Dear readers

All are welcome to leave comments.

In Dayak Iban system of belief there is no Aki Andan but only the legendary Ini Andan. Aki Andan is deliberately used here merely to denote a male counterpart and not in any way to be construed as her spouse as there being none. Ini Andan occupies a very special social and spiritual station. She is also in possession of many special skills, which among others, the ability to foretell with accuracy what is to come in the near future and also often the saviour of the wounded and downtrodden. Not specifically endowed with such skills or abilities, hence her modern male counterpart has to use the 'teropong' to look into the distant future.

Jawah's defeat was not unexpected

I said at one dinner attended by a number of bloggers prior to the announcement of candidate by DSAI in no uncertain term that Jawah would lose in the Batang Ai by-election. "Bawin has a good chance and would win with Jawah's supporters on his side", I said. But nobody seemed to agree except Harris Ibrahim. Five times victory is not a benchmark of a winner, which many like to quote.

The rest is history and I shall write no more on this issue. The TWO BUKITS are not unexpected. Over there they have better consensus as to who should contest.

Congratulations to the winner, Malcolm Mussen. To the loser, learn a bit to analyse your strength and know that time is never the same.

I sama belajar dgn Henry tok, seba ya i terasa marah dengannya. Mengenali latarbelakang dan caranya, i harapkan nya dapat jadi salah seorg pemimpin dayak utk pkr.Percaya dan yakinlah bhw Taib, Jabu n George Chan hanya akan terkedu apabila barisan muda dan org baru bangkit bersama kepimpinan pkr swak.anyway, Bro Henry, i pray for ur health and hope u boleh bersama dibarisan depan.

Jawah's defeat is a small developmental victory to the Batangites, but a deadly defeat to the Sarawakians, as a whole.
Jawah's defeat is Sarawakians' defeat. Malcolm's victory is Taib's and Jabu's victory.
