All citizens shall enjoy equal rights and should be enjoyed together resources Malaysia, commented Nalini M and Kohila of Shout. Until this change occurs, Malaysia Today is just another public holiday in many, many public holidays in Malaysia.
16 September 2010, was the first time Malaysia Day will be celebrated with public holidays. This holiday is a political game of the National Front for encouraging the people of Sabah and Sarawak since 16 September is just the correctness of the day free for the people of Sabah and Sarawak.
Let us look back in history of Malaysia. Malaya gained independence in 1957. Independence is the independence of Malaya Emergency. At the same time the communist influence is spreading in Southeast Asia and the Fron Socialist and Communist ideology is still fresh in Malaya. Then, by controlling the communist movement and to ensure Borneo, Singapore and Malaya was still under their control, the British idea of Malaysia. At the beginning of Brunei was included once in the formation of Malaysia will be but at the last moment they pull out because of objections of the people of Brunei. Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak agree with because if not independence can not be obtained.
The British plan was also opposed by Indonesia and the Philippines because they see Malaysia as the British Empire in Southeast Asia. Not only that, Sulawesi and surrounding islands of Indonesia and the Philippines for grabs. However, all opposition was overcome and the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963. During establishment, the government of Malaya has a lot of promise to Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak. But after that dream has turned into a nightmare. In 1965, Singapore has come out of Malaysia because of dissatisfaction with the Federal Government. The people of Sabah and Sarawak are still alive to suffer even after 47 years in federal Malaysia.
Enough with the history. Now let us look at 47 years of the establishment of Malaysia: what are the advantages to the people of Malaysia and any tricks behind mengisythirakan 16 September 2010 as a public holiday?
All these changes are due to changes made by the people since March 2008 in which the People's Alliance has seized the five states of Perak BN even a year later was taken back through the back door by the BN. After the defeat of BN significantly in the last general election, he was aware that they can not ignore the feelings of ordinary people as not significant. In fact, the federal government still under the BN as votes obtained from the people of Sabah and Sarawak. In fact, the former stronghold of Johor BN has to be penetrated by the Pakatan Rakyat.
This situation has been used by the People's Alliance and the ordinary people to say that the PR will only need a little support from the Sabah and Sarawak to take over the federal government. It was scary BN. Not only that, the winds of change that swept Peninsular Malaysia has also come to Sabah and Sarawak. This means that the fixed deposit (fixed votes) BN in Sabah and Sarawak defendant. Furthermore, when the question of rights, history and the poverty of the people of Sabah and Sarawak, especially the indigenous people in question, the BN had a sense it can not be silent anymore. Sweets should be given to the people of Sabah and Sarawak. Then leave for Malaysia Day and 1Malaysia introduced to ensure all people are equal.
However, 53 years after the independence of Malaya and Malaysia 47 years after the establishment, whether the people now?
The issue of racism was the main agenda of political parties. Discrimination is still prevalent among Malaysians. Although the state of Sabah and Sarawak are part of Malaysia but it is the poorest state with the lowest socio-economic. The findings Nations Development Programme (UNDP) shows that the most serious poverty in Malaysia is among the indigenous communities in Sabah and Sarawak. Sarawak is a state that has a lot of natural resources like oil, gas and timber and is a country with great potential to become the most developed state in Malaysia, but the people there really pathetic. According to statistics, in Sabah and Sarawak, there are still many villages are not connected by roads and more than a quarter of households do not have access to electricity.
In addition, more than 40 percent of households in Sabah and Sarawak are still no clean water facilities and water treatment. According to statistics, about 25.254 people in Sarawak still do not have identity documents that involve the local communities that do not apply and the foreign residents who have long lived in the state.
The concept of citizenship based on race have long threatened the indigenous groups of the other, including the Iban in Sarawak and the Kadazan-Dusun in Sabah, as well as non-Malay ethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia, such as the Orang Asli. Because of the Kadazan-Dusun indigenous groups and others are the 'natives' in Sabah and Sarawak, they are also entitled to the rights of 'indigenous' as enshrined in the constitution, not only in Sabah and Sarawak but also in Peninsula Malaysia. However, whether this occurs? No.
So it seems, racial discrimination occurs in all corners of the country and the government instituted by the government to ensure that people are not united and are always jealous and suspicious of one another. Divide and rule at the top to ensure their safe operation. Resources and the country's wealth is controlled and enjoyed by a few while the majority of the people suffer. The persecution of indigenous people in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak are increasingly severe, and their rights violated.
Enough already of this situation. Changes must be taken by the people. 16 September is not enough public holiday to celebrate Malaysia Day. We need more than that. All citizens shall enjoy equal rights and should be able to enjoy a source of Malaysia together. Until this change occurs, Malaysia Today is just another public holiday in many, many public holidays in Malaysia.
