I always welcome any opinions open-heartedly,provided they are:
1. honest
2. logical
But I cannot tolerate those who seem to be very opinionated but at the same time insisting me to accept and do as they said. The more you want to impose/force your opinion on me,the more I want to rebel.Enough said.
Penan girls claim abuse
by Hilary Chiew
PETALING JAYA: School was supposed to be a way for the community to improve their socio-economic situation.
However, Penan girls hitching rides to school and back have now found themselves easy victims of sexual abuse by logging company workers.
Interviews conducted in settlements in the Middle Baram area in northern Sarawak, revealed that several students had become victims of rapes by logging workers.
The students are boarders in two secondary schools in the area and only go back to their settlements during the school holidays.
Village leaders have previously appealed to timber camp managers to provide transportation for the students so that their journeys can be cut down to several hours from up to a week if done on foot.
Last year, a 16-year-old student from Long Kawi, a settlement in the Middle Baram, became pregnant after being raped while returning to her boarding school. She gave birth recently.
Relating the incident, she said she was hitching a ride with a logging company vehicle back to her school SMK Long Lama.
When the driver reached the logging camp, he refused to continue driving although the school was not much further.
She alleged that she was dragged to some bushes behind the camp and raped by a man who she believed had been drinking.
A student from the other secondary school with boarding facilities in Long San said she knew of cases of female students being driven to logging camps when taking transportation provided by companies.
Long Belok settlement headman Alah Beling believed the known cases could just be the tip of the iceberg.
Earlier reports quoted Sarawak Police Commissioner Datuk Mohmad Salleh as saying that police were prepared to launch immediate investigations into the allegations of sexual abuse against Penan girls by logging workers.
Women, Family and Community Develop-ment Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen and the Human Rights Commission have said that the complaints would be investigated.
Allegations of sexual abuse against Penan girls came to light after it was exposed last month by local and foreign non-governmental organisations.

The fact that how barbaric men can be really grossed me out. Back in the peninsular Malaysia, Malay power hungry leaders to some outdated Malay nationalist party are busy discussing on the power transition.These people claimed that they represent the voice of the Bumiputeras. While somewhere in East Malaysia, the dignity of the innocent young ones were easily ripped by these barbaric men. I think it is the responsibility of the authority to provide transportation for the girls,looks like their security were totally being disregard by the responsible party.
RPK don’t deserve to be sentenced without trial. In fact,we should convict all these predators under ISA and torture them to death..or the simplest and cost saving way to execute them is to drown them in the Batang Rajang river and let all the Bujang Senang maul them to bits.
Rumpun-Rumpun Alang by WS Rendra
Engkaulah perempuan terkasih, yang sejenak kulupakan, sayang
Kerna dalam sepi yang jahat tumbuh alang-alang di hatiku yang malang
Di hatiku alang-alang menancapkan akar-akarnya yang gatal
Serumpun alang-alang gelap, lembut dan nakal
Gelap dan bergoyang ia
dan ia pun berbunga dosa
Engkau tetap yang punya
tapi alang-alang tumbuh di dada
(inspirasi dari Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken)
Otak aku semakin laju berfikir,
Mahu pilih jalan yang mana,
Jalan yang satu; kerja mengajar anak bangsa tentang peri penting bahasa penjajah.
Jalan yang lagi satu; menjadi sebahagian dari sistem kapitalis,memakai tanda nama eksekutif. Dibayar upah yang banyak.Mungkin boleh bergaya dengan Louis Vuitton pada usia 28 tahun. Haha
Tentang jalan yang satu, Tuhan suka orang menyebar ilmu. Mungkin upah tidaklah besar mana,tapi upah di ’sana’ nanti mungkin berlipat ganda.
Tentang jalan yang lagi satu, Tuhan dah cakap dalam kitabNya, riba’ itu haram. Apa aku aku patut butakan mata ? Hangus aku di ’sana’ nanti.
Antara jalan yang satu dan jalan yang lagi satu, yang mana harus jadi pilihan ? =)
Kau sepatutnya bersyukur sebab tak pernah kena tampar dengan sesiapa.
Just you wait,one day you will pay.
Trust me.
Ini di’inspire’ dari phone conversation malam tadi.Aku kene kutuk.Damn.Haha
Soalnya, aku respect gila orang yang mampu pertahankan personaliti+identiti dia sendiri. Orang yang tak pernah pernah berusaha jadi orang lain.
However, ada beza di antara orang cuba menjadi orang dengan mereka yang sekadar cuba berlaku jujur pada perasaan. Tapi apa boleh buat,dalam dunia blogging ni,tak semua rasa boleh dizahirkan dalam kata.
Bagaimana seseorang itu menyusun kata dalam penulisan mungkin reflect personaliti orang itu.Tapi it does not necessarily reflect the person’s real persona.Mungkin sedikit saja.
Jawab kepada orang kutuk aku itu,haha. Just to put a great amount of emphasis here, I am not becoming ’someone else’ and inshaAllah will never attempt to be someone who I am not (and can never be).
I am still the loud-and-foul mouthed (and fingers) lass you know for the past 6 years.Haha.Don’t worry,no such thing as paradign shift la.Haha.
Ada pepatah Melayu menyatakan..
“Ikut hati mati..”
Tapi aku merasakan..
“Ikut hati menjadi..”
PS:Aku tak mahu kongsi ini dengan sesiapa. =)
