“Sometimes, the people are being made use of by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), be it local or foreign. The Murum Dam was announced years ago and why no blockade then?
“It is very clear that they are being instigated by the NGOs,” Awang Tengah said.
This Awg Tanah guy got it wrong. Local Native NGOs are just giving support to their much oppressed Penans brothers. And what is wrong if other NGOs are willing to give their support? Thats what they are supposed to do,give support where it is needed, help those in need, educate and inform the ignorant and illiterate Penans of their rights. He claimed that they have engaged and consulted the Penans but were the Penans informed of their rights then? Why was the damned dam built in secrecy for years before the people of Sarawak knew about it if Awg Tanah had nothing to hide? Why are they so willing to give thousands of acres of land to a company for Oil Palm Plantation while denying the thousands of natives a few hundred acres of stoney and rocky piece land? Where do Awg Tanah think the votes that made him king are from if not from the IGNORANT “as he claimed” Natives?
