Dayak music award 2008

Dayak Minister do not support DAMA

The efforts by the Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) to introduce Dayak Music Awards (DAMA) which was held on 27 September 2008 at Crowne Plaza Riverside Hotel, Kuching in recognition of Dayak musicians – singers, composers and lyricists – were both noble and commendable.

Presented after the style of the most prestigious Grammy Awards, DAMA hopes to inject quality and professionalism among the Dayak musicians. Hitherto, some of the so-called Dayak songs lack originality as they are copied from Malay, Indonesian and Hindustani songs with many of them having Malay words used in the lyrics. Let me give an example: “burong punggok nyabak ka bulan” which should have been “burong tunggok nyabak ka bulan” in Iban; “selindang” should have been “selampai”, etc.

There again the Iban and Malay spellings are mixed up. For instance, “baka kucing enggau cit” should have been “baka kuching enggau chit”. And there are many examples of these mixed-up spellings in CDs, VCDs and DVDs. The Malay spelling does not have “ch”, while the Iban spelling maintains the “ch” in order to differentiate between the systems of spelling.

In an attempt to really raise the quality of Iban songs in particular, a body or a committee should be set up to look into all these “impurities” in Iban songs.

If this body can be set up, then the Dayak music is not only an art and a form of entertainment among the Dayaks, but also it is a big money-spinner. Imagine we have eight million Dayaks throughout Pulau Borneo as possible clients. Some non-Dayak businessmen have seen these prospects and have indeed taken advantage of some of Iban singers especially those in Sibu by paying them about RM600 for a recording. While the Iban singers are only interested in making them “famous” and popular, the non-Dayak businessmen have earned millions of ringgit through the sales of their songs. Again a body should be set up to look after the interests of the singers.

As I said the DCCI’s efforts are commendable and should be given all out support. But sadly, there seems to be lack of support coming from the Iban businessmen and Iban ministers and assistant ministers and the absence of William Mawan, James Masing, Alfred Jabu, Joseph Entulu, Sylvester Enteri, Jelaing Mersat, Francis Harden, Gramong Juna, Peter Nyarok and Douglas Uggah were obvious. Only Michael Manyin, Naroden Majais and Joseph Salang were seen around. Never mind Jabu, but what about the rest? We know Jabu has always against the formation of DCCI and its activities.

If Ahmad Shabery Cheek, minister of information, could come all the way from Kuala Lumpur to attend the musical awards, there was no reason why our ministers could not come. That was the time our singers really needed our support and support is like a horse trading. (You scratch my back, I scratch yours). You may not need them now, come elections times, the Dayak singers are the most wanted commodity. Like in USA, as also elsewhere, including Sarawak, the role of singers in attracting audience during campaigning times is now part of democracy.

Sabah History & Culture

By:Melissa marcus Known as the ‘Land below the Wind’, Sabah on the eastern side of Borneo is home to over 30 different ethnic races with over 80 local dialects. Its title comes from its location; directly beneath the typhoon belt making it free from climatic disturbances. Despite the advent of modernity, tradition and culture still prevail in local lifestyles, especially as a practice to welcome international visitors. A visit to Sabah is indeed a multi-cultural and fascinating experience. Sabah’s early records indicate that it was broken up into various areas ruled by local chieftains in the early 9th Century. Later, in the 15th Century, it became a part of the Brunei Empire until an American Trader named Moses arrived in the 1880s’ to lease it. From there, it was passed on to an Englishman named Alfred Dent who converted the lease into a cession. The British North Borneo Chartered Company was thus established, ruling over the state until the Japanese occupation during World War II, after which it became a British Crown Colony. In 1963, Sabah joined the coalition of Malaysia. Sabah’s 2 million residents are a diverse mix of races, with the Kadazan, Bajau and Murut forming the main indigenous groups. There are of course, sizeable populations of Chinese, Malays and Indians who form the majority of Malaysia’s social landscape. Kadazan-Dusun The largest indigenous group in Sabah is the Kadazan-Duzun, which makes up a third of the population. They are known as prolific rice-producers, but many have gone into other commercial markets outside their traditional field. They are also known for their colourful customs, including those that involve female priestesses named ‘Bobohizan’. Their most famous festival is the Harvest Festival or ‘Tadau Ka’amatan’, which celebrates a season of good rice harvest.

