Love Hate Affair

Which is easier? To love or to hate? Many promote love but only little know how to love. Thus the result of hate, the opposite of love. Why is it so hard for us to show love? Why does'nt anyone want to do the right thing? Nevertheless, doing the wrong thing is easier. Is that what God wants you to do?

Recently, a group was made to hate a certain person. Yesterday it had 500 followers. Today, amazingly 3000 Sarawakians join the group. Promoting unnescessary hate. With technology it's much easier. The reason, we were called jungle people and that all Sarawakian girls are bithes and sluts. Face the fact that all Sarawakians have been called jungle people and that we are not advanced enough, not forgetting, we also are 'kampung'. On the other hand, bitches and sluts can be found everywhre aroud the world.

Whos ingnorance of Malaysia is that? Definately not ours but the other party. It's not our fault that they are un-educated enough about their own country. So what shoud we do? Hate? We should on the other hand educate them, not like the media do. But in our own gentle ways. The media only shows that Sarawak people wear 'cawat', hunt in the jungle, live in longhouses and their main mode of transport is the sampan. Why don't we change the prespective and go against the media instead? (but no, Sarawakians think that it's good that the media shows that to enhance the Tourism industry).

Being a Sarawakian myself, I often get a lot of those comments when I'm studying in the West. Some even think that Sarawak is not a part of Malaysia. Who do we blame? their ignorance?  them?? I say the media. Yes, Sarawak is blessed with many culture and beautiful forests but thats what the media only shows. Not its real present people in the present 20th century. As for our daily living, no we do not hunt nor do we fish. We buy food from the supermarket and work in front of the computer to make ends meet. We go to school sitting in our cars and we go for holidays sitting in planes. Just like other West Malaysians do. Not forgetting that English is 70% our mother tounge (for those living in town), besides Bahasa Malaysia and our native laguage. Most of us live openly, mixing with other 26 races present in our land, adding its authenticity.

So why judge us? We are actually proud of who we are. Not of what you say about us. Lets see how many Sarawakians will comment on what they have experienced living in the land of the West.

Instead of hating, do the tougher job, which is to love. And please mind your attitude and manners. Just because of one tiny thing, everyone gets the blame. You do not want to be like any other ordinary people our there my fellow Sarawakians. We are more than that.

Yes, I do love my fellow West Malaysians too..
