Rungus.com, masih boleh dimiliki (buat masa sekarang lah)
July 19th, 2007
Hari ini saya saja mencuba untuk melihat sama ada Rungus.com sudah dimiliki oleh sesiapa. Agak memeranjatkan juga kerana ianya belum dimiliki oleh sesiapa. Tetapi lagi memeranjatkan saya, ‘Rungus.co.uk’ sudah dimiliki. Adakah mereka yang membeli nama ‘Rungus.co.uk’ ini orang Sabah? Rasanya bukan, melainkan ada maksud lain bagi perkataan ‘Rungus’ bagi orang Eropah dari UK?
Jadi…ada sesiapa yang ingin menjadi pemilik rungus.com hari ini?

Hi Guys,
I’m not familiar with this kind of thing but I would like to suggest to everyone..who ever interested to start our own Rungus club. As per my survey and my experience our community was left behind the technology and information. If we go to other country and even our neighbour Sarawak the people very inside the Baram river (not accessable by road) are still able to improved their life and financially through plantation. The even staying in big house 100 X 100 inside the jungle and surprising it was exactly build with good material. But our community, we still see many of us still stay in small wooden house with the nipah roof. This what we need to change. I would strongly participate if someone can support me on this. Why don’t we have this club and we can educate our community to improved our community life and especially education part. We still far behind on this. For those educated kindly particpate so we can protect our own race from being step by other. I can see Rungus Land in Sabah being sale to outsider and even being robe from us without our knowledge. I know some of us very selfish not to bother about this thing but please think about our next generation. Would we still want to be like this next 100 years. By this time it’s too late to change because everything was taken from us already. I’m calling who ever success and educated please help Rungus to grow. Don’t we happy if we hear Rungus is great community in next 10 years.

hmmm…:shock:
Perhaps some mirror will correct your point of view.Doesn’t speak our own bahasa doenst mean we forget our bangsa. u speak in rungus but u ask us to follow the Barams’s ppl, the Chinese, and pomogunan urang putih…bla bla.. y not u ask the rungusian to follow the bugis footstep or even the kadazan. At least it nearer. Like u not really confident rungusian can have the own unique way to grow as BIG community.cewah,my apology to you..Si kay mb not speak rungus but he rungus by heart.By the way I want correct u one thing the Baram sana, wat you see is special case, not all of them r like dat.rite..n those ulun semenanjung say, u fire the racist feeling baby..anywy org sjung mmg kasar kan.but ist rite to cop dorg soma sama..generally they kasar compare to sabahan. This part I confuse..what your opinian kastum family?..
One thing I want to share, correct me if im wrong, the malay achestors is from hainan, rungusian they say look like the khmer tribal in Cambodia (or mb Thailand) isn’t that say we are close to Chinese blood…peace

Flora Modungit said,
September 29, 2008 @ 3:09 am
One of the reason. I don’t compare our self with Kadazan because they are local like us, we are in the same boat. We should compare our self with Chinese and I believe Kudat has Chinese community too. They basically came to our lovely land and take what ever we have than now they are deffinetly having a better life where they started from zero. We always think inside the box this is Rungus and we can never accept our weaknesses. I’m comparing our community with Morek itself one of the most minority population is Baram I’m not sure the number of them but basically they are about or only 52 house exist I counted my self because they are still staying in rumah panjang so called but it actually 2 story terrace house and sharing garage. I’m not talking nonsense or making my own Statement (I’m married to this community). So basically I’m leaving with this people and the way they think is very different from us. Back to the 52 house if this community perhaps we use basic calculator they are deffinetly less then our race. But all of them are having better life then what I see in the place I grow. Rungus still one of community so called by Jabatan Perangkaan “Antara Penduduk Termiskin di Malaysia” especially “Pitas” area. This is government statement don’t blame me. So based on my survey this small community “Morek” I mean. Education are the most important point in their parents mind. And even they are not educated they will trying their best to survive they are applying the therory of Darwin “Survival of the fittest”. So this I guess the reason why we having the same job and occupation but we having different life condition. Let compare what my grand parent do and my father in law do. My grand parents until the day he passed away he has land but the land still inside the jungle and they have orchard with non commersial plants eg. Nizu, rambutan, punti, mangga and tarap of course and this is not my own statement check out your kampung they should having the same like what we have. And they still staying in old wooden house because they have no money to build better house. Let see what my father in law do to his land which is about the same age with my grand father. His piece of land being plant by Durian and black papper is one of their favourte and a little bit of what we has too. Durian I guess everyone know this is the most expensive fruit in Malaysia and black papper is one of the world commodity. We don’t talk about their kids first this all the aboved 60 years old people. My parent in law is coming to 80 this years by planting durian only he has no black papper because the land is limited. He still can send my husband to university and build his house piece by piece until it as big as triple size of the Kudat Taman Orkid single story house. Can you imagine what they have if they plant durian and black papper? And one more this village has no transportaion option all via river no tar road like our kampung. Why we still like this? You should have the answer. I’m Rungus and I know how they think. When other people are successfull we start envy/jealous and some unsivilised people will sent that successfull person so called sindaat and we refuse to change. And this Morek community do not have sindaat in their community. If they found what you do can improved their life they will follow. So my point here is let changed our mind and tell your neighbour please educate your kids properly and not moginum every day. This will make a different. Let me know if you want to know how Morek kids grow and what most of them doing now. This is also verrrrrrry interesting will tell you how far is their mind.

