KUCHING, Feb 8, 2015: Sarawak PKR has rejected a proposal
to amend the "Dan Lain Lain" box in official federal government form
to "Bumiputera Iban" and "Bumiputera Bidayuh" , among others.
"We demand that the anthropologically correct term
of "Dayak" be used instead to classify aLL non-Muslim natives of Sarawak,
including the Kedayan and the Melanau.
"For clarity, it should be KAUM DAYAK SUKU IBAN, or
KAUM DAYAK SUKU LUN BAWANG, or KAUM DAYAK SUKU PENAN and so on," Sarawak
PKR information chief Vernon Aji Kedit said in a statement today.
