The New Reality - Change! We Can and We Must!

The New Reality - Change! We Can and We Must!

It is an undeniable written and oral truth passed down through the generations that life without change in any human society is death. Insomuch, human civilizations have always been changing either for good or bad, depending on the government of the day. We, the minority Orang Ulu (OU) living in Alo Balel (Balui River) in Belaga and in other parts of Belaga district, the state and country in general are no exception to this truth. It's a timeless reality - Change!

Interestingly, our OU Kayan and Kenyah's word for CHANGE are Balui and Balel respectively. Indeed, we have been living in the River of Change from the days of old. Yes, the River of Change is flowing and we must flow along with it. Some try to stop the natural flow of the River of Change but they can't for long. If it stops flowing, the river dies! And death will be the end of all depending on the mighty Balui River too! It must keeps flowing because CHANGE means survival. We Must and Can Change, flowing together in the River of Change for OU society posterity!

Whether we are pro-government or anti-government, like it or not, we, OU in Daleh Belaga must and can change. That is change in tandem with time....The New Reality...Moving on with development and progress in our Daleh Belaga!

There is a definite need for us to rise up to the occasion to take up the challenge now coming our ways - confronting and looking at us right in the face. The question is, 'Is there anyone among us daring to take the bull by the horns?  Greenhorns among us may have some reservations but those old hands in their respective fields should lead by example so that the inexperienced young ones could somehow follow in their footsteps!
 
Yes, we must and can change our weaknesses into our strengths. Above all else, we, OU in Daleh Belaga,  - must change our mindset. Maybe, it is difficult to do but nothing is really impossible for when there is a will, there is a way, so it goes. OU must no longer procrastinate but be proactive, instead. We must discard our 'blaming others' or 'crab' mentality and other negative attitudes. We must be positive and progressive in order to participate meaningfully in any development projects taking place right in our own backyards.

Ketua Masyarakat, ADUN & MP from Daleh Belaga with PM at PWTC on 18.2.11

Yes, OU in Daleh Belaga must remember these days because of their historical significance! Our beloved YBs have relayed the concerns, cares, worries, problems, needs and desires to the highest figure in authority in the nation. And by so doing, instructing every relevant authority to look into every matter highlighted, accordingly. Let us pray that our requests and the promises made by the government may be fulfilled as expected!

People of Daleh Belaga, for us to reap and enjoy the milk and honey (benefits) of change blowing across our Daleh Belaga, let us join hands together as one and jump in one big longboat, the BN boat. Maybe, I am wrong but as for now I think BN is still the best alternative for us in Daleh Belaga to sail the rough waters and take us safely home to our desired destination.

PM visit to Daleh 3B on 15.1.11

Young intellectuals, let us be part of the solutions to the problems besetting our respective community in Daleh Belaga. Come along aside our leaders, elders and YBs, Please, do not just criticize them for their perceived weaknesses and shortfalls. Instead, show them your ideas, suggestions and solutions, if you think that you are intellectual, educated, wise and smart. Do not be fooled by some political sweet talks and deceived by the wiles of wicked political schemers and masters!
