Sarawak Is the Future For Papa Orangutan

An open letter by Peter John Jaban (Papa Orangutan)

One week after the recent debacle with the Police in Miri, I am happy to be home, here in Sarawak.  I’ve been resting after going to ground and planning for the future.  I’ve decided that my future is here.  I was born here and I intend to remain here!  There is so much work to be done especially with crucial elections just round the corner.  This is our chance is to bring about real change in Sarawak politics.My struggle for Sarawak will continue where it’s needed most.

The events of the last week have revealed many things.  The first is just a reminder of how much I love this country, how much I love Sarawak.  As the Malay saying goes: ‘Hujanemas di negeri orang, hujanbatu di negerisendiri.’  I am a Sarawakian!  I need to be here among my people to work effectively.  I started Radio Free Sarawak and moved to London mainly because freedom of expression here in my own country is lacking – something that I am trying to change.  But, I just couldn’t stay away.  Now, I feel that I can best continue my struggle for the future of Sarawak here. 

Non-citizens warned against 'hijacking' elections

PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim today warned foreigners allegedly roped in to vote in the next general election that they would be committing a crime, and they may face action if Pakatan Rakyat takes over the federal government.

“We are coming out to warn those who are non-citizens who have been voting illegally, we are warning them, you cannot hijack this election.

“You can take the money given to you by Umno or take whatever (that has been given), but you are not entitled to vote,” he said during a dialogue with some 1,000 business leaders and professionals in Petaling Jaya today.

Prime Minister's post a bridge to cross at the right time!

By Joe Fernandez
Pas President Hadi Awang should not have said that only a "Malay" Muslim -- probably "determined" by a DNA test a la Pas -- will be Prime Minister if and when Pakatan Rakyat (PR) seizes the reins of power in Putrajaya and initiates, forms and leads the Federal Government.

Is he implying that a "Malay" Muslim is not the Prime Minister now and that "Malay" Muslims have never held the post?

What he said is not unlawful in a Court of Law.

Professor Khoo has been educated beyond his intelligence. His statements about Malaya belonging to the so-called Malays do not hold water.

 

Tanah Melayu refers to Malay reservation land and wherever the Malays stayed. In Sarawak, they refer to Tanah Dayak wherever the Dayak communities stay. So, do we rename Sarawak as Persekutuan Tanah Dayak?

 

The Malay-speaking communities in Peninsular Malaysia are not the Orang Asal or Natives. Read the Constitution.
