本研究解释了 "tungkus asi "在 2021 年沙捞越州选举(SSE21)中加强峇当艾执政党政治权力的作用。"Tungkus asi "是伊班人在基层实施的赞助政治的地方变体之一。在 2016 年沙捞越州选举中,"tungkus asi "在沙捞越加蓬党(Gabungan Parti Sarawak,GPS)候选人赢得选举中发挥了作用。在 21 世纪砂拉越州选举中,"tungkus asi "再次推动砂拉越加蓬党候选人获胜,从而巩固了执政党在峇当艾的地位。本文探讨了 "tungkus asi "是如何实施的,以及它对伊班人对候选人选举支持的影响。本文基于在巴丹艾进行的一项研究,其中包括对选民和 "tuai rumah "的观察和访谈。研究发现,"tungkus asi "在激发选民支持方面继续发挥着重要作用。在现代政治时代,"Tungkus asi "仍然具有现实意义,因为它已成为基层伊班人政治进程和选举的重要组成部分。"Tungkus asi "不仅巩固了全球定位系统的政治权力,而且其做法还有助于研究人员和观察家了解伊班选民中的赞助政治。
Tungkus Asi Sebagai Variasi Lokal Politik Penaungan di Batang Ai Semasa Pilihan Raya Negeri Sarawak 2021
This study explains the role of “tungkus asi” in strengthening the ruling party’s political power during the 2021 Sarawak State Election (SSE21) in Batang Ai. “Tungkus asi” is one of the local variations of patronage politics practised by the Iban at the grassroots level. During the 2016 Sarawak State Election “tungkus asi” played a role in the electoral victory of the candidate from Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). In the SSE21, “tungkus asi” once again propelled the candidate from GPS to victory and thus strengthening the ruling party’s position in Batang Ai. This article looks at how “tungkus asi” was practised and its influence on the electoral support of the Iban towards the candidates. This article was based on a study conducted in Batang Ai which involved observation and interviews with the voters and “tuai rumah”. The study found that “tungkus asi” continued to play a prominent role in galvanising support from the voters. “Tungkus asi” remains relevant in the modern political era as it has become part and parcel of the political process and election among the Iban at the grassroots level. “Tungkus asi” not only consolidates GPS political power, but its practice also helps researchers and observers alike to understand the politics of patronage within the Iban voters.
