LEARNING KADAZANDUSUN LANGUANGE THROUGH FACEBOOK

Below is my conversation with a long-lost classmate.  She wasn't that fluent in Dusun dialect when we're in school. But, now, from my own assessment, she has improved a lot and not many Kadazandusuns can beat her now. She can be a good "sparring partner" when comes to testing your ability in that language.

What does it mean to be Jesuit?

"It is to know that one is a sinner,

yet called to be a companion of Jesus,

as Ignatius was, who begged the Blessed

Virgin to place him with her Son,

and who then saw the Father Himself

ask Jesus, carrying His cross,

to take this pilgrim into his company…"

"It is to engage, under the standard of the cross,

in the crucial struggle of our time

the struggle for faith

and that struggle for justice

which it includes."

- from the 32nd General Congregation Decree on “Jesuits Today”

By

Allan G Dumbong

Auditor, Trainer & Consultant

ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, OSHAS 18001:2007, BS 25999 BCM

For two (2) days on 11-12 Aug 2009, a course on the implementation of the latest BSI Standard, BS25999 Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), was held at the Federal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. This is arguably the first of its kind ever conducted here in Malaysia.

The BSI’s “Implementing BS 25999” course provides participants with practical tools and methods of implementing business continuity management. This implementation course is based on industry best practice and the Business Continuity Management (BCM) Code of Practice BS 25999-1:2006 & the auditable Specification BS25999-2:2007, which were released by BSI. Practical exercises provide students with the opportunity to gain skills to introduce BCM into an organization. Students will return to their organizations with the knowledge of how to implement a business continuity management system based on BS 25999.

This course is suitable for those interested in the implementation of BS 25999, particularly those involved in developing, operating, and/or maintaining business continuity systems based on BS 25999.· It is also suitable for those professionals interested or involved with introducing BS 25999 into an organization.· Some who have started doing works as Business Continuity Managers, Business Managers or other Professionals involved with other management systems can also fit into the program well.· Or, the participants can simply be those required by their manager/organization to learn about implementation of a BCM.

The program outline of the BS 25999 Implementation covers:

• Introduction to BCM
  Elements of the BCM LifecycleBusiness Continuity Management Program
• Roles and Responsibilities required for a BCM program
• BCM Policy
• Documentation within a BCM
• Implementation and ongoing management of a BCM program
• Understanding the organization
• Determining BC Strategies
• Distinguish between a BC strategy and BCM plans
• Developing and implementing a BCM response
• Embedding BCM in organisation’s culture
• Awareness of BCM in an organization
• The registration Process

Actually, this course can be conducted all over Malaysia, either through public program or in-house. The training can be arranged that it is claimable under 100 HRDF SBL Scheme.

INDUSTRIALIZATION IN SABAH: EFFECT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

By Allan Dumbong

How do the industrial activitities in Sabah affect the surrounding environment? There are two ways, i.e. directly and indirectly.
(i)Direct
– Manufacturing burden
It can be through the consumption of energy and emissions to the environment.
– Concentration in the environment
Most materials will eventually end up in landfills
How about the toxicity for some materials

(ii)Indirect
– Pertinent to ask whether the performance of the finished products into which they are transformed. Are the products energy efficient and recyclability?


How can we help in mitigating the environmental impacts caused by industrialization?
•Human Behavior
We need to change our patterns of consuming goods.
•We need to be aware of the importance of wasting less goods in our daily activities.
•We need to change the society's rules in dealing with products and goods.
Perhaps we need to do dematerialization, reduce consumption.
• Get the same function from less material
– Materials substitution
• Apply less harmful materials
– Waste Mining – Reuse, Recycle
• Find ways to make use of streams currently wasted

CURRENT GLOBAL CONCERN

Current Issues of Concern
By Allan G Dumbong

• Global warming & climate change
• Ozone layer depletion
• Soil degradation and loss of wetlands & agricultural land
• Species extinction
• Concentration of toxics
• Depletion & degradation of resources

Yahoo..Valentino Rossi Victorius Again!

Yahoo..Valentino Rossi Victorius Again!

By Allan G Dumbong

I have been a very very big fan of VALENTINO ROSSI since he was a teenage rider in 125CC, then moved to 250cc, 500CC and now MotoGP. He is very talented, atruly Champion, and electrifying inspiring. His Bike No.46 has been a sacred number for him. He likes "46" but mine is "64". So, I guess, we share common idealism. Congratulations Rossi, and I hope to draw some inspiration from you in my own endeavour.

