According to Dennis, there is a tendency to appoint headman according to the political tastes and wishes of YB in an area. For example, the headman who supports GPS will be appointed and the extension of the position/retention of the position will be supported by YB. But any individual who does not support the GPS party will not be appointed as headman. There was also a change of headman because the existing headman did not support logging or oil palm plantation. So a new headman was appointed to support logging and commercial palm oil plantation activities.
This situation has happened in several areas in Baram - according to Dennis. The tendency to appoint headman with political motives to facilitate the victory of GPS in Sarawak. But the effect of this Action damaged the harmony of society. Dennis suggested that a standard method be drafted for the appointment of the headman and that the appointed headman should not attempt to distance himself from politics and defend the rights of the village people from being encroached upon.
