“Our life depends on the jungle for food, building materials, medicines, and our culture and values are based on harmony with the jungle. ” — John Brian Anthony, President of BPA, Sarawak, Malaysia

Hello, my name is John Brian Anthony, speaking from the Bintalu region of Malaysia. I am of the Dayak Iban tribe, in Sarawak, Borneo. Our ancestors lived in the Borneo jungle, our life dependes on the jungle, for food, building materials, medicines and our culture and values are based on harmony with the jungle. Government and business should be careful with the jungle, to ensure that we are all in harmony with the will of the Creator.