Faultless Rossi holds Lorenzo off for Sachsenring win
Sunday, 19 July 2009
Reigning World Champion denies Spanish upstart victory at Alice Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland. Sachsenring 2009

Valentino Rossi was never under any illusions that he would have it easy in his defense of the MotoGP world title, and once again the Italian was made to fight for glory at the Alice Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland. The Fiat Yamaha rider took the win at Sachsenring by just the smallest of margins from persistent rival Jorge Lorenzo in a breathtaking race to extend his lead in the World Championship.

After starting from pole for the first time at the German track, Rossi took the lead of the race after thirteen laps. Both the Italian and teammate Lorenzo eked out an advantage to make it a two-way battle to the chequered flag, with a last lap battle reminiscent of the Barcelona round of the series one month ago. Rossi’s definitive pass had come at the end of the home straight with two laps to go, and he brushed off the young pretender’s overtures for his fourth win of the 2009 season.

Starting from eighth on the grid, Dani Pedrosa had established his credentials in the dry with the best lap in the morning warmup. He had another storming start at Sachsenring to move up to the lead group, and put up a bold fight both amongst and behind the Yamaha duo. The Repsol Honda rider completed the podium with a race time under three seconds down on the top two.
Early leader Casey Stoner’s condition lasted longer than he had expected in the dry race, and he was able to mount a serious challenge for the win. With five laps to go, however, he was passed by Pedrosa going into the first turn, and one lap later a sit-up meant that he lost touch of the Spaniard.

Alex de Angelis and Toni Elías had a successful salvage operation for the San Carlo Honda Gresini team, placing fifth and sixth, respectively. Elías was particularly impressive, having started from last place.

The only retirees from the race were Randy de Puniet -who crashed on the opening lap- and Andrea Dovizioso. The latter fell victim to excessive front tyre wear and was forced to call it a day before the end of the 30-lap Grand Prix.

A WISE VIEW ON MALAYSIAN POLITICS

(Note: I received an article purportedly written by one wise man by the name of Datuk Dr Agoes Salim. I find it interesting but I have no way to verify the authenticity of it. Anyway it's re-produced here for our reflection.)

Datuk Dr Agoes Salim is an an economist and first secretary-general of the National Unity Ministry. He is also former chairman of Bank Pertanian. He was on the public service secretariat of the National Operations Council following the riots and helped draw up both the Rukun Negara and the NEP.

A Dominating role not healthy for nation,I THINK we are farther apart now than we were in 1969. But you have to remember that I grew up going to an English school, to a university where there were people of all races. At that time, although we did think in terms of race, it wasn’t in the way people do now. We felt that we were Malayans. We socialized much better than we do now.

Bahasa Malaysia can be a unifying factor. But it can be a factor separating people, too. As Sukarno would say, “The important thing is the jiwa.” You don’t have to have a common language, if you have the same jiwa (heart, spirit, passion, devotion). This is what we don’t have right now.

In 1956, the historical society of Universiti Malaya went to India. There were lots of Indians in the group, but they didn’t think of themselves as Indians, they thought of themselves as Malayans.
That’s the jiwa. But later on, because of certain reactions, suddenly people stayed away from this jiwa — they don’t feel as though they are fully Malaysian. They are made to feel that way.
When I was in the service, there were lots of non-Malays in the civil service, holding good positions. But do you see them now? If you go to the universities, where are the non-Malay professors? After 1969, suddenly there was this drive to make sure that all university vice-chancellors and faculty deans were Malay. So, in the end, we chased away all the best brains among the non-Malays.When schools say you must start school with a doa (Muslim prayer recitation), you push away all the non-Muslims. When I was at school, we never had any prayers. Whatever we learnt in religious class was a separate thing.

I think it’s more important that we bring people together, rather than pushing religion so hard that it alienates other people. This is what’s happening. I can’t blame the Chinese and Indians; why should they go to a sekolah kebangsaan (national school), when they have to do all these things?All the things are breaking down. Our school system is not as it used to be. We are producing supposedly so many students with so many As, but what do they know? Are we happy about it? The leaders seem to be happy about it.We came up with the Rukun Negara because, after 1969, there was the feeling that the nation was breaking down. People had forgotten what it was all about. So, we thought we could bring people back together — unite them. That’s what the first part of the Rukun Negara is about: the objectives of the nation.