Business law+define a partnerships in business law+

Define a Partnerships

Partnership is a voluntary association of two or more person for carrying on a business as co-owner for profit. The formation of a partnership creates certain rights and duties among partners and with third parties. These rights and duties are established in the partnership agreement and by law. When used without a qualifier such as "limited" or "limited liability," usually refers to a legal structure called a general partnership. This is a business owned by two or more people (called partners or general partners) who are personally liable for all business debts. To form a partnership, each partner normally contributes money, valuable property or labor in exchange for a partnership share, which reflects the amount contributed. Partnerships are easy to form since no registration is required with any governmental agency to create a partnership (although tax registration and other requirements to conduct business may still apply). Although not required, it is an excellent idea to prepare a written partnership agreement between the partners to define items such as ownership percentages, how profits and losses will be divided and what happens if a partner dies or becomes disabled. Partnerships themselves do not pay federal or state income taxes; rather, profits are passed through to partners who report and pay income taxes on their personal returns.

A careful study of the literature reveals that the terms "collaboration" and "partnership" are used synonymously. Some authors (Bogo et al. (1992), Epstein and Kohn (1992) and Galinski et al. (1993), use the word "partnership" to refer to the actual collaboration between researchers and practitioners. In their view, "collaboration" is synonymous with "partnership", so they use the terms interchangeably. In some instances, even action research is considered to be a partnership. The confusion this creates is significant and we should try to make a distinction between the terms.

To eliminate any ambiguity, we need to distinguish between "partnership" and "collaboration" from the outset. The Centre for Research on Violence against Women and Children introduces a subtle nuance when it refers to collaboration between two partners as a result of cooperation during one or more stages of the research, generally at an advanced stage, and partnership to imply cooperation at every stage of the research. This distinction will be maintained throughout the rest of this paper.

In a discussion paper presented at a symposium organized by The Provincial Partnership Committee on Family Violence (Saskatchewan), Adams et al. (1994: 1) define partnership as a group of "... people working together and maintaining equal personal power." The authors state that partnership is achieved when all of the individuals involved listen, share and respect each other's opinions, knowledge and mutual differences. Go even further in describing their "collaborative model" as one that requires all research participants to be committed to an activity with equal sharing of authority right from the start. This view is echoed by Ouellet (1994: 3), who believes that partners who "collaborate" must feel equal and complementary to each other.

In defining a feminist research partnership between native rights activists and university researchers, Labrecque (1994: 1-2) describes it as a tool for empowerment which "... involves not only building knowledge on the basis of the research environment, but also concerns the relationship between the partners. This relationship typically exists prior to the actual research process." Labrecque adds that the idea of partnership in this context is a "hybrid" one that refers "... at once to constructive activity, practice in the field and joint research."

Recognizing the ambiguity of the term "partnership," a number of Quebec authors prefer to speak in terms of "interface," "... a social context where stakeholders with different agendas operate" (Couillard and Côté 1993: 30). In a review of various theories on the relationship between research and practice, Groulx (1994: 45), refers to the "research-practice interface" in which practitioners assign research categories and tools. For Deslauriers and Pilon (1994: 31), the term "partnership" describes good intentions rather than reality. They recognize, however, that the term describes a growing trend and refers to an approach based on conflict negotiation and cooperation.

The aspect of negotiation also appears in the Panet-Raymond and Bourque definition of partnership (1991: 9-10). In their evaluative action research on the relationship between community agencies and public institutions (Centre local de services communautaires, or CLSCs), they define partnership as "... an egalitarian and equitable relationship between two different kinds of groups, with different missions, activities, resources and operating methods. In this relationship, each partner makes a different contribution but both consider this contribution to be equally important. Genuine partnership, therefore, is based on respect for and mutual recognition of the contributions of the partners in an interdependent relationship." In this context, the goal of the partnership becomes "... an exchange of different kinds of services and/or resources that are recognized to be of equal importance or value by the partners involved." The same authors (1991: 10) contrast this model of partnership with "paternal-ship," in which "... relationships are unequal, and the objective is generally domination." In the entirely different context of New Zealand research (Park 1992: 582), the term "partnership" does not necessarily imply that the partners are equal but that the relationship is a joint commitment based on negotiation.

