. They did not finish their unsavoury assignment till 1970. The Five Powers Defence Arrangement was set up in 1971 and this has been maintained till today showing the importance of the
area to the western imperial alliance.
They boast that this was their most successful decolonisation since most of their other neo-colonial creations in Africa and the Caribbean had failed. But the other side is a lie they spread that Malaysia was peacefully created and approved by the Borneo people.
To maintain their foreign-imposed rule of Sabah and Sarawak the Malayan regime had to use "emergency laws" and repressive laws of arrest and detention from 1963 to 2012 to suppress and control the people under a state of fear from openly opposing their colonial rule.
The people's grave fears of re-colonisation have become true as the resource-rich Borneo territories have been the best gift Malaya could get from Britain and exploitation and expropriation of their petroleum resources have developed Malaya and enriched their elites. The 2 countries have been kept backward and undeveloped as they were before 1963 and in fact, reduced to being vassals or dependencies with limited self-government.
In recent years, the younger generation awakening to the reality of their respective countries' colonial status, has become active in campaigning to seek independence by peaceful means.
Last December a group of 12 Sarawkians filed a legal suit in the Kuching High Court against the British Malayan and local puppet Sarawak governments seeking declarations to invalidate the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and declarations that Sarawak has the right to exit from the Malaysia federation.

Manyin: 8,829 teachers in Sarawak teach
subjects they were not trained in
BY CHURCHILL EDWARDON
KUCHING (June 30): The state Education Department has
identified 8,829 non-option teachers across Sarawak, said Education, Science
and Technological Research Minister Datuk Michael Manyin Jawong.
The non-option
teachers are teaching Science (2,995), Mathematics (3,992), and English
(1,842).
Manyin explained
that a non-option teacher is one who is, for example, trained to teach Bahasa
Melayu but asked to teach Mathematics or Science due to the unavailability of
Mathematics or Science teachers in that school.
“Currently we are
addressing this issue with the RM6 million allocation given by the state for
re-skilling and upskilling of these non-option teachers,” he said in a
statement today.
Manyin said the
initiative conducted with the Education Department and local teacher education
institutes (IPGM) is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
On Sarawak’s 90:10
policy for teachers, where 90 per cent of teachers in the state must be
Sarawakian, he said it seeks to address the high turnover of teachers,
especially in rural schools.
He pointed out that
many teachers, especially non-Sarawakians, found it hard to adjust to rural
life in the state.
Manyin said Sarawak
still maintained 10 per cent non-Sarawakian teachers to have a mix.
“This will give
teachers from other states the opportunity to come to Sarawak, understand our
cultures and customs better, and subsequently strengthen integration in our
country,” he said.
“It will also allow
our students the opportunity to be taught by experienced teachers from the
other states. At the same time, we also need to expose our Sarawakian teachers
to teach in other states in order to gain more experience both in teaching and
cultural understanding outside Sarawak and become more efficient
As of April 2021,
Sarawak was short of 3,385 teachers — 1,545 in secondary schools and 1,840 in
primary schools.
Manyin said his
ministry, established in May 2017, seeks to assist and complement the Ministry
of Education (MoE) in addressing education issues in Sarawak by working closely
with the Education Department and other related agencies.
Since its inception,
his ministry and the department had looked at the overall performance trend of
Sarawak’s students in public examinations, which was found to be
unsatisfactory.
He said the most
glaring factor was the poor physical condition of schools, where 1,020 were
categorised as dilapidated and from which 415 were critically dilapidated.
The other factors
were high turnover of teachers, especially in rural schools, and mismatch of
subject options.
In addressing
dilapidated schools, Manyin said RM1 billion had been allocated for this in
contra with Sarawak’s soft loan from the federal government.
A total 148 schools
covered under this initiative are currently under various stages of
implementation.
In addition, the
Sarawak government has already repaired 66 rural schools under the Rural
Transformation Initiative (RTI) at a cost of RM21 million.
Under Projek Rakyat
(People’s Project), four schools are being improved — SK Ulu Segan (RM28.5
million), SK Maludam (RM35.765 million), SK Merpati Jepang (RM12,75 million),
and SK Kampung Penasu, Daro (RM35 million).
Sarawak also approved RM3 million for the construction
of a new Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI) block at SMK Matang.
Manyin added Sarawak has also approved an allocation
of RM160 million for the repairs and upgrading of 60 dilapidated schools in the
northern region.
My comments:
This BN-GPS government has been in power for far too
long to resolve the issue of teachers shortage and irrelevant assignments to
teachers to teach the subjects they have not much ideas.When the so-called federal government has failed
to deliver their work properly, the Sarawak government has not been able to get
back our sovereign rights as a nation in the federation, isn’t it the time for
Sarawakians to change the poor and lousy government for a better and more
dynamic one all for the good of Sarawakians?
Alamak! What a
curse!What a pity! What a shame!To hear that the BN-GPS government has to pay out again and again from
our own coffer to retrain our teachers when the so-called federal education
department has failed again and again to deliver the task properly, are you as
Sarawakians determined to flush out this government for good?
Please calculate for me to find out how much the
taxpayers’ money (sweat and blood) this corrupt and indulgent government has squandered
light-heartedly and how much has been
pocketed by these corrupt political thugs.
When soooooooo---- much money in terms of
our natural resources and taxes in different categories have been taken by the
Malaya colonial masters and imperialists, it is disgusting and exasperating beyond words
to say that we still need to pay for extra education expenses to upgrade our
schools and upskill our teachers.
