KAUM PENAN & ULU DI SARAWAK SENTIASA DIBELA

-DAKWAAN PEMBANGKANG YANG KAUM PENAN & ULU DI ANAK-TIRIKAN SELAMA INI LEBIH-LEBIH LAGI BERKENAAN DENGAN ISU KAD PENGENALAN SEBENARNYA MELESET BELAKA .. SEMENJAK TAHUN 2009 KERAJAAN MENERUSI AGENSI-AGENSI BERKAITAN RANCAK MELAKSANAKAN TANGGUNGJAWAB MEREKA .. NAH, AMBIK KOW! KEKEKE!!!-

 

Hakikatnya, pihak kerajaan maupun badan korporat sentiasa mendekati dan mencari cara yang sesuai dalam usaha untuk memastikan penduduk pendalaman Sarawak agar mereka memiliki pengenalan diri sebagai warganegara Malaysia.

Tuduhan mengatakan kaum Penan ataupun masyarakat orang Ulu dinafikan hak kerakyatan hanya sekadar propaganda pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

 

Sebaliknya usaha konsisten seperti ini jarang digembar-gemburkan di media sosial, lebih lanjut sila baca bukti dibawah;

KUCHING: Poverty, distance and lack of familiarity with governmental procedures are some of the main reasons that have hindered rural folk in Sarawak from obtaining identification documents, said Sarawak Energy (SEB) resettlement officer for Murum hydroelectric project, Bit Surang. 

He said the high number of unregistered Penans and Kenyahs in Murum was discovered during SEB’s many engagement activities with the people for the Murum project, where the issue has been curbed with assistance from the National Registration Department (NRD), local community leaders, and village heads.

“We know that proper identity documents will make life a lot easier and are confident that the resettlement arrangements will significantly improve access to education, health and basic government services,” he said when visiting Murum recently to help the Penans and Kenyahs register as legal Malaysian citizens.

He said efforts, which began in 2009 and intensified over 2011 and 2012, had to date successfully issued MyKad and birth certificates to 839 Penans and Kenyahs from Long Wat, Long Malim, Long Menapa, Long Uba, Long Singu, Long Luar and Long Tangau in Murum.

He said SEB’s identity card registration initiative was only the latest example of numerous engagements and community gatherings that had been organised over the years and the reality of the situation contrasted starkly with the baseless allegations made by radical foreign activists, who falsely claimed a lack of engagement.

Meanwhile, Sylvester Tausin, the NRD officer who was in Murum to distribute the new MyKad and birth certificates to the Penans and Kenyahs, was especially pleased with the initiative taken over the years.

Through the collaboration with SEB, he said, the department had registered more than 90 per cent of the Penans and Kenyahs in Murum, since 2009.

 

The commitment by SEB is in line with the state and federal government’s vision of completing the registration exercise of undocumented Malaysians – an effort that also brings Malaysia closer to the compliance to Unicef’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

Under the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Undrip), everyone has a right to education, health and development, while UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People provides for access to land and livelihood from it.

Chief Minister Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud yesterday reminded all quarters as not to provoke the anger among the ethnic races in the state by deliberately created a sensitive issue.


"All quarters or parties should respect and recognize the rights of other communities or races in Sarawak and should definitely not to humiliate and degrade them."


"For me, the best way to maintain the unity of understanding and is not trying to find  and highightng faults in other's race without knowing the the validity of a matter and the best thing to do check it or keep quite rather than sensiolizing them at a greater level."


"This is because the implication is worser than the clash between race or ethnicity itself," he told reporters officiating the launching two books entitled: "The Lanjak Entimau Story: Changing Landscape In Biodiversity Conservation" and "Birds Of Bario And The Kelabit Highlands".


The ceremony attended also by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu, senior ministers and all members of the State Legislative Assembly was held at the Dining Hall Assembly State Legislative here yesterday.


Taib was earlier asked to comment on the report in a national tabloid last Sunday  quoting that the Penan tribe in a village in Ulu Baram still practices incest involving  family members including children with a parent or another sibling.


The results from the survey in the report alleged that about 15 families who live in the area despite the nomadic provided longhouses, blood relatives, 10 married couples with their own flesh and blood.


Elaborating more on the matter, Pehin Sri Taib warned all not to touch on sensitive issues and all races in Malaysia should be conserving besides protecting the rights of people with no dignity and image of anyone.