In Quebec, the concept of partnership between community and government networks is taken to imply a context in which the former negotiates with the latter. In Guay's experience (1991: 6), the purpose of this type of partnership is to integrate the community into the networks. Previous activities have led to a three-part model of partnership among institutions in the network, alternative resources (in this case, mental health resources) and community groups.

A collective work in the U.S. on "practitioner-researcher partnerships" in social services (McCartt Hess and Mullen 1995) suggests that practitioners can play an important role in knowledge building. One common element among the various definitions of partnership is the reflective practitioner model, where practitioners' experience leads them to "reflective action." Schön (1995: 18) sees the relationship between partners as "... one that builds on reflection so that researchers can help practitioners enhance the reflective process." Epstein and Kohn (1992: 19-20) take this example even further in adding concepts of what they call "practice-research" to all levels of social work. To establish a link between practitioners and researchers, they recommend incorporating research into all levels of social work decision-making in order to empower practitioners, improve practice, and avoid compromising the principles of action and ethics. According to the authors, "The social problems dealt with by the social work profession require attention from both the practice community and the education community." Coulton (1995: 21) studied partnership between a local community and university faculty. In her view, "partnerships with community organizations allow research to be guided from the outset by the vision, values, and questions of both researchers and practitioners." Finally, Blum and Associates (1995: 24) believe that partnership leads to knowledge building and inevitably to innovation.

Most of the authors we surveyed did not necessarily set out to define partnership. Some discuss the nature of the relationship between partners or suggest statements of principle. This gives us information on the basic assumptions and the philosophy underlying the concept, but we need to look more closely at what partners themselves think of their partnership experience.

The definitions of partnership that emerged from interviews with representatives of women's groups, researchers and research professionals are fairly consistent with what we found in our literature review. In fact, the main differences are mainly a question of semantics rather than ideas. The vocabulary used does contain some subtle but significant distinctions, however.

While representatives of women's groups emphasized "commitment" and "complementary relationships" when speaking of partnerships, researchers preferred to speak in terms of "joint participation in a research project." It goes without saying that the term "commitment" has a much stronger connotation with regard to team unity and cohesiveness than the term "participation."

It is interesting to note that representatives of women's groups included the important aspect of sharing knowledge and decision-making in their definition of partnership, while none of the researchers raised this issue.

Partnership Taxation

Like a sole proprietorship, a partnership has only one level of taxation. A partnership is a tax-reporting entity, not a tax-paying entity. Profits pass through to the owners and are divided in accordance with what is specified in the partnership agreement. There are no restrictions on how profits are allocated among partners as long as there is economic reason, so there is latitude in allocating income according to which partners have the best tax rates.

Liability

While pass-through taxation is an advantage, owners of a partnership have unlimited personal liability. In general, each partner in a partnership is jointly liable for the partnership's obligations. Joint liability means that the partners can be sued as a group. Several liability means that the partners are individually liable. In some states, each partner is both jointly and severally liable for the damages resulting from the wrongdoing of other partners, and for the debts and obligations of the partnership.

Three rules for liability in a partnership are:

1. Every partner is liable for his or her own actions.
2. Every partner is liable for the actions of the other partners.
3. Every partner is liable for the actions of the employees of the business.

As an example to illustrate liability in a partnership, suppose there is a partnership formed by partners A, B, and C. If partner A accidentally runs over somebody while driving on a personal trip to the grocery store one weekend, then A alone has unlimited personal liability. If partner A accidentally runs over somebody while making a delivery for the partnership, then A still has unlimited personal liability, but all three partners would be jointly and severally liable. If the victim wins a judgement of $1 million against the partnership, and only partner B has the money, then B would have to pay the judgement. Partner B could assert a right of contribution against partner A, but if A has no money it would not be worth the effort. If an employee of the partnership, employee E, accidentally runs over somebody during the course of work, then the partnership is liable since the employer is responsible for the actions of an employee within the scope of business. If the accident happened while the employee stopped for something personal, then the employer would not be responsible (frolic and detour).

