Dams kill promises!

Dams kill promises!

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 03:33 AM PDT

Today, RFS brings you an update on the Penan victims of the Murum Dam. We hear how they are suffering scarcity of basic needs, trapped in their new 'model villages' in the middle of nowhere.   SEB had promised to provide each family RM650 per month (well below the minimum wage). It then turned out this would come partly in the form of  food stuffs and only part in cash.

However, supplies have arrived late and too little the community says, plus the "free electrical supply" has turned out to be an empty promise. Gereng Jadung from Long Tangau, also tells the show that their children have missed school for days because of a damaged road that SEB has yet to repair. The story of Sarawak's dam programmes is littered with broken promises.

And we keep to the subject of education. Edy Noor Reduan from the NGO SAMM, questions our Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to explain his enjoyable five-days golf holiday trip in Dubai at tax payers' expense when he was in fact just attending a 4 hours program at the so-called Gulf Education and Training Exhibition (GETEX) 2014.

And our veteran commentator, Christina Suntai, examines why the Dayak populations, who are the majority  in Sarawak, are failing to take any leading roles the government in Sarawak.  Is it time for youngsters to learn about the strength of Dayaks unity within the political arena of yesterday years?

Stay tuned and we tell you more.

Hari ini, RFS membawa perkembangan terkini tentang Penan, mangsa empangan Murum,yang mengalami kekurangan keperluan asas, SEB berjanji untuk menyediakan perbelanjaan sejumlah RM650 setiap bulan termasuk makanan dan wang tunai, Bagaimanapun semuanya keperluan tersebut seringkali tidak datang dan tidak mencukupi. Tambahan pula "bekalan elektrik free" seperti yang dijanjikan adalah janji kosong semata-mata.Gereng Jadung dari Long Tangau,juga merungut bahawa anak-anak mereka tidak dapat pergi ke sekolah selama 10 hari disebabkan jalan rosak, tetapi SEB belum lagi membaikinya. Perkara ini berulang sekali lagi apabila kerajaan Sarawak telah memungkiri janji mereka apabila empangan tersebut dalam proses penyiapan dan para penduduk tidak berdaya.
Edy Noor Reduan, pengarah propaganda SAMM, menyoal Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Pelajaran, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin untuk menjelaskan perjalanan beliau selama lima hari yang dikatakan menikmati percutian golf di Dubai sedangkan beliau menghadiri Gulf Education and Training Exhibition (GETEX) 2014, yang hanya memakan masa selama 4 jam dan semua perbelanjaan tersebut dibayar oleh pembayar cukai di Malaysia?
Dan pengulas veteran kami, Christina Suntai mengkaji punca masyarakat Dayak yang mana adalah pengundi majoriti di Malaysia, tetapi gagal menerajui kerajaan di Sarawak, dan kebanyakan daripada belia tidak tahu kekuatan perpaduan masyarakat Dayak dalam arena politik bertahun lamanya. Jangan ke mana-mana dan kami akan membongkar semuanya!
