>ST 21.1.2001
>Moggie ends specs on dropping of three incumbents
>By Joseph Wong
>KUCHING - Parti Bangsa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) president
>Datuk Amar Leo Moggie yesterday ended speculations
>that three of its eight incumbents would be dropped
>from the coming State election.
>"No decision has yet been made on who should be
>fielded," he said after a four-hour Supreme Council
>meeting yesterday evening.
>Moggie was responding to a recent report saying PBDS
>would likely drop three of its candidates - Mong
>Dagang, John Sikei and Dublin Unting.
>PBDS currently has eight assemblymen - Dato S'ng Chee
>Hua (Pelagus), Dato James Jemut Masing (Baleh),
>Gabriel Adit (Ngemah), Stanley Ajang (Belaga), Dublin
>Unting (Batang Ai), John Sikei (Kakus), Joseph Entulu
>(Tamin) and Mong Dagang (Bukit Bagunan).
>Moggie stressed its assemblymen were generally doing a
>good job in their constituencies. "People will always
>have views of their own … that cannot be helped.
>Nevertheless we will look into our constituencies in
>greater detail."
>He said for the next few months, PBDS would be more
>active at grassroot level, particularly in its
>constituencies, to ensure that the people were aware
>and understand what benefits they could derive from
>the policies of the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.
>He said the exercise was to prepare the party for the
>coming State election, ad-ding that the PBDS seminar
>on February 2-4 would be postponed to accommodate the
>exercise.
>Meanwhile, Moggie said PBDS would launch several
>education programmes in the State. "Education plays an
>important role in the State and nation and PBDS will
>help the Education Ministry in any way it could,
>particularly in rural areas," he said.
>The party will also carry out a study on the impact of
>rural-urban migration. "We will do a survey on this to
>find out its effects on the socio-economic
>environment."

>Saying it was unethical to do so, secretary of the

>He said: "This is a basic principle which must apply

>"Support of the grassroots leaders and the people in

>Safeguard peace in plural society, reminds CM
>By William Chan
>BEKENU - Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Haji
>Abdul Taib Mahmud has reiterated his call to the
>people to safeguard peace at all times.
>Speaking at the Aidilfitri gathering organised by the
>Bekenu Malay Welfare Trust Board (LAKMB) at the
>Al-Muttaqin mosque here yesterday, he said peace was
>one of the three important factors to ensure
>harmonious interaction and prosperity within a plural
>society.
>The other two factors were to ensure that prosperity
>was shared by all strata of society instead of a few
>and that all Sarawakians must have respectable
>character to earn the respect of others.
>"Without these three factors, the cordial
>relationship, as reflected during occasions like Hari
>Raya, Christmas and Chinese New Year, might not be
>possible," he added.
>Taib said the people's livelihood could not be
>guaranteed without peace.
>"All development efforts will be threatened while
>progress could be destroyed as shown by neighbouring
>countries."
>Instability, he added, would definitely scare away
>investors and without investments, poverty could grip
>the whole nation.
>"The people must never lose sight of the fact that the
>country could not prosper if the people rely heavily
>on government subsidies or handouts from the rich.
>Neither could the communist system of robbing the rich
>to distribute their wealth to the masses succeed as
>evidenced in the crumbling of the communist countries."
>In Malaysia the Barisan Nasional government's main
>agenda would be to ensure that the people prosper
>through the best economic system without having to
>create enmity amongst any group or individuals, Taib
>stressed.
>In this regard, he expressed bewilderment over the
>tactics of certain opposition politicians who
>preferred to create a confrontational situation for
>the people.
>At the function he launched the Sibuti Orphanage and
>Poor Children (Peryakin) fund under the auspices of

>Taib: Racial unity basis for continued progress
>By Harun Jau
>KUCHING - Maintaining and strengthening racial unity
>among various races in the state is important for the
>State's continued progress, stressed Chief Minister
>Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud.
>"In Sarawak, there is no majority race. The Chinese
>are not a majority race, the Dayaks are not, neither
>are the Malays," Taib noted when speaking at Majlis
>Silaturahim Aidilfitri organised by Yayasan Budaya
>Melayu Sarawak and Hikmah at the Civic Centre here on
>Friday evening.
>Taib pointed out that it would be difficult to
>maintain political stability if unity among the
>various races in the state was destroyed.
>"Therefore, it is my duty to maintain unity of not
>only the Malays but also the Chinese, Dayaks and other
>races, because their unity is the basis for us to
>always remain peaceful, and to concentrate on planning
>effective strategies to bring about more development
>to the people in the state," he added. Hence, unity
>should be valued as a very important matter by
>everyone.
>In preserving unity, he continued, it was not enough
>just to know how to talk but have honesty, wisdom and
>look after the interest of all races.
>Taib assured that he would not just sit down when the
>unity of the Malays was threatened, as seen from the
>results of the last parliamentary election.
>He said the decline in numbers of votes for the
>Barisan Nasional, especially in the Malay areas in
>Kuching in the last parliamentary election must be
>viewed seriously.
>Meanwhile, Taib said the BN had been sensitive and
>acted positively to attend to the needs and grievances
>of the rakyat.
>"When we received complaints that our YBs were not
>doing their job, we investigated and took action. We
>also checked whether they had spent the allocation
>given to them for their areas, whether they had
>fulfilled their promises to the people and so on."
>He noted that allegations thrown at the Barisan
>Nasional YBs that they had not looked after the people
>they represented were sometimes baseless.
>The Chief Minister reminded that the BN government had
>always been honest and sincere in its struggle for the
>people.
>"If we cannot do something for the people, we say we
>cannot do it. We are not afraid to tell them the
>truth. We are very frank."
>He reiterated: "There is no truth in the allegation
>that our YBs are selfish and only thinking of their
>own interests."
>Touching on NCR land, an issue manipulated by certain
>groups during previous elections, Taib said the
>government had never considered native lands or those
>owned by Malays as 'squatter lots'.
>"The government knows the difference between lands
>that are squatter and those of genuine Bumiputra
>rights. When carrying out development projects, all
>lands affected and taken were replaced, bought and
>duly compensated by the government," he added.
>Taib recalled that the issue had been used by the
>opposition to win the Malay votes, especially in
>Kuching. Certain groups had accused the State
>government of not recognising Malay land rights.
>"It's just propaganda to fish for votes and to fan
>feelings of hatred towards the government," he
>commented.
