This was important so that they would be able to raise their living standard through development programmes being planned by the government, he said.

He also said Dayak leaders, especially those in the Batang Ai area should stop their political bickering as it would not bring any benefit to those under their charges.
More frutsrating, he added, the common people would be dragged into their squabbles and this would indirectly affect the development of their areas.