im not in favour of any races..what i concern rungusian is not
have much originality to stand as strong community, as we always compare ours to others, such as barammm(just an example..)…we doesnt have strong leaders or
even if we have the educated ppl there will be blameful of what
they have in their early day..american doesnt like to be compared with british for example..
kay you prefer obama or mc cain..
Flora Modungit said,
October 1, 2008 @ 12:34 am
Both have their own strength. I prefer Obama. When I say about 52 houses it’s all about Morek..if we do percentage calculation it’s more than 50% of them is successfull. Do you believe if I say I ever known this people which is only pass form 3 but he is earning about 10K a month just doing welding job and I ever seen their people which is a multi millionaire. This is how successfull this community. Even they are minority but they able to deveoped their community. But if we count Rungus I believe the number is not really outstanding. I never meet this community work in night club as a waiter or even GRO. But our Rungus if you go to most of KL night club you can see most of them are Sabahan and they are normally Kadazan, Rungus, Dusun or etc..but basically they are Sabahan or Kelantanese either. Why? There should be something hidden behind which is I don’t know why. I have no idea why, when our people came over to west malaysia they will do all this kind of job GRO, prostitution and for man they normally work in coffee shop as a waiter. This is very common job for Sabahan and another one (minah and mat kilang but this still not no bad I’m ok with it). I’m very sad when I get to know this but it was true.
I did do analysis last few round to few bank and company which is normally giving credit installment to customer. You know what I found 90% of the Sabahan applicant their application will be decline or need guarantor. You know why because they have no trust on them due to they normally has no propery job. Sad to hear that but that was fact.
About changes to my family…yes I did do the changes to my relative mind set. All my cousin whis is sibling to my father has follow my foot step. Most of them the younger generation has go to university even their parents is poor. I’m proud to be the 1st. I do believe education will changed everything. If it does not give us a good pay or good job but it confirm will changed the way they think and analyse something.
I understand some people do not like to be compared but we need to look into our weaknesses too and perhaps we need to do something on it so we can have better judgement in future. One more things I notice about Sabahan people they have the tendensy to have more than one wife in thir life. Either they divorce and re-married or they keep one illegally. Why? It’s because of the culture perhaps. Even some people I get to know work with governmnt sector with the salary below 2K they still can flirt. OMG!! One of the reason why I did not choose Rungus.
I do suggest who ever Sabahan go to West Malaysia you guys try to visit any of the Night Club and tell me was the GRO is Sabahan? And let me bring you nearer to Kudat itself who is the Club worker it Rungus girls. Why? No idea dude. Ask them why?

