Dayak told to change mindset to progress

SRI AMAN: The Dayaks ought to change their mindset in all aspects of life if they aspire to achieve progress.

Simanggang assemblyman Datuk Francis Harden Hollis said in todays modern world, the Dayaks ought to progress with other communities so that together they could contribute towards the developemt of the country.

"A change of mindset is crucial for the Dayaks if they want progress like the other communities and there are many fields for us to explore rather than depending on one particular field," he said after officiating at SUPP Gawai gathering organised by SUPP Lingga branch at Rumah Inchang at Skirau Ai, Bakong near here yesterday.

The Dayaks should emulate the Chinese and Malays who were already succesfull in many fields.

Harden, who is also Assistant Minister of Rural Development, also reminded the Dayaks to be more open-minded and support the government development policies to ensure they were not left behind.

"The government needs your support so that its development plans and programmes can be easily carried out," he said.

Sekayu sega wie enseluai.
Tang ke diatu kita ke nembiak
Nurun nyadi soldadu
Bulih kita tu pangkat tinggi adat nyadi tuai.
Nyadi kita tu ila
Sama gayu sama guru,
Sama chelap sama lindap.
Tinggi nama tampak berita,
Nemu adat tinggi pangkat.

A must-have treat for Gawai

Each and every single ingredient must be perfect to get the right crispiness for PENGANAN JALA, a must-have delicacy for Gawai Dayak.
    It was not difficult to make it, but one needed patience and perseverance to get it right. It cannot be tough or too brittle. The main ingredient of the delicacy are palm sugar, rice flour and water, and is made by trickling the batter into a coconut ladle with hole. Then we need to tap the ladle as the batter goes into the cooking oil. Just after a few second, we take the cooked batter and fold it into triangle, making it look like a folded fishing net.
The brown, sweet and crispy Iban deep-fried cake made for the Gawai celebration is similar to kuih sarang semut found in the peninsular. It use as part of the items offered during the Miring ceremony, a traditional ritual giving thanks to old ancestor spirit, believe to be roaming around the village during that particular festival.
As some of the Iban said,"Without penganan jala, Gawai Dayak will not complete or perfect". It is a must-have in every household.
Gawai which mean a festival in Iban and Bidayuh, which were once the only tribes that celebrated Gawai Dayak in the state. But due to mixed marriages among the tribes, the festival is celebrated throughout the state.
Traditionally, Gawai Dayak is a thanks-giving celebration  to the rice gods for providing a good harvest and also to keep bad spirit at bay.
