Women Lead Climate Resilience Through WPS Agenda

ASEAN's Women, Peace and Security agenda recognises women as leaders in climate adaptation and disaster risk management. Yet progress remains uneven. Regional plans are strong, but local women still need money, data and decision-making power to build truly safer communities.

Fair Growth Reaches Everyone, Not Just Cities

Fair development means investing in neglected rural areas so people can access basic roads, water, electricity, jobs, land profits, banking, and digital services. It aims to reduce poverty and narrow the city-village gap, while admitting delays and still unfinished work.

Layman Wants Real Answers, Not Viral Delays

Real accountability means complaints trigger binding deadlines, compensation, alerts, and public reports. Until agencies face real penalties and whistleblowers still stay protected, viral outrage will keep replacing ordinary service. The layman wants working systems, not only temporary appeasement after embarrassment.

Warisan Tenun Pua Kumbu

Pua kumbu sememangnya tenunan yang indah, namun mempunyai tradisi dan pantang larangnya tersendiri dari tenunan sehingga cara pemakaiannya atau untuk ritual penyembuhan penyakit.

Menenun pua kumbu, Puan Suzy Imbah anak Marudin berasal daripada Tawau, Ulu Baleh Kapit, mula belajar menenun sejak beliau berumur 12 tahun daripada nenek beliau.

Menenun pua kumbu mempunyai tata tertibnya tersendiri, menurut beliau, sebelum memulakan tenunan corak utama seperti buah rang jugah, buah merinjang, buah keleku dan buah baya berangal, mereka perlu mengadakan sesi ‘berpiring’.

Sebanyak lapan (8) helai pua kumbu adalah jualan pertama Puan Suzy Imbah yang dibeli oleh Pejabat Tanah dan Survei Kapit.

Tambah Puan Suzy, pada ketika itu beliau hanya mencuba sahaja menjual kepada pegawai yang beliau temui di pejabat dan bertanya sekiranya mereka berminat hendak membeli pua kumbu yang dijual pada harga RM15 ketika itu.

Jualan pertama ini menjadi pembuka peluang seterusnya kepada beliau apabila pihak Pejabat Tanah dan Survei Kapit telah mengesyorkan kepada pihak Majlis Kraf Sarawak tentang hasil kerja beliau.

Penjualan pua kumbu ini mampu membantu kos sara hidupnya walaupun pendapatan hanya bergantung kepada hasil jualan yang tidak tetap.

Hasil produk beliau berasaskan pua pumbu sebagai dompet

Untuk menghasilkan pua kumbu ini memerlukan kesabaran yang tinggi dan perlu duduk dalam tempoh jangka masa yang lama untuk menghasilkan pua kumbu yang berkualiti.

Harapan Puan Suzy pada masa akan datang adalah untuk belajar lebih lagi untuk memperkembangkan perniagaannya dan mempelajari teknik yang sempurna untuk menghasilkan produk kasut daripada Pua Kumbu.
