The first explosion before this. KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 13): There was an explosion on Sunday on the Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline in East Malaysia but the situation is now under control, a fire and rescue department official said on Monday. “The explosion is still under investigation. Due to communication problems and the remoteness (of the site), our team was late in relaying information to our system. But Petronas’ ERT (emergency response team) brought the explosion and a small fire under control,” Sarawak state department director Khirudin Drahman told  Reuters . State-owned energy company Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) operates the 500-kilometre-long pipeline. The explosion occurred in the northern district of Marudi. Petronas did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It is not clear if Petronas halted operations of the pipeline, which carries gas from the Kebabangan gas field in Sabah state to Bintulu in Sarawak where Petronas operates one of the world'...

Image
As far as i knew this Kayan community are from Uma Pu community was part of the Kayan community who were previously from the Belanah Kayan community for many decades. As the community became larger and hard to managed, the community leaders who used to be from the aristocrat group decided to split the community into two groups. The group are presently at Long Atip and Long Bedian. Long Bedian group to occupy the right side of the Belanah river while the other the left side for the river. History also said that these Uma Pu were from Selaan area ( currently Kenyah occupied). They swapped the land. That was many hundreds years back during the head hunting heroes era. Long Bedian folks actually have been blessed more that their counterpart.  Both famous and the infamous event are in Long Bedian.e.g The first community to receive the national King and Queens of Malaysia, the first community to received the nation's Prime Minister the then and current Dr Mahatir MOhamad ( H...

Penans of Ba’ Medamot

Image
A new chapter for the 80 Penans of Ba’ Medamot Borneopost -Posted on December 3, 2010, Friday MIRI: As for those who have never set foot in Ba’ Medamot in the deep interior of Baram in Sarawak, they may not be aware of the difficulties in bringing development to this remote settlement. Located on the mountain range, about 2,000 feet above sea level, Ba’Medamot has no roads or rivers that directly connect the settlement with the outside world. The only way to reach Ba’ Medamot is by walking. Thus walking for hours or even days through the thick jungle is nothing new for people like Raja @ Sabin Libat, head of the Ba’ Medamot settlement with a population of 80 Penans. “To get to the nearest logging trail, we normally walk for      four hours. To Bario it takes two days and we have to put      up in the jungle for the night,” he said in the little Malay that he knew to the writer who was recently in Ba’ Medamot. The writer a...

End Of Year - Happy Ending

Image
At every year end in Miri, lots of activities take place at almost every corner of the Resort City. Taking for example wedding ceremony, engagement ceremony, church fund raising activities, individual villages activities, political activities. All of these activities host dinner here and there so just imagine how the Miri hotel ball room are booked. Events are taking place almost every weekends. During the dinner event, on of my favorite activities is the traditional dance and  the recorded sape music. Yeah...sape music a popular inhouse player can easily do that. e.g on the 19-12-2010 the Long Bedian will be having their get-together-dinner to be done at Miri civic center. Lot of activities are line up beside eating. Long Bedian which is one of the beneficiary of the  trans Sarawak - Sabah gas pipelines.

Two Different Governance in one Government

Image
Its about assistance during natural disaster like floods, fire and so on. When Sarawak longhouses were gutted by fire or longhouse submerged under water there will be 2 likely decision by local politicians and government official.Of course politician and government officials are the same cloud. They will say we will monitor the situation and so far we have not receive any report. This is a crime committed upon those affected. The incident are seen and published while they wait for report. Even they receive report they will say no money allocated. Even if there is money allocated, they will say no infrastructure. Thats happening in Sarawak. While in another situation in another Malaysia  (western States) its different. Action seem to be better off. is this because the area is under the nose of the federal ministers or something else. There seem to no money issues in Sarawak states when immediate needs are crying knocking at the door. What happen to all the taxpayers money? The roy...

OOps Just Forget about Malaysia Day

Malaysia Day - 1st after 47 years.... That’s 31 August 1957 and 16 Sep 1963 Especially the 2 states that complete the formation of the country Malaysia . Its about 50 years politicians for these 2 states ( Sabah and Sarawak ) were just ignorant. They may not be guilty or otherwise about the final day. I am thankful for the current PM of Malaysia YB Dato’ Seri Nazib Razak the son of the former prime minister who prophesized the 1Malaysia concept. He must have been looking at the fundamental as to why the Malaysians in West Malaysia states ( Johore, Selangor, Malacca, Pahang, kelantan, Terenganu,Perak, Kedah,Perlis, Negeri Sembilan)  don’t talk and understand so much about their counterpart in East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak . They ( almost all politicians) mentioned about Chinese, Indian, Melayu and none about the minority tribe from Sabah and Sarawak . Its always CIM or MIC ( Melayu India Cina). “It is this large group of Malaysians from the two Borneo states that we...

Money Power

About money. Plastic, paper, silver, gold,....are all with values. Everybody seek money! regardless of ages, races, class etc. People get killed for money. Money creates anything. It can buy anything. The main problem with money is that, why people need more of it when they have enough. Greeds creates fear among everybody. When there is a rich person, there are always poor ones around.

Ego and Power vs Codes of ethics.

Image
This land owned by someones else but claimed by the egoist guy claimed above the law. He made an agreement and witness by his own subordinate for the purpose of claiming all compensation from the third party who depend on him to arrange all matters regarding NCR with his own people. But the guardian turns into a predator. Im not sure and confident to write about this. What im intending to mentioned here is about those in power who become egoist and felt like above the laws. Taking a case involving native custom land./NCL/NCR. Land and survey codes or clause 210(e) mentioned that a wrong witness over somebody's land will be entitled to 5 yrs jail term and RM$100K fine. I suppose that this also applies to tempering to with intend falsifying document to switch rightfull owners. Meaning to say if a person inform another party that he owns a piece of land ( which is actually someones else) and he claim any compensation in money terms or any kinds can be executed under this clause. mak...
