Who will Determine the Future of Sarawak's Penan






A Swiss man,Bruno Manser was spent his five years living with the Penan people,completely adapting his lifestyle to their.Bruno Manser has dissapeared in Borneo and is feared dead.When his ages is 47 he last seen in May 2000 in the isolated village of Bareo in the Malaysian state of Sarawak.Manser is the person that make Penan among the most obscure.He was an environment activist.In Switzerland he was well-known because of his public activism for rainforest preservation and the protection of indigenous peoples.In Sarawak,he protect the semi-nomadic Penan.


Manser known as a provocateur by Malaysian official and they saw him as a fugitive.Even Bruno Manser only an environmental,they called him "enemy of the state number one".Because Manser give support to the Penan to protect their forest.Bruno also ever catch by inspector Lores Matios at Long Napir,Limbang at 1986.But Bruno escape and they cannot catch him.Sarawak's chief minister who is responsible for approving and denying all logging licenses in Sarawak ,had his personal at fortune at stake.


In my opinion,i think Bruno Manser was right to stop the government from developing the jungles of Sarawak and to depend Penan from change.Because our forest will damage or destroy if no peoples want to protect it.

Media

The media should be stopped from giving opinions against the government.Do you agree with this opinion?Give reasons.

Overall,my group is not agree with this opinion.This is because media is the agent for people to gives their opinion.The information in media ether it against government or not,must have a reason why the media give their opinion.Besides that,media such as internet,magazines,newspaper and television,gave more information to people about what government do.


Apart from that,if media stop giving their opinion against government there is no pro and con between government and people.Government also do not know what the people want.Sometimes government not take seriously about what people says because there is no contra from the other sides.When media give their opinion,it will help society.

Gender discrimination

Gender discrimination at Africa

In Africa,women are the victims of violence and discrimination in virtually in all cultures.Gender discrimination have been practiced since the dawn of man.Although some specific religions and tribes have been relegated to a secondary places in society.Gender inequality and gender bias is not technically the same as discrimination.The basic cause of the problem is the degrading cultural attitude that perceives males as superior to females.


A woman who gave birth to female is treated like an outcast not only by other people but by her husband.This negatives traditional attitude manifest in violence against women everywhere.The victims of the violence is women.The case some Africa societies,she is stunted in growth emotionally and psychologically.Such children not allowed to pass through adolescence before they are thrown into marriage.Soon they become child-mothers.They becomes adult before their time.


The other forms of violence against women is sex abuse.Sexual abuse in all its ramifications,females genital mutilation which renders a women incomplete.Apart from being victims of violence,women also suffer gender discrimination in various situation.Almost every Africa culture encourages male child preference.So,early in life,a female child in a typical Africa home is bewildered as she notices that his male siblings are preferred to her.

The conclusion is,women always be the victims of gender discrimination.They treat women like an animal.The people who practiced the gender discrimination much have a awareness.It must be change.This problem must be tackled radically.Government must stop this gender discrimination between men and women and give equal opportunities.Women on their part should vigorously campaign against and try to overcome gender barriers.