Case: Salmon and Meinhard

Facts
Salmon wanted to lease some property in New York. The lease was to run from 1902 to 1922. He formed a partnership with Meinhard who put up 50% of the money. Salmon would be the active manager and would pay Meinhard 40% of the profits for the first five years, and 50% thereafter. In 1922 the lease was up for renewal and the owner of the property, speaking only with Salmon, offered to make some adjacent property available. Salmon signed a lease for the property on behalf of his own firm, Midpoint Realty Company, of which Meinhard was not an owner. Salmon had not told Meinhard anything about the new lease or even the possibility of a new project.

Issue
Meinhard claimed that Salmon had a fiduciary duty to provide him the opportunity to participate in the deal.

Holding

The court ruled in favor of Meinhard

Reasoning
The new deal was an extension of the old one. While Salmon did not act in bad faith, he had a fiduciary duty to Meinhard.

As one person put it, "a partnership is just like a marriage."

General partnership

An ordinary partnership can operate under the name the of any one or more of the partnership or under a fictitious business name. If the partnership operates under a fictitious name, it must file a fictitious business name statement with the appropriate government agency and publish a notice of the name in a newspaper of general of the circulation where the partnership does business. The name selected by the partnership cannot indicate that it is a corporation an cannot be similar to the name used by any existing business entity.

Formation of a general partnership

A business must meet four criteria to qualify as a partnership, its must be an association of two or more person, carrying on a business, as co-owner and for profit. Partnership a are voluntary associations of two more or more person. All partner must be agree to the participation of each co-partner. A person cannot to be forced to be a partner or to accept another person as a partner. A business a trade, an occupation, or a profession must be carried on. The organization or venture must be have a profit motive in order to qualify as a partnership, even though the business does not actually have to make a profit.

A general partnership may be formed with little or no formality. Co-ownership of a business is essential to create a partnership. The most important factor important factor in determining co-ownership is whether the parties share the business profits and management responsibility.

Receipt of partnership may be formed with little or no formality. Co-ownership of a business is essential to create a partnership. The most important factor in determining co-ownership is whether the parties share the business’s profits and management responsibility. Receipt of a share of business profits is prima facie evidence of a partnership because non-partnership usually are not given the right to share in business’s profits.

The condition in partnerships

Each form of partnership is unique and it is difficult to generalize without taking the context into account (Park 1992: 589). However, while a partnership model must be tailored to the problems and available resources of those concerned (Epstein and Kohn 1992: 355), some conditions always apply. These may be established beforehand as principles or models for action, or they may emerge as key principles after the experience has been evaluated.

There are two sets of conditions for the success and overall effectiveness of a partnership. Some pertain to the individuals concerned, their interrelationships, and the skills and professional experience of each. Others relate more to the many organizational factors that come into play at each stage of the research, when decisions are being made about the subject matter, work assignments, the quality of communication, the way the results will be used, the allocation of time and funds, and so forth.

EMPANGAN BAKUN

Empangan Bakun
Dari Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, ensiklopedia bebas.
Jump to: navigation, search
Empangan Bakun adalah sebuah empangan hidroelektrik yang sedang dalam pembinaan merentasi Sungai Balui di Sarawak, Malaysia. Ia merupakan sebuah empangan batu dilitupi konkrit (concrete faced rockfill dam) (CFRD) yang tertinggi di dunia akan dibina. Ia juga akan menjadi empangan terbesar di Asia, selain beberapa empangan lebih besar di negeri Cina. Empangan ini dapat menjana 2,400 MW tenaga elektrik apabila siap pada tahun 2012.

Tenaga elektrik yang akan dijanakan akan disalurkan dari Sarawak ke Semenanjung Malaysia. Rancangan asal ialah untuk menggunakan 30% dari janaan di Sarawak dan selebihnya disalurkan ke Semenanjung Malaysia. Penghantaran ini memerlukan 660 km talian DC voltan tinggi di Sarawak dan 670 km talian DC voltan tinggi di bawah laut merentasi Laut Cina Selatan.

