Via Radio Free Sarawak - We want to be called Dayak, not Bumiputera! On today’s show we speak to Paul Raja, Vice President of the Dayak National Congress (DNC) who expresses his concern that Sarawak’s Chief Minister Adenan Satem has classified Dayak as Bumiputera. Raja says that Bumiputera is not a race and therefore agrees with DNC President Mengga Mikui’s statement that they prefer to be called Dayak instead of Bumiputera or Lain-Lain (others) in Government documents. We chat to Gasan from Bekelit Sibuti regarding his village’s NCR battle against the Tung Huat Plantation company. According to Gasan, the company have called the police because the community are blockading against the companies encroachment. The court case will continue on 29th January. And we hear from Andrew from Bekelit who says that company gangsters have burnt the car of their local headman after they started blockading and standing up for their rights. Stay tuned for more!
