Coconut Trees that Bear Jerry Cans (English Subtitle)
Posted: Dec 20, 2011 by papuanvoicesmerauke with 0 comments

The Malind tribe in Merauke is proud of its ecological traditions - each clan in the tribe is responsible for protecting a natural element. The Moiwend clan is responsible for the coconut trees and fruit. However, in recent times Malind youth have started using coconuts to make alcohol. The home-made drinks – which are much cheaper to buy than beer and spirits - have added to the town's problems.

Upper Bengoh Under Water highlights the plight of four villages that will soon be submerged under water by the Bengoh Dam in Sarawak, Malaysia. These villagers will have to leave their homes, farmland and orchards - and yet, during the recent State Elections, they did not voice their objections at the ballot box against the government's resettlement plans. We take Bengoh as a case study to find out why rural Sarawak in general did not vote against the ruling coalition. Read more…
