Diatu meh Maia kitai dayak pulai ngagai Parti Asal Bansa Sarawak.
Arevered "elder" in Sarawak politics has made a clarion call to the Dayak community to return to the Sarawak National Party (SNAP) fold and help the party reclaim its right.
In making the call, lawyer and former diplomat Dato Seri Daniel Tajem urged Dayaks "not to wait" until their "individual right whittle to nothingness".
Tajem, who was also the former president of the now defunct Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS), urged all Dayaks, especially the ex-PBDS members in Sarawak, to join SNAP which is now undergoing a rebranding exercise.
"the policy, principle and the objective of SNAP are similar to those of the defunct PBDS.
So what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for all our native customary right (NCR) land to be taken away to be made as estates of certain Barisan National leaders and their cronies and family members with little pittance given to the landowner?
Do you wait until your individual rights whittle down to nothingness? Tajem asked.
Tajem, who was also former deputy chief minister, said that SNAP was the right avenue for the people to support.
"We want to play an important part in the machine of politics that will churn the wheel and I can see that with the death of PBDS, we have no alternative but support SNAP," he said.
