Investigate this case equal to bring down the business of our beloved white hair CM. The police won't help any further. All they can say is not enough evidence. rape case of course not enough evidence bcoz normally you'll have check the semen upon the rape event. but this case has been long overdue. the gov of sarawak think that penans are stupid ppl just bcz they are nomadic tribe. the only solution to this is,by kick our CM out of this state. tq put my blog in here.

When news regarding the alleged rapes of the Penan girls and womenfolk start circulating in the cyber space there was some official response denying the abuse and with the police claiming that BMF was not cooperative and they were unable to trace witnesses to pursue the matter further. We are still waiting for Dr Ng Yen Yen's report and what Suhakam is going to do about such allegations? Sometimes I wonder whether we can call ourselves civilised. How civilised mainsream malaysians are is reflected in the manner we treat our meek and weak indigeneous fellow malaysians. We do not have much information on such happenings bcos the main sream media do not report or highlight such news. If there is an official attempt to do a cover up, then it is more effective to internationalise the fight for justice for the Penans and in the cyber space.

The government of Malaysia is worse than dog. They impose so-called NEP to elevate the economic status of bumi-putra but the real son of the soil, the Penans, were left to rot and abuse by rulling political parties-linked timber companies. We must create more awarness on the plight of the Penans so that the useless govt in Putrajaya can start to act to save its own face. Absolutely sadden by this article.
