John Brian Anthony, Sarawak Political Analyst
*Sarawak's Call for Inclusive Policy Representation*
John Brian was surprised by the statement from the Prime Minister's Department appointing 4 policy advisors to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. All of them are from Malaya, none from Sarawak. His question is - does PM Anwar truly understand the situation in Sarawak to the extent that he does not need policy advisors from Sarawak, or does PMX only rely on GPS advice? - asks John Brian.
John believes Professor Dr. Madeline Berma, a Dayak Sarawakian economist, is qualified to advise the Prime Minister. Prof. Madeline has conducted many studies and has been in rural areas in Sarawak.
When asked about new policies that need to be implemented in Sarawak, John Brian believes that many reforms need to be done immediately to qualify Anwar as the Father of Reform. Among the policies currently formulated, he sees the importance of the 3 main races - Malays, Chinese, and Indians. Now is the time for the Dayaks to be included. Policies should not prioritize only one religion but instead provide assistance and attention to all religions in Malaysia.
The role of the Malay sultans is so dominant in the administration of the country. Why doesn't the TYT of Sarawak have the same authority? Current land policies tend to grant PL to giant companies that are already wealthy. But why doesn't the government gazette land for development by poor villagers and rural areas? The same company is given the opportunity to build wealth repeatedly. The poor are left behind. It is time for the government to establish an agency focused on devising ways to develop the Dayak of Sarawak, which goes down to the ground to meet and dialogue with the poor in simple language - says John Brian.
