  • My Prayer for My Christian Friend on Islamic New Year's
    My Prayer For My Christian Friend on Islamic New Year’s Day - Nigar Friday, 21st August, 2020. It was the first day of the month of Muharram—New Year’s Day according to the Islamic calendar. I received greetings on the occasion from some Muslim friends. One of these, sent by an elderly person, seemed the best. It said something like this: “Happy Islamic New Year. Let us bring in the new year with prayers that Allah ends the coronavirus.” I endorsed this suggestion with an “Ameen”. With much of humankind presently living in fear of the virus and their lives being majorly affected by it, this suggestion seemed most apt. It made me feel upbeat, and I stored this message in my heart. Later that day, my friend Dolcy received a call from a friend of his—let me call him ‘Vick’— who lives in another city. Vick is a Christian priest. One of his passions is to promote understanding and meaningful, positive interaction between people from different religious backgrounds. Dolcy and Vick often speak with each other on the phone. Sometimes, I also chat a bit with Vick. Just some days ago when I spoke with Vick, he had mentioned the recipe of a herbal drink to build immunity in the hope of keeping the coronavirus at bay. He told me that he had the drink every day, after supper. Vick lives in a well-protected campus. I assumed that he did not have to face many physical challenges. He did not need to go out every day to earn a living.

  • Gawai Dayak Festival
    GAWAI DAYAK FESTIVAL The Gawai Dayak festival is celebrated yearly on 1 June in Sarawak, is both a religious and social festival. Gawaj means ritual or festival and Dayak is a collective name for the tribes of Iban, Bidayuh, Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit, Murut and more. Tracing its roots back to as early as 1957, the Gawai Dayak festival was formally gazetted on 25 September, 1964 as a public holiday in place of Sarawak Day. The first official celebration being on 1 June, 1965, Gawai Dayak became a symbol of unity, aspiration and hope for the Dayak community and is an integral part of Dayak social life today. Preparations for the festival begin early with brewing of tuak (rice wine) and traditional delicacies like penganan (cakes from rice flour, sugar and coconut milk). On Gawai eve, glutinous rice is roasted in bamboo known as ngelulun pulut. The celebration starts on the evening of 31 May with a ceremony called Muai Antu Rua (to cast away the spirit of greediness), signifying the non- interference of the spirit of bad luck in the celebrations. Two children or men each dragging a chapan (winnowing basket) will pass each family’s room in the Iban longhouse with each family throwing unwanted articles into the basket. The unwanted articles are then tossed to the ground from the end of the longhouse for the spirit of bad luck. Around 6pm, the offering ceremony known as miring will take place, with ritual music; gendang rayah being performed beforehand. The feast chief will thank the gods for the good harvest, ask for guidance, blessings and long life as he sacrifices a cockerel.

  • 2020-2021 Calendar of Religious Holidays, Festivals, And
    2020-2021 Calendar of Religious Holidays, Festivals, and Observances for the RISD Community The Religious Practices Advisory Committee developed this calendar as an informational guide for RISD teachers and administrators. It is based on information obtained from committee members and religious leaders in our community about holy days, religious holidays, or other observances they consider to be widely recognized, and on which students of the respective faiths might be absent from school. Teachers and administrators should refer to the calendar when planning major tests and other curricular, extracurricular and special activities, and be sensitive to anticipated student absences or other needs for observances on these dates. Of course, not all dates on which individual students may be absent for religious observances are included on this calendar. Teachers and administrators will consider student absences for religious observances on an individual basis. Parents are urged to discuss with the teacher or principal in advance any particular needs of their students for religious observances. Student absences for religious observances are recorded as “R” days.

  • Ethnic Awareness and Development
    Ethnic Awareness and Development A Study of the Kadazan Dusun, Sabah, Malaysia International Relations, Advanced course I: Honours thesis (MFS-report) Author: Björn Åsgård Supervisors: Maria Stern and Prof. Mohd Yusof Kasim Autumn 2002 02-10-29 Göteborg Abstract This study is concerned with the Kadazan Dusun (KD) - an indigenous people of Sabah, East Malaysia. Its starting point is the revival of the KD identity that has been seen since the early 1980s. The study aims to explore this increased ethnic awareness among the KD in the perspective of the economic development in Sabah and Malaysia. It is primarily based on a number of longer interviews conducted with representatives of the KD population during a field visit to Sabah in May and June of 2002. During the interviews, the aim was to explore what the respondents viewed as essential for the KD identity, how they related to the process of economic development and also how they situated themselves in Malaysia and the world. The analysis of the responses has been influenced by Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Some possible points of contact could be found between ethnic awareness and development, especially in relation to agriculture, which is still the main means of livelihood for the KD and an important part of their identity. The rapid changes in economic structure that have taken place since independence were sometimes seen by the respondents as a threat to their economic well-being, but also to social values. While they were not hostile to development and modernisation, there seemed to be a feeling that it was being imposed from the outside and did not connect with the tradition of the KD.