Di masa hadapan, janaan dari Empangan Bakun dirancang untuk disambungkan ke Grid Elektrik Borneo, yang akan menghubungkan grid elektrik sedia ada di Sarawak, Sabah, Brunei dan Kalimantan. Rancangan ini disebut-sebut di mesyurat negara ASEAN, tetapi tiada tindakan susulan lagi.


Sejarah projek
Cubaan pertama
Kerja ukur tanah dimulakan pada tahun 1960-an dan kajian diteruskan pada tahun 1980-an. Kajian merangkumi pelan induk & upayabina, kajian batuan & tanah, kajian janaan hidro, rekabentuk empangan, kajian alam sekitar & socio-ekonomi dan kajian talian penghantar.

Projek ini telah mulakan pada 1986, tetapi dihentikan pada 1990 berdasarkan unjuran merosot kegunaan elektrik disebabkan kemelut ekonomi 1985 dan keputusan membangunkan dahulu industri gas asli.

Cubaan kedua
Projek ini diteruskan semula oleh YAB Mahathir Mohamad pada 1993. Pada Januari 1994, projek ini diswastakan kepada Bakun Hydroelectric Corporation, iaitu syarikat usahasama Ekran Berhad, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Kerajaan Sarawak, Syarikat SESCO Berhad dam Malaysia Mining Corporation Berhad. Bakun Hydroelectric Corporation telah memberi kontrak elektrikal, mekanikal dan penghantaran kepada ABB. Baberapa pakar runding yang terlibat ialah Snowy Mountain Engineering Corporation, TNB Hydro (anak syarikat Tenaga Nasional Berhad) dan KLIA Consult.

Projek ini terhenti akibat kemelut ekonomi 1997.


Cubaan ketiga
Pada Mei 2000, Kerajaan Malaysia telah mengambil alih projek dengan membeli kepentingan Bakun Hydroelectric Corporation, dan meneruskan projek melalui syarikat milik kerajaan, Sarawak Hidro Sdn Bhd. Hanya pembinaan Empangan Bakun diteruskan dan kerja pembinaan ditawarkan melalui kontrak “turnkey�?. Pembinaan talian penghantar bawah laut tidak akan dilaksanakan.

Kontraktor baru ialah Malaysia-China Hydro JV Consortium, iaitu syarikat usahasama Sime Engineering Berhad, iaitu anak syarikat Sime Darby Berhad dan Sino-Hydro Corporation dari Cina. Rakan kongsi kecil yang lain adalah WCT Berhad, MTD Capital Berhad, Ahmad Zaki Resources Berhad, Syarikat Ismail Berhad dan Edwards & Sons Berhad. Tarikh siap ditetapkan pada September 2007. Harga kontrak sivil adalah RM 1.8 billion. Kerja elekromekanikal diberi pada satu kontrak kepada IMPSA dari Argentina dan satu kontrak lagi kepada Alstom dari Perancis.

Pada 2004, pakar runding JW Knowles telah diupah untuk mengkaji sebab kelewatan projek. Lain lain jururunding terlibat adalah Snowy Mountain Engineering Corporation dan OPUS International Malaysia.


Perkembangan terkini semasa cubaan ketiga
Pada tahun 2003, Gulf International Investment Group (GIIG) telah meletak wang pertaruhan sebanyak RM500 juta, sebagai permulaan ingin membeli 60% projek Empangan Bakun. GIIG adalah syarikat usahasama antara Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, orang kaya dari Malaysia dan Mohamad Ali Al-Abbar, orang kaya dari Dubai. Tujuan pembelian ialah sebagai sumber tenaga elektrik untuk sebuah lagi pelaburan mereka iaitu kilang pelebur aluminium yang akan dibina di Similajau, Sarawak. Rancangan ini tidak diteruskan akibat kelewatan di dalam pembinaan Empangan Bakun.

