PETALING JAYA: In case you haven’t noticed, there’s yet another music video about harmonious living in Malaysia.
The new video, produced for the 60th Merdeka celebration and featuring characters named Ali, Ah Kao and Muthu, showcases the musical talents of Namewee, Aniq and David Arumugam. Those who have watched it on YouTube and like it have praised it with such words as “heart warming”, “lovely” and “beautiful” .
This narrative of harmony among Malays, Chinese and Indians has been appearing regularly in Merdeka advertisements through the years, but it is one that a Sabah activist objects to, saying it does not give the true Malaysian story.
“It’s sickening,” said Zainal Ajamain, who campaigns for strict observance of the 1963 Malaysia Agreement.
“Every year, Sabahans and Sarawakians have the Malayan narrative of Merdeka shoved down our throats. It’s as if Malaysia consists only of Malays, Chinese and Indians.
“Worse still, people say it’s Malaysia’s 60th independence day and it is not.”
According to him, the root problem is that many political leaders and people in the entertainment industry do not know, or perhaps refuse to acknowledge, historical facts.
One of these facts is that Malaysia was formed on Sept 16, 1963, making it 54 years old and not 60.
In 2015, the Communications and Multimedia Ministry announced that the 58th Merdeka Day would be known as National Day 2015. It said this was to foster closer ties between Peninsular Malaysians and the people of Sabah and Sarawak.
Zainal is irked that some politicians and the KL-centric entertainment industry do not seem to see Sabah and Sarawak as equal to Peninsular Malaysia in the Malaysian partnership.
“I’m happy for Malayans that they achieved independence on August 31, 1957. But that’s their history. It has nothing to do with Sabah or Sarawak. So why force us to put on a show and celebrate it like it means something to us?”
He said a true national celebration would be Malaysia Day, which falls on Sept 16.
“I hope that people who like to boast about being Malaysian, especially political leaders, actually understand that Malaysia includes the history, people and narrative of Sabah and Sarawak. Malaya alone is not Malaysia.”
actually, sabah dan semenanjung merdeka pada tarikh yang sama, cuma berbeza tahun.
So, the date actually have significant meaning for Semenanjung dan Sabah. Untuk part sarawak tu dah betul dah..depa memang xde significant meaning for the 31 August.
Apa bodoh sangat nak kata merdeka yang sebenar ialah 16 September...itu adalah pembentukan Malaysia...tak boleh dianggap hari merdeka kerana hanya Sabah Sarawak n Singapura saja yang merdeka tahun tu..negeri2 semenanjung /Malaya merdeka 1957...tentulah kena pakai 1957..takkan nak nak kerat jadi tahun 1963 pula...
tapi sebenarnya tarikh kemerdekaan Sabah n Sarawak sepatutnya 31 Ogos 1963...tapi kerana bantahan Indon dibawah Sukarnok yang teringin mencaplok kedua2 wilayah tersebut masuk Indon menyebabkan PBB terpkasa membuat referandum dan prosesnya menyebabkan kemerdekaan Sabah n Sarawak terpaksa diubah ke 16 September 1963...
dalam blog2 orang Sumatera banyak juga yang menyarankan Sumatera merdeka dan gabung dengan Malaysia...maklum disana kan ramai umat melayu yang sama macam disemenanjung...
Tak kesah lar diorang nak macam mana pun, terserahhh. Kalau diorang nak jadi negara senirik pun terrserahh. Lagi bagus sebab diorang boleh tapiskan babi2 Jhowo pukimak tue sekali. Sebelum babi2 tue berenang merayap dalam Tanah Melayu neh, diorang kena sagat2 dengan Sumatera dulu
So sampai sekarang indon2 jongos sampah lahanat meroyan coz tak dapat mencaplok Sabah dan Serawak kerrr? Laaaa, patut la tak kira masa dan tempat, indon jongos asyik meroyan sembang kencang walaupun ketika tengah berak merata2 reramai sesambil berlaga bontot di sungai citarum...
memang sampai sekarang indon senak perut tak habis2...kira orang Sabah n Sarawak tak payah nak ungkit2 berada dalam Malaysia..setidak2nya dapat merdeka dan perintah sendiri negeri korang..bayangkan kalau dapat kat indon pastilah gabenor dan orang2 besar semuanya akan dilantik dari kalangan wong jowo..dan pastilah 100% kekayaan minyak akan dibolot oleh Zakarta sebagaimana mereka membolot minyak di Acheh...akhirnya yang kaya wong jowo dan zakarta Acheh tetap mundur...

Sabah dan Sarawak sesunnguhnya tidak selevel dengan negeri umat suci mulia perkasa tanah melayu... kerana itu memang selayaknya Sabah dan Sarawak menjadi bagian atau bergabung dengan Indonesia .. sama-sama pprt...
Itulah hàkekat yg suka atau tidak suka harus diterima dengan lapang dada...
Haa tengok nie .. rakyat Indon kat Kalimantan pon terpaksa pilih Malaysia (Borneo) untuk cari rezki dan bersekolah.
Serba serbi lebih elok di Malaysia. Video ni rakyat Indon sendiri buat .. baru kuar kat Youtube
Kasihan depa