Flora Modungit said,
October 1, 2008 @ 12:45 am
Read this aricles this is our “description” by White Man/Orang Putih
ALTERNATIVE NAMES
Rungus are also known as Rungus Momogun.
LOCATION
The Rungus are found on the island of Borneo just north
of the equator. They inhabit the Kudat Division of the
State of Sabah, Malaysia. They are found on two peninsulas,
the Kudat Peninsula and the Melobong Peninsula.
The data in this article refer to the Rungus of the Kudat
Peninsula. A range of hills stretch down the length of the
peninsula, and small, short, and unnavigable streams run
down the hillsides into the ocean on either side of the
peninsula. The primary forest on the peninsula is a monsoon
tropical forest, but it has been largely replaced
through cultivation by secondary forest.
CULTURAL OVERVIEW
The ethnographic present of 1959–63 is used in this
description. At that time the Rungus still carried on their
traditional cultural ecology under the political control of
the British colonial administration. The Rungus village is
the major political unit. It has residual rights over its land
in which only resident members may cultivate swiddens.
The village area encompasses the drainage pattern of one
of the small streams that drain from the spine of the
peninsula of their territory. A village may consist of
one or more longhouse hamlets. It is not a kinship unit.
Membership can be granted to families with no kin
resident in the village. The major social unit in terms of
economy and religion is the domestic family inhabiting a
longhouse apartment which it constructs and owns. The
domestic family ideally, and most frequently, consists of
a husband, his wife, and their children. Parents of the
married couple may join when they are no longer able
to carry on their swidden activities. Marriage requires
a brideprice of brassware, gongs, and jars. After marriage
a husband lives in the apartment of his wife’s family until
the following agricultural year when he builds their own
apartment onto the longhouse. The domestic family cuts
a swidden each year in secondary forest, planting rice,
maize, cassava, and a variety of vegetables and other
economically useful plants. On removing the last of the
produce from the swidden the area reverts to the village
reserve for any other family to use. Animal protein and
fat is provided through the sacrifices of pigs and chickens
to various spirits that cause illness and by hunting and
fishing. The family also plants and owns a number of fruit
trees. Agricultural surplus is invested in gongs, jars,
and various types of brassware. These are inherited
individually by children of the family.
There are three social classes based solely on economics:
wealthy, middle class, and poor. Prior to British
colonization, there was a slave class that was primarily
based on debt slavery.
Along the coast of the peninsula are a number of
coastal Muslim villages, with whom the Rungus trade
agricultural surpluses for fish, brassware, gongs, headcloths,
and other items of native weaving. Intervillage
disputes that cannot be resolved are taken to the leaders
of these villages for mediation.
CULTURAL CONSTRUCTION OF GENDER
Gender categories include only male and female. Women
wear skirts and sarongs. Men wear loose-fitting trousers,
a shirt, and a headcloth. Women working in the fields will
put on shirts over their sarongs. Women wear their hair
knotted on the back of their head and cut out a small
fringe of forehead hair so that it frames it. Boys and
married men without children wear their hair knotted at
the base of the head. Women wear earrings, brasswire coil
from ankle to knee, coiled arm brass, and a girdle of fine
brasswire interspersed with beads under their sarongs;
some wear coiled brass around the neck. Girls start wearing
earrings at an early age, and wearing of coiled brass
represents the girl becoming of marriageable age

Ino Momu- Neither one. Can’t understand those US election stuff….
Flora Modungit- It’s nice to know that at least some of our Rungus people have managed to achieve a better life by not choosing another Rungus..?? Anyway in my humble opinion, different people have different perspective to measure success instead of just how much they earn on a monthly basis.
Some folks may look at success as being able to spend quality time with family, doing something that they believe in such as community or charity course, music etc.
You seemed to be giving a message that folks who works in the F&B establishments like entertainment clubs or coffee shops are somewhat people with a not-so-respectful-job..?? (Have you noticed that some politicians are an example of a Bad example?)
I’ve been living in Kuala Lumpur for over ten years and I do meet Sabahan’s working in the Hotel Industries, F&B, Clubs etc. But so are the Malays, Chinese, Indians and other foreign nationals like Myanmars, Bangladeshi’s and so forth.
Having said that, I also have families and have met Sabahan’s (Rungus included) who are doctors, lawyers, company owners, managers, CEO’s…. but that’s besides the point.
End of the day, I personally am proud of my roots. I have to disagree with your statement saying that “..what i concern rungusian is not have much originality to stand as strong community“. The culture, the way of life, our traditional costumes, the long houses and the community are the essence that makes our identity. It’s unique and I do hope in the future when people mentioned the word ‘Rungus’, it will still be associated as one of Sabah’s unique race and culture instead of a tribe who are all well educated with PHD’s and having a salary of more than Rm10,000 per month…
Well we all have opinions. It’s great to know everyone here possess an open mind.

