Dennis Along, PKR Baram Communications Director
*Social Media Slander Targets Roland Engan’s Efforts to Resolve Baram Logging Dispute*
Yesterday, Dennis, Roland Engan and Nick Kelesau and Baram PKR members filed a police report against a Tik Tok account called "Malu Apa BossKu" which actively went viral with 2 tiktok videos related to Roland Engan, Sarawak PKR Chairman who was allegedly carrying several individuals and being abusive towards a driver a four-wheel drive car believed to be an employee of a logging company operating in Ba Data Bila- the Penan people's forest reserve.
Commenting on the text in the video mentions why Roland Engan, Sarawak PKR chairman, is acting like a thug, leading some individuals to act aggressively against the driver of a car. Another shows Roland Engan being insulted and scolded by a Penan for being involved in a logging dispute in the Ba Data Bila area. This is all slander - said Dennis. The tiktok video has been edited and tries to show Roland as an uncivilized and immoral party. In fact, it was the parties involved who acted rudely and some individuals with Roland tried to defend themselves. Dennis denounced the parties involved for being afraid to post the full/real video. Police investigation showed that the owner of the account was in Singapore. The police and MCMC are actively investigating. Roland went to Ba Data Bila at the invitation of the Penan people to resolve a case of dispute, a group of Penan people wanted logging and another group opposed. As a result of Roland's involvement - a total of 13 people involved in illegal logging have been arrested by the police as a result of an integrated operation with the forest department. Dennis concluded that the slanderous attack against Roland was because this party was depressed and unable to argue face to face. This shows that Roland's efforts to help the Penans have been effective and able to unite the Penans against illegal logging in Baram.
