Community Hopes
Through this protocol, we hope that this traditional practice will
continue. We believe that as long as we have our resources, this practice
will continue. We also hope the community, especially the younger
generation, village leaders including also elected representatives in the
State assembly and Parliament will give their full support to this practice.
Furthermore, we hope government agencies such as the Forestry
Department, Wildlife Department, Agriculture Department, Environmental
Protection Department and Health Department as well as NGOs and
companies will support our aspirations.
We also very much hope that this traditional practice can be
passed down to the younger generation as well as future generations. We
are confident that with this practice, our resources will be maintained and
we will have a source of income, specifically in socio-economy. This can
give job opportunities to youths that return to the village and at the same
time give them pride in their identity as Murut Tahol.
