Should Sarawak pull out from Malaysia?

  “Should Sarawak pull out from Malaysia?” This question is not being asked by me but many of the people. If you try to search from google about this then u will know this is not a hot issue anymore.
  “Should Sarawak pull out from Malaysia?” Why people dare to ask this? why people have the idea of pulling Sarawak out of Malaysia? Should they do so? The main reason would be people of Sarawak feel the unfairness and they want justice, equality, respect, dignity in life.
 
There are many issues that make Sarawakian feel the unfairness and dissatisfied:


Oil money from Sarawak
Whose money was used to build PETRONAS TWIN tower, the MENARA Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital – PUTRA JAYA? If these projects were built by PETRONAS, then most of the money would have come from Sarawak and Terengganu. Why build such project in Kula Lumpur – it should be built in Bintulu or Miri, so those working for PETRONAS would stay in Bintulu / Miri, spent their income in Sarawak and tourist would come and see the TWIN towers in Sarawak. It would have made Sarawak richer. Now this project is put inside Wilayah – and young west Malaysia took it for granted that it comes from their father’s pocket. For Sarawakian, we were made poor by PETRONAS. Many are asking what has happened to the money we get from oil royalty? We are now suffering from oil price hike now, when did we enjoy money from oil then? Price of gas cylinder for cooking is reaching. The natives could not understand that such products are produced in Bintulu. But the West Malaysian are paying much less and they are the one that has no gas (except Terengganu).

Development in Sarawak
Looking at the physical development of Sarawak, it lacks so many things even the most basic needs – road, water, electricity, education and health. Why are we still so dependent on river transport? Why are Sarawak trunk roads in such poor condition and lack proper facilities for drivers. Why are clean drinking water so difficult to get and still no electricity to dwelling places that are located in some urban areas and most sub-urban areas? Why are we not seeing good schools and health care for the rural folks? The “Flying doctors” service is still too limited, while billion worth of hospitals are build in West Malaysia – not one but many in just one city. In Sarawak ,the Sarawak General Hospital was built maybe 4 decades ago. Do we have a new one – the answer is NO? We do have new expansive private hospital that poor rural folks has no chance of using it as they don’t have money. Sarawakian will ask “Poor Development in Sarawak because no money to do development??” “Where has those money gone??”

Money fro hydro-dam
The Batang Ai hydro dam has now shown the true problems caused by relocation of the people living in the area. No land to expand their farming activity, SALCRA providing minimum wages for their work in the plantation and low return from their share in Salcra. You just need to go to Lubuk Antu – what major economic activities has been implemented? The answer is NONE – as the goverment idea of helping the poor rakyat is just “give them” not training them to have skill and knowledge to better themselves. Are electricity made available to longhouses and villages in nearby areas? The answer is NO.
The Bakun dam is near completion. Is it going to benefit Sarawak poor – the answer is NO. It will feed the richer West Malaysian State, to provide power to their industry. Why don’t they relocate their industry to Sarawak? Too expansive, Sarawak lack basic infrastructure, it lacks skill worker, it has limited port facilities, poor transport system, it lacks town that can provide comfort for the employee etc. That goes to show that the rich suck on the poor man resources and are not paying for such resources in a correct manner.

People feel Sarawak has been side-line and ignored
No senior position in the Federal Civil Service, no senior members in the police and army, no important position in the cabinet, Sarawak bumiputera is even 4th class in the ranking behind the major races in West Malaysia. We didn’t join Malaysia – to learn only to speak Bahasa Malaysia and Islam as our official religion – causing hardship to people from other faith to get government financial support and respect. We want justice, we want equality, we want respect, we want dignity in our life. We do not need to “bow” and ” kneel” and “plead” for what is rightly ours. We want our money to develop ourselves and be able to live a better life.

My personal view,
All right. We all know why people have the idea of pulling Sarawak out from Malaysia. I think, so far we still no need to pull out Sarawak, it is not a simple thing, to do that need all people’s supports.Try to look from another angle, we are Sarawakians but we are also Malaysians. Pulling out Sarawak will cause Malaysia to face economic problem, Should we do that to Malaysia? Once Sarawak teamed up with Malaya and sabah in 1963, Sarawakian is not only Sarawakian anymore,but also Malaysian. What Sarawakian want are justice, equality, respect and dignity in life. What we really need now is not pulling Sarawak out of Malaysia, but a good leader for Sarawak to flight for our right, flight for our justice, equality, respect, dignity in life. Everyone can live happily and peacefully is most important.