Di tahun 2006, berikutan kenaikan bahanapi seperti gas asli dan minyak, talian penghantar bawah laut yang yang dahulunya tidak berdaya maju, kini telah dikaji semula untuk dilaksanakan. Tenaga Nasional Berhad telah menyatakan hasrat ingin menggunakan sumber hidroelektrik dari Sarawak menjelang 2012. Berikutan itu, beberapa syarikat telah menunjuk minat dan Sime Darby adalah yang terhadapan dalam usaha mendapatkan kontrak melaksanakan talian penghantar bawah laut ini.

Pada November 2006, berita tersebar mengenai pengabungan Sime Darby Berhad, Golden Hope Plantations Berhad dan Kumpulan Guthrie Berhad menjadi sebuah syarikat baru dengan modal berbayar RM 31 billion. Serentak dengan pengabungan tersebut, anak syarikat Sime Darby iaitu Sime Engineering Sdn Bhd akan mengambil alih sebahagian kepentingan kerajaan didalam Sarawak Hidro Sdn Bhd.

Pemeliharaan alam sekitar
Pembinaan Empangan Bakun ini menakibatkan 9,000 penduduk sekitar dipindahkan dari kawasan yang akan ditenggelamkan, Mereka telah ditempatkan semula di kampung rumah panjang Sungai Asap berhampiran Bakun.


Spesifikasi Empangan Bakun
Bahagian kekal empangan adalah seperti berikut:

Empangan utama

8 set janakuasa merangkumi 8 turbin jenis Francis dengan bersaiz 300 MW sebuah, 8 janakuasa bersaiz 360 MVA sebuah dan 8 pembolehubah bersaiz 360 MVA sebuah.

Talian penghantar
Ada 3 bahagian utama talian penghantar:

Pertama, talian AC voltan tinggi dari Bakun ke Bintulu sepanjang 160 km. Talian 275 kV ini akan mengalirkan tenaga dari Empangan Bakun ke sebuah stesen pencawang di Bintulu, dan seterusnya ke grid elektrik Sarawak yang dikendalikan oleh Syarikat SESCO Berhad.

Kedua, talian DC voltan tinggi dari Bakun ke Tanjung Parih, Sarawak sepanjang 660 km. Talian ini pada voltan 500 kV jenis bipolar (dua kutub; positif dan negatif).

Ketiga, talian DC voltan tinggi dari Tanjung Parih, Sarawak ke Tanjung Tenggara, Johor sepanjang 670 km. Talian ini dibawah lautan pada voltan 500 kV dengan 3 atau 4 kabel dengan keupayaan 700 MW seutas.

Sebagai sebahagian system talian penghantar ini, 2 stesyen pengubah akan dibina di Bakun dan Tanjung Tenggara. Talian DC voltan tinggi ini akan disambung ke Grid Nasional yang dikendalikan oleh Tenaga Nasional Berhad.

Apabila siap nanti:
Empangan Bakun akan menjadi empangan jenis CFRD yang tertinggi didunia dengan tinggi 205 m.
Tasik Bakun akan menjadi tasik terbesar di Malaysia (mengikut isipadu dan juga luas permukaan).
Stesen janakuasa Bakun akan menjadi penjana elektrik terbesar di Malaysia, mengatasi Empangan Pergau.
Talian penghantar bawah laut Bakun akan menjadi yang terpanjang di dunia, mengatasi talian penghantar dari Norway ke Belanda.

