Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku

I am willing to die for my country. I love Malaysia that much, and I love Sarawak even more! I am willing to brave this supposed "chaos" if that means I can bring a change that will set Malaysia free from a corrupt government that cannot tell what's right from wrong any longer. I will not stand by and watch Malaysia descend into a state of complacency while parasites suck her dry at the pretense of development, peace and harmony. If anyone accuses me of being unpatriotic for this, I want to ask you back: are you willing to die for your country?

Allow me to quote from a friend:
"Business as usual for you and we are just a bunch of fools to you. And many have ridicule us for being crazy. Tear gas, water cannons, physical brutality - you think we deserved it for demanding electoral reforms in the name of democracy? You just don't know any better and I'll not waste time explaining something that you wouldn't even understand.
Evil triumphs when good men do nothing. We know better not to let evil triumph while we can still do something. If you are not in - that's fine. At the end of the day, it is all a matter of choice. Don't get in the way of those who are stepping out from their comfort zones to make a difference that matters. Don't try to twist your lack of understanding on this matter into something you think is childish. By all means, go busy tending to your turf grass in your little garden, while we hold back the landslide which could destroy the petty things that you love so much.
This is for the people who wants a change. And they deserve that change. And they get out to make that change."


Many who are against the movement for change and free and fair elections have stated that all they want is peace. Those who are not happy can just leave. They're right, I can just leave. Job opportunities in my field are more abundant elsewhere as well. The pay? Definitely much better than the going rate here. However, don't you ever forget: I was born here, this is my home, and through my maternal grandmother, I can trace my bloodline even further than your Parameswara. Malaysia is my home, and I believe that it's worth fighting for.