Sarawak never joined Malaysia

Many peoples think that Sarawak, Sabah and Singapore joined Malaysia in 1963 to get independent  and free from colonization of British. Even I know Sarawak never joined Malaysia, but I still always using the sentence of “Sarawak joined Malaysia” and even wrote a post of  If Sarawak did not join Malaysia because influenced by peoples( everyone around me always saying that “Sarawak joined Malaysia” ).

 

Now I would like to tell everyone : “SARAWAK NEVER JOINED MALAYSIA!” If we do study history about “Formation of Malaysia” clearly, then we will know the the truth. Sarawak, Sabah and Singapore actually teamed up with Federation of Malaya to form Federation of Malaysia(Malaysia of today). Is “teamed up” to form Malaysia, not joined Malaysia that’s  already exist, do not misunderstand it. Before Sarawak,Sabah and Singapore teamed up with Malaya to form Malaysia, there was no Malaysia yet. 

 

 

formation of sarawak

 

 

should be:

Sarawak+Sabah+Singapore+Malaya=Malaysia (1963)

not:

Sarawak+Sabah+Malaysia(before 1963)= Malaysia( after 1963)

If Sarawak did not join Malaysia

The first move towards the formation of Malaysia came in 1961 when the idea for the formation of a wider federation comprising the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei was mooted by Tunku Abdul Rahman.
On 16 September 1963, the formation of Malaysia which consisted of the Federation of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singaore was formally promulgated.
Believe that we all know this since we learn from history subject at secondary school. But have u try to think How is the our life now in Sarawak right now ifSarawak did not join Malaysia in 1963?? Will economic in Sarawak better or worse? Sarawak is a state or country now?? If it is a state, it will join to which country? Indonesia? Or maybe still being colonized? Sarawak riches in natural resources like petroleum, will we richer and using low price petrol?

Passport needed when Peninsular Malaysia's people go to Sarawak

Under a special arrangement agreed during the formation of Malaysia, the East Malaysia states of Sabah and Sarawak can retain their respective immigration control systems. As a result, a passport is required when traveling from Peninsular Malaysia to East Malaysia, as well as the mutual travel between the two states. Malaysian citizens from Peninsular Malaysia were required to present a Malaysian passport when travelling to East Malaysia from Peninsular Malaysia.

       passport

This agreement actually is for protecting people from Sabah and Sarawak.

Sarawak is 100% democratic?

The are many Orang asli (native people) living in remote forest areas of Sarawak. Most of them has no Mycard (identification card) and also birth certificate. They face many difficulty to apply mycard, there are so many procedures to apply Mycard and registration center are too far from where they are living. For a Orang asli who is non-educated, has transport and financial problems and to apply mycard that is needed so many procedures(documents that they don't understand, signatures of certain person, witness and so on) is a very hard work~ More info

Do u know how many Orang asli in Sarawak?? Is a big number! Many of them has no Mycard, so how can they vote in the election????? They have lost they chance to vote. Sarawak is 100% democratic??? Politicians now, chosen by all people in Sarawak??

                                  mycard

                                

                                  After...... N year later.........

                           Untitled (3) 

 

Please solve this problem. No Mycard, No citizenship. They are people of Sarawak too. They should have their citizenship.

Walk out from university, but don’t walk out form Sarawak

Because of higher pay, better working environments and better working opportunities at oversea and west Malaysia, many graduates of Sarawak do not want to work at their home town after they have graduated.

home-at-sarawak

We have our right to do what we want. They are not wrong if they go other places to work because there are better opportunities, and those opportunities cannot be given by Sarawak. What i want to say is Don’t ask what can the Sarawak give to us, but ask ourselves what can we give to the Sarawak. If no one contribute to Sarawak, how can Sarawak contribute to others? All professionals Sarawakians are working at other places, then how the Sarawak become better?

Do you want Sarawak become better?

Sarawakian: yct51Yes, of course lah, I love Sarawak. yct82

yct78How to make it better?

Sarawakian: wph111 Erm….Ask state government do better loh, because they are doing nothing.

If you think government is doing nothing, then are you doing anything?

Sarawakian:( your answer )
