Today in history: Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya came together to form Malaysia.
Today: Sabah and Sarawak remain with Malaysia. For 49 years already, but really, are they a part of us?
Have Sabah and Sarawak truly united with the Peninsula? Pardon me but as far as I can tell by my still very young mind and limited knowledge, I do not see the two Malaysian states integrated well with the rest of the states on the federal level. For all I know, it might be so for a reason. So that the people here can use the people there.
May I please use one simple example- giving up PPSMI. After so much unnecessary fuss, ourwise and farsighted government decided to let the medium of teaching Mathematics and Science revert back from English to Bahasa Melayu. Why? To help the Bumiputeras! Rural Sabahans and Sarawakians are already having a hard learning, forcing them to learn in English makes education even tougher.
Wow, the government was protecting rural Bumiputeras? That's nice, because I am used to hearing news of Sabah and Sarawak natives being exploited by none other than the government itself.
Too often have the names of Sabah and Sarawak been used to serve political purposes. Everybody claims they are protecting them, however in the various levels of ruling within Malaysia, we know that most of the power seems to be from the Peninsula. However, why does the majority of parliamentary seats come from Sarawak?
Just a thought to ponder on. I did not mean to cause anyone to be overly solemn or angry.
Today let us celebrate Malaysia. Continue to work towards unity. Don't you dare celebrate 1Malaysia for it is nothing more than an empty and blatantly abused slogan. Celebrate Malaysia, celebrate unity. Forget 1Malaysia and open your eyes to what the empty slogan has done to our country. Start helping people and doing good deeds daily. This is how a nation progresses- by citizens helping each other in need. Sabah and Sarawak do not need our discrimination, they certainly do not need to be used by politicians who claim to be helping them.
Sejahtera Malaysia.
