Harapan Bangsa - Hope of our Nation

With the years of lying, racial and religious rivalries and the emphasis on neutralizing the majority of the Christian voters in Sarawak and Sabah by the BN/UMNO Government, the Nation has been literary torn apart, the anger of the people concerning corruptions and privatisation of Government owned companies and statutory bodies which benefit only a few especially those who are in the Camps of the ruling elites, umnoputras as they have been branded , and the granting of full citizenship and voting rights to million of illegal Muslim immigrants are turning into deaf ears and blind eyes!
This song "Harapan Bangsa" - Hope for the Nation - had reached to a new level of meanings for millions of Christians especially those Borneo States which had been duped to join Malaysia and been a topic of heated debates among the fundametalist Muslim factions in Malaysia.
As you listen to this song, mediate on the words and pray especially for the common Malays who are also created in the picture and image of YHVH ELOHIM and Yeshua HaMashiach also loved them and died for them even as Satan is deceiving them to believe that it was Judas, and not Yeshua (Jesus), who was crucified and died on the Cross at Calvary two thousand plus years ago For their sins and salvation. What a deception! And of course, Satan is telling them we are the ones who are the DECEIVED ONES. Halleluya !

Preparing Sabahans to face the threats to Oil Palm Plantations .... Blessings turning into curses!

Oil-palm agriculture is the greatest immediate threat to biodiversity in Southeast Asia. Despite the efforts of environmentalists, oil palm continues to expand across the tropics. Those concerned about the impacts of oil palm on biodiversity must face some harsh social, economic, and ecological realities: (i) oil palm has been a very profitable crop; (ii) palm oil is used in so many products that simple, direct actions, such as boycotts, are unlikely to succeed; (iii) there is currently insufficient demand for certified sustainable palm oil and inadequate political clout from environmental groups in two of the biggest markets for palm oil—China and India—to slow the rate of forest conversion; and (iv) oil-palm agriculture has improved the lives of poor rural communities in Southeast Asia (although it has also disenfranchised some indigenous communities). To address the threats posed by oil-palm agriculture to biodiversity, environmentalists must change the behavior of the palm oil business through: (i) regulations to curb undesirable activities (e.g., a ban on converting forests to oil palm); (ii) financial incentives to promote desirable behavior (e.g., production of certified, sustainable oil palm); (iii) financial disincentives designed to discourage undesirable behavior (e.g., consumer pressure on major manufac- turers and retailers to use palm oil that does not come from plantations created at the expense of forests); and (iv) the promotion of alternative, more biodiversity-friendly uses of forested land that might otherwise be converted to oil palm. There is no single best approach for dealing with the oil-palm crisis in Southeast Asia; a mixture of regulations, incentives, and disincentives targeted at all sectors of the oil-palm industry is necessary to protect the region’s rapidly disappearing forests.

Innovation in Ministries

Sabah, previously known as North Borneo, has so much to explore and offer to the World at large not only in terms of its Cultural and physical bio-diversities, its rich flora and fauna, religious pluralism and racial tolerance but as a pivotal point for global agro-tourism which could contribute to the peace and prosperity in this region.
As far as those who subscribe to the teachings and Vision of Yashua HaMashiach, Isa Al-Masih in Arabic, this region will be the last frontiers in the 'ends of the World' that will experience the powerful visitation of the Holy Spirit that will lead to the transformation of corrupted leaders and governments into righteous and holy nations, bringing the love and glory of YHVH ELOHIM who had been revealed to the Kadazan as Kinoingan - The Name above all names!
But it will not happen unless there is genuine conviction and repentance by the leaders of the 12 main Kadazan tribes, namely KDZN or the Y and Z factions and all in between like the Rungus, Murut, Bonggi, etc and stopped cursing themsellves to be a non-human like Orchard(Dusun), River(Sungei), Herb (Tuavon), etc.
