seminar on 15 October 2011 at Bilik Kuliah, Dewan Suarah Kota Samarahan.The seminar, 

first of its kind for Kuching and Kota Samarahan was attended by 170 SPM students from

SMK Serian, SMK Kota Samarahan, SMK Muara Tuang, SMK Tabuan Jaya and SMK Tebakang.

 

The main objective of having the one day seminar is to get students to be well prepared to

face the SPM examination. In line with this, three papers were presented;

i) English Language Questioning and Answering Techniques by Mr. Gepat Ak. Gadip

SPM exam soon, Dr. Dusit Jaul, the association’s President wants students to take full

responsibility for their future. Teachers and parents could do so much, but it will be the

students themselves who will be sitting in the classroom for their exam, comes examination

day.

 

Dr. Dusit reminded students attending the seminar that as students, their task is to study.

In this critical period, run-up to the exam, they should not be distracted by other on-goings.

SDGA achieved yet another milestone with the formation of Sri Aman Division Liaison 

Committee (DLC) on the 08 October 2011. A meeting to formalise the formation of Sri Aman 

DLC was chaired by the association’s President, Dr. Dusit Jaul and attended by twenty four 

participants.  Among those who attended the meeting were Cikgu Jamit Ajok (Pegawai 

Pelajaran Daerah Sri Aman) and Cikgu Baba Minggu (Pegawai Pelajaran Daerah Lubok Antu). 

SDGA’s Deputy President, Mdm. Noelle Lily Morse and its Treasurer General,Mr Tamoi Janggu 

were also present. 

  

The Sri Aman DLC is headed by Cikgu Francis Berayan, with Cikgu Marry Terrance Embol as 

Secretary. The other committee members are Cikgu Jamit Ajok, Cikgu Baba Minggu, Cikgu 

Dickson Palot Anak Melintan, Cikgu Joni Colin Singet and Cikgu Diana Denis Andrew. 

The immediate goals spelt out to Sri Aman DLC is membership drive for which the target set 

is to recruit 350 new members by the end of this year; with 200 members from Sri Aman and 

150 members from Lubok Antu. The newly appointed Sri Aman DLC is confident and gave 

assurance that this figure can be achieved based on the estimated number of graduates in 

Sri Aman Division.  

  

Earlier on in his opening remark, Dr. Dusit emphasised the need for Dayak intellectuals

to work together as a solid team promoting the value of education among the Dayak 

community.  This is more so when Dayak achievement in education thus far is nothing to 

be proud of compared to the other communities. In this context, Dayak graduates, wherever

they may be and regardless of whatever positions held, should become willing players to be 

in the forefront leading their communities into the 21st century. 

 

We should discard the prevailing temptation of self centrismto one that is community centric. 

The progress of the Dayak community in education is a collective responsibility especially on 

the part of Dayak graduates.  In a way, it is payback time for us; giving back to our community 

for the positions we hold today in society.

 

The formation of Sri Aman DLC is the first among the DLC to be set up in the various Divisions 

and Dayak graduates in Sri Aman should be proud of this achievement.

INTRODUCTION

YB Dato Sri William Mawan, Minsiter of Social Development & Urbanisation Sarawak (published in The Borneo Post, 11 March, page 8), told all Dayak non-governmental organisations (NGOs) including Sarawak Dayak Graduates Association (SDGA) to rope in more youths in their activities both for fresh ideas and to give young people the platform to express themselves. 
 
To do this, Dato Sri William Mawan said these Dayak NGOs should have activities designed in such a way that would attract these youths to be actively involved in the NGOs’ programmes and activities.  
 
He added, these NGOs must list out their programmes and activities for the young to study.

 

 
"SDGA GRADUATES ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMME"
 
In line with the call by YB Dato Sri William Mawan, SDGA is taking a lead to organise a pilot programme called "SDGA GRADUATES ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMME" this year – targeting young Dayak graduates and working professionals aged 20-30 years old.
 
This one-day programme will be the platform for the Dayak graduates to express their views/thoughts on current issues and concerns relating to socio-economic development (such as educational awareness and motivation, job opportunities, career guidance, rural-urban migration, youth empowerment, etc.) concerning the Dayak community especially among the youths and graduates.
 
Issues and recommendations discussed during the programme will be used as a basis/guideline for SDGA to plan and implement its future programmes for Dayak youths and graduates.
 
The programme also aims to gather fresh ideas and recommendations from Dayak youths and graduates on the proposed SDGA’s programmes/activities that are in line with their needs and aspirations.
 
On this note, the proposed programmes/activities will be designed and carried out by theDayak youths and graduatesthemselves with the guidance and support from SDGA. SDGA will assist the Dayak youths and graduates to seek financial support from the relevant ministries and agencies to implement the proposed programmes/activities.
 
In the long run, SDGA hopes to engage and empower young Dayak graduates and professionals to be involved in its community development programmes/activities that can contribute towards the advancement of the Dayak community, particularly in the field of education and socio-economic development.
