Richard Engan, Social and Political Activist from Baram
*The Importance of Indigenous Rights in Leadership: A Focus on Chief Ministers like Stephen Kalong Ningkan and Tawi Seli*
Richard commented on how Taib Mahmud and Rahman Yakub were able to maintain power for 44 years as Sarawak's chief minister when Melanaus were only 5% of Sarawak's population. And when talking about the administration of Adenan and Abang Johari as Chief Minister of Sarawak (they are both Malays), the total time that the Malays and Melanaus dominated Sarawak politics was 54 years.
Richard got the First Chief Minister Stephen Kalong Ningkan and the second Chief Minister Tawi Seli too honest and naive in politics. They are also not highly educated but have the principle of defending the rights of Sarawak. This is not liked by UMNO as the government in the federation. UMNO cooperated with Rahman Yakub and Taib to seize the rights of Sarawak in return for Rahman Yakub and Taib remaining in power. The same policy was used during the administration of Adenan and Johari openg until now. The Iban Dayaks in particular are confused, they are said to be part of the government when they have representatives in the PBB (PESAKA) but that is just a mask.
The Dayaks in the PBB are only given small ranks and positions but the greatest power is held by the Malays and Melanaus. The clearest evidence is that the Malay and Melanau areas are advanced with various facilities while the Dayak areas remain backward. The Dayaks remain poor but the Malays and Melanaus work with capitalists to build dams, logging and oil palm plantations that take away the Dayaks' land.
Richard asked the Dayak people to realize this fact and stop supporting GPS. Only then can Dayak become Chief Minister again. The real question is not which race becomes the Chief Minister, but the most fair and honest Chief Minister- Said Richard.