Sarawak Background

Borneo Culture, Heritage, James Brooke, History

Sarawak, like Sabah, was ruled by the Brunei Empire until the arrival of the British adventurer James Brooke in the early 19th Century. He helped to quell an uprising against Brunei by the natives, and was given the title of Sarawak’s Rajah in return. Establishing a dynasty of ‘White Rajahs’, Brooke and his descendants ruled till the Japanese occupation during World War II in 1945. After that, Sarawak was ceded to the British Authorities until it became a part of Malaysia in 1963. Just like Sabah, Sarawak has a diversity of indigenous groups, up to 28 in fact. Each has their own distinct culture, traditions and skills. The main tribes are the Iban, who make up the majority, followed by the Bidayuh, Melanau and Orang Ulu. Ibans The Ibans are the largest indigenous group in Sarawak, forming one third of the total population. They have a past reputation as fearsome head hunters and fierce warriors. Their traditional establishments are located around the banks of Sarawak’s mighty rivers, such as the Batang Ai, Skrang, Saribas and the Rajang River. They are also known for building some of the most intricate and complex longhouses among all the indigenous communities in Borneo, utilising materials such as bamboo, tree bark and hard wood. Each longhouse is led by a ‘Tuai’ or headman, and the people who live inside form their own mini democratic administration system. Today, the Ibans grow crops such as rubber, pepper, cocoa, palm oil and hill paddy to sustain their livelihoods. Many have migrated to the bigger cities but still maintain their ancestral ties with longhouse villages. Bidayuh The Bidayuhs are a series of tribes which are localised in certain areas of Sarawak. Each tribe is known to speak a different dialect and many believe they were the first people to settle in the land. Known for the hospitality and warmth, the Bidayuh are expert farmers, toiling hard to build their land on agriculture. They are also good hunters. Melanau The Melanaus are concentrated mostly in the coastal region of Sarawak, nestled between the Rajang and Baram rivers. Today, most Melanaus live in Malay-style villages rather than traditional longhouses. They were once seafaring people like the Bajaus in Sabah but do conduct agricultural activities such as sago growing. Although they have their own dialect, their language is similar to Malay. The Melanaus are also known for the massive longhouses, which can reach up to 40 feet in height. Orang Ulu Orang Ulu is a generic term to describe a group of tribes living upriver in the inner areas of Sarawak. They are primarily made up of the Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit and Penan tribes. The Kayans are expert boat-makers, being able to carve a boat out of a single block of ‘Belian’ tree. The Kenyah, on the other hand, are skilled paddy farmers with a love for music and dance. Kelabit The Kelabits inhabit the highland regions of Sarawak, forming close-knit communities that thrive on agriculture. Their famous product is ‘Bario’ rice, a fragrant and delicious type of rice grown from the mountains. In recent years, they have diversified their crops to include oranges and grapes. Penan The Penan are truly Sarawak’s last nomadic group who still practise travelling between areas to search for harvests from the jungle and hunting. However, there are also many who have opted to live in traditional longhouses. The Penan are famous for weaving beautiful mats and baskets.

agi idup agi ngelaban

Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban - is it applicable to Dayak today. by Dr. John Brian Anthony

Fighting Motto

This Sarawak Ranger fighting motto “Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban” and later adopted by Malaysian Rangers is an Iban words which mean “Fight until Death” and some has literally translated as “As long as your are still alive you fight on”. The Dayak are famous for their bravery and skill as a fighting force and won the highest bravery award from Britain and Malaysia. The Malaysia Ministry of Defence recognised the Dayak fighting skill and spirit where “retreat” is a non-word in war and “afraid” does not exist for the Iban warrior who are the direct descendant of the headhunter of Borneo.

AGI IDUP AGI NGELABAN is not a reckless approach to win battle and war. It is grounded on key success factors: leadership, objective, plan, knowledge, skill, organization, resources, network, process, systems and strong value system. This motto has made the Dayak very successful headhunters and modern soldiers but it has not been translated into a motto for Dayak success into the globalization of the 21st century.

Ritualistic

Dayak fighters follow very strict ritual in their preparation for war and when they are going into battles they observed very strict rules and code of conduct of fighters. Some of these strict code of conduct are meant for the warrior family to observe and the larger community must observe it too. The rules for each level are specific and must be followed with strict enforcement by the chosen headman of the community. The women folk played key role in ensuring the smooth function of the community and provide essential support to every family where a value system of “community first before self” is strictly enforced through the community work system and process. Everyone look after the well being of one another in the long house community when the warrior are off to do battle.

Album : Rock Steady C Run Em Running all the time Am Running to the future With you by my side Me Em I´m the one you chose Out of all the people You wanted me the most I´m so sorry that i`m fallen Em Help me up let´s keep on running Don´t let me fall out of love Running running as fast as we can Em I really hope you make it ( do you think we`ll make it?) Am We`re running Keep holding my hand It´s so we don´t get separated Be Em Be the one I need Am Be the one I trust most Don´t stop inspiring me C Sometimes it´s hard to keep on running Em We work so much to keep it going Don´t make me want to give up
