Native Students in political process analysis:
I presume you like this write-up....and let me add for the sake of sharing opinions with readers herein this weblog.
Like I always said much earlier in this weblog, politics is not my profession; “randau politik aja”. Other than pursuing personal development, education and economics, one of the other important elements for the Dayak community growth/sustainability is “politics”.
In my personal intelligence gathering; nowadays it is very common to find Dayak students actively involving themselves in politics. What a surprise?
A primary distinction must be made here between politics as active participation in political movements and the study of political science. The latter is an academic subject and involves the study of the administrative systems of different countries, the formation of political parties, different judiciary systems, etc.
Political science, therefore, is a theoretical study of political systems. Politics means the formation of political parties and their active participation in the administration of a country. This involves organizing political meetings, canvassing for elections and the manipulation of people for political gains.
The participation of our students in politics has certain drawbacks. The main occupation of students should be the pursuit of their respective gatherings and/or outdoors (dialogue/seminar/randau ruai/conference/courses) of research and study.
All their time and energy should also be used in this activity; the knowledge to lead a nation and our community in the forefront.
Questions for thoughts:

In my personal intelligence gathering; nowadays it is very common to find Dayak students actively involving themselves in politics. What a surprise?
- Is this political conscious?
- Is this new political trends?
- Is this a realization of backwardness, poverty and/or marginalization?
- Is this a new hope?

Questions for thoughts:
- Why are Dayaks categorized by others as “Lakian” or “Lain-lain” or “2nd Class Bumiputras” or “4th Class Citizens” or “Natives” or “Sea Dayaks” or “Land Dayaks” or “Orang Ulu” (rural peoples)?
- Why Dayaks are leftovers in geo-politics, economics and industrial development?
- Why are Dayaks backward in science, technology and high-techs development?
- Why are Dayaks undereducated, underserved, underprivileged and underdeveloped?
- Why Dayak lacks in E5 (Education, Economics, Equity, Equality & Employment)?
It is only in this way that they can secure their own individual futures and thereby safeguard the future of the nation. Participation in politics means a huge waste of this precious time and energy.
Although politics may be beneficial in some ways students would be well-advised to stay well away from politics. Their main business is to concern themselves with personal development and/or education or studies.

- By doing so, they can do the most good for themselves with studies.
- By doing so, they can do the most good for themselves, our community sustainability as well as for the nation.
Lastly, we truly need "Check and Balance" in developing our State and Nation altogether. Thank you.
Hallelujah and happy Sabbath Day!
