DNC president: Our wish for 2015 is for the federal government to recognise our existence as Dayak



Dayak National Congress (DNC) president Mengga Mikui's Christmas Day's message 

This Year of 2014 is an eventful and challenging year for Malaysia and particularly for the Dayak Community of Sabah and Sarawak.

Dayak National Congress [DNC] has been in existence for just over one year. We in DNC have been working very hard to serve the Dayak community. This first year of our existence is a year of planning while attending to and addressing urgent matters affecting the Dayak community.

Christmas Day's Message by Baru Bian, State PKR chairman

This year, the word that comes to me as I reflect on the events of the past 12 months is ‘love’, and so my Christmas message this year revolves around this word. The essence of our Christian faith is love. The greatest lesson to be distilled from the Bible is that of love.

One of the most quoted verses of the Bible in John 3:16 lays the foundation of our faith: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

"Right from the start, the secretive conversion of “open tender” to “selected tender” process for the award of the project smacks of cronyism and improper industrial practice.
