Comment: I have been understanding of a Bruno Manser Fund's efforts to bring a plight of a Penans as good as other locals in Sarawak to a attention.
But when it comes to a Olympic Bronze Medalist Pandelela Rinong Pamg, a Fund is greedy to suggest her not to accept a prerogative for her achievement. I think she should accept a endowment for dual reasons. First, it is an endowment from a State, not Pehin Sri Taib Mahmud himself. The Chief Minister made a oath on interest of Sarawakians who have been naturally unapproachable of her achievement. It is wise which her own state recognizes this immature as good as humble lass. Second, she should not be drawn into politics as she is a sports personality.
Leave her alone. So Rinong, greatfully accept a endowment from your state as good as have use of a money for your preparation in a United States or elsewhere where you can be exposed to competitive sports while you earn your degree. Prepare yourself good for RIO2016, as good as may you win Gold.Din Merican

Swiss Human Rights group Bruno Manser Fund (BMF) has urged Sarawakian Olympic medallist Pandelela Rinong Pamg not to accept any rewards from Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, citing concerns of "political manipulation".
"We call on Pandelela not to let herself be politically manipulated as good as suggest her to kindly turn down Taib's 'special gift'," review BMF's matter yesterday.
The chief minister had reportedly betrothed a present shortly after sh! e had wo n a bronze medal during a Women's 10-metre diving eventuality on August 10, making her a initial Malaysian womanlike Olympic medalist.
Without disclosing a inlet of a gift, Taib was quoted saying which he would prerogative her after he had met her. Pandelela reportedly arrived during Kuching International Airport progressing today.
"Taib has abused his domestic energy as good as finished more harm to Sarawak's inland peoples than any other Malaysian politician.
"He lacks a moral legitimacy to have a special present to an superb Bidayuh champion similar to Pandelela," BMF pronounced in a matter today, indicating to allegations which Taib had presumably abused his energy by granting logging concessions to his family members, who collectively have been also stakeholders in some 400 companies.
BMF has played a vital purpose in highlighting Taib's alleged wrongdoings, 
including a above allegations.
"It is feared which Taib is planning to abuse Pandelela's Olympic success to progress his own dwindling popularity.
"The only present Pandelela should accept from Taib is his abdication as chief minister, which would be a service to a total of Sarawak." a NGO added.