October 3, 2008 @ 11:40 am
itulah sa bilang madam barams doesnt understand..my opinion
is same with kay.ada juga rungus yang well developed.so dont compare with barams’ ppl just becoz u married to one. statistically mean 52 pcs of fact is not enough prove to say a WHOLE of barams people are smarter or much resourceful than rungus. contohnya 100000 ribu barams people all over the state and proven 80000 ribu are success than its PROVEN barams ppl are civilized (or politically correct smarter or resourceful.that what i mean statistically proven otherwise its your statement is just your humble opinion perharps.
kay u touch me with your statement..”it will still be associated as one of Sabah’s unique race and culture instead of a tribe who are all well educated with PHD’s and having a salary of more than Rm10,000 per month”.itu sebab sa mo tingal di bawah rumah bumbung nipah”..just kidding bro..
what i mean doest have much originality- maybe my statement is quite too intellectual and go beyond the reach of our society( i mean for now).. i sincerely apologize for this.
what i mean is those intellectual,corporate rungusian all over the state never go back or implement something to their society. jadi gap between ppl who have orchard inside the jungle and those university educated married to non-rungus and corporates and intelletuals is so far..kita tidak akan maju jika hanya satu dua yang success..have negative thinking lagi sama bangsa sendiri..be original proud of what you are, your roots and positive thinking

Let don’t arque about all this:
My Objective here is “Implement a Rungus Club and this club will be a reference to everyone on latest technology and opportunity to developed our community both social and economic” Perhaps you guys saying my ambitions is too huge but this is what I want to see in next 30 years if I still alive if we don’t start from now Rungus will disappear on that next 30 years. We will not be able to get it back one it gone. So basically what I want is I need buddy to have the same thinking and same objective.
How to achieve that:
1. To educate our people especially youngster to involved in commercial plantation or any valuable industry. [Instead of doing all those unpractical work eg. GRO, Waiter - let other race do this job dude but exclude Rungus ]
2. To educate our people how important is education is. [If this successful this will make a different in next 20 years]
3. To educate our people on how important to inherit and keep our culture. [This will tell other that we are original and not the duplicate of either any other races, if you guys notice our culture now is getting dull if you notice our younger generation is now lake of this knowledge sorry if I hurt anyone many youngster now not even know how to speak our language what else the tradition don’t talk about how to make saging, tikam, rolibu, raza, monurip, mengukir using pais or having the real long house is too far.]
4. To educate our let protect our land. It’s being taken from us if you guys notice. [If we don’t protect our land some of our people will have no place some day, see Singapore no way for them to buy a land, it will be happened to us someday once all the land is gone we can see some of our relative or our kids maybe became bagger in our own land]
5. To educate our people to take good care on their family and relative. [I mean reduce the number of divorce family this will made a different to our social life and perhaps we can have less social problem]
6. This one will be sound cruel but I do not agreed with the system berian being abused by parent. [This cause a lot social problem. Some people they sound like selling their daughter asking for berian 10K, 20K and etc. [When the couple has no money to full fill the parents requirement they cannot get married and end up kahwin lari or registed married without any parents concern or they perhaps looking for rich man and become second wife and some of the those very brave will “ok..just have a kids without getting married”.]
7. To educate all educated and super educated to be humble. [I found out many of our educated people are very common to “talk big”. I still remember when I still in form 5, I happen know a “Rungus Lawyer” so called. When I greet him “nunu habal?” he seem like did not notice me even he saw me trying to shake his hand. Sorry if the person are reading this articles and sorry to tell you that I don’t like this kind of character. We still eating the same things dude and even you still go to the same graveyard as me. You not going to be buried and wrapped with your DEGREE or your PHD. No harm to be humble for me.
Let me know if you guys feel I’m talking nonsense.
