The Penan people should not be influenced by the negative propaganda of NGOs that urge the Penan to oppose the government. Nick questioned the statement, when Penan opposed the government's development plan. We even ask that schools, clinics, roads, clean water supply, telecommunication connections and business and agricultural programs be brought to our place. In fact, all our requests are not able to be provided by the government. But what we are talking about is YB Dennis Ngau's intervention in the appointment of village heads in Ba Abang and Long Pakan. Witnessing the village leader supported by the majority of the village people - not ashamed to be appointed. On the other hand, the village head candidate supported by YB Dennis got a certificate of appointment from the district office. I question why YB Dennis did that? The answer is because the village chief who wants to support Yb Dennis allows the entry of logging and oil palm plantation companies to our land. It is true that there are NGOs that help us to work on UBFA. It is for the good of us Penan people, where we get fairer rights. Although the logging license in the UBFA area was not abolished as we demanded - at least the logging companies that want to enter our land should hold negotiations that satisfy us first. I beg YB Dennis to stop the provocation against the Penan people, YB should focus on bringing development. Not working on something that benefits his business cronies. -----------------------------------
