RAJAH CHA...LIFE WAS DEFINITELY BETTER BEFORE 1963!<br /><br />RAJAH CHARLES BROOKE'S 1915 WARNING BECOMES TRUE AS EACH DAY PASSES- SARAWAK BECOMES LAND OF KULI KULI.....<br /><br />"Unless you follow this advice you will lose your birth right, which will be taken from you by strangers and speculators who will in their turn become masters and owners, whilst you yourselves, you people of the soil, will be thrown aside, and become nothing but coolies and outcasts of the island".- Rajah Charles Brooke in his farewell speech 1915.<br /><br />The Tua Kampong's gentle reproach is fair comment as the plight of workers in the towns factories and plantations has hardly improved with 50 years of wealth being drained from Sarawak or Sabah for the matter.<br /><br />Now those who rule over us deem it adequate for the workers to survive on $20.00 a day. <br /><br />This hardly pays for a taxi ride to the airport whether in Kuching or KK! Or buy your family a decent meal not to say 3 square meals a day.<br /><br />Our "elected" representatives (now confirmed by the RCI) as having got there by fraud) have a grand life with the money they are stealing from the land and people.<br /><br />Our people get tossed out of their homes and lands and some survive on foraging in the city rubbish dumps and not in the jungles as there are no more jungles with game, fruit, fresh water or timber for housing.<br /><br />It is a great wonder that there has been no armed uprising by the people and it just makes you wonder why? There must be a breaking point?<br /><br />Thus 2013 being the 50th year of Malayan colonial plunder and domination many of us will still be wondering what were the promises the Malayan made to us in exchange for "independence in Malaysia"?<br /><br />Why are we still being conned not just by UMNO and Pakatan politicians but also our own local "leaders" and sucking up this bullshit independence?<br /><br />NO TREES NO LAND NO FOOD NO WATER NO LIFE!<br /><br />LIFE WAS DEFINITELY BETTER BEFORE 1963! <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
