Malaysia: The Taming of the Dayak - The PBDS saga continues In the local parlance of Sarawak Dayak politics, James was cast as the next Jabu, referring to Alfred Jabu, a longstanding Deputy Chief Minister popularly portrayed as the paradigm of the subservient and obsequious Dayak. Fractious and ineffective as they may have been, Dayaks, their leaders and politicians cannot be ignored; they have, however, to be kept in line — a process that has been going on in one form or another since the Stephen Kalong Ningkan affair and even prior to that in the consolidation of Brooke rule. Dayaks in general, and Iban in particular, urgently face the real possibility of their becoming an urban and rural underclass. www.aliran.com /monthly/2004a/6h.html   (4443 words)

Brneo97d The death toll, the use of rifles, and the geographic scope of the Dayak attacks on the Chinese are similar to the 1996-97 attacks on the Madurese. Many Dayaks were eliminated from government administration for their alleged leftism after Soeharto's "New Order" came to power in early 1966, and one result of the New Order's 1973 decision to reduce political parties to three was that the ability of Dayaks to compete against others for political posts was virtually eliminated. Not only do the Dayak lose income, but they often find that the rivers on which they depend for transport and drinking water are either blocked by logs floating downstream to sawmills run by the timber companies or polluted by chemical run-off from the agroforestry operations. www.hrw.org /reports/1997/wkali/Brneo97d-02.htm   (3509 words)

Inside Indonesia 51 - Dayak anger ignored The recent so-called 'ethnic conflicts' between Dayak and Madurese in West Kalimantan are a classic example of economic tensions manifested as ethnic tensions. The plantation managers complain that the Dayak are not always ready and willing to work in the plantations, and the Dayak complain that the work is not always available when they want it. Fifteen years ago in West Kalimantan, while I was studying Dayak disputes over a nucleus estate project near Sanggau, a traditional Dayak leader (temenggung) told me: 'As long as everyone profits the same and works the same, there is no one who will not want to cooperate with the plantation program'. www.insideindonesia.org /edit51/dove.htm   (1536 words)

:: Institut Dayakologi :: In the Dayak Kanayatn tradition, the dominant group involved in the conflict, that which is usually referred to by outsiders as "headhunting" usually arose as a consequence of self-defence, mostly concerning territory, and collectively rather than individually. The Dayak, given their strong adat, or indigenous law, do not carry weapons with them into public areas or houses, as all disputes are to be resolved without recourse to violence. In the case of a Madurese killing a Dayak, there are adat sanctions that the killer must abide by, and the Dayak community from where the victim came has the obligation to see that they are carried through. www.dayakology.com /publications/articles_news/eng/role.htm   (3371 words)