Unfortunately, we did practically nothing to promote an understanding of the Rukun Negara. And when schools make mistakes, nobody corrects them. That should have been the role of the Department of Information.In the beginning, Tan Sri Ghazali Shafie did try to apply the test of whether something was in consonance with the Rukun Negara or not. But then, the government just forgot about this.We are supposed to be a united nation, not only in terms of state, but also in terms of people: that they would all consider themselves as Malaysians, and that this was their country and their nation. We wanted all these people to share the wealth of the nation.

One of the things we thought contributed to ’69 was the economic disparities, joblessness.The New Economic Policy was a policy for all Malaysians;not just for the Malays. But we wanted to restructure the economy so that the Malays would come out of the rural agriculture sector into the commercial sector.We wanted Malay participation at all levels of economic activity. We wanted to uplift the Malays without reducing the position of the others... — “eradicating poverty regardless of less”.And this was supposed to be in a situation of growth. Not just sharing the existing cake, but the cake must grow, so that these people also have the opportunity to grow. At the same time, we also hoped that the Malays would grow a little faster. So, they set this target of 30 per cent equity in 20 years. I was not much in favour of that because I didn’t think it was achievable. I felt that participation was more important than wealth.We never thought that we would produce multi-billionaires.That was never the intention of the NEP. If some people can come up as everyone comes up, it’s okay. But it wasn’t supposed to be about some people getting contracts.We did say that we should have Malay millionaires just as we should have Chinese and Indian millionaires, but not so much so that you don’t have to do anything.

You must differentiate between dominance and domination. As Tun Dr Ismail said, “We want to be dominant, but we don’t want to dominate.” Dominant in the sense that we wanted the Malays to be everywhere; but not to dominate all the others. But we seem to be dominating; and I don’t think that’s healthy for the nation. It’s not about taking your share and not caring about the rest.

TELEMOVIE KADAZANDUSUN "BAMBAAZON" DI TV2 29 MEI 2009 @ 12.30 T/HARI

Ahirnya, dengan kesungguhan team produksi dan penerbit serta para pelakon, sebuah syarikat tempatan Sabah, IMMORTELLE CREATIVE SDN BHD telah berjaya menerbitkan sebuah telemovie yang mana 80% penggunaan bahasanya adalah dalam Bahasa KadazanDusun yang bertajuk ‘BAMBAZON’ yang diarahkan oleh Nurhalim Hj. Ismail yang berasal dari Kuala Lumpur selain menjadi penulis skrip bagi telemovie ini.

Telemovie ini berkisar tentang dilema seorang gadis, Ivy (LINDA NANUWIL) yang telah dipilih untuk menjadi seorang unduk ngadau bagi memenuhi kehendak masyarakat dan adat resam yang diamalkan sejak turun temurun oleh masyarakat Kadazandusun. Namun pada zaman moden ini, Ivy, yang juga sedang mengikuti pengajian di universiti merasakan bahawa ianya sudah tidak relevan lagi memandangkan Ivy berkeinginan untuk keluar dari kepompong adat resam yang baginya tidak dapat memajukan dirinya dan masyarakat sesuku.

Dengan masa yang sama, Ivy juga terlibat dengan cinta 3 segi antara Aggidau (FELIX AGUS) yang sekampug dengannya dan Doi (EBI KORNELIS), anak ahli korporat yang sepengajiannya dengannya di universiti. Adakah Ivy tetap akan berpegang kepada prinsipnya atau pun kembali kepada adapt resamnya? Apakah kesudahan cinta 3 segi yang terjadi antara mereka? Sempena Pesta Kaamatan 2009, saksikanlah kesudahannya di saluran RTM 2 pada 29 Mei 2009 (Jumaat) pada pukul 12.30 tengahari. Sebarang komen amatlah dialu-alukan.

