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.