PERANAN BOBOHIZAN DLM UPACARA "PAPASAAKOI BAMBAAZON" MASYARAKAT KADAZANDUSUN PAPAR

Oleh:
MONICA GUALIN
DPA, UiTM, BiM (Hons) OUM


Bobohizan merupakan gelaran bagi bomoh wanita dalam tradisi kebudayaan Kadazandusun. Bobohizan memain peranan penting dalam perayaan Tadau Kaamatan bagi upacara penyembahan di tapak tanaman untuk memastikan hasil tanaman bertambah pada tahun-tahun akan datang. Bobohizan pertama dipercayai diajar oleh jelmaan semangat Huminodun, iaitu Unduk Ngadau, dan jampi serapah itu diamalkan sehingga sekarang.

Bagi masyarakat etnik Kadazandusun Papar upacara ini dipanggil “Papasaakoi Bambazon”. Menurut kepercayaan masyarakat ini, mereka melakukan upacara ini supaya tanaman padi mereka beroleh hasil yang lumayan.

Menurut En. Fedelis @ Mole Gimbul, berumur 82 tahun dan mantan Ketua Kampung Penampang Baru, Papar upacara ini mereka lakukan bermula dari penanaman padi (“Mubuu’at”).

“Mubuu’at” adalah proses permulaan penanaman padi samaada padi di sawah mahupun di bukit. Sebelum “Mubuu’at” di lakukan, Bobohizan akan berkomunikasi dengan semangat padi dengan mengucapkan “rinait” untuk membolekan benih padi yang akan ditanam sentiasa subur sehinggalah padi tersebut menghasilkan buah. Bobohizan akan membuat 7 lubang lalu menanam benih padi sebagai “Ponimpuu’nan”. Sementara menunggu benih padi tersebut bercambah dan sedia untuk ditanam di sawah maka kerja-kerja pembajakan sawah akan dilakukan oleh semua petani. Satu upacara akan dilakukan di sawah oleh Bobohizan di mana Bobohizan akan mengambil tanah di tepi sawah lalu dibawa balik ke rumah dan akan dibungkus dengan kain hitam. Menurut kepercayaan masyarakat ini dengan berbuat demikian tanah yang dibajak akan sentiasa subur untuk menghasilkan padi.

Sesudah padi tersebut sedia untuk berbuah, yang masyarakat di sini namakan sebagai padi bunting, satu lagi upacara akan dilakukan di tengah-tengah sawah yang mereka namakan sebagai “Monsuu’ung” . Upacara ini akan dibuat oleh berberapa orang Bobohizan sambil mengucapkan mentera di sekeliling hidangan dipanggil “Tabu” .

Bahan-bahan “Tabu” yang wajib dihidangkan adalah seperti;
i) “Hiniopot” (nasi yang di bungkus dengan daun tarap)
ii) Ayam jantan
iii) “Sinakapu” (Tapak sirih-kapur yang lengkap)
iv) Tebu
v) Halia merah
vi) Tapai
vii) Telur
viii) Beras
Mereka percaya bahawa dengan menghidangkan pelbagai bahan “Tabu” seperti yang dinyatakan di atas maka semua makluk perosak tidak akan mengganggu tanaman padi mereka sehinggalah padi tersebut masak dan sedia untuk dituai.

Sesudah padi masak dan sedia untuk di tuai sekali lagi Bobohizan akan turun ke sawah untuk mengucapkan “rinait” sebelum upacara “Mengomot” dijalankan. Bobohizan akan mengambil 7 tangkai padi yang berisi dan 7 tangkai padi yang tidak berisi. Pada masa yang sama Bobohizan akan mengambil bambu untuk membuat “Bombon”. “Bombon” akan dibuat secara bersilang dan akan diikatkan di rumpun padi. Rumpun padi yang telah diikat tidak boleh diganggu oleh sesiapapun sehinggalah semua padi selesai dituai. Tujuh tangkai padi yang berisi tadi akan dioles dengan minyak kelapa lalu dibawa pulang ke rumah untuk diletakkan di atas “angkob”, tempat menyimpan padi.

Bermula dari awal proses “Mubuu’at” sehinggalah ke acara “Mengomot” kita melihat bagaimana bobohizan berperanan penting dalam berkomunikasi dengan semangat padi. Dengan adanya bacaan-bacaan “rinait” yang mereka ungkapkan maka tidak hairanlah bagaimana nenek moyang kita dapat menghasilkan padi yang banyak tanpa sebarang gangguan daripada makluk perosak.
